Doyle’s history suggests a limited player but one that scores goals by the hatful at this level and the one above. He’s a box player pouncing on breaks and rebounds and lapping up through balls and crosses in and around the six yard box. He comes here, however, and we seem to think he can play behind the front two, as a lone forward and/ or as a target man. We need to see Doyle given a run with simple instructions that suit his game; basically as a sophisticated version of the school yard Johnny liner. Then we can all dismiss him as shite with a clear conscience. Similarly with Reeves. A defensive, sitting midfielder his whole career and we decide he’s better suited as an attacking, breaking, box-to-box midfielder that he’s never been in his whole life. It’s no wonder the lad’s got depression. Sold a dream, shifted to the grim North and had his work and passion ruined by this career graveyard of a club and the ‘experts’ we attract. It’s not good enough any more. Incidentally, even with depression he’d walk into that midfield. Akpan and Anderson need a serious fucking if they lack pride and a P45 if they lack ability. I’ve no time for deadweight cunts sucking the life out of us any more. That bottom line is telling because its how i feel right now. I watched Preston tonight, a small but well run club, establishing itself as a championship club and a very good tactically astute manager. They have a good squad of players that played a decent brand of football tonight, albeit against the football league version of the dog and duck second eleven. I'd heard Bowyer using Preston as some sort of yardstick to aim for as an example of where we want to be in the future. Fuck off. We are light years away from being any where near that. We are a club with no fucking structure whatsoever, a squad made up of mainly over rated, over paid league 2 shitkickers, a player whom hasn't played for what seems like a decade, another likely to never play for us again, a manager bashing the fuck out of square pegs in the misconception that they will definitely fit in those round holes. I admit, i got carried away with the pre season hype, the nice guy eddie routine, the calm 'he cares about us' demeanour. And yet so far, 3 games on the bounce i've had the life squeezed out of me by a manager trying to prove a point. 3 fucking games in and we are questioning, with some fairness, what the fuck BowyerS is actually doing. Really not sure i can take a season of this. U ok hun? DM me xx

you do realise he's been here for 5 months now don't you? He's tactically retarded or he's doing it on purpose to get more money. Either way he's a cunt Last season was always going to be a tactical fuck up. Did you see the squad? No wingers, Doyle desperately needing a strike partner but only having Miller for company, Akpan and Wright as midfield options, big names such as Payne and Butterfield not pulling their weight etc. He deserves the flack for his odd decisions this season but it's not like he's done it 10 games on the trot. The first game was bound to be partly experimental, his one mistake so far was persisting with it vs Grimsby. Do it again vs Oldham and I'm 100% with you. Longirdge at LB, not playing Doyle in the hole and starting Scannell are the obvious changes he needs to make. My point is he's had 5 months planning for this, he's re signed shit like Anderson and not signed players to suit his formation. And again he wasted 2 full pre season games playing fucking trialist rather than getting players trained into this formation. He's got about as much football brain as Park Bantam

I know you’re upset and all that, it was a poor performance, but fairs fair, it’s below the belt is that, you should apologise. Park’s showing far more intelligence at the moment.

He's got about as much football brain as Park Bantam Decisions to resign Anderson, Colville and Devine make a mockery of the notion that the so called pro's have much superior footballing intelligence to the rest of us. I think Bowyer wants to play a particular way but is hampered by the slight inconvenience that he still has half a fucking midfield to sign. His options atm aren't great so I'll forgive the odd experiment/blunder (however you want to look at it) but there are no excuses next game. I've seen most of the Cambridge and Grimsby games to know that Henley isn't a Left Back and Doyle should never be playing behind a front 2. Persist with it and fail to win and I can see the #bantamsfamily exploding. There are already folk calling for Bowyer's head and the seasons barely started.

If he doesn't get 2 midfielders and a winger in at least he can fuck off for me. He's wasted valuable wages on dog shit and the likes of Akpan should be cast away from the squad to force him out. Like I said before he's either playing a game to force rupps hand or he's tactically retarded. We will find out after the window closes

I think the speed at which people are snapping is down to a combination of sitting through last season and the sheer obviousness of Bowyers’ tactical errors. It’s early doors to Bowyer but to us it’s a continuation of shit that’s gone on far too long already.

I think a lot had blanked out last season in the hope it would be forgotten about but it still lingers like a bad smell. There was no team spirit there at all last night, typified by O'Connor shouting at an out of position Tyler Young to hold his position. As Jizzle alluded to Bowyer wasted games in pre season playing the same dross and trialists, to a point where lasts night game was merely treat as a friendly outing to give certain players game time. It still feels so much like last season at the moment yet Bowyer has been here long enough now not to do things like play Doyle upfront on his own. Its killing the fans before they even get in the ground. If he doesn't bring new blood in this could get messy very quickly.

Absolutely nothing changes for me. Bring in 2 quality midfielders and we'll be alright. Don't and it's going to be a long season. Getting thrashed by Championship opposition is not exactly shock of the century. Yes, we were pretty much top of the league 2 shitness tree last night. Look at the number of shocks produced by league 2 teams. We can’t even make a game of it, at home, in the cup vs PNE? Is that the level now? No idea what Bowyers motivation was picking that 11.

It's not even that hard. Even with our budget/shite carry over.
442. Hard bastrd and a passer in midfield. Two wingers. Bit of nous and pace up front. Couple of fat bastards who eat crosses and long balls for breakfast at the back.
We're now potless. So dont sign Henley sign a fucking winger. Dont sign up Anderson and Colville, just sign an experienced hard bastard.
We need 3, minimum. But even just a twat in midfield and frustrating but pacey left winger like a Kyel Reid would make a huge difference.

A couple of years ago we were playing Preston in the league and giving them a game. Now look at us. The difference in professionalism in the two teams last night was light years apart to a point where we are now wishing we had Kyel Reid and some twats in midfield. A full season with the likes of Akpan and Anderson in midfield, at what point can we actually claim to have hit rock bottom?

Early days but I said it last season, don’t get off it a good start and don’t get rid of all the shite and rock bottom might be some time away

Like how we carried the post christmas 2017 Edin rot into the 2018/19 sesson. If Bowyer carries some of that playing rot from last season well into this one he's fucking himself. And especially for us as we know how desperate we are to get out of L2 after last time and points dropped even now are just the same as at the end of the season.

Get all 3 banished to the kids and tell them after their contracts end nobody will even remember they exist for next season so either fuck off and save your careers or enjoy your last 9 months as pro footballers getting unfit. 9 times out of 10 they will fuck off either way we're in no worse position. The 3 that he re-signed is testament to Bowyer and his ability as a manager and he must be accountable for these piss poor decisions. It's about time this club manned up and stopped acting like a small time club. I've never known a club who is such a bunch of fucking pussies

I posted halfway through last season that the squad we had in league when we nearly went down was better than last years. It may still be, certainly in midfield. Dave Syers, Ricky Ravehill, Lee Bullock, Kyel Reid. They’d all get in our side now.

I made the wrong decision to go last night. I actually thought we might put a performance in....,,,but no Bowyer decided to throw the game. I was literally shocked to see the team sheet!!! I nearly went home there and then but no I decided to blow more money on watching last seasons failures. This is really simple we either buy loan or whatever 3/4 midfielders and another striker or who the hells knows what will happen, but I am guessing we will be scratching around st the bottom of the division.
Bowyer is either a very clever negotiator or he talks a good game, but unless he starts to pick a team where each player is playing in their preferred position and a system they all understand. This could go ting tong before September!!!
