On the back foot a lot of the time, almost lowest scorers in the league. Very different to last season. No buzz around this team.Ok, you’ve got my attention.

Agreed at least he had a shot. Do the players not realise you need to score goals to win a game our goal attempts as usual are shocking , two shots today maybe and one headed attempt.Given his strike-to-goals rate, though, I didn't mind him having a go from there.
OBvs you missed the Hull game, some lovely attacking first halfWhat a bloody boring team we are to watch this season..nothing about us.
So do you not agree when I said the controversial bit is that he was signed as a first choice RB that has quite clearly failed and now can't get on the bench as a R mid/winger or anything else!!I thought I made that clear. Ckare is at his best as an attacking right midfield/winger. He's not at his best tracking back or working when out of possession. At home when taking the game to the opposition then he's worth a gamble, away when you need to be more reserved, there are better option.
Disagree. Great point deserved against the form team of the Division.A great point out of a poor performance. I found that hard to watch tbh, bar Long, Moore and Atkinson who were decent. Otherwise we looked very much second best all game. Hopefully we can move on and win another game soon.

You said that Whyte wouldn't come to us as we will sure to be relegated?What a bloody boring team we are to watch this season..nothing about us.
Different to last season? of course we are, it’s not the same team with key, consistent players injured, sold or returned to parent clubs, but this team are trying to win, the coaching team are trying to win and although they may not get it right every game at the moment, they are setting up to not lose, keeping clean sheets and TRYING to score.On the back foot a lot of the time, almost lowest scorers in the league.

I know. It was a joke. Clare can't play right back.But we had Forde who was a better option at rb and could play anywhere across the middle. Clare gives us direct pace on the right, but not much more. At home I'd be more attacking and have him on the bench, away and I'm not sure we need him.
I think Clare would have been a better sub to bring on than Agyei in the wide right position (with Shodipo coming on left).It had nothing to do with stubbornness and everything to do with having no alternative. Long was playing centre back, Forde was playing centre mid and Hanson was injured. So KR stuck with him at right back for longer than he would have wanted.
Clare has played further up the pitch, and looked much better, but today wasn't a game for gung-ho attacking. I think we got the subs just about right today, and I'm that includes Clare.
I think we need to actually try to win some away games now and again.But we had Forde who was a better option at rb and could play anywhere across the middle.

Pretty dire performance, we were lucky to get a point. I dont think kelly, mcguane and ruffels are good enough for a top half league one team. This formation robbo sticks with only works if you have pacy wingers / strikers and we dont have any of them at the mo.
Kelly didn't do much today. He's the sort of player that maybe shouldn't be playing in away matches, rather than not even having Clare to come on with genuine pace in the second half.McGuane, in particular, has been excellent in recent weeks. Kelly has also looked much better in a more advanced role. Both are plenty good enough for this level.
Ruffels has been out of sorts since his injury but was an ever present last season in a team that narrowly missed out on promotion.
But otherwise I guess you're right!!

Blackpool with their good recruitment were exciting though!What a bloody boring team we are to watch this season..nothing about us.
