  • Some of the pitch looks in a dreadful state. 
    Almost as bad a state as our defence.
  • Need to score 4 to win with this mob at the back

    After a good season until recently, I have to wonder if Jones keeps his place as we start to integrate the new signings. Slow to read the flick on, slow to close down Helm.

    Excellent finish from Mark Helm. Charlton lost out in an aerial battle in the middle of the park which meant Helm had space to advance, cuts in and curls into the bottom corner. Against the run of play but its now 15 without a clean sheet.

    23 mins of complete dominance.

    Weak defence.  

    1.0

    Didnt take long did it. 

    All change at half time.....back to 4-3-2-1 or whatever system we've been playing lately

    That was so easy. 

    Watson nowhere to be seen and Jones just backs off and invites the shot. Our defence is absolutely pony

    Ness is not a L1 player at this time.

    Need the new CBs on the pitch.

    Awful defending from Watson, who didn’t track back, Ness who over committed and Jones who didn’t show the player on the outside.

    Pub league defending.

    Ness shouldn’t be in the team. Maynard Brewer doing his swan dive. 
    Same crap different team

    I read that we look good on page 2. Jumped to page 6 and we're 1 nil down!

    If Hector was fit there'd certainly be conversations to have

      Attempt saved. Joe Hugill (Burton Albion) right footed shot from outside the box is saved.

    I didn't want to believe it, but we are genuinely in a relegation battle aren't we?


  • Worst case now, is Burton have the goal to defend, so can sit back even more than they have been

    Hector again !!

    Very competitive side but not a lot of creativity on the pitch is the thing. 
  • I didn't want to believe it, but we are genuinely in a relegation battle aren't we?


    Yep and we won’t sack the manager 
  • May scores, but offside having broken the offside trap - Terry Smith agrees with the decision on replay

    Sign as many attackers and midfielders as you like but with this defence we are going nowhere. 
    We signed 2 defenders.

    Maybe it's the manager 🤷‍♂️
