Oh dear, that was truly awful.
I'm struggling to think of anyone who had a half decent game. The first half was slightly better than the second but the only real chances were from Dembele and a couple of half chances from Jones but that was it, and the second half was probably the worst I've seen this season. But we still should've taken three points if not for Jones' awful penalty.
How they can award a man of the match award today baffles me.
The only positive I can find is that we've not lost and only lost once in the league in seven games.
And the referee today was truly awful.

Having a season ticket feels like a ball and chain this season.

One notable difference between us and them today was the set pieces. We still tend to chip ours into the box or hit the first man as often as not. They, on the other hand put some really dangerous deliveries into our box (which we defended pretty well, truth be told).

On reflection, it was such a poor game that both sides should be deducted the 1 point, so they both lost.  

That was anti-football.

I've missed the last two home games and, right now, I'm struggling to see why I should return (considering I've saved £36 on tickets and another £50 on petrol).

I mean, I will return, because Town is my team and I'll need a football fix before too long, but I don't really want to return if the last two games are anything to go by. I'm not prepared to spunk my money on us lumping 60 yard balls into the channels for 90 minutes.

Even when there were four goals in the match against Colchester, I remember fans saying it was still awful.

I felt nothing when Bignot was sacked. I felt nothing when Slade was appointed and now, 13 games into the season, I feel even less than nothing.

Don't want us to get relegated, obviously, but if we're just going to play long ball, squeeze the life out of games and finish 14th then, really, I'm wondering why I should give the club my money for that.

If Clifton was in the middle, or I saw a plan, or a team gelling, fighting for each other, proper team spirit - and not just a bunch of journeymen jogging around doing as little as they can to pick up enough points to be mid-table - then that might tempt me back.

We didnt play long ball for the first 45 mins today....only as the game progressed did we start to go a bit longer...the occasional channel or longer ball but in the main it was on the deck to feet....although it was neat it wasnt particularly exciting as it was slow paced.

Still can't work out the following:

Why Berrett isn't taking corners because, when he did, they were OK?
Why Ben Davies isn't taking penalties?
Why Clarke has to take the long throws, because he should be heading them on?
Why we signed Matt?
Why we signed Hooper (and a few others)?
Why we sacked Bignot and why we appointed Slade?

and finally, why did I buy a season ticket?

We looked OK in the first half - Berrett & Summerfield looked OK but Summerfield 2016/7 came out for the second half.

We will have to admit that our players aren't very good. You can't really blame them-they try their hardest so we have to look elsewhere for the reasons for our abysmal performances. Do they seem fit-to me they look knackered second halves yet we have a fitness coach. Who decides the tactics-who signed the players this summer-who picks the team-who decides which substitutes to use------No need to answer.   That was one of the most boring matches other than England that I have ever seen----I went for a wee at half time and I was the only one in there---everybody else had gone while the match was on
