that about sums it up for me

The difference was they need one clear cut chances to score, we had 3 very good chances and scored 0

we couldn't have gift wrapped their goal better if we tried.

i'm very concerned.

ive lost interest .

what 3 chances were they then? i dont even remember us having 1 decent clear cut chance if im honest. i wouldn't really call Brown's cross across the face of a goal a real chance if thats what your thinking of

well Fola missed a gift 1st half for one

What was it, scotch mist

well it wasn't a "oh he should have scored there" if he was half a yard quicker he would have got there in time. as he wasn't he wasn't there to miss it was he?

rich you're mental

It went behind him/through his legs. He was too quick

 :soapy tit wank: OK i was in the Townend so ok he was too quick

Fola a yard out with an open goal, Id call that a chance. He swung and missed it, went right through his legs.

Fola also got to the ball first and the keeper was coming out towards him, so Fola headed back to him. Another decent chance.

Peacock turned in the box and tried to chip the keeper and it got scrambled away eventually. Thats 3 decent chances right there.

2 of those should have been taken, Peacocks chance wasnt so clear cut but Fola was fucking awful and should have come away with a couple of goals

he is a mixed bag Fola. he does a lot but he can't score for shit. the header one was awful!

Plus the one to which left Shakes in the box, he kinda hit a left foot volley....another decent half chances.

If we'd taken our chances we would have won today.

Fola cracks me up he does some great work then fucks up the simple stuff.

The bit where Fola skinned about 3 with a wonderful piece of skill  tight to the touchline, got clear and then shinned the ball and it bobbled  into touch as he looked up was classic.

  Fits of laughter in TE, and a chant of Fola Onion Bhaji.

  For L2 it was a decent game and even had a bit of a 22 man brawl....(OK 14) the likes of which we haven't seen since the halcyon days of Mcmahon.

i forgot about the Shakes one myself. he should have scored that one! but when does he ever? i thought Brown was poor today as well

Fola should play on the wing, it's as simple as that. He creates problems for defenders, but his finishing is shite.

Rhodes and Peacock upfront.

End of................

And them chances were given to the one and only Fola Onibuye. Fuckin waste of space that player. We controlled the game, should have won really. Rhodes should have come on earlier for Brown, Brown wasn't really doing much neither was Shakes really. And why do people insist on putting Brownlie on the Wing, he is better as a striker end of.

One more thing, Jack Smith is under-rated in my opinion, he had a great game today. I think he'll be off in the summer.

Good news about Brezovan, although they only said weve nearly signed him.

We would do worst than spend some of the money saved from wise leaving on the little shit Leon Knight he would score a bagfull of goals in this side

Knight seems unwilling to drop a division and is also a wanker

I thought you weren't going Reg?

That was fookin ace. The town end went mental :mrgreen: .

After todays showing can Aaron Brown try his hand at another profession? a Plumber would be a good choice IMO.

Nah...i think he would be more suited to trying his luck as a rent boy.

How were the fans yesterday?  Heard they were pretty good?

Although I wasn't there I'm not too disappointed as we only lost 1 nil to a very in form side who scored 10+ goals in their last 2 matches (I think  :-))( ). For a side who have just lost some influential staff, sounds like we didn't do too badly at all.

Not that good, could have done much better when we went 1-0 down but yet so could have the players.

How much longer is Rhodes here for? I agree about him being a better finnisher.

We know that Fola will miss sitters, so we cant count ourselves as unlucky when chances go begging. But I thought his overall contribution was excellent, making a right nuisance of himself.

All in all we werent bad yesterday, but weve got to watch that morale doesnt dip. Two or three unlucky results now and we are going to be in real trouble.

Looks like he's staying till January...

We can but hope

I was screaming for him to come on yesterday.

I still dont think he is being given a fair crack

i saw nothing from rhodes yesterday that suggests to me he's any better than what we've got, but that's the only time i've seen him so far, so i'll reserve judgment for now.

fola's a waste of space, effective yet totally useless - a complete paradox. bizarre.

we should have been 2-0 up before lincoln scored, if we'd have taken the lead i don't honestly believe lincoln had enough in their locker to come back.

we need a finisher. sadly, the only player i've seen all season who looks like a finisher is playing on the wing - when he gets in the team.

i agree, ricky shakes should play up top  :o

Fola's a complete nightmare to watch - much like Shakes in as much that he works himself into good positions but is bereft of basic skill so cannot convert. Both are athletes, not footballers - in Shakes' case he could perhaps be a decent right back, but he's no attacking winger.

Fola creates opprtunities that many strikers wouldn't through his strength, acceleration and pace, but his finshing is woeful. I'd far rather see Peacock and Rhodes, or Peacock and Brownlie even, up top (I don't even really rate Brownlie, but he'd finish more than Fola).

Fola wide right

Peacock and Rhodes/Brownlie/whoever up front

fola can't even cross the ball!

goal for Peacock at accrington, set up by a Fola cross

goal for Pook against Grimsby, set up by a Fola cross

being a right winger involves alot of defensive work aswell thats the main reason i would not have him out there i would rather he was up front with someone other than peacock.imo its time we dropped peacock if not only for the kick up the ass factor that it might give him.

drop Peacock, for who? he is the only player we have who can win flick ons and hold the ball up

I would question Fola's defensive work, but at the moment J.Smith  can deal with everything that comes at him anyway.

Wingers main role is to attack and get crosses in. Shakes didnt do that yesterday and doesnt do it very often

Holgate. Simple.

Good shout, the problem is where? As a striker, the few times I've seen him play for the first team he hasn't really impressed. Although when we played Brentford and he was in the centre of midfield, he looked very good.

The only striker that hasn't really been given a chance up front is Rhodes. Peacock is the best attacker we've got at the moment and unfortunately, cos he hasn't got anyone of class working alongside him, a lot of the balls he wins are wasted. Also he tends to drift out wide because of the poor service from the flanks. The best crosser of the ball is Jack Smith and he's a defender!

To be honest Lincoln did'nt impress me that much at all. Nothing special.

I thought we were doing really well until we conceded and then things went down hill but nothing unusual there! I was expecting the worse from us, but we showed passion and grit and for that I was really proud. However I felt there was no way we should of lost. A point atleast. Thats the most frustrating thing ever, you play well and lose, don't really mind if we play crap and lose but that.....grr....ahwell!
I think we can get a result against hereford. I picked up on alot of positives yesterday. But unfortunately it just was'nt our day. The fans were ace. Brilliant atmosphere.

Brownlie looks to be our best finnisher from what Ive seen.

he hit some lad in the town end at half time with a shot at the open goal from the penalty spot.

for that reason alone spencer i beg to differ  :D

I saw that... Was going at some pace too.

Peacock and Fola played well but neither can score.

Shakes is the worst though, put it either side of him ffs! Don't hit it with no pace STRAIGHT at the goalkeeper you muppet!

that's the answer...

...if the question is "who could we bring into the team for a waste of time?"

why not give Holgate a go, he cant be any worse that what we've got.

We have one right winger and the club and he's pants...

Isn't Rhodes the best finisher we have according to the staff? Get him up front.

Agree with your point. He his always start on the bench. I had this conversation with my dad during half-time on saturday.

Wouldn't call it a waste of time myself.  On the evidence of the Brentford game Holgate is willing to get stuck in to the opposition, and not affraid to beat a man, look up and play a decent ball.   His distribution is good, so why not?  He'd win his fair share of headers aswell - much like Monkey on the left hand side.
