we simply don’t have a first 11 that ‘picks itself’ barring dobbo, edun and may- which is beyond worrying , constant tinkering and injuries only make the bad even worse!
At least 2 new players needed in each third of the pitch - which looks worrying as I just can’t see it coming.
mistakes galore at the back, needing 6 shots on target just to score one, and apathy kicking in just approaching mid august- disgusting
I'm not convinced by Edun's defending so far CBT as he's the only creative threat
Multiple players making stupid mistakes in every game says to me the problem is one of mentality. We lack leaders and experience - a pratley type would do a world of good
Our mindset is awful. For 25 mins we were comfortable and dominating. Referee doesn’t give us the free kick and then the red card. We were awful after that.
Problem is that we always look like we are going to conceded and gift goals to opposition. Hector mistake was coming about 5 mins before that. DJ was awful and shows how bad the squad is that he was even brought on today.
Squad isn’t good enough and we got a week to change it, or another mid table season for us.

Agree. We need a proper captain. Dobson is a good player but not a leader
I consoled myself before this game that the worst case would be a draw but we would most likely a win, hopefully by two goals. I need to rethink things.
Well it would seem every time we get another sets of wankers etc to hopefully push us forward we end up going backwards 👎👎👎 complete and utter Shite. if you cannot beat Port Vale you are Fucked finished end of 👎👎👎👎
Sorry, posted this on the match thread just before it closed. Sunderland fans were sending us commiserations that Methven was involved in the take over but we thought it would be different with us, how’s it going?
I feel bad for Asimwe he has been decent for a young lad but why did we get rid of Clare, was he on stupid money, he was a very good right back, doesn’t make sense to be left so short on players. We will certainly see if these owners are serious or not in the next week or so.
As soon as we went 1 up we totally changed. Why? Is that coming from the players or the management? They were there for the taking but we just gave the momentum back to them. And they went 2-1 up and I could just see it. We then had a brief flurry but, again, we capitulated and they won 3-2. Very concerning.
Could see that the teenagers were absolutely knackered after about 70 mins.
When that long punt was played over the half way line I knew Asiimwe would struggle. Don’t know if the bloke who scored had just come on, but it was an uneven contest. Wish he’d just smashed the ball out for a throw, or even a corner. Such a shame because he’s had another very good game.
A couple of minutes earlier I was on my feet for May’s winner, only for that Smith to block the goal bound shot. Almost exactly THE SAME AS LAST WEEK! We do seem to be cursed.
But it’s not that of course. The squad is just too thin, so we’re relying on kids. Some of our earlier signing were so awful we can give ‘em away, which I’m sure isn’t helping.
Meanwhile Danson’s Wigan beat top of the league Bolton 4-0 away and they’re a point behind us having started on -8 ffs.
It feels like a break from this sh1t is urgently needed, as it’ll be meltdown here now. Another angry Saturday.
Wasn't there so cant comment on the game itself.......
Now down to 18th. Will that help us recruit players before the window shuts, especially those (supposedly) from Championship sides.
I've got used to losing games once we concede first, but now we are now losing games once we score first. A new low.
Too many youngsters starting & as the bench is so weak we can't give them a rest. I read that Asimwe was struggling towards the end which might have contributed to their winner. And we sold our only other right back during the week. Madness. And I doubt Egbo was on a big wage so what have we saved ?
I take no pleasure in saying I told you so. I got pelters week after week during the close season.....but here we are. Just wish I was wrong once in a while.

Doesn't matter how well you play or who's available in our squad as an attacker, both of them scored today and we lost, and it's because of piss poor concentration at the back, individual errors.
Is there a consequence, individually, for fucking up and losing the game? I doubt it, but based on the goals we're giving away so far there should be
Tactically so poor - pedestrian slow and predictable, tactically naive - leaky defence - rubbish set pieces - the kids look promising but the experienced players with possible exception of Dobbo May and CBT are letting us down.
All goals come from errors, ours come from silly errors. Asiimwe should have leathered the ball out of play.
no they don’t. Goals are scored from various aspects of play.
But every one comes from an error somewhere even if it's a player not closing a player down enough, not tackling, a poor throw leading to a turnover etc. If there were no errors they'd be no goals.

the bottom four and Charlton
Same old, same old, which is concerning as you wonder how well the defence, and by that I mean the whole side, is being coached.
