Just Back

Only positive is we got a point. And the games over

2 poor sides, with us poorer. Got the early goal though Pyke again, didnt build on it at all, dont think we had another shot on target for the rest of the game?

Gifted Sutton an equaliser with our customary defensive and goalkeeping errors.

2nd half we were absolutely excrement, could have and should have lost but for poor finishing, and a great save from Cartwright.

That was a very worrying performance, We missed Danny Rose but no excuses. New man has a huge job on his hands

Some really poor performances notably from Maher (again), Mullarkey (again) and Holohan. Make no mistake about it, we’re in a relegation fight.

I thought Mullarkey had a better game than most of his teammates.

He was decent mate

His crossing was awful and he kept on being skinned by Coley.

Mullarkey was excellent first half and his cross for the goal was fantastic. Second half was woeful, we were crying out for some quality and moved the ball far too slowly.

If pressed for MoM, I think I would go with Gnahoua.

Awful.... there were players out there today who just did not seem interested...  the club maybe on a sound footing but the squad has some serious issues.. forget the remarks of playing sound football but losing, that was neither sound and we should have lost against what was a very poor opposition... worrying times ahead for town

excrement performance but not going to go all doom and gloom we've got a new manager coming in and a transfer window yet if its still like this end of feb then panic

It was pretty bad, don’t think anyone can really come out with any credibility. They are terrible just big but their height stilll didn’t cause us problems, but we never caused them problems.

New manager watching that must think what a job I have on my hands.

All the tactical talk  - SP and BD certainly came across well at the Forum and have done a decent job post PH - counts for nought if players can’t  control the ball and pass the ball. Decision making and execution was woeful today with our midfield poor in the extreme.
Neither Holohan nor Andrews were anything like and Conteh showed why Green’s inclusion recently has been a bit of a plus. Conteh seemed to epitomize PH’s problems by going backwards or at best sideways at every opportunity.
We clearly missed Rose with Wilson showing that he either scores or does very little, although I thought Pyke and Gnuhoua were decent.
Mullarkey had one of his better games, even if the bar is a bit low, while Glennon slipped back to past failings. Not heavily involved and his dead ball delivery, especially corners, was poor.
Waterfall did OK, but Maher is a wee bit of an enigma. more than capable at his best but prone to mistakes. And the goal yet again, came right down the middle.
Don’t know what Cartwright was doing for their goal; he just went down so early and seemed to guess on the shot.
Thought subs might have helped earlier - especially Clifton’s energy, Hunt’s ability to pick a pass, Khan going at defenders, Green keeping it simple and getting stuck in and maybe Elisa dribbling and shooting before two of them did come on.
However, Sutton could and should have won, based on their clear cut chances, so thankful for a point at the end. But it’s not the best given their bottom placing and one po8nt away all season prior to today’s game.
The table is still very tight and a couple of wins could clearly change things very quickly. But where these are going to come from and how they’ll be achieved is another story. We certainllyhave some ability in the side/squad and SP and BD have shown some positivity even if it wasn’t particularly noticeable today. Maybe the new guy can give us the jolt we need, recognizing how difficult it must be for the interim co-managers under the present circumstances.
