Another academy lad coming through.

3 1 down and the boss waits till 85 mins to make any changes very odd

Ah well just Afc Wimbledon and Chesterfield next

[Keith]

Poor for most of the game today. Stupid penalty to give away in the first minute. Caught in possession far too often and frequently misplacing simple passes (something we've been doing all season). Other than the penalty, we started brightly, and we had a period on top in the second half, but really, not good.

We can't afford to have 'off days'.

[Redalert1970]

Like I've said Keith we are in massive trouble ..the Barrow win seems a distant memory

[Angler1]

If think we need to accept this team isn't good enough for this league. This is the poorest tem I've seen in 20 years.

[twosheds]

Can someone explain why Dackers was on the field...he looked so lethargic...

[Redalert1970]

Careful Angler that's negative lol lol

I totally agree though !!

[Angler1]

It's just my opinion. I don't blame the players or the management team. The problem lies with the owner and it's quite obvious that he has no intention of selling the club..it's sad but it's almost like he wants the club to fail..

[BerlinWaller]

We had our moments but we were punished by a good side. Their attacking movement was quality in the first half and they dominated the middle of the pitch. You can't say that we didn't compete and cause them problems which is pretty much all you can ask from the players. We can't rotate, the bench is weak and most of our best players are sat in the stands. I know the majority on here like to moan from afar but you have to put some context on the situation.

I thought he put a proper shift in and got nothing from the Ref. My only worry is that we are getting a bit predictable with him.

Totally agree. Marcus Dackers should be nowhere near a Shrimps pitch. Slow, lethargic and most passes into open space instead of to a player. D.A. should have made the subs at least 20 mins earlier, no way to get 2 goals in 10 mins. Our only real saving complaint, yet again the ref was dire. Take your shirt off for a celebration and get an automatic yellow. Dackers virtually got his shirt taken off for him and the ref did nothing....Dire.

[Redalert1970]

Not moaning from afar just stating facts ...

Yes we can blame the owner for most things but for mis placed passes , poor defending , missed chances and poor / too late subs are down to players and management no one else

I will support the team till the day I die what ever league we are in ... do I like seeing us bottom NO but bigger clubs than us have been there

Maybe not moaning but my word you are a very negative supporter. I clicked on your prediction for Tuesdays game and saw even more negativity. I'm not knocking you as you are entitled to support in whichever way you see fit but you must enjoy the misery!

I really hope the fans at the games stick with the team. Now isn't the time to turn against Derek or the lads, we have to rally behind them more than ever! It's not easy and we all want to see us win but we need to support these lads.

[Redalert1970]

7 points from 36 ...sorry but can't find much too be positive about

You and others can call me negative as much as want but I'm saying what a lot of other fans are thinking

Look at other social media posts and you will see it's not just me

Yeah it's sad to see such negativity. Nobody wants to be struggling but even you must accept that we are competing against teams despite being run in to the ground by an owner. We all get down and we all want to do better but the joy you take in it reminds me of the Peter Kay line "where do you get your kicks, the Childrens ward?"

All we can do is support and cheer these lads on. If you get that fed up of it, stick your Leeds shirt on for a bit.

[Redalert1970]

Not falling out with you or anyone else just having my own opinion

Hey ho off too work

Grave digger?

Nobody wants to fall out with anybody, quite the opposite. I want us all behind the team and battling our way to league 2 survival.

There are times when one has to reluctantly admit that our lads were beaten by a far superior team who played with confidence thanks to such an early goal but also who were precision in their passing and interlink of their game. They showed us exactly how it should be done but remember this is a squad tha has been assembled costing well over £1 million.

Also yet again the referee ignored some blatant shirt pulling and illegal holding of Dackers throughout the game. Maybe it's a new EFL directive that allows a player to be man handled and stopped from playing.

Also the 3 minutes of extra time doesn't feel right as we had 4 subs on the field and MK had4 on as well.

Normally that should mean 30 seconds per sub which should have been a minimum of 4 minutes PLUS
stoppage time when players went down and the ref stopped play.

We huffed and puffed but we just couldn't cope with their movement through out the game.

Now it's not that often that I've been critical of DA this season but not to use a single sub until 6 minuts to go is poor and by the expressions of our Assistant manger he looked totally frustrated with so little action from DA.

A very bad day at the office but we have a chance to rectify the situation at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday. Just hope that we don't give such an early goal away AGAIN for us to build on a better start from our squad.

Shocking start

0 1

If you're actually watching. You'd know that that's not a penalty in a million years

You would also know our keeper should not be going out there, player going away from our goal and a defender with him.

[Billy bodger]

For goodness sake. Really poor. We've given possession away cheaply a few times already in the first five minutes of the second half.

Tollitt gave the ball away too cheaply again. To light weight in midfield for me.

A really mixed bag for Stu Moore today. Made some very good saves, kicking was poor, didn't come for any crosses and was at fault for the pen.

[Old Man Kensey]

Clear pen, which was right in front of me. Terrible in the middle of the park today. Better team won.

Context:- we have a quality crosser of the ball, I bet some teams will be watching him with green eyed envy.
I have plenty of negatives which are quite clear to see and they should not be glossed over, but I will give you three at todays match:- A) Weak in the tackle in midfield, B) weak in the passing of the ball, C) lack of pace in lots of areas of the team.
I could go on but why moan? it is what it is and if we don’t play well we will get turned over and yes I agree it all stems from our owner, who seems hell bent on destroying our club, so everything else is a struggle against that starting position.
Finally it’s still comparatively early and i still believe it can be turned around.
Oh and at the match today, at home, I don’t expect to have to apologise to the friend I took along for our performance today, we have played much better here at the Mazuma, it was disappointing.

[BerlinWaller]

Why did you apologise? It's football, nothing is a given.

[Billy bodger]

Why did you apologise? It's football, nothing is a given.

I suppose I may have also been apologising for my wrong analysis of the team, I do like to think I was in some tiny little way right?
