Since the substitutions, we've been well in this, much much better performance than of late. In fact Id say we were starting to get on top before half time. God knows why Taylor started Baggot? He never won a ball Saturday, got beaten everytime tonight, at fault for both goals. Don't think I've ever seen someone so tall, so poor in the air? Wasn’t he at Cheltenham ? Think he struggled there as well |

Evans probably one more foul away from a 2nd yellow. Not sure what options we have to replace him though thought he has already been booked? A 2nd yellow |

We have too many players who know they will not be part of the “summer rebuild” and out of a job, same players who look like they do not give a toss. That opening 30 minutes was a pure horror show

Taylor gets his tactics horribly wrong for the third game in a row but at least he changed it this time and it looked better after to be fair.
With three central defenders they all seem to leave it to each other as we don’t seem to have a commanding one in there when Taylor isn’t there.
Fingers crossed we can get behind them with some through balls and get at them in the 2nd half.

Barton Ball? The stuff that tends to return 60-70% possession therefore limiting the opposition time on the ball? Pass and move slick Brazilianesque skills from back to middle to back? The stuff which got us promoted and solidified as a stable 3rd tier side? Bring that back. You’re having a laugh. We were 16th in the league when he left and from what I remember playing terribly against Stevenage. Just to be clear, I'm saying bring that style of football back, not Barton, since that's a daft argument. Trying to match up against these teams is not helping us because we are small, weak, not physical, scared, second to react, confused and generally sh**. All of our players can pass and move whilst we have a few players who are particularly good at that-Evans, Thomas, Hunt, to name 3. We can't realistically beat kick and run teams by playing kick and run because that's not how our previous manager set the team up. Also, tippy tippy with an occasional dart forward is better than spooning it out of play or giving possession away over and over. Just my opinion. |

With all the injuries who can you genuinely say that Taylor could have picked?
Anyone have any injury updates?
Hopefully Vale won't be too long and if we get Finley and Ward back that will make a major difference.

Well I'm not wrong am I? I'm very rarely wrong. You’re a bell end and you’re wrong. I said before the fleetwood game that there was a small chance of making the play offs ( which there was) and I hoped the manager and players believed there was too. If the team of 2022 or 2007 hadn’t believed there’s no way they would have done it from the position that they were in in February. 3 games ago we were in the same position as then. So yes you are wrong. You’re also not respected on here by pretty much everyone and I’m certainly not wrong about that either. Bit nasty that. |

At least hold your hands up when you're wrong Socrates instead of doubling down mate. A bit like your maths the other week. |

Yeah. It was better than this. Barton didn't get sacked lol. He walked and told them to do one as he realised they are cowboys. Do you live in your own little world of delusion . He was sacked, and probably his last job in football. I actually supported him, but the writing was on the wall the last 6 months of his tenure. Perhaps you're right. Who cares 🤷♂️ |
