Who would've thought only playing 1 attacking player would make it difficult to score? Baffling.

I think Gayle is a good signing but we need CBT getting up to speed and quick....we didn't chase after him to have no impact this season....433 NML Gayle CBT is a good front 3 for L1

Thought you were a fan of that

I think even you would admit I've been pretty consistent with my views win lose or draw. 
The standards of the club really must have fallen then if you think setting up so negatively and having 2 shots on goal in a 3rd division home game against stevenage isn't a bit embarrassing.

Oh come on. Even the most adamant warne fans would have to admit Mcgoldrick carried the team and warne last season. 
You cant seriously believe warne was responsible for how good McGoldrick was. 
Why was he unfancied? 
Do you think McGoldrick having such a good season was maybe down to the fact he was now playing against far worse teams than he had done for years? 
He was playing in the premier league 18 months before joining us.

Mendez-Laing is the best player in the league. I've not seen any opposition player give their team what he gives ours. He's carried us all season similar to what Didzy did last season, if not more. Even if he's having a bad game, out of position and playing in terrible tactics, he still wins it for us.  

Why not credit him????
Because he set us up like that. 2 shots on goal all game is embarrassing.

He was forced to was he ?
I suppose he was forced to play 8 defensive minded outfielders too ?
2 shots on goal all game, playing stevenage, at pride park, in the 3rd division. And your crediting warne ?

I would put Bird in the same bracket. Both are a level above this league

What are you shouting out Warne for? Setting us up in a formation that, as you say, doesn't work for us?

Glad for the win obviously.
But let’s not have the fluked result (cos that’s what it is and was) disguise a desperate performance created to a large extent by a woeful tactician of a manager. Don’t give me the line that it was PW’s sub of Sibs that got us the win. It was just luck, no more. Plus a large dose of desperation.
I can accept bad performances and understand the pressure on the players, particularly at home.
But our setup was appalling.
If we had gone attacking mode from the beginning (when Stevenage would realistically just be looking to get to HT at 0-0), scored two goals by H-T and then reverted to a back 5, then there would have been some logic to events. But PW’s talk about it being better to go for a win ( and risk losing) rather than draw is total BS. Talk is cheap but not matched by actions.
Stevenage deserved a draw. We got (very) lucky. Yes, we are where we are in the table and that’s good. But i am reminded of a tv interview with Matt Le Tiss who said that whilst Southgate was a nice guy he couldn’t help feeling that we would never win a tournament with him as manager and that he almost felt that with the players England have he( Le Tiss) could have managed them to a Euro final and WC semi. I feel the same about PW- it’s a ‘thanks Paul’ but no more. I have always been supportive of him but after today I seriously question his real credentials, yes, even acknowledging the current league position we find ourselves in.

helps if you only play 2 attacking players...

For the Warne thread I suppose, but as I've said before, 90-95% of managers would have us in a better position. With no striker, Warne benches our most dangerous attacking midfielder? He got lucky.

So if teams finish above us, that must only mean they are good? Its impossible that they could be above us because we're bad, is it? Just because teams are "the benchmark", doesn't prove they're good.
How does the fact no-one is pulling away in the league prove that its of high quality and competitive? It just proves there are no good teams, because a good team would be pulling away.
Its an advantage in the fact that - the vast majority of the time, relegated teams are competitors for promotion the following season. Therefore its three direct competitors removed from the equation, fighting for three spots. Whether Reading/Wigan beat us in a one-off game is irrelevant. Its where they are in the league table. 

All three goals v Exeter were prime example
