We look lost on the pitch. No quality anywhere, absent midfield. Nobody within 10 yards of their player for the goal.
No centre back cover 3 games in.
Very worrying

August 22, 2026 at 1:17 pm #325228Is it too much to ask of them to pass the ball to each other? Devoid in so many areas. Formation’s a mess. Are they actually training in the week?

August 22, 2026 at 1:19 pm #325229Agree, can’t string passes together so can’t build momentum, Eastleigh aren’t great but they could do us 3-0 here
August 22, 2026 at 1:27 pm #325231Team looks like they were introduced to each other on the bus on the way down.

August 22, 2026 at 1:31 pm #325233At the game and wish I hadn’t bothered. I’ll repeat what I said after the Southend game…it’s bad, like, really bad.
But don’t worry, Eastleigh “will be right up there” at the end of the season so we’re allowed to be shite against them (and every other team in this division).

August 22, 2026 at 1:31 pm #325234Shocking.
I just hope that we can up our game to mediocre in the second half.
To win this, we are going to have to aim for below par – coz they are nowt. Don’t think we are capable of such dizzy heights though.
PLEASE prove me wrong!
It had never occurred to me that our status could be endangered this season BUT …1 user thanked author for this post.
August 22, 2026 at 1:33 pm #325235It’s really concerning, toothless up front Starbuck diabolical Brennan really poor. Butler needs to give them a rocket otherwise he’ll be under pressure, could be in bottom 4 tonight

August 22, 2026 at 1:35 pm #325236Has AB gone 5 at the back to keep it at 0-1?
I don’t understand with a forward heavy bench why we sub Dec Howe with a defender!August 22, 2026 at 1:37 pm #325238Has AB gone 5 at the back to keep it at 0-1?
I don’t understand with a forward heavy bench why we sub Dec Howe with a defender!Because Butler doesn’t know what he’s doing???

August 22, 2026 at 1:41 pm #325239Callum Howe not Dec Howe has gone off injured
August 22, 2026 at 1:41 pm #325240I don’t understand his lineup Parker,Whitehall and Gale on the bench ,playing Howe up front on his own. Butlers comments in the ST says its the worst they,d played in his tenure.Does not say much for his management.All the players that have joined the club recently,are they of the right standard?

August 22, 2026 at 1:44 pm #325242Real lack of quality, still need a decent keeper and threadbare in certain positions.

August 22, 2026 at 1:52 pm #325245Whoops, wrong Howe!
August 22, 2026 at 1:57 pm #325246It shows the problem though centre back goes off and no proper cover so Ogle comes on. Their second goal really poor defending yet again.

August 22, 2026 at 2:05 pm #325251Ditto their third.
Could’ve sorted this mess out in pre-season

August 22, 2026 at 2:36 pm #325257Well. Those with a tendency to being a misery guts are getting all the plaudits – and rightly!

August 22, 2026 at 2:40 pm #325260August 22, 2026 at 3:37 pm #325269We can console ourselves slightly in that it’s only 3 games in and still time to turn around but if performance don’t improve dramatically we will be in real bother. The defence and midfield look shambolic!
