Wycombe were poor but didn't have to do much for the 3 points.

Just felt we lacked any real drive or ambition for the whole game except for a 10 min spell when we scored.

Hooper scored a stunner but prior to that had been a passenger. Kelly has been subbed twice at half time in a week and went off after an hour or so (?) in the other. Again passenger.

Dembele was eased off the ball all game. The word will have gone round.

Ref was atrocious but don't let that disguise how poor we were.

Collins wants a big fine. Experienced defender? That was the most naive challenge knowing he was on a yellow. A 17 year old would have managed the situation far better.

By and large Clarke, Mills did well enough and the lad from Norwich added a bit of spark as did Caldwell in fits and starts.

Deadline day this week. Hope RS has he wheeling and dealing cap on and Fenty releasing some funds otherwise it's gonna be a hell of a struggle

Worried? Too right. We are quite awful, if dembele isnt on song we have nothing at all. Hooper bit better today and a great strike for us goal, in a way was positive that we showed a bit of fight but as footballers, we are extremely poor. collins you're an idiot, what on earth was he doing?! Ref again awful but im fed up of saying that. We have problems, and if we dont sign minimum 4 before deadline day, i dont see us moving anywhere but downwards. Fans wont put up with this, its dire

We managed to get a toe hold back in the game at 2-2, which was hardly deserved.
But our two most experienced players lost that for us, both our centre halves.

What did Clarke do to get singled out?

We start every game with 10 basically. I am seeing nothing from Kelly to show he is worthy of a place in the 11.

I think it was Collins but not certain

Defence generally ok except for Collins stupid sending off. Looked like he didn't give a excrement. Whole midfield was ineffective and if Sam Kelly starts the next game, I think I'll have lost any remaining faith in Slade.

Hooper was a bit better than I anticipated and was alright with the ball at his feet, great strike for his goal.

Subs made a difference as DJ and Cardwell added some pace and skill when they came on. Osborne looked assured, at least he'll get a chance vs Crewe.

Rose and Dembele had poor games but still wanted the ball. When Clements is properly back, I really hope he gets a look in.

Mckeown isn't very good at the minute is he? He's not even trying to save most of the goals we concede. Kilip may well he his chance soon.

The annoying thing is the majority of goals against us are  from set pieces/balls into the box. Slade prides himself on organised defences and keeping it tight at the back but that just isn't happening.

Something is obviously not working and I'm praying it gets sorted because 6 goals scored in 4 games isn't too bad, but our defence needs to improve massively, especially in the air.

I thought it was one of their players from the lower findus, but didn't see much appealing from our players, must have been a foul.
