    I finally plucked up the courage to watch the 'highlights' again and its was every bit as bad as I felt on the day.

    It's not the score that is the killer - well, it is but ... - it's the way the side imploded with little fight and no real idea of what was happening. Our squad was always thin but my real fear is that we have been found out and this could impact on the rest of the season.

     We play a defensive game and hope to catch the opponents on the occasional counter. This works when you have a back 3/4 of decent quality and are well drilled, when you lose 3 or 4 of your regular starters in those positions for a protracted period then you are in trouble. The available players are not cut out for the role,
    as shown by their lack of understanding between them.
    One serious failing in the transfer widow was not finding a serious back up for the Lloyd Jones role in defense.

    Anyone good enough to be serious back up to Jones would want to be playing week in week out
  • Still can’t understand why Kaminski wasn’t ordered to fake an injury after the 2nd goal - a tactic we’ve regularly used with NJ at the helm. Just to take the sting out of the game and swear at the players !

    It would seem three at the back was a massive mistake but we have several injuries unfortunately.
    also the Scum in the Jimmy Seed stand only knew one song about Welsh sheep shaggers how terrible disrespectful 🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎
