Losing Kone is a major part of the problem.

The other problems:

1. we’ve lost impetus by playing at Skura at right back given how we look to attack from full back positions. The returns of Pattenden or even Grimmer should sort this.
2. Lack of a Morley. Hopefully Simmonds is the answer.
3. Having a pre-game plan of attacking subs around the hour mark. “the finishers” made us a real threat in second half. No idea what the second half plan was today.

The three problems I’ve identified can hopefully be sorted easily.

The Kone problem can’t. Sadly we don’t know how long he is out for as the club seem to be a bit secretive on this (suggesting bad news) and his fitness does not seem to have been addressed in pressers.

I’d go a step further and say all football fans are vermin. BFK.

Ainsworth and Bloomfield didn’t take over teams in second.

But in any case, it isn’t Dodds who has just signed a shedload of players who aren’t ready to contribute to our promotion battle.

Wycombe has ALWAYS had vermin fans. BWK James.

You have this completly wrong in my opinion . I think a lot of fans considered that he was not going to change from what we had done up until Bloomfiled left . I certainly didn't consider he would be thinking our performances and style since Bloomfleld left (and under caretaker managers) were what he was going to maintain . This has been a pale shadow as to how we were and was a slide back yo longball football .Today was a carbon copy of that .As far as the new signings go there has been a consistant confusion as to why they are not more involed for weeks now . This hasn't suddenly appeared since todays game. As for calling your fellow fans "vermin" for expressing opinions that you don't agree with I think you need to calm down a bit pal .

Losing Kone is disappointing but not the problem - Udoh led the line well, held the ball up well, scored a goal. The problem comes with the style of play and poor performing personnel further back.

Dodds needs to show he gets it and this sort of performance is not acceptable. A major step up required on Tuesday. There were plenty of questions over his ability to pick a team and exert control from his Sunderland days. He needs to answer some of those questions soon or suggestions we picked the wrong man will only amplify.

Wow

Yes today wasn't great and I do think we got it wrong tactically in the second half by letting them ruffle us and us resorting to hoofball. I also think our midfield ran out of ideas around 55-60 minutes & Simmons should have been put on for Leahy then. I also felt we persevered with Fred & GMac for too long & they should have been subbed earlier.

Whilst it wasn't great, most importantly we didn't lose.

Our form hasn't been great since before Xmas with us averaging around 1.5 pts per game, which isn't going to be good enough long term, thankfully our earlier form was significantly better & we can hopefully get back to that with the resources we have available.

We have had mid season blips before & no doubt will again, but mostly we bounced back - fingers crossed we do so again.

I genuinely think we will, at worst, make the playoffs, at best we will hang on to 2nd spot. The run in is going to be nail biting not just for us but everyone from 2nd to at least 8th.

Some wild opinions knocking about tonight. Might have added to it a bit myself by saying the 2nd half was shit.

end of the day though, I’m 100% sure the complaints aimed at Dodds this evening were also aimed at Gaz and Blooms in there first weeks/months (especially in regards to subs)

the 2nd half was shit, but people need to chill a bit. It was still a point away from home at a team that’s scored 6 in there previous 2 and fighting for there lives.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Dan and Eduard are at the wheel. I'm sure they know what they're doing.
