Highlights.. if you dare

I don’t fancy having nightmares

Think I'll watch something less disturbing so "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" it is.

Sorry to say that Waterfall is past his sell by date, been a great servant, but watching him on the 6 goals is depressing

Absolutely shocking i don’t know how the players can justify a start in the next game except Rose.

Why didn't we take a yellow and haul the player down for their first?

Awful defending for most of them, the players just look like they are going through the motions running alongside the player with the ball. Nobody says anything after any of the goals, it's absolutely spineless.

I feel for our young keeper with that lot in front of him.

Agree with that last part. When we are attacking, some players are really half hearted getting back. I don't see much "he's going to him, so I'm going to cover that gap". Some look like they're running because they will get in trouble if they don't, not because they're busting a bollock to make sure they're on the end of that ball. Glennon is great attacking, but sometimes looks like he's treading on treacle when getting back. Mullarkey looks like "not my problem, but I gotta run, dude". Conteh looked quite casual. I'm not fully blaming him for the penalty in terms of behaviour, I think he misjudged that one and knew he copulated up. Holahan multiple times has looked like "intercourse it, not gonna make it anyway", not that he was playing today, but I'd seen it enough that I know he's not even a solution to our problems, even if he does come up with some attacking magic, but he's battling with Conteh and Hunt for the advanced spot. Waterfall pace wise, just isn't there. Cartwright can do some great stuff with his feet, but sometimes seems to forget he has hands he can use.

The more I see defending like this, the more I want Green and Clifton in the middle, Conteh ahead, because I cannot trust our defence without 2 holding midfielders. If anyone wants to take them out of the side, they have to work harder. I've never seen Efete with body language like Mullarkey, so he'd be starting. Amos's body language previously means I'd still favour Glennon, but left back would probably be a priority for me personally in Jan.

I think what we see here is an opportunity for the youngsters, because if they bust a gut, they deserve a chance.

I think many won't agree with me here, but when I look at the squad, and what I've seen over the course of the season, I'd probably Keep Efete, Rodgers, Maher, Clifton, Green, Rose, Hunt, Wilson, Pyke, Glennon. Though starting line up wise, I think I am only really thinking Clifton, Green, Rose, Efete really justify a starting birth right now on the basis of off the ball work. That is a ridiculously low amount IMHO. We're seriously short of grit, and as a result, it feels like that isn't the culture of the team. If 3 people are working their balderdash off, it looks like the exception, when 8 are, people think "if I don't, am I going to be in the team?".

If there is a positive, and there has to be one sliver of positivity, it’s this. We’re halfway through the season, we have a transfer window to hopefully recruit a number of players, that showing yesterday makes it pretty clear some players simply aren’t up for it and never will be. Time for DA to really earn his money. We’re are fighting relegation and only fighters will do.
