We played well first half and were unlucky to go in 3-2 down. Defensively we didnt look confident but really took the game to them, and deserved more.
2nd half we were shite.
Take nothing away from NF, they did a lot of blocking, tackling and goal poaching, but they were there for the taking today and we blew it. Goalie unfit and gave them 2, back to normal on own pens etc. I also get fed up with the front 2 getting offside and we still continue to pump up aimless high balls.
On the positive side, the first half was entertaining despite defensive howlers, but we never pushed on after half time despite some EASY chances to do so. I thought we gave up with 20 to go and NF cruised it .
James and Gards were very good, Fozzy gave 100%, but not too many others can be satisfied, in my opinion.
Unless we sort out the defence, the play-offs are out of reach.
Mookie summed it up nicely there, defence a shambles coops not fit and was culpable for 3 goals with help from centre backs, Danny meadowcroft mom ? never in a million years possibly only gards worth a shout great first half again we we’re bullied and cannot compete over 90 mins they were not that good we were poor, I thought foster was poor also along with most other offensive players, what was the point of throwing mike mosely on again for last 10 minutesmjustsilly that We need to win the ball not have 3 or 4 up front watching us get battered maybe we need a change of shape just now we have superb wing backs in gards and matty try glover on left side of 3 and boost up the midfield 3 with Sheehan and James in front and shaw offensively might work ? Worth trying because we have lost something in our game and maybe confidence is gone a bit, still desperately need a third option up front also. Nothing to lose doubt we will be going up and I’m not bothered if we don’t but would like to see us trying to improve still. UTAH

Let’s think about Tuesday,snake and his gullible army.

When you watch recent performances the team hasn’t performed that badly when we’re attacking. There is clearly something amiss with our defending (not necessarily solely with the defence).
I feel particularly sorry for Josh Glover who sits out more games than he has played and must feel very p’d off to see a defender signed (who is slower than Pritch, now) yet he deserves, imo, a decent run in the back line - or, as against Blyth in the FAT, sitting in front of the back four and supporting the defence in this role.
There are some players who are struggling with form and Josh Glover deserves a run of games, imo.

We havent played well since the New Year imo!
The break, injuries and the pitches (including our own) havent helped our form. But given the weather the fact we can still get games on is a testimant to our groundstaff. I believe we’ve signed Meadowcroft because Pritch wanted some leadership from the back and it takes time to settle into a new back 4 especially when you havent played for a while. A change of formation might be the answer but the players would have to get used to playing that system. Thought Fozzie was one of our better players on the day not his best performance but scored and won the pen against top of the table side. Not bad for an off day. Few more teams can catch us now, maybe we should start taking the cups a little more seriously (yes that means fans turning up to cup games) Our good run last year had a fair few cup victories in. The attendance was low but given lack of interest in our games so far this year hardly surprising also don’t think our current form has helped fair weather fans are a fickle bunch love it when you’re winning but have a dip in form and they disappear. Lets get back on track tomorrow

GE pretty sure Josh will get a good run, thats when he is fit though.
