Sounds madness but I’d also like to see a near identical team take to the field, show that they want to make up for Saturday and earn the right to play for this club.

Yes, apart from Scannell. Hardly raised a sweat. Ollie said he had gone through the stats for each player and some were well off what he expected.It was apparent that Taylor was much more affected by his exertions in the Wales games than 'machine' Clifton.
Last year we were punished twice for losing possession high up the pitch and not marking Nadesan. If Crawley are pressed they concede corners, throws and free kicks like us but they break quickly and in numbers.

If we were serious about a reaction and getting three points we should have stayed in a hotel for this one.

For all the talk of a rot, our recent league form reads as:

Tranmere - Defeat
Barrow - Win
Stevenage - Draw
Forest Green - Defeat
Carlisle - Draw

It's not great but it's hardly a rot.  It feels a lot worse because we had 3 consecutive cup defeats in there (2 of which I think you can completely discount due to the competition itself) and the manner of the Tranmere defeat.

I'm not downplaying it, far from it.  But take out the Papa John's games and the nature of the Tranmere defeat and we'd be WLL over our last three, probably still thinking it'll click at any moment.  

I'm hoping we're now going to see some consistency in the starting eleven and hopefully we can use the pretty dreadful weekend (on and off the field) as something to bounce back from.

We all are very upset and downhearted /embarrassed about Tranmere and rightly so , but those types of results can happen to any team, e.g. Liverpool 2-7 against Villa, Man U 1-6 V Spurs and what about Southampton - Leicester, was it 0-9 or 1-9?  I agree with other posters that the sooner we pick up points the sooner we can try to forget it.

Have you considered a job with Trump's legal team? The world needs optimists like you.

I played Sunday league for a team that got hammered week in week out by 4, 5, 6 or 7 goals.  One week we go a 0-0 draw.  It was like we'd won the cup.  I'd take a score draw. (with no gifted goals).

I’d be happy with a clean sheet to start with, stop the rot and build from there. UTMM.


A clean sheet to start with will be ok... a clean sheet to finish with will be even better

Madness comment


How is it madness? Worst thing we can do tonight is put ourselves at risk of another hammering.

Keep our shape, keep it simple and give ourselves something to build on.
