    Dabo is a class act ...........keeper plays like a third central defender he comes out that far.

    Hahaha Kirk belts a ball straight into McGrandles' groin, they're like a double act sketch show on football today

    Dabo & DJ subbed reckon both in the squad for Oxford, assuming Dabo signs
  • Dabo looked decent. Kirk still shite, even against u21s

    It's just like watching the first team, glad to see the entire club has the same ethos and mentality

    I think we'll struggle to get someone to take Kirk on loan, let alone permanently. Only route out I see is back to crewe for a nominal fee/on a free.

    Dabo definitely good enough for the first team. Just the obvious fitness concerns. Players fall over each other and miss an open goal as I type this lol.

    He's got what a year left to run? Would be surprised if it was anything more than a nominal fee. A signing that should have worked that has turned into an utter disaster

    Appalling miss by Rylah there. Shame.

    Bloody hell Kirk bursts through but his pass is right in the middle of Casey and Rylah, both of them go for it and get in each other’s way.

    Pass hit either softer or harder and it was probably 1-1

    Poor ball from Kirk but the 2 lads need to communicate there

    Or one of them sticks a name on it.

    Come on now, nothing wrong with that pass. It was into a space where two players were coming in and should have buried it, instead they tackle/shoot through one another skying the ball.

    I do think its hard for some players who "expect" to be playing 1st team football who are now playing in front of 100 spectators on a Monday afternoon. No problem if they are recovering from injury & need minutes in their legs but for McGrandles & Kirk they both have done a full pre-season but now resorting to players with the youngsters in an empty stadium.  Can see why they aren't throwing themselves into tackles at 100 mph.

    Fair but I ain’t gonna get down on a couple of youth players. As a senior pro, Kirk should be able to play a simple 15 yard pass though…

    Get the pass right and there’s no confusion about who’s shot it is

    He absolutely busted a gut to get there, won it from the keeper and should have had a shot. The ball was well weighted for either of them to read and they should have communicated better. It's not a problem. It's a learning opportunity for them. 

    It was the only thing Kirk did right all game, let's let him have it.

    Some lovely quick, sharp build up play there. Not sure who shot as no audio on.

    We look a lot better since Kirk went off. 

    A goal is coming

    Ladapo showing how poor Kirk is. Caning their wingback every time.  Deji scores.
