What I can’t understand is that why do we have so many decent players but don’t win enough games.

I’m not suggesting anything in particular but it’s a mystery and an annoyance

I'm not sure what some people are expecting from the players. Do we expect them to throw their bodies on the line for an irrelevant tinpot match and crock themselves for months?

This fixture is virtually a friendly, and avoiding injuries is 100% the goal.

Training and what they’re been asked to do . They’re not enjoying playing at the minute. It’s all too predictable and ponderous

I wonder how many times we practice set pieces, and what is the rationale behind them? Very few have caused the opposition any problems.

Even allowing for it being a M. Mouse competition and all the injuries, this is yet another very hard watch. So disjointed and lacking any sort of purpose. I mean, what the hell are we actually supposed to be trying to do? And I take back what I said about Pyke being not too bad first half, he's been excrement this one!

No. Staking a claim for the first team should be the aim for 2/3rds of them. They've all done intercourse all to help themselves in that regard except maybe young Bramwell, who's done alright

I'm just curious how many goals Pyke has to score before he stops being hated.

The kids retraining as a striker and trying to find his confidence. He's played in league 1 as a wing back and clearly has talent. Got thrown in at the deep end after injuries up front. He's scored 2 in 2 games now, and still getting excrement. When you get written off for town, you sure get written off.

No matter what you score, there will be a fixation on the 1 miss.

He's only been getting better for us and Hurat alluded to him lacking sharpness when he first joined. Going to be a decent player I think

Stop being a prat, or would you just prefer the players  to stand aside and let them take the urine
