Towards the end of the half we started playing shorter passes out from the back rather than long punts upfield that were won by the opposition and we looked a bit better as an attacking threat. I think that is the way to play second half, in spite of the risk.

If we were not playing such negative football he doesn’t have to pull the player back. Why are we not even having a go and we are playing at home -

What do we do in training apart from rock paper scissors

Caravan had to go ,he should have let the player go Stanway is decisive coming off his line better to keep 11 on the pitch.
Raglan is useless.
We've made a record signing who was a duffer and let go.
Signings are abysamal BAE is full of people who talk a good job luckily the minions do it for them ,is the Director of Football. from there
He should be sacked tonight.
Unfortunately the former agent won't be, as he 'found' his way onto the Board after Carlisle supposedly came looking for him.

Rolled over and had our belly's rubbed from minute one. Ten men or not we need to do more in the individual battles

Smith off. Not seen a single game he's performed in yet, there's a reason he's fallen down a league

Can understand it's difficult being down to ten men but the lacklustre approach by some is beyond shocking!
I'm begining to question the managers strength because of I was in charge, anyone who is ambling around like we all see would be in for a [SwearFilter]..

Remember, you a privileged people playing football and earning a decent wedge.. now get out, show why you deserve it cos if you don't, [SwearFilter] off

What did we do to deserve Jackson, Raglan and Walker? Useless, useless, useless.

Dont understand this tactic of having to score from a ball on the wings, get it into a striker and have a shot from the edge of the box ffs

Wishful thinking maybe but the longer this stays 0-0 the more Fleetwood may look to sit on the lead and that could work for us.

Can still be removed .I've sat around a table where when a director walked out of the room and MD said unproffessionally he is gone in front of us minnows.
Whoever gave this guy the job needs a drugs test .

Didn’t see him make one pass or tackle today and couldn’t tell you what his role is. Looks well short and not just in height. Fleetwood have the likes of Evans and Norwood coming on and we’ve got nothing there. Recruitment has to be questioned I struggle already to see any player that has been an improvement on last seasons, taking out Whitfield and Barkhuizen who is being wasted out of position.

We’ve barely laid a glove on them today and that’s worse than just losing. Why don’t we have a go at least even if we lose another goal.
