You take Crankshaw and Cooke out of this team and we're fighting relegation again. And judging by Cookes body language in the 2nd half he's fed up and it wouldn't surprise me to see him off in January. Crankshaw isn't in the team you daft cunt. You mean Vernham don't you.. No idea how that happened

hobbes , we’re on Evans watch. He was fucking wank. Again. Dreadful all match but worth mentioning he got the assist for the Vernam goal. Possible if we hadn't been mugged off with Evans we would have lost. Dire reading

'Creating chances' is such an ambiguous phrase.
We missed the target lfor a lot of them, and fair few others were far from convincing i.e. some pea rollers at goal.
The keeper wasn't exactly busy.

That was fucking embarrassing today, coaching team and players ought to be fucking ashamed of themselves.
Barrow, Barrow, cunting Barrow should have won at VP against us.
Kelleher reminds me of Luke Oliver under Peter Taylor and Evans is a washed up cunt who runs that slow he's nearly in reverse.
The football is shite and the owner doesn't give a fuck.

Anyone have the faintest clue what we were trying to achieve yesterday with that line up? Reading comments from Barrow fans they were light on players yesterday, Banks making one in at the back after a player cried off sick. Andy Cook does not fit that formation at all and contributed little if anything but that was because of the way we lined up. Take Vernam out and i can't remember us looking like scoring yet to stick with the line up throughout showed a manager who is either not seeing it or is just completely stubborn. His non selection of Songo'o Sutton and Crankshaw and 7 minutes for Robinson and Lavery reminded me of the sort of decisions i'd exect from Bowyer. His justification on the bizarre subs being that the game was in the balance and that by going 2 up top we could somehow give the impetus to Barrow, BowyerS would have been slaughtered making post comments like that.

It’s frustrating as fuck because he keeps making the same mistakes with the line up. The starkest one of the lot is Evans as it’s so glaringly obvious that he doesn’t contribute enough. Same with Gillead and the annoying thing is that we’ve got better options for both. The problem Adams has is that he can’t really alter the formation due to our shambolic recruitment. Everybody saw it coming but we’ve got one striker on the books and the rest are so dogshit he has to keep playing one up front. Short of trying Vernam as a striker I honestly don’t know what he can do. New regime, same old fuck ups.

Some guys behind me on the way out were talking about Bowyer, I had to laugh -
If he had stayed we would have gone up It was the fans that drove him out, they were to blame He was getting 1-0 wins and fans were stupid because that wasn't enough (lol at giving no context to those wins, such as own goals, penalties, very low shots / chances made
Adams is looking like another dinosaur that follows the trend of mostly unsuccessful dinosaurs we've brought in over the last 15-20 years.
We're not in crisis mode or anything yet, but the signs are repeating themselves again; not actually taking chances, stubborn team selection and use or subs, general attitude of the team on the pitch, defensive / deluded interviews.
It starting to make the Stevenage win look like a total anomaly instead of something we can repeat more regularly.

The Walsall game showed cracks in the armour but chances being created did help cover over them. Yesterday left me quite angry and frustrated, i can't see where goals are coming from and the delusion from the manager reminds me of McCall. Its groundhog day again isn't it?

Remember when Sparks was naively telling everyone that Adams was involved in our recruitment while still manager of Morecambe? If the club want to give the impression that Turnbull is responsible for this squad that’s up to them but Adams built this side. It’s on him. Yep. If we don’t go up this year we won’t next either. As for the post- match interviews I’ve stopped listening to them. It’s too early in Adams tenure to be getting annoyed at yet another deluded manager.

I think we partly have Cooper to thank for yesterday’s point. Had they had any serious intent to win they could have murdered us. Their first 10 minutes alone could have finished the job if they’d have taken their chances. As soon as they scored they reverted to Cooperball and shit-housed their way through the half. The balls put across from wide were superb, in stark contrast to ours, and their ability to run through the middle at will is very worrying. It’s staggering that changes weren’t made after Salford and the ‘tactical’ excuse for a lack of subs earlier in the game suggests we’re in for a grim ride.

Totally agree with all of that but one sentence stands out. Worse strikers than last year. And they were shit, everybody could see that but yet Turnbull and Adams aided by Rupp and Sparks have beaten it. We were apparently lucky to avoid Paul Hurst, he wanted the job but then T&S won a couple, that’s short term thinking

There are very few players in this side who are willing to thunder into a challenge. I recall Evans and Cooke shying away from challenges on multiple occasions. Similarly, Watt looks like he likes to keep his kit nice and clean. To me our players looked scared of Barrow and not up for the fight. This is a worry, we shouldn't be getting bullied at home by non leaguers. It baffles me that we courted Song'o and attracted him away from playing in a higher league only to sit on the bench and the fact that its Evans that is getting picked in the starting line up is laughable. Evans looks out of his depth at this point of his career, he's slow, never looks up and seems generally aimless in what he does. There is no spine to this team, literally and metophorically. Also, Adam's fixation with "chances" seems strange and irritating. His remarks in the interview sounded a bit patronising to me and he doesn't seem to be a character that many fans are going to be very forgiving towards with his cagey bullshit reflections on what was ultimately nowhere near good enough at home.
