True this. Two very poor performances.

Not one player has had the nous to look to get between the lines - it's part and parcel of possession football. RM and his coaches clearly don't understand how it works.

A totally disjointed 90 minutes of football. Explanations needed from RM.

RM, one step forward, two steps back.

Mara is a fraud.

Exactly this so what are the coaches doing?

It's all very poor when you think we should be pushing for an equaliser and haven't tested their keeper.

I think if Mara was playing charades and the word was footballer no one would ever get the answer.

Maybe one of his team mates should fill that space?

If you want to play passing football you need to be fizzing the ball around - our passes are all slow and that reflects how we play.

Absolute shambles this half - the tone was set by Bazunu and Holgate making clowns of themselves. 3 subs please RM.

He's probably been our best player.

I couldn't believe it but Wikepedia has Manning taller than Bree.

Dunno but at least she spotted that we should have been moving the ball much quicker.

Bit lucky to be in front. Little quality apart from KWPs goal. Che not involved and needs to be dropping off to receive the ball. Too much walking football and not enough angles being made. PNE look dangerous from corners and VAR would have given them a penalty for Charles handball. Need a big improvement in the second half if we are to take all 3 points.

Holgate and Bree need to show they can step up so that the dynamics of the team are not affected too much by the changes.

I think he might try Ryan Fraser in the number 8 role. RM said they've been looking at this in training. That's where he played when he came on against Hull and he scored a very good goal.

It was a high quality finish from RF. He did well to control the shot because it would have been easy to slash at the ball and send it over the bar.

With Alcaraz not on top of his form maybe Fraser could be an option as the number 8 alongside Smallbone and Downes.

It's a very good result and 10 points from the last 12 is great although I think this squad should be capable of more polished performances than we're getting.

It was a poor attempt at humour quoting from Dad's Army. I didn't mean it literally 🙂

The perfect time for us to score. Surely we'll hold on.

To run down the clock maybe.

We're doomed!
