I went for 1 and 7. Would much prefer blue shorts with the home strip!

[BigLeftToe]

If Judge said something to make him want to square up to him, surely it would have warranted a red card?

[BigLeftToe]

Why no orange ball? Why did Bradford turn up in bloody white kits!?

[BigLeftToe]

Club say the ground is soft underneath the covers and snow. Just need to remove the snow and they’re confident it’ll be game on.

Winnable, but when did we last win four on the bounce?

Last season…won 5 on the bounce (3 league, 2 cup games).

[BigLeftToe]

Just listened to Cox’s interview and he said he only wanted to bring in players that are better than what we’ve got…so I assume he doesn’t rate Rowe and he’s here as first choice right back.

Also confirmed Jem is out for two/three weeks which’ll be a big loss, but glad it’s not the usual 8 weeks!

[BigLeftToe]

Would be a great bit of business. I’ve always quite liked McGahey at full back too.

[BigLeftToe]

Think he played in their game on Tuesday but yeah, definitely not good enough for League 2 at the moment!

[BigLeftToe]

Another great 3 points…another awful 2nd half to watch.

To be fair the Essex boys are probably the best away commentators I’ve heard this season.

[BigLeftToe]

No thanks, well past it even if he isn’t crocked.

[BigLeftToe]

The most successful was probably Ivan Toney in his second spell with us…played most of his games as a single striker with a three of Morris, Holmes and Adelakun behind him.

[BigLeftToe]

Can understand why Cox went 5-4-1 but it’s not nice to watch and just invites constant pressure. 37% possession at home isn’t great!

That being said, we scored 2 and kept a clean sheet so I’m happy.

Loft MOM, followed closely by Karacan. I’ve been one of Loft’s biggest critics but I’ve been impressed these past two games. Hopefully the two up top stays and gets even better when Kev is back.

[BigLeftToe]

He’s a centre half, he only ever played centre half for us and he was pretty rubbish at it. He’ll probably play a blinder against us mind you.

[BigLeftToe]

Think we could and should have scored about 4 from set pieces today…Gilliead and O’Malley’s delivery was top notch.

Green needs to stay in the team and get a decent run, he’s rapid and will have the beating of most fullbacks in this league.

Karacan and Beestin looks a perfect combo. I like Spence but he doesn’t displace either of those two.

O’Malley > Brown.

Loft looked fairly decent today with a partner who was actually by his side. I don’t usually like Eisa through the middle but he was very good today.

4-4-2 merchants very much vindicated. Hopefully Cox learns from this and keeps it up!

I’ll be watching as I have done all season as I have a season pass. I used to be really nervous/anxious when watching games but after last season and this I literally don’t care anymore. If we concede and lose to the likes of Barrow it’s more of a wry smirk and sarcastic laugh that comes out of me now, rather than the pure anger/disappointment that it used to be. Which is quite nice as my weekends are no longer ruined when we lose, it’s just expected.

[BigLeftToe]

Well Swanny did confirm that we’re getting a new striker…and his name is Kevin Van Veen. Doubt he’ll be ready for this weekend though.

[BigLeftToe]

I think you’ll find NI’s tongue is firmly in his cheek.

[BigLeftToe]

Yeah apparently there are no decent sides in League 2 and you can’t play football on these pitches. No Peter, we’re just shit and other teams are much better than us!

After this weekend we could find ourselves in the bottom two and I’d have my money on us not getting back out of it.

We all know the reasons why we are where we are:

Shit decision making at the top.
Shit manager.
Shit coaches.
Shit players.

It really is as simple as that. We don’t need Swann to tell us, he can keep spouting “Covid” and “no pre season” as much as he wants. He’s only making himself look even more deluded.

[BigLeftToe]

The amount of times Covid was used as an excuse…nearly threw my effing phone out the window!!

And then to top it all off he thought Jarvis was just starting to show us what he was made of and ‘working the channels really well’. You couldn’t make it up!

Come on now, we know what will happen if he did get the boot…it’d just be Wilcox again until the end of the season and thus the cycle continues.

[BigLeftToe]

Would any of your family members still be inclined to refer to fans who thought relegation was a distinct possibility as morons?

[BigLeftToe]

Who’s had the biggest influence in turning us from a team challenging in the League 1 playoffs to a team fighting for their Football League survival? You? The (many) managers? The players?

[BigLeftToe]

Definitely the worst team in my lifetime…and by quite some margin!

[BigLeftToe]

Cox needs to go, we’re going down without a fight and with zero strikers on the pitch whilst one nil down against a relegation rival! It really is embarrassing.

[BigLeftToe]

Maybe it was planned they’d play a half each?

Agree with the above in that there’s no need to have both Spence and Karacan on the same pitch. Replace one of them with McAtee or Eisa and throw them up close to Loft.

[BigLeftToe]

This team really have no idea what they’re doing, it’s so difficult to watch.

You can hear what I assume is Lillis’ input on the highlights from last night!

That screaming banshee you can hear every game would be Mr. Cox.

[BigLeftToe]

Not the worst half in the world and we’ve played some fairly decent stuff, not really carved out a clear cut chance yet though. Fingers crossed one bounces in off of someone’s knee/shoulder/whatever and we grind out a win.
