If you are being paid to clean dust and bird crap off seats what other motivation do you need?
I still think Thompson or O’Malley in LM would be better than Green or Hippo. Don’t rate Bunn then WG?
Just listened to the managers post-match interview which both amazed and disappointed me but explained a lot. He focussed on the fact that we led both home games and yet, due to inexperience, “failed to see the game out” His idea for doing this involved “taking throw ins slowly” and “staying down when fouled and moaning to the ref.” Can I throw another option into the mix Neil, how about trying to score another 1 or 2 (even 3) and see the game out that way.

UTI99 will be along in a minute to explain all the benefits/improvements that you and the rest of us are missing. Oh, hang on, sorry he won’t, he tends to disappear when asked to justify his optimistic and positive posts.

Cox and UTI99 – “That’s 3 unbeaten now”
Alcazar – “Swann out”
Everybody else – ” Still no wins this season”4 users thanked author for this post.
Maybe they’d all brought cash.

Interesting that corners have been noted by many. Before the season started Cox highlighted the importance of set plays in L2. Today we had 11 corners which produced no goals and, as far as I remember, only one effort on goal and that off target. We have some big lads about, surely we can do better than this especially as goals from open play could be hard to come by.

Nah! Let’s go for a 5-4 instead of a 1-0 les. Give the (reducing) crowd some entertainment and get a few more back in.

Or dare we hope for 4-3-3?
Pugh, Beestin, Perry
Bunn, Loft, Scrimshaw
Might give us a bit of a goal threat for a change.Surely has to make more of an impact than Cordner & Vincent.

Thompson better than Butroid, Perry better than Hornshaw IMO.

What would Chris Kamara say? He’d be right. If Tomi Ameobi has improved as much could we get him back?
I see him ending up as a wide left player. He’s the best crosser we’ve had in a while.
Green or Mason? – No brainer. And you’d probably get a bit of extra defensive cover when under the cosh.It was reported, on arrival, that Thompson could also play LMid. Could be worth a try with O’Malley & Thompson in together but hard to see that if Cox persists with 3 CBs. Will he go 4-4-2 at home though, we’ll see on Saturday.
Whilst I was happy with a point and the attitude of the players I am not fully convinced that they have bought in to the way Cox wants to play. Is it possible that the players believe (rightly I hope) that they are better than the over defensive tactics which seems to be the only way Cox knows how to play? At this early stage it certainly looks like there could be at least two teams worse than us.
Yes that’s my view too. 5-5-0 looking for another clean sheet whilst pretending that Bunn, Green and Beestin have attacking intentions. Unless Neil has any surprises in mind – no I thought not.
Just the result of so many fans being unhappy with events both on and off the pitch.

Too late to register Lillis?
I think what puzzles many of us is on whose say so this player was signed in the first place. Doubtful if anybody will admit to it!!

Of course he will, is that what he’s afraid of? If he only has 2 fit strikers ( 1 unknown and 1 untried) then I don’t envy him at all.
Also, as somebody mentioned on another thread, there’s Jessop, who made the match day squad but was overlooked in favour of a midfielder when a striker went off. Now I accept that it might be too much to ask of a young player to play a lone striker role but, without an U23 side, when is he going to get any football?
George Veall NI.

So you think the abuse players like Goode/Burgess/Wootton received at games and on social media was justified?
All young players learning their trade yet scapegoated by some if they dared to make a mistake.Can you imagine any footballer worthy of the name asking to leave a club because “some nasty men in the crowd shouted at me saying I was ******* useless?” Surely the way to deal with that would be to go out and prove the nasty men wrong. (Unless, of course, you are ******* useless!!)

Forgot to say that I sincerely hope I’m wrong and I’m forced into a grovelling apology to the manager at FT.
Just about to post the same thing MK. Another pathetic attempt at a 0-0 (hoping for a pen to sneak a win?) and Beestin sacrificed for entering the opposition half more than he’s allowed to.

deemed good enough to be on the bench for a Premier League side. This despite some of you, led by ringleader SST, hounding him out of our club.
He was good enough to be on the bench in the Championship last season but didn’t start many times. Let’s see how many games he gets in the Prem. Never looked good enough when he was here, could have improved but probably not that much.
What do you base your “hounding out” theory on? People expressing an opinion that a player isn’t good enough? If that were the case we wouldn’t have many left, can’t think of many players in recent seasons that everybody rated.1 user thanked author for this post.
Also he’s not a Championship striker which is what Cox has said about the possible loanee.
I trust Cox knows the difference between a Championship striker and a striker on the books of a Championship club.Certainly doesn’t fit the bill as far as what Bruers think we need does he?

Sadly not all m’lord. A sicknote on that money, wouldn’t have him if he played for nothing.

But we lost that 1-0 didn’t we?
