Very odd to only make one change and then delay subs. Surely fresh legs at the back with either Binks or Kitching. Add then to get Torp off earlier. Lucky to get a point from 10 men.

The only players that can come out with some credit are Latibeudiere, Bidwell and Rudoni. Our midfield 3 and Sakamoto have done nothing. Van Erwijk is riddled with mistakes. Get Allen on for Torp or Bassette on the left with Rudoni replacing Torp. Individually we have been so poor, it is hard...

Dovin did well cutting out that cross. Collins would have stayed on his line

We have had some woeful whole team performances this season but this is right up there. Torp looks like he has never played football before. Van Erwijk shocking again. Sheaf and Eccles still hungover. Sakamoto yet to touch the ball.

Unfortunately it will take a massive shift for Simms to get close to top form. He's so far away at the moment. Although the boost of starting may help. I know it is not popular, but I would have Thomas-Asante as the front man and Bassette on the left. I think the latter is far more suitable for...

Anyone going? If so, have you received your tickets? I am not able to but did buy one for myself and my Dad.

In terms of play offs I believe it is over given the lack of points gained v poor teams. In terms of the longer term, it isn't over. There is so much to work on and my hope is we can gradually demonstrate an ability to show some consistency and that we can get some break through players or form...

Fair enough

Just out this afternoon after 7 days. Come out with a liver issue now too. Hopefully it will all sort itself out over the next few weeks. Thanks for asking and remembering.

I had to watch the match on my phone so really difficult to pick out individual performances. However, what was apparent to me was how committed we were to the 50:50s in the second half. That was far different to what we were seeing early season under Robins. They really did dig in. It wasn't...

Unfortunately missing it, being stuck in hospital. If Mason-Clark is out, then I would either have Rudoni on the left and Torp in behind, or Bassette on the left with Thomas-Asante up top. Him over Simms because of the energy he brings and he is better centrally.

Dovin 7 - I really think he will be a very good keeper. Very comfortable with the ball at his feet but not casual (as is Collins). His save in the first half was top draw. Van Erwijk 7 Thomas 7 Latibeudiere 8.5 (uses his body so well. An intelligent footballer) Bidwell 7.5 Sheaf 8 Eccles 9...

Good question. I always go by the rating from the old match magazine where a 4 was the lowest score you can get (very poor) so that is my lowest rating. However Collins didn't justify that, hence the 3

Managed to watch the match with a burst appendix. Not sure what was worse. Now had appendix removed so hopefully get back home to watch Plymouth game. Could really do with a comfortable performance

Everything he does is casual. It is as if he isn't being paid as a professional. More like having a kick about with his mates. Absolutely cruising until his derisory attempt for first goal. However, the rest of the team needed to step up and instead they crumbled.

Maybe enforce the sub keeper to come on for a minimum period of time. If the keeper is genuinely injured, then it can classed as a substitution. Although the manager could still use this to break up play and communicate tactics, they are less likely to risk disrupting the team.

When you're trusted, it makes a difference. Really pleased for him.

There are definitely some improved performances. Mason-Clark was excellent and Rudoni very good too. Thomas was solid. Sakamoto good. And though I am his biggest critic, Collins pulled two very good saves.
