    It’s Not The Players, It’s The Manager.

    I'm sure he does though. This notion that he doesn't is bizarre. Guardiola couldn't coach Beesley and Lavery to be good strikers cos they just arent. He couldn't coach mistakes on the ball out of Marv cos that's the level he is. Where I will totally agree is if Critch doesn't rectify it in the...

    It’s Not The Players, It’s The Manager.

    It's clearly both. Critchley has been guilty but then equally what can he do about our shite strikers missing golden opportunities all season. What can he do about Marv today just walking away from his man in the box giving them a clear chance which fortunately they missed but through the season...

    Not a great performance, strikers unbelievably sh1t again, defence nearly cost us again but in poor conditions a wins a win. Manager needs to recruit well in the summer but I wouldn't agree that he's holding us back. I'd say the players are just as or more guilty of that.

    I'll defend CJ. He has had 3 or 4 good games for us out of his 140 odd appearances. 🤣

    Not really created all that much and what good chances we have created we have missed them as per. That's why we are where we are.

    I'd have gone with Gabriel for CJ definitely but is what it is. Just need a win

    Last 10 Games

    I think it's a failure to be ruthless that has cost us. That's a striker issue and to a lesser degree a midfield issue regards creativity. Most games we have lost or drew we have created enough to win but not took our chances. As for our recent dull performances, it's all about results the next...

    Lavery’s Pen

    He usually tries to do a crappy back heel pass in front of goal so I was surprised he actually shot but not surprised he missed. In fairness it was an OK pen, not great but not poor and a decent save. I didn't expect him to take it though.

    Lavery

    1st half he was poor but he did okay 2nd half. It was effort more so than ability that made him look decent but I'll take the effort. I'd be letting him go at the end of the season though as I think we need better.

    Great Game but ….

    I thought we did enough to win just but at times Fleetwood passed it around us quite nicely which was worrying. Byers was the best we had and Coulson looked to be positive on the ball and got forward. There's not much more to say really, we are just not very good. It looked like 2 poor teams...

    Ben Heneghan on Tues Night

    I'd go Joseph through the middle, Dembele off the left and CJ off the right. I'm really not a fan of CJ but I don't think I can bear to see Lavery, Beesley or Kouassi again. CJ at least has pace and if his defensive duties are minimised maybe we can exploit his only attribute higher up the...

    Alex Hartridge : Exeter

    I've not seen him play myself but I'm more bothered about the player than the fee. I think we need 4 or 5 very good players whether that's free or club records is irrelevant. We just need quality in the door and if it's at the back we are recruiting then a ball player would be nice too.

    Norburn yes or no

    If Norburn was still at Peterborough then I'd imagine he would still be playing really well. The way I view it is that Norburn and a lot of our midfield to be fair get the ball and have very little ahead of them in terms of movement or players wanting the ball. As a result we go sideways and...

    CJ Hamilton

    Should never have gotten a new 4 Yr contract. An extremely limited player. Sure he can have his uses but for me it's off the bench in very certain situations. If we can get shot in the summer we really should.
