1. A wet Tuesday in Alfreton, 315 hardy gashesds sheltering under the tiny stands to witness how far we have fallen.
2. The first half was a non event the only excitement came from a turn and shot from Jamie White.
3. Second half started the same then Brunt was through on goal and fell over. Harrison replaced him and Della Verde came on soon after and we started to exert some proper pressure. Sadly no one could take any of the chances and our whole sorry attacking threat was encapsulated with Parkes tame shot straight at the keeper when he looked certain to score.
4. Very little positives to take from the game against one of the poorest teams we will play. Della Verde is a definite class act compared to everything else out there and creates chances not that anyone is capable of taking them.
5. We need investment in this team fast, we cannot expect to achieve anything with players such as Martin and Leadbitter who lack even the basic ball control skills and no striker worthy of the name. If something doesn't change at the very top then we might be coming to grounds like Alfreton for many years to come.

Sounds like we really should have won this game going by your report, stats and text commentary. Frustrating that our chances are falling to players like Parkes and Lee Brown, who should be commended for having the hunger to get in the right areas to score but it is not their day job. Our strikers seem too scared of missing to sniff out an opportunity at the moment. I don't mind if they miss a few chances as long as they are giving themselves a chance to score, which was happening earlier in the season but the confidence has gone now. We need a predator up front to inject a bit of spark.

Pace and Power up front for me - someone who makes a goal out of nothing like Agogo or Roberts and like what Akinde is doing at Barnet.....

Well, this has to be the deepest depths we have reached. I don't think we would have scored if we were still playing now. I'm even starting to doubt Mildenhall big time. Why does he insist in punching the ball straight out in front of the goal? Didn't he learn anything from the Forest Green game?
Why did we start with both Taylor and White in the side, when they have scored one goal from open play between them in the previous 18 league games?
The team that should have started was the one that finished at Tranmere.

.......But at least he listened to all the experts on Forums and Social media's advice and picked White.
