Great 1st half then as per the opposing manager changes things, they took control and Hurst just stood and watched till they scored, .
Needed subs by 60 mins but nothing till Bradford get a goal back, Hurst so frustrates me.

Before the game who honestly thought we would win  ?

The players are knacked with the games we have had to play in a short time.

Remember the good times and we go again next season all nice and fresh.


We’ve blown a lead having had much the bests of the game. We had five subs to make. Surely you use them if you’re able to?

Get the point about the subs but in reality I’m not sure our bench has/had pace to create an outlet or is there anyone who could really change a game in an instant.

I think today showed why we switched to a back 3. We rely on our full/wing backs for width which makes it so easy to drag our defence out of shape when we play with a 4 and a top striker like Cook is always going to find the extra space. Glennon struggled again which reinforces my view from January that LB is an area that needs some work in the summer.

We panicked again from set pieces - I think more height in the team would help with that. We also need a midfielder who's press resistant. While I like Holohan, he is not someone who is able to relieve pressure on the team when in possession.

Our points return since the cup exit hasn't reflected the promising performances overall, which just shows that we aren't quite good enough in both boxes. Plenty to build on though.

There was a similar argument against Crawley but I don’t think it was warranted, personally I think that if we could have seen the game out with the 11 on the pitch (Khan the exception) we may have seen the game out or advanced our lead.

Today however I do think changes were needed a bit earlier. I’m a huge PH fan and very rarely critique him because my trust is implicit but today I do think a more proactive approach when they took a very obvious domination of the game might have helped. Might not but I think today I would have preferred it than not.

Poor game management second half. As usual, we needed more quality on the ball and waited far too long to make changes. Strange that the midfield control that was on the pitch on Tuesday was left on the bench Saturday.

At the end of the day, we're only a workmanlike team.

Christ reading the fishy youd think we need a new team. Only Lloyd that gets any love - but for how long? 🤣
Mind you i tend to agree. No players position is safe....


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

The call for ealier subs i.would understand if we had game changer on the bench.

Its much of a muchness at the moment we need that player with a little spark even if he can only do it for 10 to 20 minutes.
