Just Back

First off, our fans have always been good but the past couple of months they’ve been off the charts, everybody there should be proud of the superb support we’ve offered recently.

First half was poor, absolutely no attacking outlet whatsoever, no width & no creativity at all. Donny were just as bad but got a goal from a good finish.

Second half more of the same and the ref decided to spice things up with some alarmingly mental decisions, it was surreal to watch just how bad they were. Both teams poor again.

Then came the game changing moment, Taylor & McAtee were absolutely shite yet again and were eventually replaced by Lloyd & Orsi. The former instantly made a difference with the first bit of hold up play we’d seen all day to force a corner and a goal. Then brilliant play from Orsi set up Clifton whose shot was laid straight onto a plate for Lloyd.

Loads to work on, it was shite for long periods today and we’ve got a rebuild on this summer at the top end of the pitch.

We were decent for the first 15 minutes, then they scored out of nothing and we looked completely clueless until the changes. Lloyd and Orsi were brilliant after coming on.

Think these last few games should be used to figure out the bones of the squad for next season. Would very much like to see more of the Orsi Lloyd partnership going forward, they seemed to work well together.

Love Taylor for what he did for us last season, will never forget his goal against Wrexham - but I think his race is run. Hurst should know what he's getting with McAtee at this point - frustratingly inconsistent, wavering between world beating and very poor. I honestly think he's better off the ball than on it. It's Hurst's call whether he wants to try and get him back on loan from Luton next season.

The back three seemed to work for us during the cup run but think we struggle to create much, so maybe the 442 that we finished the game with is the way forward until the end of the season - then re-evaluate.

Thanks McAtee for the memories last year, this year not the same player, we need to move on, we should be starting with Orsi for the last few games as he is actually our own player.

They were AMAZING. Even when not playing well and losing they NEVER stopped.

Fantastic fans 10/10. Brilliant.

The team played well for the first 10mins and the last 10. The rest was drab.
I say it alot but Lloyd is a must have for next season. You won't get many better without paying a big sum.

I enjoyed the last 11 minutes. League 2 insanity at its finest. No way was there 8600 there either.

Yep absolutely no chance were there 5500 Donny there. 4000 of them tops, I'd say. We had not far off half the attendance.

Hunt needs to be playing every single minute from now for me. We're severely lacking in creativity and we've got a player with the raw ability to rip teams apart at this level but he's a bit lightweight and lacking experience. Just throw him in now, doesn't matter if we lose. Clifton, Green and Hunt need minutes together.

6.5k at most. Another team that announce tickets sold. We’d be above both Mansfield and Donny in the average att. table if they did the same as we do.

I also think 5 at the back has served it’s time. At Luton we couldn’t even fill the bench; we’ve now 6 games left with 4 at home and almost a full squad available. Let’s be entertained please…

Good view of our goal celebrations. Absolute nailed on penalty for the follow through on Lloyd
