Why didn't he move AOC over to LB where he's played before and bring POC on to play CB? Fucking Akpan. You’re developing quite the obsession. Not a fan? No. Dogshit player.

We dug deep and got a decent 3 points but we were hanging on against an injury ravaged Stevenage side.
The central midfield is a big worry.
The back 5 (not sure about LB, should we play Wood there?) and the front 2 are more than decent but centre mid and out wide worry me.
We should be shitting all over Stevenage. Anyway 3 points are 3 points. We had to battle for em which is more than last season's cunts could've managed.

A handful that bad in over thirty years of watching City and we managed to sign two at once. It’s sobering to think just how bad our recruitment was. It literally couldn’t have been worse.

Weird performance all round. A win and some good fight but this was stevenage. Why are we being battered by stevenage (even if we did get the win).
First time I've seen them play this year.
Devine was decent tonight. Not good, let not get carried away, but he didnt look lost which is better than he has been.
Akphan is just just dogshite. He just looks like he's pissed. We must have some 17 year old we can put on who is better than him. It's just emarassi g watching him 'play'
Patrick is just not a footballer. I can see why he was brought on. He's a good athlete and quick and strong but this ain't track and that boy isnt a player.
Donaldson is clearly decent. But why we are putting our target man on the left wing I dont know. He is wasted and vaughan is isolated on his own.
Vaughan is just a top (for this level) striker. Keep him fit and feed him and he'll score.
Scanell looks decent, but looks to be carrying a bit of timber. Imagine he's some way from fitness. Good stuff if we get him there though.
Richard - Everton looks decent for this level. Just winning headers for fun.
O'cunter isnt good enough. Where is Paudie at? Hopefully it's one in one out on the o'Connors when he is fit again.
All in all I think this is going to be a painful season. Imagine a couple of injuries (let's say scans, Vaughan or donaldson). We would be fuckin relegated

What an atrocious performance in the second half. I know we're not used to winning but the game management there was shocking. Akpan made me shout at the telly. A decent team would have put 3 or 4 goals in with the free headers we gave away. The keeper's saved our skin as has the fact that they were shite at converting their chances.
Going up.

Effort, top drawer.
Quality, dog shit.
That midfield is a car crash. None of them can keep the ball. And I include Scannell in that.

Akpan was blowing out of his arse 2 mins after coming on. Overweight, unfit and fucking useless. A yard off the pace.

On a positive note, it looks like we have one of, if not the best defence in league 2. 3 clean sheets in 4 and only 1 league goal conceded all season. BRE and AOC look rock solid and arguably our best defender in POC doesn't get a look in.
Midfield looks dire which is a shame given how good our strikers are. Senior players in Scannell and Palmer aren't pulling their weight and for the most part we just look toothless. On balance we're probably a mid table team but as we keep saying every week a couple of quality midfield players will transform us.

Akpan was blowing out of his arse 2 mins after coming on. Overweight, unfit and fucking useless. A yard off the pace. He's fucking useless. Looks like he doesn't train. He came on and within a couple of minutes he collected the ball, found a tidy pass and received it again then passed it on again simply. I thought, yes! Just do that! That was the total of his contribution. Towards the end when we actually had the ball in their final third his useless control of an easy ball led to his next touch being a foul. This got them into our final third where he gave away a dogshit freekick for handball that they almost scored from. It's making me cross. Could do with one of Bacon's famous foot massages to chill me out.

It really wasn’t all that long ago he was going on a charge in The Championship and he’s not even old enough to have slid that far. Either he thinks we’re beneath him, he’s turned shit overnight or he’s another one who’s taking the piss.

That's an assist for BigJim and he generally weighs in with about 20 of them a season, directly or indirectly. ASK NAHKI WELLS ABOUT IT M8, HE MADE HIM THE PLAYER HE IS.

The positive from that second half was the tenacity shown by the defence at least, something that has been missing for quite a while now. BRE, O’Cunt and Wood were excellent for me and Wood especially showed some quality with his clearances. Mellor had a couple of brain farts late on but generally was ok.
Midfield as we have all said is a massive worry. Palmer and Devine were none existent but at least kept some form of shape. Spakpan on the other hand needs to fuck right off, I’ve never seen such a massive pussy in my life...grow some fucking bollocks FFS, he very nearly cost us again this evening.
Donaldo and Vaughan have obviously played at a higher level for most of their career, they both have some decent movement about them so should go on to bag plenty if the service is there. Service that should be provided by our lame horse of a right winger/forward...yet another woeful performance from #scanz, he has literally got nothing to his game.
Special mention to O’Donnell, he won us two points tonight with that save but also tried to command his box, he did well for us and long may it continue.

It’s sobering to think just how bad our recruitment was. It literally couldn’t have been worse. I'll always go back to the Shrewsbury away game last season, travelling down with fat Ade and asking to him to specifically watch Akpan and Wright because after watching them in pre season i hadn't a clue what the fuck they actually did. Neither of them have any sort of USP, just sauntering through games whilst doing fuck all.
