He's not shite like and Alese was equally to blame not to mention our forward players who haven't scored

He is.

 

[Get the Rave On]

Ballard is still the better centre back out of him and onien.

Get away and shite man.

I've been annoyed all week there was even debates going on who starts CB. If people can't see what O9 brings us over Ballard they need to stop watching football

Anything other than winning headers Ballard is a bombscare

 

[Onourway]

The character of the team was fantastic at the end after a demoralising second half and Ballard almost won it. Roberts battled against adversity and was brilliant in the last 10 minutes.

Not this season

 

[hank williams]

Mayenda was decent

MOTM for me

 

[eddie1987]

When are we going to get a consistent run of performances? We go from class to below par in one game.

Class is a bit of an exaggeration.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Fans have been terrible for weeks

Tonight was shockingly bad. Worst atmosphere since League One

Couldn’t disagree more tbh. It’s not just defending which 09 brings either.

 

[red mackem]

Our best player tonight

Dan Neil by a country mile

Get away and shite man.

^^^
09 straight back in with Meph for me. Also sooner Cirkin starts the better

 

[eddie1987]

The midfield look shot at the minute, bar the much-maligned Neil funnily enough. Not sure what Aleksic is going to have to do to get on the pitch. He looked canny at Millwall and if he can’t get on tonight, he may as well pack his bags

He didn't look canny at Millwall like, very much off the pace but he needs minutes.

 

[Grimes]

Load of posters reckoned we were hammering them the night pre ko

I think being top for so long has done more harm than good

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Why should he, he wants the best for SAFC, our form needs to improve if we are going to get promoted.

You think the manager should be sacked?

Not you marra, I remember your post before the match. Spot on as always.

I thought he did, looked tidy on the ball but, as you say, a bit off the pace and the only way he is going to get up to speed is by getting on games like tonight when our midfield are shot

There is no easy matches fletch mate not in this league

Wow I didn’t realise people thought this

Ok ... overall both on form the better defender is Ballard

 

[Roker Mackem]

Agree. Said a few weeks ago, there'll be a section of fans that were expecting us to run away with it. A few were just starting to get on the players backs in the second half
