I just do not think this system is the way to go, we need to go to a back 4 as you can see one switched ball over the top and canavan is isolated then hes forced to make a challenge or trust Stanway, midfield may aswell just not play as they're as effective as a fart in a wind tunnel and our wingers dont get the ball enough to cause issues or get crowded out with no support.... its a mess and it absolutely needs addressing, no one out there looks comfortable in their positions.

That was a very poor performance let down by Canavan. A stupid challenge no arguments it was a red
Not sure why Booty was taken off. At the time he was the only one winning the ball back.
We lacked a focal point up top until Hemmings came on. He did ok and gave Fleetwood something to think about.

We set up so negative, no structure at the club no ambition the whole set up ran by enthusiastic ammeters

It’s the little Barrow mentality we have slipped back to- we set up like we are playing Liverpool in a FA cup tie. Just have a [SwearFilter] go.

Paying good money no doubt to some good players but something is not right.

Even without the sending off we would still not have won that game we don’t have it in is - there is nothing and nobody to fear in league 2 but we set up terrified.

Don’t think we’ll go down but it’s definitely going to be one of them seasons relying on other teams being worse off than us. Don’t think there’s a player in the squad that gets us double figures in goals and the defence looks to lightweight

Agreed only reason hes getting minutes is we have no midfielders left to field as they're all bed bound....

That was awful. We showed no fight, too many players ambling round doing sod all, if people rely on Mahoney to come on and save things then we’re definitely screwed.

Was disappointed with the set up, daft sending off, Fleetwood for 70 percent of the game were in charge,we didn't look like scoring, bad day at the office I guess

Not much you can say about that, some bizarre decisions from Whing!
These injuries are taking their toll, it's shocking we've so many out, this is surely down to our backroom team we're either not preparing right, or is it the training whichever there's something drastically wrong this is the second season in succession where key player's are missing!

Bingo...will you [SwearFilter] off with the little ol' barrow shite.. please

Negativity breeds like cancer, if we all don't change the attitude we may as well just stay at home.. ffs

That ones on Whing, why he continually plays that system is beyond me. Barky is probably one of the best wingers in the league. Wasted in a shit formation. Raglan is absolutely pish
