This is a terrible second half performance and I think Cox needs to change the way he appraoches games when we are still in it. Total second half collapse.

All the focus is on the league now and we need wins. He has got to go for it.

Well now we have to look for the play offs.
But Cox's team usually improve second half of the season :)

Sounded like Diarra was having a stinker at the time of switching off the radio, 3-1. But it can't be just him that's had a bad game. What frustrates me is that the bench was so positive.

We've been poor since Christmas and no momentum think we will fall short of the playoffs.

FA Trophy full times...
Boreham Wood 0-2 Lincoln
Dulwich Hamlet 2-2 Macclesfield
Tranmere 5-1 Barrow
York 1-0 Brackley (York down to 10 men)

National League full times...
Aldershot 4-0 Bromley
Braintree 0-0 Maidstone
Dover 3-0 Eastleigh
Forest Green 4-3 Woking
Guiseley 1-2 North Ferriby (Guiseley down to 10 men)
Solihull 0-1 Wrexham (Solihull down to 10 men)
Southport 0-1 Chester
Torquay 2-3 Sutton

Barrow not in league action sink to 8th in the league but have the games in hand to easily get back to 6th within a point of Dover.

For once we are on the same page Harrison was not only brilliant up front he won a lot of headers when he went back for set pieces.
Still think we need a tough centre half to go with livesey we are not aggressive enough at the back.

Still in it at half time, total embarrassment second half. On that performance, there is no chance of making the play offs, and before anyone says "it was Tranmere", yeah it was but a Tranmere who rates this competition as tinpot. Need major investment and not just the loan signings which is all we seem to make, i mean real investment to give Cox a level playing field. And, no i don't mean the FGR or Eastleigh way of buying tired ex-pros who only want a final payday but a real plan for the future. It's weird, we've never been this high in our non-league history but ( and maybe it's just me ) it's just not enjoyable. It's so [SwearFilter] fruststrating. Fantastic support from over 400 Ziggers today. COYB

No real investment over the January window has cost the season.

8 loan players in the squad at once is depressing. Especially considering we had players ready to sign but the chairman wouldn't answer his phone for 3 days.

That second half was a disgrace.

Like everything else at the club, it's half arsed. No direction from up top, either on or off the field. Thought we would lose today but not it that manner. If this if having money, then sorry, rather be skint and have that them and us attitude. Feel sorry for Paul Cox, fantastic manager at this level and i really don't know where we would find better but ffs, he needs help Mr Casson. It's over to you because looking at his statement after the game, your managers not happy.
