We shouldn’t have tried to get cute by playing a bunch of kids and half fit reserves. Put the first team out and we win that. It’s second game of the season it’s not like they’re knackered already.

Il be honest I'd rather play the reserve /squad players tonight as I don't players who are not 100% match fit yet get tired in midweek

Jones was understandably tentative to take his man on but he was the only one who showed some movement and bravery to get on the ball. I know no one has had a full pre-season and he is young but I was disappointed with Reid.

Spot on. Don’t think we will be seeing the Jones that skipped past players for fun at league 2 level for a while. What he did with the ball tonight was good. Kept it moving but needed more movement in front of him.

Reid offered us nothing. Didn’t run into space when he had the ball and offered nothing going forward. Needs a loan.

Oh well. At least we're still 5th in the league. Saw this earlier which made me chuckle.

They aren't obviously but that's football , worse teams sometimes win matches because the team with better players were shite

This!

Teams lose to weaker teams all the time. Doesn't mean they can't be arsed. Doesn't mean there's some ulterior motive. Doesn't mean they are all of a sudden shitter than the other team.

That's literally football. It's a game, there isn't a predetermined outcome based on ability of each team.

The only one who had never played a pro game was Howley, Drysdale and Reid must have 50 appearances combined?

Get him off the books

Thought Bright did alright tonight actually. Not so much in the final third but he held the ball infinitely better tham the others.

Positives is Jones did a full 90mins with Rose and Bright building up fitness. Walker gets a goal.

I think the players that have been mentioned tonight as being shit are the same ones most here said last season. Don’t think there is any shock there. These aren’t our first choice players and provide some depth to the squad (even if not the best). Until some of these players are moved on we can’t afford to replace with better.

I think the host said he had worked with him before? Seemed very skeptical of Bright.

Well it tends to happen because we don't tend to take it remotely seriously. Still owe Aidy Boothroyd one for that memorable evening in Morecambe with a 16 year old JCH and Michael McIndoe in central midfield

Yep. We had some poor sod (Iain Turner?) debuting in goal and the team consisting of kids, fraudsters and misfits lost 2-0.
