No need to panic, we’ll have days like this. Young side plus consistency is an issue at this level generally. I think we’ll be stronger and a bit more streetwise as the season progresses.
We are on track.

Agreed. It's a pisser but these things will happen. It's a season of tweaks and adjustment for us. One full window was never going to lead to the 110 point season some of our kids were dreaming about.

How were they outrageously bad? O'Brien and Pritchard were having no impact on the game. I accept he could have made the subs earlier, but, that doesn't make them outrageously bad.

On to other things... the challenge on Gooch: in rugby, that's called a neck roll and gets you an instant 10 minutes in the bin, because it's so dangerous.

Add to that the bear hug on him which prevented him getting to the ball ahead of their defender. Blatant.

In hindsight I wish we were the sort of team where Gooch hits the deck then is demanding a red for “last man”. Everyone else does it and usually they get what they badger the ref for.

After one awful game mate aye. Overall we're much improved, been playing well and still in a good position.

Spot on. Still can't believe that there's a fair few that now expect us to win every week.

If we go up under Johnson I’m donating £100 to a charity of @AB22 Easy Tiger. We won’t, so my moneys safe. We were shite against Gillingham first half, against Crewe first quarter and that loss has been coming.

The south stand were crying for Dajaku at 50 minutes.

You expect to win every week and be worldbeaters? We're streets ahead of last 3 seasons with the squad we have. Get a grip. Who do you want as manager? LJ is far better than parkinson or grayson.
