Owen Dale gone off injured for Crewe. Unlucky for the lad it might stop him getting his move.
That’s the risk all these sides are taking by holding out for big fees. Feel sorry for the player if it does hinder him although it wasn’t a problem for Doughty.
Some people must watch with shit in their eyes. Everything good we’ve done has involved Morgan. To blame him solely for the goal when he was the 80 yards from our goal when he lost the ball is ridiculous.
He’s been singled out now though so we can look forward to a season of every tiny mistake being lept on by the usual suspects. I wish some of you would just bore off.
Morgan is getting involved in so much play, sure he's going to make more mistakes as a result but he's nowhere near as bad as some are making out.
They're ignoring any and all good in his play.
He's not good enough to be a starting AM in a Play-off League One side.
That's my only point. If you disagree feel free to praise every simple pass he makes in the second half like you have in the first.
You mean like where I called out the poor freekick?
His passes that have worked out have been brilliant balls so I will call them as such.
He made a mistake on the edge of their 18 yard box after being given the ball with a player either side of him, for the team to not get players back there was as poor as losing it there.
For the keeper to palm it straight to their man for both goals is inexcusable. Amos would have been lambasted for those two saves.
On replay of the first goal, I think Matthews dived there to try for a free kick rather than having to get back. If he gets back he has a higher chance of doing something there.
For the second goal Albie gets back between Clare and Inniss, not great that he didn't continue to follow the run, but the choice by Inniss to flick it with his right was worse. Left peg clearance and it goes out of play, right foot puts it on a plate.
There's team things going wrong, it seems Albie gets the blame every time.

In our title winning season we had the likes of Hollands, Stephens, Jacko to call on. Top midfielders at league one level - and it was obvious from the second we signed the first two that they were the level we needed to go up.
If we are gonna do anything I think we need to see more from the likes of Dobson and Clare.
At the match. 1st half I thought Morgan does what he does ( not good enough) Clare looks anonymous. Desperately need a few decent signings if we are going to achieve anything this season.
I have big concerns with our midfield 3, I think they are really average L1 players
I really don't think Dobson is very good. I think there's a player in Clare but maybe being optimistic. I like Morgan but I think he would be better playing deeper role.

How many games does he get to show us what he’s got………. On top of all the other shit games he’s had?. As they say the game is about levels, he’s currently playing at a level above his ability.
Don't think Morgan's a bad player but he's not ready for the number 10 shirt.
Morgan is not good enough - his passing is poor, his dribbling is non existent, he lacks judgement, he cannot tackle, he is unable to take corners or free kicks and he does not score. Yes, he runs about and shows effort and passion, but in terms of quality? Absolutely no way.
I rate Albie.
9/10 for effort 4/10 for quality
If Adkins can turn Albie into a real player, I will be amazed. We also need to get shot of Watson, who is even worse. The club have had months to sort this out and we are now with a much weaker squad than last season.
At the match...midfield is poor and both their goals came from break aways. No defending as both efforts were blocked and scored from the rebound. We dont look like scoring best chance was to Washington at 0-0...he should have scored.

I really thought we were padding out the squad when we went for Dobson and Clare. Nothing about their CVs screamed out league one promotion midfielder.
We can laugh at Ipswich all we want but we should have gone all out for players of the likes of Fraser, Harper etc.
Wonder what Kirk is thinking watching this game. Myself i feel we are unlucky to be behind, and have confidence we will get back into it second half........Golfie on the cards anybody
I'm watching the Oxford stream and their commentators drooling over Morgan saying they need to stop him getting the ball as he's our most dangerous threat. He's hit four corners bang on the money. All about opinions.
Margan's been criticised a lot but he's seen a lot of the ball and has been involved in most of our attacking play. He never hides but I agree he shouldn't be our first choice there.
Will Washington take up that position when Kirk starts?
Clare, on the other hand, hardly seems to have touched the ball.

To be fair Scott Fraser doesnt exactly scream top League One player either based on his previous experiences - We saw one game, how did he do for the rest?
Not to mention he hasn't played higher than this level in England with three average mid-table finishes...

*well aware it's only 2 and a half games and I fully hope he comes good.

But I really hope I am wrong!!

These three need to work better together as that's the missing link at the moment, the connection isn't there fully between the three.

All about opinions.
