I don't think the attacking players are on particularly great form atm. And, as i said going through January, we don't have the depth in the attacking 3rd to sustain us - Selling AA means we are reliant on Archer (who is beyond poor), Stewart can't manage more than 45min, and Larin (who i rate vs sides like WBA who are physical and want to sit deep) can't do it all. Now Scienza is likely out for a decent period, and JayRob and wellington are out as well, we look both very thin on the ground and out of form. Azaz can't play all the time either. Reckon we're perilously close to the wheels coming off this season sadly, right for the crucial run in . Dropping points vs the likes of WBA, Oxford, Pompey etc is going to cost us now that the crunch is on.

I wonder if he'll be fit for Wrexham. Not feeling confident after tonight 😕

Worrying if so... he really hasn't played much.

It was called by numerous people at half time. 4-4-2, Stewart and Larin, 2 wingers, get the crosses in. He waited till basically the last minutes of the game to essentially do that with Archer, Larin, Edozie, and Fellows. Its too late (obviously). He's done well lately, but his naivety/inexperience cost us tonight (won't be the last time, and it is what it is with him 🤷‍♂️) - but the people who can't see this and won't countenance any criticism of Eckert are just burying their heads in the sand and lacking all balance when it comes to our performances. Its perfectly reasonable to say when he's done well at times, and when he does badly at others - particularly as most of the forum telegraphed this game midway through the first half yet the manager waited until the 83rd minute... 😄

3 points dropped by Eckert, 1 point saved by Edozie, Larin, and Peretz...

We scored from a cross, then spent 5min refusing to cross. Make it make sense.

Would you look at that... we actually attacked down the wing and crossed it for the striker. Well played edozie and larin, saved Eckert's blushes, maybe.

Tonda needs to learn from this. Propaganda football all night long - WBA couldn't have dreamed we'd set up this badly and refuse to change for 85min. Joke. And a golden chance at the playoffs thrown away. This level of performance cannot happen again.

WBA looking far the better side here.

What the actual fuck was that.

This is entirely on Tonda's tactical naivity tonight. At some point he'll change it up.... Problem is, he took stewart off, which was a huge fuck up when chasing the game and creating sod all. Edit... finally we go two strikers... sadly one of them is Archer 😄. Maybe the objective is not stay down this season?

What was that from Charles Almost the entire team are just completely off it tonight 😭

What is really pissing me off is the total lack of urgency and how basically not one of them is taking responsibility. Manning has probably offered the most concerted threat when he's been up near their box and tried to take his man on and get it into the box.

Yup, he's our MoTM tbh... grim.

How do the ref and linesman miss that? Fucking incompetent
