Key moment was the McCormick miss. He is terrible in front of goal. He misses they come straight down the pitch and score. No way did we deserve to lose that game. Referee booked our players for nearly every foul we did yet Gillingham got away with most of theirs. Defensive lapses cost us in the end but we had enough chances to win that game with ease. Must appoint a Manager NOW. Yes and a manager who brings a decent defensive coach with him! |

One thing was plain to see we were the better side but didn't take our chances. The defence played well in the first half but made a couple of crucial mistakes in the 2nd. Next game I would start Rodman instead of Daly and use him as an impact sub. As for Hanlan he has some superb skills but he isnt scoring, however I wouldn't drop him. So please tell me about these superb skills |

Tuesday night’s opponents Wigan 1-0 up at home to Lincoln. That’s a bit of shock so far.

Easy to say we didn’t deserve that result, 2 nil flattered them but we have to take out chances. We should have been at least 2 up at half time. Yeah, but losing two-nil and being in with a chance is a step up from losing two-nil and not getting a sniff which in turn was a step up from losing two-nil and getting massacred. Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be losing two-nil but should have won. How long do you envisage, before we’re only losing by one goal despite being the better team? Beginning of April possibly? You can see from the last two games that we do have a squad of players, capable of achieving League 1 safety. But we need a manager that can bring it out of them more consistently. For me, that’s Barton. Staying in this division will be an awful lot easier than getting back up again. Decisive action needed now. |

We’ve lost so many games since the Blackpool home fixture and still sit a few points above the relegation zone despite averaging less than a point per game over the the course of the season. |

Disappointing as i hoped and thought we would get something from the game and put a bit of a run together, however it seems we showed enough to give us belief that we can retain our league 1 status , on another note am i right in thinking that we have to travel to away games on the morning of the match ,hotel stays being off limits? if so 1.00 kick offs are not doing the away side any favours, e.g. would have to be there circa 11.30 for reasonable loosen up time, means leaving Briz 07.30 ish , getting up 06.30 m hardly good preparation, so why the early kick off? Remember in National league we tried same day travel and DC insisted we went back to overnighters as it had detrimental effect on team., of course i may be wrong in my assumption and if so SORRY!

Yeah, though, the law of averages says that sooner or later 2 or 3 of the teams will put a decent run together. |

Nicholson offered nothing when he came on and we looked a poorer team. He’s carrying an injury so can’t be too hard on him. Kilgour has made more mistakes than any of our CBs this season but some won’t criticise as “he’s one of our own.” I think when fit Ehmer definitely comes back in for either Kilgour or Harries. Sadly all four central defenders are having a poor season and/or simply not good enough for this level. Each one has a calamitous mistake in them in every game they play. It doesn't matter which of the four play the end result is the same: shocking. |

Our current form over the last 20 games will see us relegated. We have to put some results together. |

I cant see anybody will fundamentally change things in the short term, what I believe we need in place is a traditional manager with his own side kicks who has the experience preferably with some success in this division, for me that would have been Cottrell, Barton might be the man, who knows? Obvious short term criteria is to scrap to stay in this league by hook or by crook, then come the summer make the changes to playing staff as far as possible to get a better balance to the squad, I would have thought it would take a couple of windows at least to get anywhere close to a quality blend of players, but have to be honest I see quite a few in the current set up that could play a part.
The structure at the club with a TW type is in my opinion too grand for our club, yes we want to progress, but I think we are trying to run before we can walk, the current crisis probably backs that up?

a reality check? We’ve won one game in 12! Couldn’t be anymore obvious than that! We’re sh**, a total pushover With respect we were world beaters on Tuesday and the recruitment was deemed to be excellent and now today the recruitment is sh**e and we’re going down. The reality is probably somewhere in the middle imo. This is an incremental improvement on Tisdale and we’ve picked up 3 points out of 6. We’ll probably defend badly and miss easy chances more times between now and the end of the season but if we’re creating chances (which we didn’t seem to be under Tisdale) then we’re already in a better place. These players (despite what TW would have you believe ARE limited, even Guardiola wouldn’t get them playing to their potential in the time left this season so it’s hopeful in the extreme to think Barton is going to get miracles from them. ive not commented on manager, nor how good we were Tuesday! I’m saying we were sh**e today, you make your own luck in football! It can’t always be bad luck! The finishing was woeful, and if harries had played one decent long ball, with his twenty attempts, we may have had some success. If your gonna play long ball, surely give it someone who can deliver? |

I agree about getting a new manager in pdq but you seem to watch a different game to me each week. Baldwin/ Harries is hardly a defensive pairing with Kilgour in the mix. Baldwin had a decent game, Harries a good first half but less so second half, Kilgour was just poor and looked more and more disinterested as the game wore on. Hanlon didn't score of course but he had an excellent game, Jonah was the weak link today. Nicholson did nothing much when he came on but deserves a start? Over Daly? I can’t tell Baldwin and harries apart unless I can see the back of their shirts but one of them was at fault for the first and one of them was at fault for the penalty. None of our defenders have been consistently even average this season , Kilgour has probably been our best and he’s been poor compared to when he had Craig alongside. I still think playing 3 central defenders is causing most of the problems. 4231 or 442 would make things more simple and then we could play Nicholson in his more suited position. I actually think we have the centre backs to play 4 at the back but not the fullbacks. Leahy is poor defensively and better as wing back as are Tutonda and Koiki. Hare is not good enough defensively in a 4 and Williams is an improvement but still seems more suited to wingback and defensively gives his man far too much space. I think if we go to a 4 the fullbacks will cost us. |

Widdrington having a go at ref Don’t blame him That’s either pressure or his volatile ego. He won’t be so bullish tonight, bit of a reality check for him...but he can get a tune out of these players and even in defeat that has to count for something rather than possibly bringing in Barton and the players downing tools. I hope they at least give it Tuesday which should be winnable on recent post-Tisdale form. Got to laugh Barton not even through the door and if he does you claim the players will "down tools". Why do you say that? |
