Big step backwards today from the last couple of games.
Loft looked a different player and couldn’t control the ball to save his life. Not sure what Turan offers that’s different to Loft they don’t look like a pair that will fit.
Better from Bedeau and O’Malley looks decent.
Gillead a better day but still out of position first half.
Hopefully we’ve learned that 4-4-2 is the way.
Not good though I could’ve rounded up 10 mates and beaten that Crawley team. Failing to win against teams as piss poor as that is very concerning.
I’m generally watching the ball anyway when I’m at the game like the camera does I don’t spend a lot of time watching players off the ball I don’t think?
Not sure about Hornshaw for next week, last minute he looked like his calf or hamstring went and as soon as full time whistle went he sat down and was shaking his head. Hopefully Rowe will be fit.
Gillead doesn’t work in Cm and it’s not needed. Vincent not as good as last week today but definitely good enough and Spence I like. He doesn’t look like he’s doing a lot but he gets in good positions. Bit of time and he could be the break up man we’ve missed since Bish left. Doesn’t look to do much but stops the opposition from playing.
Although I would still like us to add an experienced Cm.
442 with Gillead, Eisa, Hippolyte and Colclough to chose from as wingers. Who else in league 2 has options like that?
It was a boring game that neither team really deserved to win.
I don’t like the formation and Cox will loose people’s faith quickly if he won’t stop playing players out of position were they are clearly ineffective.
Eisa and Gillead both being absolutely wasted through the centre.
Hippolyte and Hornshaw are not wingbacks although Hippolyte did defend well today.
3 CB’s is shit.
Get Loft a proper partner we had 3 strikers on the bench.
What I’ve seen of the signings we could have the basis of a really promising team if they are used properly.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Barwick. Definitely not a Cod Fan.
I would say easily the worst midfielder we’ve had in my lifetime.
Big shout. Can you not remember Mark Gavin? Or Jimmy Walker? Barwick wasn’t great but there’s some stiff competition for worst midfielder.
I was going to say Mark Gavin was before my time but I checked and he wasn’t. But it was my first proper season when I was only 10 or so and I have no memory of him at all.
Do you mean Justin Walker? I remember him he was awful. Thought he was David Beckham and used to come off spotless even though we played in white at the time.
I googled Jimmy Walker the only one that comes up is a keeper?

That’s how it always used to work Mick. I watched all the away games last year and always defaulted to Humberside commentary yesterday was the first time I’ve ever had to change it manually.
The second half was piss poor, first was alright but we were only Really counter attacking and we gave away a lot of position. We finished as a threat when Green went off he looks promising. Very quick.
O’Malley over Butroid on Saturday for me as well thought he looked a much more competent defender.
Only Beestin who hasn’t been involved without explaination I beleive unless it is one of the kids like Barks or Collins so it seems it probably is him.
Would likely have played instead of Spence tonight if available I would say.
I would presume it goes through which clubs website you buy the pass from no? That would seem the simplest way to tell which club you were a supporter of?
Hornshaw looked decent at RB but not a natural hope we’re not trying to force a position into someone again. Was beaten n the air for the first goal but was blatantly climbed on. Rodney did that every time there was an aerial challenge and got away with it.
Watson 3 saves and needed 2 goes at all 3 of them but didn’t push them directly to the opposition this time. Rushed out well a couple of times but the winner was a cross that bounced in the 6 yard box. Butroid lost his man but keeper should deal with that.
