    It’s like a knife through butter at the back no pace between any of the three oil tankers.

    But don't they pick the players and choose the signings (eg Swindon rejects)!

    Probably Garner was the cheapest option!




    Laughable if you think Garner was happy with this squad come the first day of the season. 

    His Swindon players would have been squad fillers, not starters. 
    Garner isn’t the problem IMO but he knew what he was getting himself into when he joined .  
    Thomas has a record for making promises that he cannot keep. 
    Never mind, we will be in the Premier league in a couple of years, we were assured 
    At least off the pitch we're Premier ready ........................

    JFC won’t get a start. . .means his wages increase and they don’t want to pay the uplift. Is Thomas there today? Could Garner be done with a loss?

    We've got an opportunity here after we won a free kick that should never have been. Ball well put of play before the FK incident.

    Free kick in a good position.

    Will take this FK - Payne's initial ball looked as though it went well out for a throw

    Meh should have known nothing would come of it

    No shots in half an hour, at home, in the 3rd division.

    I already miss the days of Lee and Leko up front...

    Yeah.... Didn't even need an update on that really. 
  • Another awful free kick by Payne, or the rest of the team keep running to the wrong place

    He can't be let off our defensive failings 
    The only defender he's been allowed to sign is a blackbox signing from a relegation League Two side and a free transfer no-one else wanted. 

    What chance does he have?

    Payne with an overhit free kick, then after a scramble a soft floated cross that was easier to clear.

    So he gets a completely free ride?

    What are the tactics today? What are we trying to do to score a goal?

    Opposition managers do not need to Inspire their team, just show the players our previous games

    Egbo somehow managed to squeeze a good ball in the box, touched away by keeper into the path of... Oxford. 
  • Dear god we cant even capitalise when Oxford shite themselves
  • More good work by Egbo, but nobody quite able to reach the cross

    I'd have probably put Terrell Thomas in the LCB position. At least we'd have pace at the back.

    You can organise your side to be solid. The likes of Accrington are full of L2 players

    Great ball by egbo Stockley so far of the pace it's an embarrassment. We only look dangerous when Leaburn on the pitch

    Everyone looked like they were running on the spot as they tried to catch up with Egbo ahead of that cross

    O'Connell breaks forward well and plays a good ball up to Sessegnon.

    Nothing comes from the attack sadly.

    Most likely. Maybe she picked the team and tactics. Woeful

    At least we're getting to see all-out attacking football and bags of goals this season

    I would look at the bigger picture and say that sacking Garner does nothing to our relegation quality squad. 

    Sure he's having a bad time clearly he's demotivated after being given nothing to work with. The interviews are very telling recently.
