knew we'd lose when i saw the starting line up - that is all6

Look at this league....that stadium that pitch. This is where we are unfortunately due to years of mismanagement by previous owners and we aren’t getting out of it anytime soon. Sad to say but I’ve accepted it and need to lower my expectations as it’s going to take a while to turn it around.2

I said yesterday I didn’t want Pearce anywhere near this team and I stand by that he is shocking people moan about Gunter and Pratley at centre half but we have conceded 17 goals since Pearce has come back 17 fucking goals.6

A battling draw would have been an ok result, we took a shotgun to both feet again. Lee has to be brave and stop being so loyal to those that did OK a couple of seasons ago. I really would have kept the back two that kept the door shut at the weekend the same. Half way though the season. Fingers crossed for a couple of inspiring 21 year olds and Famewo and Innis’ return in the next 2-3 weeks...0

I think its also a challenge to his players... Basically saying that each and every one of them deserve to be replaced if they keep putting in these performances / mistakes - Certainly agree with him that no one is playing with the consistency to consider their position safeCafcTeckers said:Get the feeling that bowyer would quite happily sack off most of this team and rebuild completely0 -
Unlike a Barker who is young and will make mistakes but at least learn.Charltonparklane said:That's 18 goals in 8 games with Pearce in the side regardless of who he plays with.
Deji played with Gunter who is a RB and we kept a clean sheet.
Pearce is done, his positioning is all over the shop and doesn't control situations.
Even the 2nd goal he's standing next to shinnie when he makes the mistake, standing on the touchline, he's the CH ffs.
Its not like he's young and can be taught.
Really don't understand why other teams in this league are blooding in their 17/18 Yr olds but we can't as its too risky.
Pearce is a risk every game he plays in my opinion, and that doesn't mean I don't appreciate he's been an OK player for us over the years.
As for club captain, sorry he ain't a captain3 -
Very frustrating, Deji and Pearce just cannot play together imo. Individual mistakes cost us again, we didn't really offer anything once they equalised.
If Famewo and Innis can get back fit then we might stand a chance, there is half a season left.0 -

The rest of league are going pull away soon and we spend the rest of the season wondering if we are touching distance of 6th.
But its ok, the bowyer in brigade have their win at Bristol Rovers. Good for them.1 -
He was never quick but he has lost a yard of pace since his injury.1

A bit of perspective, this team isn't good enough for top 2 and probably isn't good enough for top 6. Frustrating but feels like this may just need to be a consolidation season after the mess of the past year and a bit. Get through this season, if we're lucky scrape into the playoffs and then build a proper team2

One bit of good news from tonight:
Curbs and Browny with Scotty on Saturday's coverage!12 -
Could argue this is a Bowyer mistake tonight, given the amount of space Smodiczs had to run into each time

Is this where Bowyer needs a bit of a senior head in the background if we're suddenly so iffy defensively?

The squad is good enough, it is just it isn't confident and we need to get that back. We need Famewo back - I thought he was close. Sort out the CH positions and it will change. Deji is our third best centre half, but we don't really need to go beyond that number as it stands now.2

agim said:The Pearce witch hunt continues. Him & Deji were excellent first half and then they make a Sunday league mistake. Both at fault I'd argue Deji even more so because he's let the ball bounce first to make Pearce come over.
1st half was solid, good pressing and dealt with pretty much everything that came our way.
2nd half just shows we aren't quite good enough to beat the better 4/5 teams in the league. I feel the team is lacking character. Who's going to pull us through games like tonight? Schwartz is still miles of the pace. Aneke can't keep up with the demands of 3 games a week & I'm yet to see a really decent end product from Millar. Can't see us making the playoffs
Its not a witch hunt is evidence right in front of your eyes.
Pearce is a battler and has been a great servant for us but he is a liability, clumsy and off the pace. He always looks out of position and ends up man handling players. he got away with another not long after the second the ref gave a foul to him but it was not he was lucky.7 -

Deserved at least a draw . Pratley and JFC did well in the middle and Washington had a good game tonight . Smyth just isn't good enough for League 1 and Pearce is a shadow of his former self .1

Can't see us making the playoffsI don’t think it is a witch hunt mate. The majority of us have a great deal of affection for Pearce and the commitment he’s given us.But he’s costing goals and proving a weakness with regulatory. He got lucky when taking their player out near the halfway line and he also could have been sent off for wrestling another player down who once again had got the wrong side of him (somehow we got the free kick).
He’s repeatedly getting himself in the wrong positions and is costing us. He should never have come across for that goal, he was already marking a man himself.16 -

got to be the clear the air meeting that a number of people have suggested has occurred.2 -
I would have put Williams on for Smyth earlier.6
-
Played well up until the defensive mix up that led to their first goal. Then we looked stretched and panicky the rest of the game. The attacking substitutions didn't work as well as we might have hoped but the midfield substitutions contributed to our loss of control and failure to create chances for them. Deserved a point but let it slip away.2

Need some strikers as well, early days but I have a niggly feeling Ronnie is not the answer.MuttleyCAFC said:The squad is good enough, it is just it isn't confident and we need to get that back.

I may be a peasant for supporting Bowyer but I am glad I am not you. Gloating after your own team lost seems like you have some serious issuesnoisy_north_upper said:
Haha yes IdiotDrugs, love to see it! Someone who can clearly see how awful Bowyers management has been this season! Shocking shape and tactics.Off_it said:
By jove, I think you've nailed it there. The manager obviously sends the team out without any instructions - no instructions at all. You're a genius son, pure genius.esseffect said:

Not a chance. In fact, I think 75% of this team won't be here next season.Scoham said:
I’m not blaming injuries, I’m saying you’re overrating the squad. I wouldn’t give the likes of Oshilaja, Pearce, Pratley and Bogle new contracts, would you?J BLOCK said:
Every team has injuries, it’s no excuse.Scoham said:
Squad not that release the when they team was made up of so many squad players. Our 3rd and 4th choice centre backs, Pratley who we need replace in summer (if not possible this month), our 3rd and 4th choice strikers, Smyth a squad player at best. That’s not a promotion winning team, while Peterborough had an 11 out there that should at least make the play-offs.J BLOCK said:Another defeat. Another two goals conceded. Zero attacking threat.How many teams have better squads than us in this league?We’ve had one blip in form which saw us win 7 on the bounce. Baring that we haven’t been performing since November 2019.
That being said, this league is so so poor this year, there aren't many teams with better squads than us. We should not be where we are.3 -
