We were awful, not one player comes out of that with any credit ...... JGS is neat and tidy but along way off League 2 let alone League 1 .... why oh why does the tactical genuis keep playing these daft formations just set up 4-3-3 and go at teams
Have to say I agree about the formations. Just stick to 433 or 442, play to our strengths, we've got so many attacking options. Personally I really dont like 3 at the back. But I'm not a manager, just personal opinions folks
El Abd got a smattering of applause because there was a smattering of spectators. It was a dismal night not made any better for me by a small bunch of yoofs who after half a pint of shandy thought it was hilarious when one of them kept shouting c**t at apparently random intervals. I know I'm very old but sometimes I do despair......
I was there (lucky me) and I would say pretty much everyone clapped him as he came on.
Certainly a disappointing showing, you'd hope that the players who haven't been getting a game would be chomping at the bit to show what they can do to force themselves into consideration - but I don't think many did themselves any favours.
That said, until Akinfenwa came on, that was the most "ball-to-feet" football I've seen us play for quite a while. There were flashes of quality, but no real consistency and no end product.
You’re in your prime @Slaphead ! Didn’t realise you were actually going to the match last night. It was a sorry spectacle.
Couldn’t get iFollow going until midway through the first half. Wished I hadn’t bothered. Slap in the face at a time when we’re all on tenterhooks anyway. Chins up though. Clouds with silver linings perhaps.

Was that actually getting it going at all?
Or like I had, interference totally ruining the picture for most of the first 6-7mins.
Any longer I'd be emailing to complain and get a refund, but I realise that £8 is going to Wycombe, so for that reason I'll allow it.
ps chaps, "smattering" wasn't meant to try and underplay his reception. Just felt an apt description of the noise levels, but I accept it'd have been ask in last night's context!
I got into a terrible muddle @Malone. I have the App on my phone but have to go via Google to get to iFollow on the PC. It takes me to a page which invites me to subscribe. I’ve reached this point before. It shows all my details but no link to the match and how to pay for it. I turned to my iPhone and after sorting out a problem re password inherited from last time I found “watch now”. It told me I couldn’t for, I think, geographical reasons.
Hellish long story ever so slightly shorter, I got the video on the tiny screen, had another fiddle with the computer and, joy of joys, got it on there as well. But........within a minute, the PC screen went black with a message in white telling me that I couldn’t have it on two devices.
Swiping reception from the iPhone wasn’t enough. I had to actually turn it off. Watched second half on PC. Uninterrupted but nothing like the HD picture quality I usually get and I could barely distinguish between Parker and Kashket. Slight exaggeration but it really was difficult to identify players.
Never mind, chins up and perhaps those clouds really do have a silver lining.

At least noone got injured, but ending up still having to being Gape and Bayon wasn't in the plan.
Never mind. Proper stuff next and what a game!
Out of interest, what kind of reception did El Abd get when he came on??
Sounded like a smattering of applause.
He headed a goalbound header away from about 1 metre off the line, past 90mins..but in fairness it wasn't that strong an effort.
