Wow! That was flipping awful.

A game so drab that the only thing that could put the slightest gloss on it, is if we had managed to snatch the three points, but we copulated that up as well. To be fair to Jones, he won the penalty and was the only player from either side to look like troubling the defence. But we can't have any of that so Slade in his wisdom takes him off and brings on Hooper, a player so anonymous that i forgot he was on the pitch until he mis-controlled the ball in injury time.

I used to love football but it is getting increasingly harder and harder to enjoy. There is no guile, no craft, no crosses, no shots, no goal mouth scrambles, just two sides of extremely fit and organised players taking it in turns to hoof the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, with the odd attempt to try a bit of football, which usually lasts about three passes before possession is given away. Totally regret buying a season ticket now because the stuff on offer is garbage and the crowd is dead.

Oh, and the ref was shite. Blowing his whistle every 20 seconds it felt like.

Funny how we see games so differently. I thought Jones was utter gash and did nothing but win the penalty and then commit the biggest sin of all by not even hitting the target with it. I want ben davies to take them, jones missed in the mickey mouse cup, he was lucky in the one he took at mansfield and today has cost us the 3 points. On the game itself we were excrement they were excrement its mid table rubbish and jts going to be that way all season. Slade wants us to play the way we did in 05 with balls to the corners, footballs moved on and our players arent good enough to do it. Cheltenham on tuesday, i hate the place the team the fans, and i just know they will beat us. Happy weekend

I didn't say Jones played well but he was the only one who looked like scoring from either side. He had a chance in the first half and a good run ending with a weak shot with his left foot before the pen. He's a goalscorer and Slade took him off, the boring ar$e.

I agree with what you say Ginny but looking at us after 80 mins today and versus Lincoln I'm not convinced we are as fit as we might be.

What frustrates me the most is that we play completely "heads down"which results in the players taking completely the wrong option at the odd time we get in a decent position.

I can't see what we are trying to do at the moment to be honest.

I'll ask you this Ginny, do you think he is the same player that finished last season? For me and the ones i go with he seems to have lost a spark, very laboured- but as you say he is a goalscorer

Ben Davies is a dead ball specialist & he does not take the penalties, incredible.

He's been Sladed. He's our best player for me and his goal record is pretty impressive considering we don't create a lot.

Watching football this season at Blundell Park is soul destroying. Not one ounce of entertainment on offer.
I have never been so disinterested, dispassionate and outright bored at a football match.
Having a season ticket feels like a ball and chain this season.
The problem is it’s hard to see where any improvement will come from.

For all the doom-and-gloomers we are now becoming an established league 2 club and disappointing as it was.....we drew with a team that away record reads before today W3 D2 L1.
Let's get real.
