That was awful. Awful selection, awful tactics and awful substitutions. Wtf was Jolley doing putting Reece Hall-Johnson at LWB!

Lacking in quality in too many positions. We are a hoof ball side with two strikers who struggle in the air. Thought FGR were decent and had clearly spent money.

It’s early days but we are in desperate need of a striker and a couple of wingbacks.

Saw the starting line up and didnt hold out much hope......Dixon, Woolford, Welsh offer no pace ...formation/players offer no width...
Schoolboy errors all round compounded the above......
Woeful passing...zero movement...
FGR were slick, bright and inventive...we were pedestrian.

More hoofball than Slade's era.

Post edit - oh and the cuppa tea at half time was fking luke warm and awful.

That's about as bad as it gets.

Putting to one side the fact we were a total shambles, and putting aside the fact that FGR were miles better than us in every department; what i'm getting sick to the back teeth of is boring, pointless, clueless hoofball. I'm actually shocked at our tactics, so bad were they. We have not progressed at all from our first season back in the league. Meanwhile FGR are going from strength to strength, and it sickens me.

That game just knocked off at least 500, probably a 1000 fans already. Early days yet and you sometimes get strange, high scoring results at the beginning of the season, but i didn't see anything to get me thinking much has changed. Their quality was at least two notches above ours, and they played the ball out from the back, through midfield, then on to the front areas excellently. In fact, they played just how i wish we could, but haven't for a very long time. Disillusioned and running out of enthusiasm.

He should admit that he got it wrong today. Picked a team that didn't play together all pre season, chose a formation that they have yet to get down with said team. None of them knew what their role was at all and some players were in positions they don't even play.

Not glad Pete. I want to want to buy one, but at the moment, i don't. There is an all pervasive sense of mediocrity about the club.

Well I didn't see that coming!

I think MJ made some fundemental selection errors... Cook isn't a striker, Didn't even realise Woolford was playing until he came off and both wing backs struggled to get up and down which is a huge part of the 352 system. Dixon is a decent enough defender but lacks the mobility and technical ability to play wing-backs. Clifton, for all effort was poor in possession.

What on earth was Collins thinking when he played that ball.... It's defending 101 that when playing a backpass you pass it either side of the goal to stop situations just like that... This guy played in the PL for goodness sake!

We need to address the midfield, Hessenthaler was bright when he came on and offers bundle of energy but I worry about the creativity in a three of him Rose and Welsh.

IMO we desoerately need a recognised striker and a mobile LWB this week!!

The shining light for me I suppose is that this time last season we'd just beat Chesterfield 3-1 away and look how the season ended up. The first game ultimately means very little and we WILL improve and learn from today!
