5 to go so I may be proved wrong but. Dominant for 20 and didn't score. A bizarre sub at half time taking off Dobson- who was far and away our best player and replacing him with Putnam (who had a mare tbf) and the enforced sub of James cost us today. We lacked width today 1st half we were one sided after Dobson came off we were zero sided.

Very disappointing performance and result. Too many 5-6 out of 10 players today. Didnt really create anything after the first 20 minutes and i think we have a big problem as the lack of creativity and ultimately the inability to convert a chance is very quickly sinking us down the table. We need to turn things around very quickly otherwise all this talk of winning leagues and promotion will be beyond us. Quite a bit this season for the last couple of months we have stuttered and faultered but managed to turb things around quickly, now all of a sudden 3 league defeats in a row, 2 of which to teams that will be challenging around the top of the table mean we are now out of the play off places and needing now to wi our games in hand to make a big difference, the problem is we dont look like doing that at the moment. As i said at the beginning, very disappointing.

Yep totally agree with all of that. We started brightly well on top and didn't take our chances. The difficulty is we are no longer keeping clean sheets so always need at least two goals.

 

Webby is not a natural on the right hand side and keeps stepping in meaning we lose the right flank and Sean overlapping.

 

The substitution at half time baffled me. When I saw Lewis warming up I assumed Webb was to be replaced (not because he was poor) but just so we had two out and out wingers.

 

This month looked very tough on paper but to lose our two home games now means we are struggling to hang onto the play offs.

 

Desperately need to bounce back and win a couple of huge away games now. We are capable. COYR

I was also baffled with the half time sub. Feel a bit for Dobbo as he was having an 'alright' game. It seems if he isn't lighting the pitch on fire he is very quickly sacrificed for Putts, who hasn't had the best of seasons to date (can cut him a little slack as an earlier injury has probably played a part in this). Need to put this bad run to bed sooner rather than later.

Left feeling very frustrated and concerned all the good work of the first 20 games is slowing being undone and we're in real danger of missing out on the play-offs if this form continues for much longer. Problem when we're flying is expectation levels naturally rise and now we'd all be disappointed if we finish 6th, whereas given that at the start the vast majority would have been delighted! Tuesday has to be a win if we want to keep our play offs hopes alive especially with Leamington after that. Difficult decision as to whether you bring in more players or keep faith with what you have?

It'll just be galling and really hard to take after being top 2 for so long to then let it slip away even though a top 10 finish is what we all hoped for after last season! But saying that we can still change this starting with a win on Tuesday hopefully injecting some confidence going into another massive game after.

Teams have sused us out and we are too nieve to change our play.

 

Coupled with some strange subs it looked like it was still panto time as two dames and panto horse came on as subs - ok Moone did alright but he cant/wont head and needs everything on a plate, Putman is so one footed and always runs into a blind alley and starts crying if the big boys take his dinner money, and as for Granger was it his first ever game of football?

 

Looks like it will be the same as last season - great first half of the season and then relegation form for the second.

 

Maybe the club should sell half season tickets at the begining of the season!

We're all no doubt annoyed about yesterday's game and our current form but we're still 6th. I personally think top spot is a step too far with our current squad but we're still in the mix for the play offs and have the advantage of the 2 games in hand but it doesn't need to be repeated that we need 4-6 points from them. Beat St. Neots and draw with Leamington and that'll be a great return after 4 consecutive defeats and hopefully we can build from there. As much I'm still down we certainly can't give up half way through the season when there's so much we as fans and players can still do.
