Just when it appeared there were some grounds for optimism..................yet another false dawn?   I feel sorry for the away fans, having to pay money to travel, and   watch our "Team"?

Why would anyone be "confused" by that observation  Northern Red?

Really poor defensively yet again, plenty on here seem to see the problem as Zak Vyner, well it certainly can’t be today.

The problem is we’re consistently inconsistent currently, which is to be expected with such a young team.

I think at this point all we've proven is that we cannot play in this formation. Whilst we've improved going forward we don't have the quality at the back to play with 3 central defenders, we get pulled all over the place and we never look confident in our defending at all.

I think what ever formation we play we’re shit at the back!

Comical, clown like performances week in week out from our defence. Is this what we have to accept under Pearson is it?

Anyone see any type of improvement defensively under Pearson? Why not? Is he and his coaches that inept?

 

I don't think there's a lot of doubt that we have regressed defensively since Bentley was dropped. Not that we were that great previously either.

Wondering what excuses NP will come up with this time? Lots of sighs of exasperation?   Well he picks the team, so it is   .... up to him to come up with solutions, getting a little fed up with his curt responses?

I'm still very much in his camp but he can't keep repeating that we have to stop conceding so many goals while failing to find any kind of solution.

This has turned real ugly. We didn't start badly and I don't think 2-0 ht was a fair score line. This half we we committed the cardinal sin of conceding early which pretty much put the game to bed. Defensively we are so bad it's comical. 1 point from 9 against teams like Luton, Preston and Blackpool, regardless of on field performances it'd the results that count unfortunately

Flapper O’Leary. He really isn’t the answer. 

Agreed, he's had an extended opportunity to show what he can do and unfortunately for Max he has not proven himself to be a competent Goalkeeper at the level so far. Fine with his feet but you do have to make saves, take crosses, communicate and organise a back 4 too.

I'm sorry to say but Scott has been awful today and doesnt look interested

He may not have been great but he's probably our greatest prospect and at his age cannot be expected to be a revelation every game. To say he he doesnt look interested is just plain wrong on every level.

Fine with his feet? So is Louis Spence!
