Millsy Yeah if only we had someone in midfield who could stamp some authority, win some balls eh.

No..its not about winning it. Its about.showing for it and passing. The problem is when we have the ball ffs.


That too. Problems in every aspect tbf.

Poor system? Communication? Training? Attitude?

Seems like Exeter want it more.

Abbey's passing is unbelievably bad.

Yeah Abbey is not a footballer. An athlete maybe but his passing is pub league level.

Vickers has done a couple of decent tricky things that have created moments out of nothing.

He's been our breakout star of the season ffs. If he's not great with the ball at his feet, it's up to his team mates to make themselves available.

Unfortunately agree with this, he can defend but you don’t want him trying to bring it out, he’s hopeless at that. The defence are the issue here, they are just slowing everything up.

That's one of Vicker's weaknesses. He dabs stuff off all the time and it just dribbles well short of what is needed.

He literally misses passes to people standing in bags of space with noone around them.

Yeah, his pace gets him out of trouble, but he's made plenty of mistakes, and he can't play an accurate long ball to save his life.

Half the time his long pass doesn't go within 20 yards of a Reading player.

Think the optimism from a few good results is wearing off. This is miles off the Lincoln, Wigan and Peterborough performances, as was Cheltenham.

Again as Parj would say, but more crosses in, goals will come.

Our crosses have been largely crap but eventually something will come of it.

As does the whole team. Product of the managers style of play.

To be honest, even the 'good' performances were pretty rubbish football masked by some cracking breaks and goals.
