Weird team. I know Jones is a Christian but is he the saviour because his team selections are getting stranger & stranger.
What’s strange about it? Standard keeper, three CBs at CB, the same 4 across midfield and wingback as usual. The only thing that’s changed is instead of playing Anderson, who is very out of form, at the tip of the midfield he’s put Alfie there, where he’s done well before. Two strikers up front. It’s hardly a strange selection is it?
The strange thing is that Anderson's replacement, Ladapo, has been in even worse form.
That’s a squad building issue, not a selection one. If Jones wants to try Alfie behind the strikers then he has to replace him with a striker. Can’t start Chuks so it’s Ladapo. Add to that that Ladapo is essentially on trial it’s the logical choice based on what’s available
Slightly concerning how quickly we appear to have run out of ideas under Nathan. Happy to give him time and see what he can do with his own squad but doesn't look super inspiring today or against Exeter imo

Worth remembering where we were before he took over and hadn't won in 3 months. The squad is poor, certainly nowhere near good enough to be challenging for the top 6 positions
Not been any real chances yet. Three of Stevenage's last six games have been 0-0. They've got the fourth best defence in the division which is why they are in the play-off hunt - don't actually score that many themselves. 19'
Former Millwall man Ben Thompson is booked for taking down Kanu on halfway
Was sent off against the Addicks a few seasons back when he was on loan at Pompey 23'
'fraid early doors Kanu is again isolated up top, Freddie just can't seem to get into a game,and gets knocked off the ball far too easily for a big guy, roll on Chuks...
Why can’t our players control a ball or make an accurate 10 yard pass? What do they do all week at training?
I just watched the Leicester championship game and although only a league above the quality of the players v ours is as different as night and day.
We would get murdered in the championship.
Unfortunately we've been getting murdered in league one for large parts of the season. Hard to work out why this group don't even look like pros sometimes

Hand ball by (Stevenage).
Ball was just far too ahead, allowing the Goalkeeper to come out and clear
Orient 0 Posh 1
10 mins in, main focus has been to play it down our left with Small, Dobson plopping balls over the top and wide for small and Kanu.

He brings down the advancing Kanu.
