That 1st half was nothing short of a disgrace. Canโ€™t even do the basics right. Men against boys! Need a massive improvement in the 2nd half. Get Goodwin on, need a bit of physical presence up top, who can hold the ball up, when we do it get it forward and that wasnโ€™t much in the 1st half!
 
I know everyone is frustrated/angry but youโ€™re wasting your energy by calling for Des to be sacked. He wonโ€™t be going anywhere yet.
Look how long Robinson lasted before they gave him the boot.
 
We're not so much playing badly as not even being allowed to play. Looks like a Sunday league side trying to take on a professional side.
 
That pathetic shambles of 45 minutes is completely down to Buckingham. The sit deep and defend tactics with this team inevitably means we will concede. And I actually think it is worse not to be good enough to recognise you have to change it after 30 minutes with at least 2 subs. Buckingham showing his naivety, inexperience and what appears to be complete incompetence. An utter shocker. And less said about that keeper downgrade we have got now the better. Rodrigues and McGuane basically means we are playing with 9 men, maybe 8.5 if Harris's contribution is counted as a token gesture too.
 
That second goal is 100% Cummings fault in every respect. Heโ€™s facing the play, he can use his hands and his feet, he has to come and claim it and clean everyone out - Leigh included - in the process. Pathetically weak and cowardly goalkeeping.
Not according to Appleton. He said Leigh had to clear it
 
I donโ€™t even know what our gameplan is anymore. At least with Manning you could see what he was trying to do but here it feels Des js just throwing crap at wall and seeing what sticks. Itโ€™s like we played well (and lost) against Pompey and won against Cheltenham so he persists with this one-dimensional predictable lineup and style. Hate to say it but he is so far out of his depth itโ€™s insane and Lincoln must be laughing at swerving him especially with the run they are on.

Rodriguez, McGaune and Brannagan all look hopeless now and the goalkeeper is a travesty. Weโ€™ve put it on a plate for Bolton tonight from a tactical and quality standpoint and fortunate itโ€™s only 2-0.
 
Iโ€™m expecting/demanding a much better 2nd half , no excuses Des , we are virtually full strength against a team who are missing their main front men
 
There isnโ€™t a back bone amongst our lot. Absolutely gutless.

Woeful performance.

Does this look like a team playing for their Manager in front of national TV? It doesnโ€™t to me.

I feel for Des.

I'm sure we'll turn up for the second half and score 4 unanswered goals to silence all those negative moaners.
