Absolutely gutted You could have posted something similar after the Oxford game, the big question is can Mangan take us to the next level, or does it need an outsider to come in and do that? |

As an aside. Well done to DC at Cheltenham. Really looks like he's turned it around. Pleased for him

For 95% of that game we were comfortable kept the ball well and looked dangerous, we've gifted them 2 goals and that's cost us a point at the very least. I thought Ward was excellent and up until the 2nd goal Grant had a very good game.
We aren't far off at all but you simply can't give away the 2 goals we did today at places like Derby, Cox barely made a save and we've still managed to conceded twice, hugely frustrating

Not a great shout giving my opinion so soon after watching that but if the players want AM so much then get out there and prove it!
Grant takes blame for both goals and has to improve or move on regardless of position played.
Didn't anyone in our set up think to have a word with the Crewe management to take some hints on how to compete and defeat the ex-big club let alone over two competitive games?
Not since the Ipswich game away when we lost GC after the game which seems a million years ago do we seem capable of winning against any team away from home who have had past pedigree but find themselves in our league, why is that? Seem to be doing better against the lesser clubs recently but nothing to get excited about in my opinion!
Not good enough and something has to change in our mentality to push on!

Derby 6 shots on target score 2
Rovers 3 shots on target score 1
Thats the stats that count.
If Rovers have such good players and play so well. How come we are already 12 points behind the mighty Stevenage ?
Have Stevenage out spent us ?
5 points off of 8th place.
Mid table finish on the cards.
Slight improvement on last season.
Which in the bigger picture is fine.
Does it match the owners investment...nope not yet.

To think Barton crucified Thomas for giving away a goal, earlier this season , what would he be doing to his mate Grant tonight , knocked him out??

Credit to Finley too. That tackle to prevent a goal was top drawer. |

id try to keep Martin and get rid of Marquis in January and definitely bring in JCH who has strength ,power and goalscoring ability.He puts the ball in the net when our players often fall over.

Complete and utter sh1t player. Costs us every single game. Get rid. That's a bit of an overreaction, I can't recall many games he's cost us, playing him totally out of position can hardly help. About time we found someone to replace him who can play in that position then. |

Sides who look comfortable and dangerous are winning games by 4 goals or more - a mistake or two doesn't cost them any points. What we are based on that showing is a squad with obvious weaknesses and no real plan of what to do with the ball when we have it. We know we want it and we know we want to keep it, but there were not many points in that game where any move looked like it would create a clear-cut chance to score... |

You mention Stevenage, run by a chap called Phil Wallace for the last 20 years, from non league to where they are...in a sustainable fashion. |

Yeah, iam sorry but this Mangan , Barton love affair with Grant has run its legs, was all there to see today , the man is slow , makes it worse when we got are best defender on the bench , that’s the small decisions that Mangan has to get right when he after a job , , think he got that wrong today Not one to defend Barton but every manager we've had seems to have a love in for Grant. It's bizarre. He must be fekkin awesome in training. |

Barton should never have loaned Connolly out for the season. Done well today |

I watched the game and you can argue all day long how unfortunate how close and that were not far off, I have heard it all before, its all hollow words and blind faith, then there's the likes of Stevenage! Let's cut the crap and do the business for a change or be quiet.

Fair point & I'd agree he was good today, frustrating to conceded twice though as at no point did I think we were under massive pressure. Definitely a chance missed today |
