I don’t know. Warne probably doesn’t either as he barely gave any of our academy lads a chance in the EFL Trophy. A big opportunity missed to check if these players are ready in a non pressure situation.

I’ve defender Bird in the past, but my patience has gone. He should be dominating at this level. Instead he’s chasing shadows. Doesn’t contribute enough offensively or defensively. Powder puff. Can’t tackle. Poor. He’ll go in the summer. A lower champ team will take him. He needs to play in a 3 though. Him and Hourihane are getting done every time as a 2.

Did you watch the game? Easily our best player. Only a 7/10 but decent. Best of a bad bunch

Why didn’t we play  a 3 then? Thompson as a ‘10’ is bizarre. He doesn’t have the guile, touch or attacking prowess for an attacking role. He’s a hustler. That should have been utilised deeper to gain control of the midfield.

Yeah he was massively exposed. 2v1, they had acres on that side. Not his fault though. He could’ve closed down a bit quicker, but the issue was how easy it was to switch the play and how much space they had with an overload to go with it. Derbys shape was shocking for that goal.

No idea what the strategy is. No idea what the tactical approach is, beyond 'put out 11 "good characters", tell them to get it forward quickly, and see what they come up with'.
Eight points off automatic and heading in the wrong direction, despite the manager inheriting a more-than-decent squad, and being given plenty of latitude to sign new players. Odd, piecemeal recruitment with no long-term vision. A squad increasingly tilted towards technically limited, League One journeymen. 
Anyone questioning any of this jeered and sneered at - as if you can't really care about something unless you believe, contrary to all evidence, that everything is absolutely fine!
It isn't. It really isn't. 

That's up there with the most angry I've been this season.
The fact we could have gone top and have gone to a team in the bottom 3 and not even mustered a shot on target is a shambles really.
Elder was the only one to come out with any credit.
Nelson and Cashin were ok. Cashin gave the ball away too many times though.
Bird and Hourihane were a joke. Half hearted tackles. No control. Offered absolutely nothing. We are crying out for a midfielder who can break up play, put his foot on the ball and dictate play. That midfield is all over the place.
Collins was offside at almost every opportunity. Even when the ball didn't go to him. He's offside. 
Sibley and Ward came on and did absolutely nothing again.
TJJ looks like he's done. No great loss at all.
We still need 3 players in for me.

I genuinely can't stand this football, I do not enjoy watching this team at all. When we are winning you kind of stomach it but as soon as the form drops off it's full on suicide watch stuff. How can you be that bad as a team? Do they even train together?

This window should be about improving the team now, not for the future. Dobra has 6 in 23 at national league level. That hardly screams out as an automatic first choice and an improvement on Wilson or Barkhuizen. Can’t see it myself. 

Hopefully the sh!te on the pitch last night will help the grass grow.

I think it’s backfired us not playing some more youngsters now in this competition. We’ve learnt nowt from playing our first team players and now don’t have a final to fall back on. This was an ideal time to sound out the Weston’s, Robinsons, Browns and Fapetu. 
The league was always the priority, but a final would’ve been nice. This was an ideal opportunity wasted to give some U18s/23s a go.

Unfortunately Sibley may be one. He’s a shadow of what he was 3 years ago. Such a shame.
