Mills for Davies only change, Vernon not ready, Clem on bench

What's the formation with Dembele, Kelly and TomBolo all playing?

Kelly played behind Hooper on Tuesday so I guess it'll be the same today.

Dream team up front then?

Commentary on i follow broke 2 secs before KO. Technical difficulties >:(

Still broke, useless!!

Anybody sent off yet?

Dembele with a great run.
This lad is class.

i- follow back now

Come on you mighty mariners!

Following the game from sunny Rhodes.

Dream team up front then?

What's all the slagging off of our No 9????
First time I've seen him. He's been great up to now.

Oh dear :(

No clean sheets this season.

And not enough chances converted, I safely predict.

We now need at least 2 goals to win today, so by bye bye 3 points :B

Apart from Dembele's run this is dreadful.

Boooolllllox

Against the run of play.

Need help up top desparatly.

Sort it out sladey !!

Mills is class! Town don't deserve to be losing, we just switched off, Wycombe don't look very good, good at cheating though  ;)

Pedestrian in midfield again, build up play far to slow...Hooper just headed off the line, in for a tough afternoon I'm afraid

Got to feel for Dembele, trying to carry a side at 20 years old.

Have we scored flash score says we have

Clarke with another mistake? Bet he isn't dropped all season.

Am not there today but apparently we scored ?

2-0

Ffs

We're Fking excrement !!

I decided a couple of werks ago for various reasons that I won't be watching Town again while JF is at the club . His tenour has been nothing short of failure . If he thinks promotion from non league counts then he is as deluded as most his management choices

Bottom of the league as it stands!!

We are dire.

You sign losers, you are losers

I really hope Fenty has kept working out with his trigger-finger in anticipation of Slades team being worse off than Bignots team was after the same amount of games. And has someone else lined up as Slade is shown the door.
It's tragic how gutless this team and club have become, at 1-0 down there's a barely a faint glimmer of scraping a draw AT HOME, at 2-0 down the fans may as well go home now.

2.5 home games. Scored 0 conceded 5. Worrying start to the season but it is only the start.

Hate to say it but my worst fears when Slade came back are playing out.

The thing is Wycombe are poor, we are just giving the ball away far too much, Mills and Dembele are fantastic players for this league.

We can't handle it when they start stringing passes together. It looked like their guy handled the ball for their penalty. Maybe don't deserve to be 2-0 down but we are shocking! If they kick it up a gear then we could lose 4 or 5 nil here.

Starting to get very disheartening now

Bottom of the league back to non league the out of business we go

Didn't realise Slades unfinished business was to get us relegated.

Shocking, just, shocking. If this continues, it's relegation.....

Watching online and got to say this has to be as bad as watching Neweels gutless wonders, apart from Mills and Dembele the rest are very poor. Especially poor in defence where someone as fat as that fleetwood player had plenty of time to swing a leg and score.

What is alarming is the complete lack of reaction to going behind

The "as it stands table" shows that we are 92nd in the football league as. It stands.............. well at least Borehamwood is close to home next season.

Even after 4 games looking at the way we are playing we are in danger of having a relegation fight on our hands.

Absolute shower of shite

I am sitting at home in the Midlands and fuming... this is NOT acceptable.... it's a bloody disgrace.... angry is not the word....

Quote from Slade: " Lets make Blundell Park a fortress".  Does he realise that we have to be inside the fort and not outside. Its really dire. Why doesn't he put a side out on the pitch to attack,we are clueless. Pre season stands for nothing,we score 30+ goals, and now we couldn't score in a brothel. Come on Slade, put attackers on and give us a chance.

This is awful ... Absolutely embarrassing.

What the hell is going on.. too much cash going out the door for the fenty dome , more like the theatre of tears.. looks like we have got a team of none league players. even dembelle  has no end product . what a shower of crap we have become

How ineffective is Sam Kelly that he gets subbed at h/t 2 league matches on the trot

I don't see a lot of difference between Div 4 and the Conference except we tend to win more in the Conference. It won't be so bad, lets just get this season over and start again at somewhere nice like Chester next year

Town score from penalty spot, couldn't see it coming from anywhere else up till then.

2-1 rose peno

Another red fu king hell

Collins sent off,
Could we be getting a fine now ?

That's a record I can't believe it, were right dirty C"Unts

Hes supposed to be the experienced head-does Russ still think there are no discipline issues?

Its so bad its laughable

Another stupid reckless challenge from Collins and another sending off this is getting silly

If we kept 11 players on the pitch we might actually get somewhere,

Slade get this f---ing discipline sorted out and fast.

Come on Town - you can get something out of this we have had a lot of 11 v 10 practice! UTM

I havent seen us this season but if we're really that bad we shouldn't be to shocked by the late tackles

At least we're top of the red card table

How can we go from a decent performance to this shambles ?

What is going on. I don't care if some cards are debatable or whatever. 5 reds in 5 games is ridiculous and boils down to a complete lack of discipline.

How can we go from a decent performance at chesterfield to this shambles ?

Goal

At least Osborne will get a chance now!

flipping hell! Equaliser!

Hooper 2-2

Slade must have threatened them with lines or detention at HT

Tranny losing at home 2-0 to Herts' local side. Borehamwood.

Gimps beating Carlisle 3-0 😥

Unfortunately out of town today but my Dad sent a text saying the red card was faulty rather another nothing foul. Sounds like we may have been hard done by there. Can we hold on?

Excellent goal by Hooper

Josh magennis scores again. Fatty read scores Lincolns third

3-2 down fgs

Akinfenwa again

Fat illegitimate scores again.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Fat illegitimate scores again.

Is Slade on as a sub then?

The beast unmarked again and scores

They could have the fat controler up front and still be better than anything we have

Scunts 3 up.the pope pulls one back from Torquay, who are having a terrible season

I love how our team is so excrement that people have taken to following other teams locally.

Good bye league football ,, hello non league  at this rate

Gonna be a long hard season.
The disclinpline needs sorting asap. It's totally unacceptable to have 5 red cards in 5 games.

The last time I can remember us coming back from 2 goals down it was also a waste of time.

(Macclesfield. Also it possibly wasn't the last time)

Just been out and come back to the score! Jesus, we must be on for some sort of red card record??

Podge scores for Newport.

Just saying like  ;)

Podge scores on his Newport debut

Tranny equalise and now Cheltenham pull it back to 3-4 in the Yokel Derby

Podge scoring sums it up.

Absolute load of b0llocks. Team not good enough.

Quoted from forza ivano

Podge scores on his Newport debut

Oooh! People don't lies pointing that out.

Negative tactics one striker at home five sendings off in as many games , yep we have problems .

I said last week this negative Russell Slade we have now as our manager is really starting to worry me.

FT 2-3

Rubbish

Load of sh1t. Absolutely a load of sh1t.

Craig clay scores a 99th minute equaliser for orient

And Olly Lancashire on the scoresheet too - own goal in the Swindon match v Crawley.

If you're going to play with one striker, it's generally going to be an inherently defensive formation, yet we're shipping goals left, right and centre. Slade quickly abandoned his 3-4-3 during his first spell (though we had been playing some good stuff with that formation), so perhaps time for him to do the same this time around?

Fu*kin disgrace....  sh1t... somebody has to go... Slade or Fenty or both.... one thing is for sure... we need more than a couple coming in....  this is UNACCEPTABLE GARBAGE  !!!

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Its early. Its still very early. But its looking like Paul Hurst was an accidental bit of clever stability brought by the man himself, and we are still the same badly run club we were 7 years ago.

I dont see how things can even turn around. So many things wrong in so many areas, such a clueless feel to the whole setup, Bignot was sacked for less than this.

Would take a 7 figure investment to sort this out, Slade has built a 'tower of playing cards'  side. 😦

The writing is on the wall this early. This squad is way below par. Really a load of sh1t.

Second half was better but first half was way too slow and pedestrian.

,,,,,,and if you thought things were bad today, Lincoln's crowd was more than double the size of ours!
I see that only three teams had smaller crowds today and I can see us not even getting 4k next week.

Can anyone remember when fenty appointed Slade and he made out we were going for a full on assault on the league and show our intent..

I didn't know playing one striker James berrett in the midfield and getting red cards every game plus putting a new meaning on sladeball was what he meant.

Only team we have got points against is bottom of the football league :-/

After telling Bignot we were a longterm project but also giving him free reign in a january transfer window

Just about to say that the game at Chesterfield was a false dawn, they are bottom at the moment. I am already starting to fear the worst at the moment.

Let's not panic and let's not start hyperbole about how hopeless we are. We're looking poor at the moment but have a good few players out injured who will be back soon, we're only losing narrowly despite the ridiculous number of red cards so it won't take much to make the necessary improvements and improve results.

Fair post. Time to keep a cool head and no knee jerk reaction. I was very disappointed with the signings made though and so not too surprised that we struggle utm

The returns of Jones, Clements Vernon and eventually Osborne will surely make a difference but even so. Not looking promising so far

Slade has had a terrible last 15 months. Sacked by Charlton 6 months into a 3 years contract and didn't even last 3 months at Coventry. I've always been a Slade fan and was delighted when he was reappointed but it seems to me his confidence must be shot to pieces - is that showing itself in the current performances?

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

After telling Bignot we were a longterm project but also giving him free reign in a january transfer window

Then sacking him shortly afterwards.

Same thing happened with Neil Woods after allowing him to re-build the squad. But apparently that wasn't his decision.

Oh and Graham Rodger soon after he'd recruited a lot of players.

But on the plus side we had the 5 years given to Paul Hurst.

I agree.

I still just don't understand why Bignot was dumped and we bought Slade in. I thought it was a baffling decision at the time, and absolutely nothing I've seen yet this convinces me it was the right choice. It's been a pretty dreadful start by any measure.

You've forgotten that the fans were boycotting Slades games at Cardiff until they shuffled him upstairs and out the way. He's on a shocking run and it doesn't appear to be turning.

You call it hyperbole but until we stop getting a red card a game and playing the most defensive football to ever grace blundell park I'm going to carry on being concerned.

The whole picture at the minute is very concerning , we were promised a full on assault on the league by fenty bignot was sacked as fenty believed he hadn't the capabilities Russell Slade has in the transfer market , well comparing the signings both managers have made except maybe dembele for Slade and Jones for bignot you have to say there isn't a great deal , infact I would say Slade's signings have been poor on a whole.

He lines up with one striker plays Sam Jones out wide berrett and summerfield in midfield I'm sorry but what is he trying to achieve here ? It's never going to work.

Matt Dean asked Slade a few weeks ago if we have a disciplinary problem which Slade basically laughed at Matt Dean and said don't be stupid , well five red cards in as many games suggests otherwise.

The whole set up and the way we line up worries me and I was a fan of slade last time but what is he trying to do ? I am genuinely worried and I don't consider when you look at the bigger picture with poor signings negative tactics and awful disciplinary problems hyperbole.

Because I don't think Fenty is very good at understanding people. And after having 6 years of a very steady Paul Hurst, he probably didn't mentally prepare himself for another young inexperienced manager, who would make mistakes. He probably didn't realise he needed to be completely clear with the clubs needs, and thought it'd be fine to tell him it was a long term project, when really what he meant is 'I want to be in league 1 any time within 5 years, but mainly I want good ticket sales and a steady team with steady results that gives the fans confidence'

So Bignot made mistakes, some understandable like snapping up alot of good young players before they got signed elsewhere because you were given free reign in the transfer market, despite it unbalancing the team. For that reason he probably made one of his biggest mistakes (Saying we're looking to the next season when it was only february and we werent that far off the playoffs) to take the pressure off that newly formed team.
Other mistakes less understandable like his love affair with gavin gunning.

Actually, thinking about it, despite the one up top, I don't think you could call it the most defensive formation we've ever seen as it isn't very compact and teams find plenty of space against us in our own half. A more standard 4-5-1 with three proper central midfielders would be properly defensive (and might be necessary in away games!) but I think the problem is that Slade thinks our current formation is going to allow some sort of free-flowing attacking football where the evidence is to the contrary!

Slade seems to be really struggling these last few years, is he past it? Just like players all managers have sell by dates
