Great turnout considering the rail strike.
Safe journey home.

Quoted from Oly1987

A loss is disappointing but by all accounts was expected and we really gave it a good go from around 65 mins (just after I managed start watching). Worth noting that the 4 losses we've had in the league have been to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 10th

Worth remembering, that with the exception of Crawley, all have players on grossly inflated wages for this division…

Played well I thought but again lacking that goal scorer and / or creative midfielder

We created enough chances to win the game three times over.

I'd definitely like a creative midfield type but I don't think we lacked one today. We just lacked composure in front of goal.

I will write today off but anything less than 3 points  from the two games against Barrow +   Tranmere and I will be asking serious questions of Hurst - Tranmere are in a mess and Barrow at home , we should be competetive .

Lose those two and Hurst's race is run imo ,although I know some would find it acceptable , including our custodians probably .

Below par first 10 games points wise , need 15 points minimum in this second 10 , against all the bottom 8 included ; worrying thing is we are now one of them aswell atm.

second goal not good by rodgers must sense danger there bloody schoolboy stuff , plus strikers missing two yard sitters our luck really out sure it will change , convinced a sending off as well on eisa

We played well in patches today a draw would of been fair result we just can't finish clear cut chances.

I don’t doubt that PH will be reflecting deeply on the first 10 games: an injury cluster up front, unexpected loss of form with both left backs, Clifton and Hunt not stepping up as would have been hoped in centre mid, and perhaps most unexpected a question mark about the club captain as the only specialist centre back cover. PH’s conclusion, hopefully, is that the smaller squad hasn’t worked and whilst our best XI could compete effectively in this stronger league, the squad just isn’t good enough to make material progress on last season. It means the Jan window needs minimum - striker, LB, CB and then with a departure or 2, a 10 / creative mid.

I was expecting huge improvement in all honesty this season ,

If you look back to last season at the same point we were 6th with 18 points (I know we have played a bulk of the big hitters already )

But facts are the bottom 8  at this point last season ,  stayed pretty much the same throughout the season barring Stockport and then Gillingham who threw a load of money at it in January .

We have not got the quality of Stockport nor the finance to throw a load of cash at it in January .

I don't think we will get into a relegation scrap , but unless things turn around massively a season of over achievment  looks unlikely really doesnt it .

Started already    next window  next season etc etc.. We all know Hurst wont pay the going rate for a striker end of. Almost 1 mill wasted on what has made us worse.  

1 million
