It's not exactly encouraging |
There’s no incisiveness in our play. It’s slow and laboured and we are son condensed at times, trying to play ourselves out of trouble.
I understand that this has been ingrained in them for a few years but it’s not getting any better.
We need pace out on the wings. Key, as good as he is can only really come b@ck inside. I don’t think he got much return going behind the defender,
I’m not panicking yet, far from it but we need to see some improvement in our approach and soon. |  |

That is madness and rather concerning
When all said and done all three of our CBS can be weak especially Darling
Quite why did we bring him in |
Coz that clown of ex manager signed him along with the worst keeper in living memory |  | | |

Good post, but how easy was it for them to score those two goals, we went 1 up and then just coasted through the game, Duff needs to sort our game plan out and especially our defending, although we looked reasonably comfortable in defence until they upped their game. |  |

Two from a possible 12 points now. Perhaps we will see signings that improve our situation, but at the moment we have work to do to even achieve a mid-table finish. Are the optimists starting to lower their expectations? | | | |

His legacy really.
Players still trapped inside with slow ponderous meaningless way of playing football.
The damage is considerable
Uncomfortable for some to swallow but
Grimes is the huge problem as he is seen as irreplaceable when really he should be the first to be.
We have become brainwashed and conditioned to accept his grotesque slow sideways backwards no shooting way of playing football.
Wood frankly cannot seriously be worth 1 million sterling . He commands nothing .
Cabango ,I’m sorry,has been ruined by Martin .
Darling is possibly as bad a buy as Fishy
It’s not a case of not moving on either Lifey ,more a case of pointing out a manager completely trashing players and lauding others ,who now are seen for what they are . Crap.

We are far too slow, may as well just point to where they are about to pass to make it even easier, i see good things but not often enough
That big Ukraine is going to be amazing for us this season, i just have that feeling, heard it here first, an absolute baller watch and see |  | | |

Thought we were decent today, and unlucky to lose. Not easy when your main striker is sold in the days before the match. Definitely something to build on, and lots of room for improvement too |  | | |

Yes. Same again next week and I’m writing it off as a consolidation/transition season. | | | |

Same here, all these managers trying to be clever, 442, 451 or 433 pls, proper wingers who can take a man on or effectively move you 50yds up the field. | | | |

I agree, they didn't up their game we coasted too long and duff didn't change it early enough.

Yes, agianst Northampton he looked like a decent prospect, some good signs today, he is a bit of a hot head so expect a few cards! |  |

I like hotheads, his markers are going to be waking up the day after and the day after very sore. | | | |

We've got 3 centre halves who struggle to progress with the ball at feet, a rightback playing on the left and 2 sitting midfielders in Grimes and Fulton. In effect we've got 7 defensively minded players on the park. Useless. | |

Must have been easy before we sold our main striker then.  | | | |

Letting in easy goals and creating very little not a good combination.
Early days but the signs are not good at all. | |

Heard 2 callers on call Rob both slamming Nathan Wood, that's pretty unfair to be honest, thought he did okay and certainly no worse than Ben or Harry D, easy target because he's unsettled. | | | |

I know. We just seem to have them too often! This would be our third or fourth since relegation.
I thought Duff would do well. He’s proving me wrong so far. | | | |
