Tbf they seem as bad as us

So very dull. Aimless boring passing, but if we do try something more ambitious the pass is poor or the player cant hold it. Archer seems far too lightweight and Manning is incapable of doing anything other than the very very basics.

Tonda getting grief but when he won 4 out of 5 the vast majority were saying he should get the job. In fact demanding it. Those people all deny it now.

They get the ball at the back, wrong press. We get it and theyre all over us. Also why is a defender taking goal kicks and playing them in to the 6 yard box to bazunu who gets pressurised. Absolute suicide, I was coached not to do that at the age of 8. Unbelievable.

This isn't a step in the right direction. It might have been had they been a top 10 side, but it's another promoted side at home. We won't get many better chances and again we failed. These games are absolutely critical.

Not scapegoating him. Its just the annoying narrative that just because he comes out and admits we're crap, somehow he's a great captain.

Looking forward to brave Jack facing the media saying we weren't good enough and it's unacceptable. Then people saying he's a great captain and how much he loves the club ffs.

The lack of balls in this team is incredible. We go in front in a game and then we shrink and become totally passive.

Didn't get out to the wide man, and no effort to stop the cross. Their striker fell over and still had time to get up. Pathetic defending.

Clinton Morrison on sky just sad we are 'very predictable and not really good enough. But then that's Russell Martins style'. Ouch! Bit harsh...

When we're on the front foot we looked good, but passing it around at the back we looked increasingly jittery. Bazunu in particular looks like he's trying to present them with a goal. We have to take back control and keep the ball better or its a matter of time til they score.

Every game u listen to on solent, Jo Tessem says 'we just don't move the ball quickly enough' and yet every week we do exactly the same. Meanwhile Ipswich are playing with pace at home and went 2 up in 15 minutes.

Let's face it, our tactics are basically negative. More interested in passing than scoring. Martin thinks he knows something the rest of the league don't. Meanwhile the best teams play at a higher speed and score goals.

Every time we can go wide we play it back inside where it's congested. And everything we can ho forward into space, we turn and pass back into our back four. It's absolutely baffling because it puts us under so much pressure.

We just give them so much time on the ball. If they get another I can see the confidence drain out of us.
