1-0 Stevenage. This is worrying because these are a docile side. They’re not offering much in attack, aren’t pressing and aren’t exactly getting stuck in. We’re being given free reign in terms of possession and playing it around them and we’re still both losing and not looking too likely to score.
We won’t face many teams more submissive than these this season and we’re 1-0 down.

We've been screaming for a decent striker and defender for months, one of each of those today and we'd be in front.

Our attack is going to be our downfall and it's glaringly fucking obvious.
Nevermind that our defence managed to gift them a goal, it wouldn't matter with a decent attack as we'd already be 3-0 up.
Fucking useless cunts.

Decent in possession but as per usual we're doing fuck all with it. Stevenage are like the rest we've played so far, fucking awful. That front 3 does nothing they should be embarrassed

We’re currently eighteenth. Only six pro clubs below us in the whole fucking country.

That front 3 does nothing they should be embarrassed If only it could have been predicted that we’d have lots of possession, sprinklings of play that’s easy on the eye but create precious few chances for a forward line that couldn’t score in a smackhouse. Oh, and that we’d concede calamitous goals that would shame a school side.

I’m no Clarke fan but in fairness to him his supposed strength of linking up play (which I think is vastly overrated) is redundant when he’s got such a dozy front line in front of him. We make zero runs off the ball and nobody gets in front of their defender so there’s nothing for Clarke to feed. We must be a defender’s dream.

Novak. 1-1. Clever header.
He’s still had a shocking game mind you.

Novak is shit, but there is at least something there.
What does Guthrie give? Even Brunker gave effort

Yeah, Novak is obviously limited but I think he can be at the very least, useful, provided he has somebody to make up for his limitations alongside him - at least he's a willing running even if it's at a snail's pace. Guthrie was at a new level of poor today, you reckon those bidders are still interested?

It’s a win but it’s a worrying one.
Defence wasn’t great, Cooke looks to be sitting too deep in Watt’s natural habitat and can’t break because he’ll be rubbing Clarke’s rhubarb - he looks lost. As for that fucking forward line, even despite his brace it wasn’t a good performance from Novak and Guthrie was a fucking disgrace. Quite why neither got hooked is a mystery.
On the plus side Wood and Watt played well, particularly in the first half and French looks to be growing into first team football.
Stevenage looked terrible in the first half but improved in the second. They’re a poor side and we laboured to a win. It’d be nice to think that our suspended players would have made a big difference but I’m not sure that’s true.
Better sides will bum us.

Novak's been around the block and should do double figures easily in a decent team. To be fair to Clarke he was good in that second half. My worry is the shambolic defence and lack of pace up front.

3 points and largely outplayed them. Played some good stuff especially down the flanks but my god we're atrocious in front of goal. Should have been an absolute rout against what I consider to be the worst club in the football league. Sutton by far the best player today with Clarke having a good 2nd half but cries of man of the match made by people who forgot how anonymous he was in the first half. Cooke needs to up the ante now or he's going to find himself out in the cold, lad has so much potential but seems to be in his shell at the moment.
If we can get another cb and another striker who can actually run and shoot we could be a good team but Guthrie has to be kicked out now. There's much tougher games to come than what we've played and the Bolton result has been proven to be nothing special, time for Stuart to push this team on...if He's good enough to do it.
