Funny old game, right! I thought AP was very poor yesterday.

I’m ok with his initial error in kicking the ball out. We know and expect that mistakes will be made from time to time like that. It’s the dropping an easy catch that got me.

I’m not a negative person and I am delighted with the way we are playing but it feels like we have lost games these past two weeks rather than remaining undefeated. I think it’s the manner in which we have dropped the points, through basic costly mistakes. I’m not suggesting we send Ward off to the salt Mines but it would not be unjust if JBA did drop him and try Ox. How many chances do you get? It’s unfortunate but goalie mistakes are the most costly and you can’t afford to continue having them. Ward has probably made the least amount of mistakes out of all the players but it’s such a unique position and the consequences much more severe when a mistake is made. Likewise, if Ox plays he should have the same accountability. Probably the fact that it’s cost us points 2 Weeks in a row amplifies the errors. Had they been, say 5 weeks apart, maybe there would be no talk of replacing him with Ox?

Did he play anywhere last season?

Ward is doing basic stuff with the ball at his feet. I’m pretty sure Ox could manage that and main thing is that he gives to one of our players then they can do the footy stuff.

Hopefully well before Xmas 😳

Definitely.

I Think Watt got hurt. Agree, would have kept TJ on and took AP off. I don’t think his subs today changed the flow of the game, we were still dominating but comes Down to basic error.

I didn’t see any foul.

They heard you were on holiday 😂

We need to improve up top (seems strange after scoring 5 goals in two games but I think it’s a fair comment) and in defence. Having said that, when you consider that we have dropped 4 points due to glaring errors, you have to say that our style of play is working. As mentioned in another post it’s the glaring errors that need to be fixed, not our style/tactics.

I think Cooke should be a good buy for us. Good to see Johnny K back playing. Longelo scoring again, excellent. International break should give Slattery some extra time to recover. Thought AP struggled today. Surprised he didn’t come off instead of TJ. Everyone else seemed to perform decent without being outstanding. Goalie didnt have much to do but cost us dearly with an absolute howler. JBA got two weeks to consider trying Ox. …….. but only two days to get a good centre back!!!

10 games unbeaten. However we need a winning streak! Hopefully JBA can get us there.

Well it is an improvement. Before we were never in the games, were pish to watch never had the ball and getting beat. Compare where we were to where we are and it’s better than I thought it would be. Goalie has cost us 4 points the last two games. So I get your point that we are still not winning games and we do need to start doing that. Is it as easy as putting Ox back in goals? Maybe.

Dreadful mistake. First with the pass then the drops is

Excellent goal. No more than we deserve.

I didn’t realize Slattery was injured. Hopefully not out for long

Is he back available for tomorrow’s game?

Correct! No easy games. We are certainly capable of taking 3 points but need to continue to play well and keep our focus for the full game, taking our chances when they come along.

Not really sure what intimidating atmosphere means. But I think the crowd should Channel the energy into backing the team. I think some people are of the opinion that the best think we can do to annoy SK is to ignore him but of course I’m sure there are many who want to have a go at him. You pay your money you take your choice. I’m just hoping our performance on the park keeps us us enthralled and that we have no time to even think about SK ‘cause we are enjoying watching our team so much

Yep. I’d say CB way top of the list. Maybe even the only one on the list so we can afford a good one.

Definitely think the fans should treat this as a normal game and forget/ignore SK being their manager. No banners, no songs, no abuse just focus on supporting our team. Let’s just get 3 points cause that’s really what matters. COYW!!!!!

Looks like BBC agrees with Record

We need another Kipre !

Thought it was only free agents and yes, from what I’ve seen it shuts at 7pm on Monday.
