He played deep for us, with Scowen , our outstanding dm further forward, nobody could work out why for a few weeks until Morely started the spraying of passes and Scowen was keeping the ball in the opposition half with others attacking as well, was a joy to watch for a couple of months, no idea if we can do it without him or have to come up with something else.

Interesting to hear you say you think a transfer is still on, I assumed after that goal he'd now be sainted and untouchable with any suggestion of a sale career threatening for Evatt. Funny old game. Think people, including many on this forum forget we are shouting along and watching things happen and not much else.

Yep hopefully today isn't the day it turns against them, as it looked so positive before kick off.

Really hope they can get points in those next 2!!

If I may be so bold....

1) he was "miles" offside. Extraordinary that it wasn't given

2) worse than that, it was inside the area and should have been a penalty. Got kicked in the face (although, and I understand your point , he wants actually injured)

3. Utterly brainless. He got two yellow cards for more or less the exact same offence. Silly for the first one, downright moronic for the second. Skura is a far better footballer

Can't understand anyone criticising Bloomfield for his substitutions today, they were all spot on. And we played as well defending a lead with ten against eleven as I've ever seen us. Clear signs of having worked on that in training and each player knew exactly what to do. Hanlan and Kodua in particular did fantastically well

Such a shame we couldn't hold on. The feel good factor would have been through the roof. But overall far more to be happy with today than not

That equaliser was inevitable. Sitting back for the whole duration, I was surprised we did that, that is a very bitter pill to swallow.

I’m not angry with Hartridge, just bitterly disappointed. Plain amateur behaviour. He’s cost us three points, I’m pretty certain of that.

And taking Cam off made no sense when the red card game, given McLearly clearly wasn’t going to last much longer and Fred had another stinker (although to be fair to Fred, the service today was not great). But if the plan was to sit back and defend then I guess the Cam sub made sense, but he was really starting to make an impact after swapping with Josh.

Thought Gids was very positive, Grimmer and Harvie also had great games. Low a rock as always.

Big game on Tuesday now.

Did I misread this? Morley solely played as the deep player for us, so i'm not sure any of us would agree he's better further forward?

And in a slightly more true to form antagonistic post for the Hartridge fans.

Would you still like Tyla Dickinson in goal? Is Dave Wheeler still a suitable right winger? What about Daryl Horgan in the 10? Maybe Alex Pattison can do a job in midfield?

I think we should allow reasonable critique of our own players. I wouldn’t call them a donkey. I wouldn’t boo them or ridicule them in real life.

But this is an anonymous online forum that they likely don’t know exists. I will share my opinion on here as I like. I don’t think Hartridge is cut out for a team in the top 2 in League 1. I don’t even think he’d do a great job in the bottom four of this division. Please don’t make us out as subhuman for disagreeing with you. Opposing fans will surely never ever pick out Hartridge as one of our better players.

Fucking clueless

Agreed. Nothing to hold him to account for today but his inability to command the area is unquantifiable in terms of its ability to create unease in the defence.

I think the volume of set piece goals conceded attests to that.

I wouldn’t bother with Twitter Jonny, just morons on there and we all have them. To be fair Evatt as usual makes things difficult dropping Matete who’s been our best midfielder recently to accommodate Morley as the deep lying midfielder when we all know he’s far better further forward. For 80 minutes he was anonymous until Evatt brings on said Matete and moves Aaron forward where he can influence games, which of course he did. To be fair his goal was a little fortunate but we won’t complain other than we thought a defeat might finally put us out of our misery and be the end of Evatt but that buggers got more bloody lives than a cat. I don’t know where that leaves us with Morley now because your guys don’t seem to be inclined to get the cheque book out but if he keeps doing well Evatt might just have to accept he has to stay and has to play. I still think the balls entirely in your court and I’d be amazed if negotiations weren’t still going on.

Thought the first yellow was harsh?! He absolutely wiped the guy out having arrived late.

He's alright, he's sort of steady and can do the basics at a league 1 level. But the drop from Taylor is just upsetting.

In fairness to him he's barely had a look in or chance to get any rhythm going and he's suddenly starting a league game when most of us would have had him about 5th choice at best recently.

But he'll do well to get another league start.
