Just got in and my boy told me the score. Thought it was a joke. We need to be winning these games if we want automatic. Can’t do play offs again!!!!!
 
If we don’t change formation then Winchester needs to replace Neil, Hume at RB and Pritchard on for Embo.

I don’t see any sort of tactical instructions in this game other than wanting to ‘ play ‘ it out from the back, other than Stewart running around up front there’s no movement at all from the attacking players.
 
Hard to see how we turn this around. We're second to most balls, very little ball control when we have it, and losing most challenges.

Some decent stuff going forward, not enough cutting edge. Absolutely horrific at the back.

We can’t play with a four, but Cirkin isn’t a wing back.

Can’t see us going up this season because this sort of performance happens too often.

Sorry mate we've nothing going forward, zero threat going forward

Because he thinks he’s a clever ****. It’s no wonder that our best run of results came when the f***ing idiot was forced to play a settled side and formation around Xmas because of all the injuries we had.

Stumbled on something and I thought he'd recognised the issues. But then Winchester went back to right back and even played right centre half, then he changed the formation and we go back to the same weak as piss football against sides getting at us physically up the pitch.

Gooch and Dejaku wingback didn't allow that as they didn't dwell on the ball deep and they're more direct coming forward. Three centre halves allows Doyle to move out a bit and gives support.
Prichard supports and presses better.

The above isn't ideal, but it seemed to be more pragmatic for the level.

Manager has too many options now
 
I just can’t get my head around him changing to a back 4. We conceded 6 goals in 2 games the last time he changed it and we kept a clean sheet and controlled the game last weekend with a back 5. It makes no sense
 
Pritchard on and one of our 2 new wingers on for Embleton and Gooch. We will torment them in the second half, Bolton will get a man sent off and we will draw 2-2.
Git to give me credit for being positive.
 
formation change and 2 subs at half time. If Pritchard can only had 20 mins he needs to come on in the 70th minute. No later
