Orion1871 Get Glen Little into the club to teach these lads how to put a ball into the box.


While we're at it, get Ian Harte in to teach them how to take free kicks.

Think there's a bit of an over reaction going on here. We're not that bad.

We're paying a bit from players out of position and Ehib not getting enough minutes recently.

Elliott looks uncomfortable on the left, Mbengue not a RB, Knibbs not involved, Mola not a CB.

And our goalscorers with minutes in their legs aren't playing.

We need to stop going for the top corner and just get a couple firmly on target and see how the keeper does.

Is this story of our season so far in a half? Decent-ish outside of both boxes but basically useless inside them.

Awful goal to concede, Carson caught well out of position initially and then Holmes not covering the front post to block that ball across the 6-yard box and Mbengue napping.

Weak on the left side, absolutely nothing offered there, our threat is down the right. But poor in the oppositions box as moments before Savage's challenge on Maguire, Mbengue knocked a great ball in the box and Kelvin E is 3/4 yards away where he should be busting a gut to get across the front post there like all good strikers with goalscoring instincts do.

These are difficult ties, so won't read into it too much. But we look decent in the middle third, soft at the back and lacking cutting edge up front which is not a good combination. Rustiness definitely a factor for Mbengue and Ehib, but perhaps Mola and Savage are just not very good.

He's useless no matter the opposition. Waste of a signing.

Which is mostly fine, because all our first team regulars are in the middle third.

Selles clearly wants us out of the competition. Noone in their right mind would have picked this team.

Never mind foregoing your wages Selles. Should've put your first team out to try and get through to the next round, and get the staff paid with the prize money.

I agree with giving players a chance tbf. I'd have gone Vickers over Azeez and Dean over Mola, but not much difference.

It's very similar to the teams he's been playing in the cup.

Do you ever think before you post?

Selles has got the team selection wrong yet again. Really should have stuck with the side that beat Carlisle esp. as there's no league game in midweek. The team need to develop their understanding and build confidence and not have any run disrupted with a lacklustre display like this.

It's still a team that should be good enough to overcome Eastleigh, most of the players have featured plenty of times this season.

If Smith or Wing had gone down with a big injury, we'd all be calling it Selles' stupidest decision ever to pick them. And we'd be right.

yeah.

I mean I don't think he's got the team selection right, and he's an idiot. But we absolutely shouldn’t be risking our key players.
