The thing is we played like we have done all season ,a very good defensive display coupled with an inability to break the oppositions defense down.What was particularly disappointing was the inability of our wingers to beat their man and appalling set piece delivery.
These have been our problems all season,and even with an outstanding defense if you cannot score the goals you are not going to win enough games

Yes, the truth is, although there was no lack of effort and the lads couldn't have tried any harder, we never really looked like scoring yesterday. There was never a point where I thought "we're going to score in a minute.

Think most of us have been saying the same all season. Lost count of the amount of times we started on fire but only managed one goal, then got caught by a sucker punch or two. We are right up there in shots on goal and corners/free kicks won but the conversion rate isn't good enough. If only Hearn had stayed fit but it always seems to come down to if only's with us.

All though most of us have been saying it the problems have not been addressed the inability to deliver corners should have been addressed.Additionally our positioning at corners,most of the players congregate around the penalty spot .Someone needs to be positioned on the far edge of the box to run onto long balls.How many times have we seed corners either go straight into the goal keepers hands or over hit and go over everybodys head.These issues should have been addressed in training.

Omar Bogle for me, push the boat out for next year while we have a good relationship with manager, fans and players. Resign most of the squad and let's have a bloody good crack at it again next year.

Agree with this. I do believe we will need a small squad. Players like Parslow and Magnay are very useful as they are versatile. I said on another thread we need a left-back, two midfielders, a creator and a goal scorer, a tricky winger (slimmer, hard-working, more consistent Scott Neilson) and a natural born goal scorer.

I've also said, as much as I rate Diz, it may be time for him to move on as he looked leggy yesterday and because he's a box to box midfielder he needs legs.

Diz, a leader, a goal scorer, a true pro

About opinions isn't it - I thought Diz carried Brown yesterday who made poor pass after poor pass. We regained the midfield when Clay replaced him.

Agreed. Diz was fine and I'd certainly be offering him a new deal along with Clay. Brown? No idea what money he is on  but think we can get someone who can get forward AND strong enough to do the defensive side too.

disagree with this - we often have players looping round to get back post headers; its actually quite a successful ploy that we have. agree that we made it too easy for their keeper who wasn't having avery good day

If it meant the difference between having a smaller budget and having a budget for a serious assault on the title I would happily pay an extra say £50 for my ST this season. I know many people couldn't do that so maybe we could look at crowd funding a decent bit of extra cash where people can give what they want to or can afford?
