Just Back in the car

Quoted from It Bites

I heard that . I also heard them wanting to see the team play a certain way ?

Quoted from friskneymariner

Agree that we have 7/8 players who are not good enough,it really shows how poor our recruitment was in the summer.Owners need to step up,but doubt they will,with the appointment of Artell think they appointed in their own like,bad move in management terms as it invariably results in group think.
He may be confident we won't be relegated,but I am not ,and if we escape it will only be because there are two teams worse than us.This transfer window  is crucial in the history of town.

Quoted from ginnywings

It's like end of days on here.

Did anyone actually expect us to go to Mansfield and get anything? They have lost one game all season and are a level above us at this time.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that most were saying how well we played against Crewe.

Yes, I accept the performance was crap, but Mansfield are a very good side, and made us look crap, as good teams do. We are not very good, or very consistent right now, which is why we have a new manager. Losing to Mansfield won't determine our season.

Of course there is concern among the fans, it's natural, but let's see how we do in the next couple of games before we start looking at non league guides for next season.

Quoted from It Bites

You’re right it was embarrassing. I’m talking Bignot Ball embarrassing. To be destroyed like that by a team in the same league is not on . We looked like a non league team who train twice a week . The Artell bounce has gone , we have no money and 7/8 players who are no where near good enough to compete at mid table in this league . Yeah I know Fenty and Hurst have played their parts but as it’s been pointed out too me , we need to move on . I’m afraid JS&AP are failing on the football side as much as Fenty . I said Football Side only

Quoted from barralad

It's not very often I'm embarrassed to be a Town fan but we were handed our collective ar&es on a plate today. We struggled to do the basics. We couldn't pass the ball which is an absolute pre requisite for playing the type of game Artell appears to want. There was a bit more movement especially in the first half when we did put together a couple of very good moves.
The first goal took a deflection but came about because we lost the ball. The second goal happened because we allowed their lad to run...and run.
Second half was damage limitation with some of the players body language suggesting-far too early-they knew they were beaten. We appear to have picked up injuries- not ideal at this time of year.
Man of the Match by a country mile Harvey Cartwright who without much help from those in front of him made at least EIGHT greaat saves/blocks.
Of the outfield players only Green (in patches) and the irrepressible Danny Rose came out with much credit.

Quoted from Mayaman

I agree Mansfield were very good.  Very accurate passing and didn't give the ball away much , especially at the back. Still, not much bite about town.  a lot of 'em looked lacklustre.  What happened to Glennon?  Two or three games ago, he was on fire. Not singling him out per se, but the difference has been dramatic.
