Why does Chem Campbell not chase the ball down harder always half hearted

Great idea to play your remaining striker on the bench.

Such a soft goal to concede. Been a fairy even game, but very lightweight as usual.

I think Wareham will come on fairy early in the second half. We’ve struggled to retain the ball up top.

Maintain we should go back to the 4-2-3-1 we had last season in situations like this.

Funnily enough, when your only clear first team forwards are unavailable, you're going to struggle to score.

Stevenage are a tough, physical and organised side, exactly the sort we struggle against.

Wareham is just going to get isolated and bullied by big CBs.

One bizarre thing at half-time. Someone lobbed their phone onto the pitch - looks like an iPhone Pro Max!

Dorsett’s coming on.

The line just isn't very good for L1. Camara is inexperienced, Garcia is a 16 year old left back, Knibbs is not a striker, Craig is not a RB. We have some good players like Bindon and Wing, but a few injuries and the squad is simply exposed. Is it surprising that we concede from crosses given the FBs?

At least our next away trip is only Peterborough; nothing to fear there if today is anything to go by.

On the other hand, our record there when I don't go is pretty darn good.

Looks like we`re dominating, but if you don`t have strikers you don`t score.

If you judge Campbell by goals and assists output, he's doing just fine. Feels like he's already becoming an escaped goat.

Good to see Ahmed doing well. Specialised RB could allow Craig as DM away. Add in Dorsett's return and Smith likely being available and we're in good shape - who knows where Abrefa is though.

Problem is the next 2 games are tough. Today was winnable and we probably should have done based upon the 2nd half.
