Tonight Bayliss made at least two runs into space ahead of him when Haynes was taking throw-ins, but he takes so long to decide, Bayliss was quickly closed down and marked.

Didn't we say that at the end of last season?

Agree. Thought he did well in the first half, but then did look like a boy lost in the second.

Yeah, think I just about agree with all of that, so won't even bother posting my own ratings. Doyle was head and shoulders above every other player in sky blue tonight.

I think it was the wrong sub to make and he should have stayed on the field. Him and Doyle were the only ones giving us any kind of physicality.

Same problems. Still making a pigs ear of our throw ins and our corners again were very poor tonight and like you say, our kickoffs are a joke.

He's going to change it I'm sure. Would not be at all surprised to see Willis and Rod dropped and Davies and Hyam in. Think Haynes may well be dropped too and I would expect Reid in on the left. Think there may be 5 or 6 changes on Saturday easily.

Doyle and JCH.

He was saying we weren't strong enough after initial headers had been won by their forwards. He accepted that they may well win the ball in the air, but said we needed to be much stronger and much better trying to win that second ball after the knock down.

It was. I loved it. He was venting his spleen, but well reasoned and said he was really really angry with the players.

He said he was really angry and talked about bringing new players in the summer unless this lot pulled their fingers out. He was really, really seething and especially in respect of the second ball situation. Was slating Grimmer and Rod and Willis. Pretty much everybody actually.

I think Robins made a mistake in not playing Davies tonight. He would surely have made a better fist of handling Rhead. Just heard Robins on the radio. Glad he is so seething. It simply was amateurish.

I hate to see it, I really do and I would be exactly the same if it was us. That's not football and they are clearly better than that. :(

Just don't know how that 4th goal got past Burge. Some terrible defending tonight. Awful.

Nailing my flag to the mast here. We are just not good enough. I still think we will make the playoffs, but we are going to need a hell of a lot of luck to get to the final. The defence has now become shocking, an accident waiting to happen. We are also being out-muscled by teams regularly...

You get the feeling that if we do make the playoffs we will just crumble and probably end up with a 2-7 aggregate score.

He's been pretty good coming forwards though, I'll give him that.

He has had a very poor game tonight. He just isn't strong enough and is quite often targeted by the opposition.

Agree.

Game has passed him by.
