i think that sums us up in one word. Did we create anything?

first 20 mins of the second half we were all over them like a horrible rash but it didn't come to anything apart from Roberts hitting the post.

Our only shot on target was Brownlie's header in the 92nd minute, the sort of performance we were producing last season.

I know its a cliche but if we were still playing now, we still wouldn't have scored...even with the Peterborough team half way home.

Rubbish is a bit of an understatement, Trevor fucking Benjamin scored FFS!  :evil:

Describes Roberts performance rather accurately.  Gave away a needless freekick which lead to the goal.  Nver looked at the races today.  I still think Town are short of a striker who can poach and snatch goals in the 6 yard area.  I know Wisey likes Roberts and Peacocks contribution to the team,  but we need them scoring goals.

Maybe put Roberts on the right wing?   :wink:

That was even worse at times than last season.

Brezovan - Needs to look up before punting the ball down field.
Nicho - Did Ok, nothing amazing but quite solid.
Williams / Ifil - Handled most things well, kept Boro's chances to a minimum.
Shakes - Perfored well considering being out of position, stuck to the task could have pushed forward more but otherwise Ok.
Weston - Made some good runs early on but became invisible.
Evans - Solid performance, probably man of the match.
Ince - Needs to get fit, concered, is he an expensive mistake?
Caton - First poor performance in a Town shirt, lacked energy and pace.
Roberts - Looked like the Roberts of old, slow, disinterested, lacking any form of passion, poor attitude.
Peacock - Worked his balls off for little or no return, never really looked like threatening the goal.
Subs,
Brown - Poor touch, never really got into the game.
Onibuje - Worked hard, involved in every thing good during second half, deserves a start soon.
Brownlie - Never stood a chance with the long ball game being played when he came on.

I would not like to be at training on monday, I hope Dennis gives them the kicking they deserve.

Nicho - Did Ok, nothing amazing but quite solid. ????
Brown - Poor touch, never really got into the game. ???

Are you kidding? Nich was poor, out of position on numerous occasions, didnt help with caton playing dire in front of him.
Brown changed the game second half, looked good won balls and put some crosses in definitely should start ahead of caton next game.

Sorry, but I agree with Kev. Nicho was solid, did a job and got forward often.

Brown (who is supposedly 'better' than this league) proved his worth when he crashed a shot handsomely over the bar and into the TE.

People dont give Brown enough credit,  purely because of the situation at the beginning of the season. I think some peoples opinions are biased towards him, but realisticly he was one of the better players today, you only noticed him for the bad things he does instead of the good.

Bollocks was Brown any good. Waste of fucking space.

Onibuje for Roberts next week, unless he can promise not to make any more retarded tackles.

I can't remember one good cross that Brown put in today. You can't rate a winger good when he can't deliver crosses - just like Shakes.

Roberts is shit, we need a striker who will score on a regular bases and Shakes is not a RB, please stop playing him there Wise.

I don't remember any other crosses making any impact either to be fair. It's difficult for your wingers to get in the game though, when the balls constantly being punted 40ft in the air.

Thing is, there's little wrong with our back line. I think we missed Smith today (Shakes did a job today, but he's clearly not as good as smith there). It's the midfield & attack that were crap today. Evans was dissapointing today, for me.

You realised your mistake before I could correct you. We play Wycombe on the 26th  8) .

yeah, but our defence didn't help the midfield get in to the game with lobng abll after long ball. and i still think brezovans dodgy.

shocking typing  8)

I've not been impresse dby Ince so far at all. He looks unfit and off the pace. Hopefully he'll improve when he gains match fitness. As othrs have said Roberts looked like he did of old with little effort. However this might be the way he plays when we are losing as this was the case most of last year.

In case you haven't noticed we've only got one RB and he's injured.
Thus Shakes is the next best option and doing an okay covering job - but he's not a RB, but who else is there until Smith is fit?

Sorry but the start of the season stuff's got nowt to do with it, if you look back far enough I'm pretty sure you'll find posts of mine  stating he was poor last season as well. Personally I dont rate him, simple as.

the season before Shakes joined us he played a whole season at right back for Bolton Reserves

RUBBISH yes we were, hands up if ya goin to notts :\/

 :nono:

But did buy my tickets for Wycombe before todays game  :\/

The defence punted it forward too much, because the midfield didnt come looking for it....which meant they couldnt spread the play to the wingers, who couldnt get into the game and supply the crosses for the strikers...one of which put in exactly 0 effort.

I thought Shakes did ok at RB today

Ha! I'm really stupid - bought mine after watching that shower of shite. Meh, bad day at the office, if anyone thought we were just going to walk the division playing champagne (OK, Pomagne) football, hopefully today's blip is a wake-up call. As long as it's just a blip, all teams get them - still believe Dennis will lead us to Johnstone's Paint glory  :D

i cant wait to lift that pot

Im the most miserable fucker alive but you lot just cant wait can you.

:( It was very rubbish and at times it was almost like last season.
Although I am still extremely positive.Bring on notts county.

They decide to be shit when I go don't they. fucking cunts that cost me £20. cunting cunts cunts. I'm skint now. I missed their goal because I was getting a strongbow.

I don't think its time to panic just yet, but the team now have a week to recover and simply have to do a job next week and keep the pressure on others at the top. Now would be a dreadful time to go through a bad patch with so many teams up near to the top 3

Oh I don't know - get it out of the way, sort of thing. It's inevitable, and you can guarantee at least two or three promotion candidates will go through it towards the end of the season - when we can pounce 8) .

Definitely no need to panic yet! Providing the hoofball stops now. Cant understand why they did that. Think they needed more patience and definitely need more work on passing. Would like to see us score some goals that aren't from set pieces though.
