Grant should have scored.
Won’t be the last time someone says that this season.Quote:

It's a shame
But we need to get that keeper away from the gloves and sign a couple of new faces up front
Best we can hope for is that the fog closes in and the ref abandons.
Much better last 20 minutes.
With a bit of luck, we can get something from this game.
The effort is certainly there if not the application.
I’d bring on Colwill for Robinson.
Watching the replay of the pelanty shout for the foul on Meite - definitely should have been a pelanty!
I wish we could send him back to WBAQuote:

Yup!Quote:

Too many times we've said about this trio... "Should have done better there"!
It was outside the area...? but a definite foul and some sort of card..Quote:

Was it? Even more surprising it wasn’t given thenQuote:

With reference to the previous game as well, i would suggest that opposition coaches have worked out that the majority of our players cannot handle receiving the ball in close quarters with an opposing player, and just by simple squeezing our back 5 are effectively nullifying the rest of the team who are offering no movement or options with a resultant hoof from either LB or RB to a player up field who is so isolated from a supporting player and not able to hold on to the ball for our midfield players to catch up with play, the saints players often with more room are able to receive and pass in one movement without having to trap the ball take a step then having to look around for an option (3 movements) i see modern football as pace, receive pass move, receive pass move repeat to fade we are seemingly playing 5 metre balls back and forth across the back 4, with players retreating all the time to receive the ball thus conceding 75% of the field make it simple for the Saints to sweep up when an isolated player receives a long ball, If we are allowed to bully an opposition who stand off us then we look decent but as soon as the opposition fronts up in the face their doesn't seem an option to swicth things up.
Didn't want to start a new thread for this but my god:

What a bloody wasted corner....
Definitely give the keeper back.Quote:

Like you said, Meite and Ugbo can go and I wouldn't be sorry to lose Robinson. I might be tempted to keep Etete for another season.
We also need some stiffening up in midfield anf full back cover.
Yes, I love a 53rd minute Colwill sub. Gives him some time to try stuff. Otherwise it's the same blunt "attack" after blunt "attack".
Do not understand why Meite is first choice. He offers nothing.
Bowler flatters to deceive.
He and Robbo off it today.
He’s great when he’s on it but it’s not often enough.Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

Preston? Although Grant did end up scoring.Quote:

Well I just went up the shops and got some provisions and come back and it seems feck all positive has happened which I can't say is surprising. The most exciting thing is the fog!
Was horrified when some suggested we missed Grant on Tuesday. That said everything.Quote:

I knwo they are at home but have to say they seem one of the best teams we have played...way better than WBA....maybe Leeds/Leicester better.
Bit late to bring on Ralls.....for Siopis(?)...know he hasn't been outstanding...but should be for Wintle....Etete should be on sooner......
Collins not be great today...from memory maybe should have got closer to his man for both goals...instead of standing off?
Yep! Does my head in when we stand off from them inside our own box. Literally rolling out the red carpet for them.Quote:
