On the TEF is that even measurable? 

Its pretty low on the TEF scale. You haven't even deleted your account yet.

In the grand scheme of things I know its always bad for me to post after defeat. I moan. Its my therapy.

Its compounded this year as last season I was very much give them until January/Wilson will sort it we won't get relegated ....

[Notts red]

If Lanzano gets injured we'll be calling on Evans then to fill the void.

I do have another account in reserve though 

We sit 11th with 3/4 of the season left I'm ok at the moment.

If we are in touch at Christmas its good enough for me. But I'll still moan after we lose.

I could count the number of headers and second balls we won tonight on one hand. Magera, Devera and Comazzi, for their size, do not win enough. This cost us the goals tonight, although they were the other end of the ground, both seemed to stem from our inability to deal with a high ball.

I'm not convinced by the two centre halves - I've only seen 2 other games this season - but Comazzi couldn't seem to turn, whilst Devera gave their top two room to turn and play the ball far too often.

Magera for his effort failed to get the ball to stick as often as he should, whilst again he couldn't win a header. When he did he was too far from Kerrouche/Jervis for it to be worthwhile. Personally I would've liked to have seen Kerrouche play the whole game, he was more threatening than Magera. But he also headed straight at the keeper when he should've done better.

In the first half their keeper made two good saves which kept them in it - I think from De Vita - but they also went close on one occasion, again stemming from a ball into our box. Second half was really poor, they lump it forward and we look to play through Ritchie. Ferry seemed to get on the ball, alongside McCormack, who both seemed to do alright, spreading the play whenever possible. But there was little cutting edge. At times we played some good football, but not really getting anywhere, either the final ball letting us down or we tried to play the wrong ball.

Once we didn't get the penalty, you knew we weren't getting anything. Fair play to those who made the trip, but the atmosphere was shit. Overall, I thought it was average we didn't take the couple of chances we did have in the first half, whilst they managed to take the two they had in the second - although defensively they were poor goals to give away. Roll on Accrington...

I have not yet seen Commazi have a good game yet. I don't know why flint was not partnering Devera and why he was not even in the squad despite coming on last week, unless he has agrevated an injury. Both keepers aren't great but Loranzo seems to drop the ball too much. I have noticed this more during the match warms ups where as smith seems not too be as good with the ball on the ground. The only positive I can take from this is that is sounds like the new players on loan looked reasonable and the fact that the more we loose away from home then the closer we must be getting to pdc realising that he should not medal with the team as often as he is doing. Doesn't sound like Megera had a great game.

In short I have gone to almost all of the home games and listened to all of the away games on the radio. I cant believe what I hear on the radio it sounds like a different team to the one I am watching at the county ground. I hope we turn this around soon as it is becoming a significant problem. Also I am worried some of these players that we have brought in are on two year deals and we will be stuck with them longer than many of us would wish for.

Oh well looking forward to Hereford. Although I wish we had another league game away as it is about time we out this away Jinx behind us and the sooner the better!

[Kinky Tom]

just got back and up for work early so will keep this short...

i know this gets said all the time but that ref was truly diabolical, utter crap.  i'd say in the top three worst i've ever seen and how he and his assistant couldn't come to the conclusion that it was a pen and a sending off is so far beyond me it's untrue.

wasn't just that one either he was dog shit all game and seemed to make most of his decisions based on the macc fans' reactions

as for us, again we should have taken our chances first half and put the game beyond them.  as it was the game would have been at worst a draw or a win to us if the ref had eyes.

[Crispy]

Just got home. Managed to get 8 pint tinnies of Stela for £10 and 60 disposable shots between 7 of us went down all right

[Hammer]

Hmmmm!!  First post in a long while and I think I know why. Reading some of the comments on here during/post match I have to check that I haven't actually logged on to Thisis. How quick some people are to judge without witnessing the events first hand. Having said that, two guys stood behind me moaned incessantly throughout the game, were eventually reprimanded at the final whistle, whereby a short scuffle & fisticuffs ensued.
First half we didn't play badly and certainly shaded it. Comazzi and Magera were anonymous in a half which saw us have chances which we couldn't capitalise on. Second half, we looked a bit lost for 20 minutes then continued to press despite conceding two goals. Then the hoofball commenced. I don't know what to make of Jervis, he tried but was largely ineffective as was Magera, who, I will admit did actually head the ball a few times. As for the 2nd and 3rd substitutions I'm left wondering if we have an obligation to play Jervis and Ridehalgh. I can't see why either Kennedy or Kerrouche were taken off...they both had reasonable games. Replace Magera by all means but please give Connell a shout before he becomes disillusioned. We did generally play quite well but it was the same old story. They took their chances and scored. We didn't, had to suffer another bad ref and didn't get the rub of the green. And so on to the next game.....

 Let's face it, not really a surprise that we lost to Macc.....my hope for the season was to be competitive at home, which we are, so all good. 

[Ironside]

well fuck me sideways.

A positive post from Reg.

[DV]

Last seasons top 7 lost between 8 and 13 games all season.

We've already lost 6. Stating the fucking obvious but we need to stop these away defeats even if it means playing with shit spoiler 451 pack the middle tactics and getting a 0-0 draw.

[stfcinbmth]

Barring injury, why change a winning side Paolo? I'm disappointed

[brocklesby red]

Kennedy was'nt subbed but Mageera certainly should of been,he was cumbersome and won very little good ball in the air that we could use.When we brought Jervis on ,it looked as though they were too similar although Jervis seems to have some pace. One long ball over the top takes out 3 defenders and then Chuckle Brothers defending for the second.

I was at the game as it's one of my forever diminishing north west fixtures.. Probably all been said but we bossed the 1st half without hammering them. Their keeper made what looked like 2 good saves up the other end and we were unfortunate not be ahead.

2nd half they just seemed to want it more, one most of the 50/50's and any they didn't the ref gave their way anyway. We were undone by 2 long balls, the 2nd coming just after the penalty incident. I found it very difficult to control my emotions at the non penalty. Keeper didn't try to take him out but he did catch him, Ritchie tries his best to stay up but by the time he's found his feet defenders are on him and it's a tame shot. The ref had a perfect view of it and bottled it, I guess because he's have had to send the keeper off. It was a shocking decision.

There does seem to be an arrogance though about the team and the fans. A kind of 'we're too good for this shite league' and both expect the goals to just come. Our away support was shite and the teams desire was shite.

We should still be there or there abouts come May but we need to get a grip
