A number of our players not playing today certainly put a lot of effort into laughing and joking with each other at the back of the West stand during the second half today. Surely we're not blaming the players who didn't play??!!! For what it's worth though, Lockyer, Partington and Sinclair were at the front of the tunnel heading and kicking every ball (as the latter two have been each week). No I am not. Just wondering why no Gasheads seemed to be laughing and joking as they watched that dross. Not very professional I would say.

Thought Leadbitter had a decent first half. As a LB not a lot got past him, distinctly average (not the worst) in the second half. Also thought Ollie Clark had a decent first half and a good shot saved in the second.
What was DC on, subbing our two strikers and still playing long ball up to the the replacements? Collectively they were two foot shorter than the backs they were up against.
Thought Reilly showed flashes of promise in the short time he was on.
Generally a no hope performance similar to a L2 to conference season performance.

That's a shame Steve. I may not always agree with everything but I do enjoy reading your reports. I was particularly looking forward to understanding how Ed Upson was our second best player today! Ed Upson was fantastic in preseason but since, at home at least, he has been dire and causes more pressure on the back line than he relieves. I would be dropping him for a few games personally I said Upson was rubbish on here when we signed him. My old man is a Yeovil fan and I have been forced to watch them on many occasions when Upson was there

Worst performance I have seen since Braintree away four years ago, which ranked as my all-time low match since watching the Gas since 1968 - admittedly I only get to about 20 games a season, but today was simply dreadful (and I’m being polite). I fear that whatever troubles the club have off the pitch, alluded to on numerous other threads over recent months, is now impacting DC and the playing staff.

Most can see the perilous state we are in with mediocre players and no progress with a new stadium or training ground but some rose tinters are fooled by a new club shop and a new tent.Things badly wrong and I am beginning to really worry about the club I' ve followed since the 1950's.Yes Braintree was heartbreakingly awful.To-day offered us so little I too have joined the doubters after giving the current regime the benefit of the doubt.Crowds will drop and Mr Wael's confidentiality clause preventing him from telling us anything sums it all up.Despairing now. NB.James Clarke top bloke.

Totally share your views Steve. If things continue will be surprised if DC is here in October. Simply not good enough. i think he wants the sack,he wouldn’t get paid if he walked Sorry, but this is just nonsense. What would that do for his reputation as a manager. If he was chasing money he would have taken the Leeds job. Players look low on confidence to me. DC admitted blame, but some of the players need to stand up and be counted. If you can’t pass a ball 10 feet without kicking it out of play you shouldn’t be a professional footballer.
