At the game anyone that says we are a better team without TC needs a head wobble

Our attacking threat is a joke

Table, at half time...

Painful watch but used to that. Dykes is ineffective. Leaburn on for him. It's stifling Godden having such a poor target man up top. Carey also completely ineffective. I will happily take a draw but God we do lack quality.

Stig

It's lucky that they can't shoot and regularly put the ball out of play for no good reason. If we were playing a good team it would be all over by now.

They might have had 70% possession but they’ve done almost nothing with it. They’ve had 2 shots to our 7. They’ve had 24 final third entries to our 33.

I had it down as 68%???

Literally most people are whinging about how shit we are like they expect us to roll them over easily, non realistic drama queens!!😂

Hopefully Jones does wait for us to go a goal down before making changes at 70 minutes

Doesn’t

Dreadful and I mean dreadful. No pace, no width and Dykes should be going to the World Cup I've skating instead.

Do some players know they're not going to be here next season as it sure looks like it.

I expected a bit of fight... At least Godden looks up for it but the rest awful.

Really poor. They look far more expansive and creative than we do, we look like a side that would rather be playing away at a top side and using that as an excuse for not needing to go near the ball and hoping we turn a long throw in. We've set out a stodgy team so the one positive is we still have TC, Fevrier, JRC and Knibbs who could come on and potentially do something interesting. This Weds team are relatively young, best we can hope for is they tire as the game goes on and we don't. Maybe Kelman will get on and poach one but other than that I'm troubled.

 If we were playing a shit team it would be all over by now ….
It’s so bad both teams should end up with no points from the fixture and the match just recorded as a loss for both sides 

Return of the SE7

They're outplaying us and we can't string a pass together. Get Burke off, Chambers drop back. Bring on ball players Campbell, Fev and Costello and get Carey and Doc off and replace Dykes with Kelman.

70% possession for a team who have won 1 game says it all

I really hope Jones moves away from the 3-5-2 next year.

This game was never going to be a walkover, why is everyone talking like we should have smashed them already? Particularly how we’ve been playing lately.

Don’t think anyone thought we’d smash them but would expect to have created more chances and opportunities against bottom of the league when we need one more win.

Why? It’s not PlayStation football, teams actually try to compete even if not so good. That’s peoples problem, expectancy

Shouldn't we expect our team to compete as well. From the sound of it that is the issue,not that we expect us to smash them.

Redvalleyeast

Well,the only consolation is that we cant play that badly again 2nd half,can we?

Have you no standards man??!

I'd rather we resigned from the league if we are going to play like this. 

killerandflash

Very poor first half performance, no creativity of course, but we seem so open when they run at us.

I think TC when he comes on will make a big difference. Especially against tired legs.

ForeverAddickted

I mean is it wise to be more expansive and creative with this particular team? - We've been more attacking as a home team of late and its hurt us, Preston counter-attacking us for the winner last weekend for example...

It’s absolute dogshit - thankfully my steam is beginning to buffer

As much as I absolutely I agree with you I just can't see it. 

fenlandaddick

Godden, Jones , bell and for me Chambers only players coming out of that half with any respect.

Perhaps Clarke and for only his throwing, his defending has been poor.

sack the rest of them, shouldn't have the shirt on

It's going how I hoped it wouldn't. Big second half needed, I would be surprised if we went on to win from here. Please prove me wrong!

Chunes

I've had root canals that were more enjoyable than that first half. 

Scoham

TC to come on and have his “Sordell” moment, bagging a hat trick at Hillsborough

Beckboy

No excuse for not being able to pass a f-ing football

It’s 0-0, with 45 to go, I’ll hold my judgement until it’s finished, it’s not like we haven’t been shit in the 1st half and been better in the second half for most of the season, or are we glossing over that fact.
