It is very boring watching Town at home to be fair.


Agreed and it has been for some time now. As a fan, we keep turning up and hoping things will change but we haven't got the players with the ability to break down the opposition. As soon as the first went in, it was an uphill struggle because they could just sit back and soak up the paltry attempts we made to break them down. If we get the first goal, it's a different game but we very rarely do and we don't do comebacks because we haven't got the quality. We are relying on 2 full backs to create something, as there is nothing else across the middle to stretch the opposition. We can't pull teams out of shape with all those defensive players in the side. We need players that can get behind the opposition and until we do, we will continue to struggle at home. The home form of Exeter is even worse than ours but they looked very good today and their team suits away games, much as ours does.

Where are all these good games a lot of you keep going on about. half the good results have been bad games and todays was even worse than the second half at Hartlepools. We are not all doom and gloomists but realists. We are seemingly getting worse-Bignot is trying different players in different positions to try to sort out our shockingly inadequate midfield but to no avail-the players he inherited are just not good enough and he knows it I hope and hope and hope that we are successful in getting the players he is after and hope they will be as good as the new defender.

He's pretty much right, don't know why people are having a go. We're in a good position, there's no disputing that, but that doesn't mean we're not both excrement and boring to watch at BP.

Personally I'm finding the football a lot more entertaining than last season- even when we lose.
Have you forgotten all those all those 0-0 or 0-1 results at home against Nuneaton, Guisely and the like?

At least Exeter were entertaing and their third goal was worth the entrance fee. I clapped the teams off at the end but my thoughts were that the applause were more for the opposition than ourselves.

When MB was first appointed didn't the majority of you sign a pact that you can't moan about him until the end of the season? or something along those lines?

Enough is enough!! I can't help myself any longer! Week after week I go watch town, waiting to be entertained. One game this season I have had this fulfilled (Stevenage). Other than that it's been absolutely appalling. Week in week out of non entertainment. The manager can talk the good game but for sure we can not deliver!! There's only so much people can take until the crowds will dwindle. Today's performance was up there with one of the worst, not one proper chance and certainly no prolonged pressure of any kind. The formation and tactics just don't work, especially at home where we supposed to be the team that force the game to the opposition. I like any town fan want the team and manager to do well but I also pay good money to be entertained!!! That I am definitely not being!!! And at the end of the day that is what we supposed to be!!!

Agree but the BP office this season has seen too many bad days.

I thought they where excellent all day and the experience of their manager in the way they came and played stood out. A lot of clubs should learn from them as many would have been sacking Tisdale after their start but everybody pulled together set their sights forward and held their nerve...............is there a lesson there I wonder?

On top of the team the fans where also top class and considering came in numbers considering the journey.
