Looking at the recent form- We’ve scored 5 goals in the last 7 league games and not won any of them. 5 goals and only 2 of those by players up top.

Bringing on Kouyate instead of Telford for Dallas tells you that Clemence doesn’t think Telford is going to score. You can’t look at it any other way.

Got to go by the end of the weekend now surely

He should have been subbed way earlier..cost us the game. Watch the highlights.....the corner comes in and Kirk stands back and watches their player have a free header.
No one attacked the ball....but he was the closest.

Don’t like digging individuals out but from the small amount of Kirk I’ve seen so far he looks very lazy. He wouldn’t have played under Wild.

Clueless in both boxes , how long are we going to put up with this madness.

Telford coming on with 3 minutes to go while he puts a winger up front with no experience for 20 minutes when we were still on top.

You all ask for an experienced goal scorer , Telford is that the record shows it our treatment of him under both managers has been poor.

The board have a decision to make tonight.

I feel the longer the game went on , he would have found another opportunity .. but he was hauled off at 70mins and we have no centre forwards on the pitch .. very strange.

Koyate should have come on, but for Mahoney who looked tired in that second half

Dallas took a heavy knock first half taken from behind that should have been a free kick and a booking. Perhaps he was feeling the effects of that.

‘Heavy knock’ haha .. look back on that and tell me again that was a heavy knock. Wasn’t even a free kick but your mate Cox said it was so it must have been

A couple of matches ago a player ran from deep to meet a cross and scored late on and I noticed that Kirk was standing looking a bit bewildered as the scorer ran past him. I didn't mention it at the time as I think it was Kirk's debut and presumably he hadn't had much time training with us. Once is misfortune but twice is carelessness?

Every game is the same. Today we played well, but are completely clueless in the final third, I actually think we could be relegated,we don’t have anyone capable of scoring. It’s incredibly pathetic and frustrating.

Impossible to disagree with any of this. Every week when the team sheet comes out I question where goals are coming from?

Bringing on Kouyate instead of Telford for Dallas is the key question mark from me. I like Kouyate-I think he’s full of energy and running but he’s still a raw young talent in his first season and without a goal in a side struggling for goals. At 0-0- surely Telford comes on with his experience to try and grab a goal, yet he leaves him, they score the inevitable late goal and he brings him on as a last throw of the dice in added time. I know we are with few options up front….

You've got to look at Spence Garner Aqua are they busting a gut to play? The injuries are beyond belief either our backroom staff are totally useless or these players are taking the [SwearFilter] out of the club and the fans !

Think its time to move to Craven Park where games finish after 80 minutes

Disgusting post by “new member” aka Jason Walker, forum standards just reached an all time low.

I thought when Clemence came & some of the signings made, plus our start to the season, I thought we'd do well this year.
Not anymore though. Surely he's on borrowed time now.

Koyate was worth a try up front with his speed against Jamie Grimes who was very slow.
Problem was he didn't know his defensive duties and watched Grimes stroll up unopposed to head the winner.
All in all the team played well though I hope the board can hold thier nerve and give SC the transfer window. Ship some dead wood and freshen up the strike force.

Us beating Port Vale 4v0 is genuinely looking one of the most bizarre results of the season; we don’t have 4 shots on target most games nowadays.
Still think there’s enough in this squad to be comfortably safe from relegation (although the board did sack Wild for not making the play offs….) but whether it’s coming from the players or the management team the mentality is just weak to keep conceding in the last 5 minutes every single bloody week
