How on earth can we even try to win this game with one shot in 45 minutes and thats not even on target, surely even Barton can see this

Need to switch to 442 or 4231 and get a striker on. We don’t have the players to be playing wingbacks and we’ll be in a relegation scrap by Christmas at this rate I reckon. Get pitman on with Nicholson alongside with a back four and we’ll do ok I think.

As soon as anyone at the back gets the ball everyone runs away. No one is looking to drop into the midfield and ask for the ball. Inviting Crawley to run at us

Big difference from Tues for me is the lack of space our forward players have to run into. Crawley are defending very deep which is closing off the space we used so well in midweek. Definitely think there is a case for Clarke to come on if we're going to persist with knocking it long. Otherwise we need to start playing through the midfield and into the front players feet. As it stands they look a lot more likely to score than we do Imagine if Crawley were a good team and not hit with injuries. BBC half time stats say they had 9 shots to our 1. That's ONE. Jesus Christ liluckily they have TN playing for them, glad he still can't score

Great crowd atmosphere welcomed the players to the the mem today. Clearly a difficult first half attack wise and we certainly need to be more creative on the ball but the good news is that our defence has looked strong. Although Crawley have created a couple of half chances, we are organised and proving difficult to break down. If we are to achieve anything this season our defensive duties will be key. A special mention for these three: Josh Grant - chasing back, working hard, playing simple balls well. Looks like he is enjoying his football. Need for attacking threat. Connor Taylor - domineering in his defensive duties, providing confidence to the players around him. Alfie Kilgour - building his confidence as half progressed. Made a number of defensive interceptions at vital times. Pleased for him. Clearly, we need to do much more going forward although we have had a few opportunities where a clinical striker would have taken advantage. Bit too much long ball for my liking. Be interesting to see how the manager manages the half time chat and second half strategy. Rovers need to change something and react in the second half. Still 0-0 and so still in this game. Football is a game of two halves say some commentators. We didn’t win first half but all to play with. 😂😂😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭🤭 Any real need for that when you seem to be relying upon the BBC for your updates?

We've got to stop bypassing midfield. We've got more of a chance getting the ball down and running at their defence.
Looks like Leon Clarke may be coming on.

Can anyone help… I’ve been on ticketmaster website but can’t find where I buy my ticket for Joeys public flogging after the game. Is it maybe included in the match day ticket?

We are so lucky that they've missed their chances. How did Nichols miss that header?
They've been the better side by far. Making us look bad defensively as being given so much space and time down their wings. At one point, we were literally hanging on to the 0-0.
We look devoid of idea's going forward. A lot of long balls, some good and some bad. No end product at the moment. JB has got this wrong so far. Needs changes with subs and tactics asap otherwise we will lose this.

P?!s poor I’m afraid. Take Saunders off put Nicholson on the left and put one of the old Zimmer frame boys in the centre. Midfield, what midfield? Not sure what’s going on there. Oh well 45 to go you never know. Barton listened 😭
