Instead of lapping up everything that is being said to you, use your initiative.

He wasn't unfit. Mowbray said he may have had a bad injury previously, but those comments were excused straight afterwards when he said we signed Turnbull instead.

It's comments like that which he uses to try and stop the fans getting on his back, and it sadly works.

One suspension like this and we suddenly look fragile again, if he has other defenders lined up then fair enough, but i'd be surprised.

Use my initiative ? Oh so Mogga is now turning away quality players just to spite us ?

We need to work on this formation. Can't keep playing wing backs, I've never seen us consistently perform with wing backs

we need quality not quantity
we dont have enough quality - and that shows when Tudgay and Thomas are on the bench

Forgetting the other 2 strikers who were signed as well.

Yea we are, because we gave away a penalty and had a player sent off. Not because of the substitution.

I'm just saying surely we had more of a chance getting back into it with our dangerous looking striker still on the pitch

Somebody has questions to answer surely? We can't blame lack of strikers now.

Is it the formation? Is it the injuries?

What is it?

Yes, but that would have required the foresight to see we would give a way a penalty and get a man sent off.

He's turning away good players because either he hasn't got as much budget as people think, or because his brain isn't switched on enough to realise that our team is full of too many boys instead of men.

I said it's on Mowbray taking off our only goal threat and outlet before any of the above happened.

Should have been 4

RCC saves first shot, rebound falls to Marshall who dummies a shot, RCC falls for it, looks an open goal but out of nowhere DKE and Page appear diving across the line to stop the second shot going in

What a way to lose a game of football. That'll be Turnbull missing for 3 games and we're back in the same predicament we were this time last week at the back. This season is quickly turning into a fucking disaster. Ooooh lets wait until September. Fuck September.

We were looking comfortable until the red card, what questions has to be answered? No need to overreact to what up till the red card was an excellent performance.

Trying to hold on to the lead and park the bus with Tudgay I'd guess.

Mowbray's tactics. Since last Xmas Mogga has got it wrong in some many games. Tactics, team selection and substitutions.

At the moment I can't see any improvement since we finished last season.

Oh, I always thought a straight red was a 3 game ban irrespective of the offence. Not too bad then.

Overall I don't think our team is good enough, there's too many boys, not enough men.

I don't blame the players particularly, it's either the budget isn't what we think it is, or Mowbray's not utilised what he's got well enough.

Im going for the latter personally.

You know this season is going to be shit when even bloody Simon Gilbert says so...lol

It feels like it's going to be a loooong old season...
I have real concerns about the future of our club. Hope I'm wrong.
#PUSB #SkyBlues

.@ccfcfan weakest squad I can remember in my lifetime. Academy (club's lifeline) under threat. And deal to play at Ricoh up in 2018. Bleak.

It's one game, and the defence next week will just revert to the same backline that conceded once in 3 games. Bitterly disappointing, but still not panicking.

Btw what is our penalty conceded rate? I swear RCC has only saved about one.
