So so so disappointing and frustrating. Hard to know where a goal is coming from. Play offs look on another planet.

Kemp should be NL and nowhere near the 1st 11
Wingers needed!
Miss James & Theo’s crosses
Miss James long throws
No service for 2 boys up front = No goals
Anyone got the stats since James got injured and when James & Theo have not been in the team?

Not created a proper chance in the last two home games, that’s the worrying stat.

That's just about the end of our season.

I agree. Without Archibald and James in the side we’re not the same . Without the service Drinin and Smith are isolated. KJ needs a major rethink. We still have have enough points on the table to play for to get into the play offs but at this moment in time things are slipping away

James and Archibald aren’t here.

So get back to the attacking 4-3-3 we started the season with.

Yep. No clue why Jackett is persisting with three centre backs and Wood who is pants going forward at home.

We’ve just brought in four new players and all but one has played and it hasn’t changed a thing. We’re badly missing James and Archibald . Without those two players we’re not the same team.

We are a bang average, lower middle league 2 side at the moment, and that's all we'll ever be unless this board of directors grow some balls
and start believing in this bloody club.

Sorry we can seriously forget about Playoffs, absolutely no chance. We are nailed on for bottom 5 on current form.
Can’t see where next goal is coming from let alone next point.
Next 2 games, nailed on defeats.
Mansfield (A) 7th
Bradford (A) 11th

To be fair, the 3 CBs are our most consistent performers so I get the reluctance to break them up.

Why KJ keeps playing Kemp is a mystery, he needs to be loaned out to NL team like Daggers

Yep, but we need players further forward at home when teams are less open. Wood doesnt do much offensively at all.

He’s not got much choice.

I agree, he’s proving to be a massive disappointment, typical Ling midfield signing.

Wood is a FB, not a WB, same as Moss.
Both good in a back 4 playing FB.

This was such an important game but yet another mediocre performance.
I think that our season is virtually over as you cannot see this team putting together a winning run, in fact I can't see where the next win is coming from.
We need a minimum of 4 points from the next 2 matches- no chance of that on the evidence of tonight.
Make no mistake this is a significant failure on KJ's part if we don't challenge for the play offs.

Pratley was dropped rather than injured, confirmed in Jackett's post game interview

He probably sees it , but who else goes back there ?

What is the reason then? - if all the current players are league 1 standard or have the potential to be classified that in the future season or so by our transfer committee

What does league 1 standard mean ?
They are playing in league 2
Jobi Macduff was PL standard & with the greatest of respect he was nowhere near PL standard with us due to his age .

Our problem isn't a transfer committee
Our problem if it is a problem is building steadily to improve year on year instead of
Trying to placate impatient fans who want budgets smashed & immediate success
which will put us in even bigger trouble long term.

The current formation is forced on us due to injuries
Keep up fella

And it clearly isn't working, so maybe it is time to try something else.

But not 442 as RE tried that last year & we got ripped to shreds & didn't average more than 1 shot on goal most games

Remember ?
