I thought we looked better when we took the game to SW at the end, hope we don't give Bolton too much respect on Saturday, we really need the wins now !

nice to have you back Keith

Completely agree. We are better when we drive forward and give other teams something to worry about.

Can't understand why we took a winger off for a defender especially when the new lad is supposed to be a speed merchant. Also noticed that the away goals in the last 2,games were after the new defender came in. No doubt a coincidence

We looked better in the second half with the 3-5-2 shape we switched to. Extra CB to step out into pockets of space in front of the backline, also facilitated for Ayunga to be closer to Stockton after he was a bit isolated at times with our wingers defending so deep. 4-3-3 is the way forward for this side, but that 3-5-2 can still be handy thing to switch to.

I can see the link between with Bennett for the Accrington goals, but not fair to put any real blame on him given the circumstances. He hadn't met any of his teammates until that day, and once he found his feet he was pretty imperious in the second half. Any link between Wednesday's goals and Bennett is nonsense. First one was a 25 yarder, and the second one was in stoppage time when we had lots of numbers up the pitch.
