Totally…. It’s tactical organisation that needs addressing, not JUST personnel. Matting needs to look in the mirror too….

For three years we have been over run in midfield because our coach’s can’t organise a central midfield at all, it’s non existent in fact just clear grass….

It’s more tactical strategy than midfield personnel. We have no one in the middle of the pitch and it is so easy to spot but we insist on repeating the mess of tactical set up.

All good apart from ‘teachers pet’ Adam Armstrong - What on earth ….

It was pretty obvious in pre season that any team who aggressively close us down would probably wreck our only tactic and beat us convincingly. Yes it was a scratch 11 but it is obvious how to play against us.. Close us down and go for set pieces and crosses. Perhaps we should concentrate training on defence before we prioritise anything else…….. It is not all McCarthy it is our totally inept defending that is awful …

Why do people constantly need to preach to everyone else what is in their view morally acceptable? Why do they need to publicly snort out loud how morally superior they are to others, it’s boring and insecure. The way they always need to differentiate between black and white skin is nauseating.

😂😂😂🙄

Bree certainly puts my back up!

MOTM for me was Classie who ran the show and once upon a time he couldn’t get in our team…..Those were the days….

Spot on and I was there. Armstrong runs around chasing shadows and is increasingly unproductive. Che is about 1% better. That team would not get anywhere near promotion. Possession football is one thing and very commendable, however when played at such a very slow pace is so easy to defend. Martin has to train the guys to move the ball far far quicker than this. Honestly standards have dropped a long way in recent seasons.

You must be very easily pleased 😂

You have to be joking! That was largely atrocious today.

This is crap

Christ … Fell asleep three times! Wouldn’t more than fifteen quid to watch that.

Totally agree with that. He is not close to what we need for our ambitions.

Smallbone definitely

Sorry but disagree. Doyle may not have been perfect, however he offered far more than most first half and was intelligent with his anticipation and positioning… Played well second half also but didn’t stand out as we had a much improved team second half.

Can anyone at all explain why Doyle was nowhere near being picked last season?

Afraid to say but , they look infinitely better than us. Here’s an idea, how about running? Just a vague idea, I’ve got no coaching badges…..

Yeah he doesn’t have a football brain, never going to be good enough

Who told our players we are in a compulsory walking football match?

Dire dire football from us.

Totally ridiculous. He had no pace left when he last played for us. He is way too old and would serve no purpose what so ever. It is a big fat definite no.

Pleased to see that this year we are upping our pre season competition. We usually play some part timers in a foreign league and then maybe one decent team just we start the season. This year looks as though we mean business and none of this ‘It’s about fitness’ nonsense. Looking forward to seeing us play and definitely going to a friendly or two.

Precisely. The huge issue for us since and during Ralph was that the gap between defence and midfield was impossibly large. There was no route out from the back and hence invariably the ball ended up back to our goalkeeper or we were losing possession altogether. In possession we had everyone 50 yards in front of the ball, a ridiculous tactic that also left us completely open to counter attacks on the occasions we did manage to move forward. To defend JWP slightly, he had no outlet to pass to forwards which is why ( to some extent) he constantly ended up passing backwards. It was like writing in block capitals rather than joined up writing…. No cohesion or structure could be built.
