Everything everyone knows writ large here: decent in defence, dangerous up front and garbage in midfield. We fix it or we’re staying down. Exactly what everyone's been saying for weeks. It does amuse me how even our thick as pig shit fans can figure out the main issues we face but the 'experts' at our club always seem need the benefit of hindsight.

Here’s how train saw it.
WE ARE TOO FUCKING SLOW. Painfully slow.
Upside we kept a clean sheet. (Largely due to Cambridge being toss)

Ate we really that short of options that we play all three strikers? This football manager game is infuriating, i could have told Bowyer before kickoff that playing Doyle behind the front two wouldn’t ever work. And anyone expecting Scannell to be a provider for the front two, can they tell me what he actually does cos i just ain’t seeing it. I know it was only 15 minutes today but he’s shown fuck all since he’s been here. Mellor gives us more threat on the right than Scannell. I said before it will be up to our front two to pull a very average midfield out of the shit and today just backed that up. Solid enough defence but never really tested. Lasting impression of the game was neither side deserves to win.

Can't find any positives at all and I'm bewildered at Bowyer saying we were excellent first half.
O' Donnell 6 ..Not much to do
Mellor 5... defended ok but with all that room and time going forward he created fuck all.
Henley 3.... great impression of Chicksen
Cunty 7... played well
Everton 7... as above but needs to learn he can tackle with his right foot
Gibson 5.. tried but he has no football intelligence
Anderson 5.5 ...as above but gets half extra for a couple of decent tackles
Palmer 5.5 ...same as Anderson but looked like he was crowded by Gibson and Anderson.
Doyle 4...poor but again out of position
Vaughan 6.. No service did well enough to do what he did though
Donaldson 5.. poor till the last 10
Bowyer 3... piss poor tactics and too late with his subs. Then had the cheek yo try and get the crowd going. Mate your footballand tactics are shit to watch since you got here, sharpen the fuck up and smartish

FOUR FOUR FUCKING TWO
Why the fuck didn’t we play that? Gibson one side, Scannel the other. Stop wasting time with Doyle.
Massively disappointing, the team lacks creativity in midfield as we all know, but leaving our most dangerous winger in Scannel on the bench till the 70th minute and playing Doyle at all is just criminal and completely Bowyers decision.
Bowyer out. Clueless cunt.

I know it's early days but Jackson Longridge looked more lightweight than Chicksen. Overall it probably wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Back four looked OK, up top Donaldson won everything and more, Vaughan was busy and a little unlucky perhaps. But we should be beating shite like Cambridge.

Turgid. We dominated the game but created fuck all. Wingers please. Doyle isn’t a target man but he ain’t a ten either. Cambridge were shite but well organised and we’ll come up against teams like that every week. We need to find a way of breaking them down and that formation today isn’t it.

We didn’t dominate that game. Fuck off. Not a chance. They were shit. We were impotent.
Fuck it. Best part of the season gone.

Hands up who wants to be left taking positives from a 0-0? *Park puts his hand up*. “It’s a clean sheet in the first game of the season- keep that up and the rest will take care of itself.” I fucking hate our fans at times.

Depressing stuff this really. Doyle, Henley and Anderson brought nothing to the party. Gibson to his credit did try to make things tick but he is a poor poor winger trying to play CM and so it's hardly surprising that he failed. I was hoping for more from Palmer, but perhaps with more able colleagues around him he'll fair better. I don't want to see that midfield 3 again and equally that front 3. I have never seen Doyle play well and I hope he fucks off before the window closes.
Did anyone notice O'Connor arguing with his CB partner and later with Donaldson (I think)? He's a cunt that lad and I would love to see him jettisoned too before end of August. The fact that he's first choice CB means that's probably not going to happen.
Vaughan looked pretty good to me and Donaldson showed some ok hold up play at times. That's about all I have got in the positives column after this let down. I can't see this team winning the league, not a prayer. We need to sign a couple more midfielders - at least one of whom who needs to be very good. Unless we can get some genuine quality then this team will go nowhere.

Time to get that fucking McBurnie money spent.

We're shit but we were way better than them. If that's your average L2 team then anything less than the title is a piss take.
Sort that shit formation and get some service to the front two and quickly.

Unless we can get some genuine quality then this team will go nowhere. Didn’t notice that argument but did see Vaughan pointing and screaming at the bench before Scannell came on. It rally really fucks me off we have a couple of decent strikers but the lack of attacking quality elsewhere coupled with Bowyers tactical ineptitude just makes us shiit FuCking helll. Bowyer you fucking idiot.
