1 goal in 39 games and manager after manager here wonders why we don’t score enough.

You just can't keep relying on a clean sheet and 1 - 0
wins . Our goals for is awful and I'm afraid it will be
costly 😞

Shame about the deflected goal

Still plenty to play for !! Plenty of twists and turns to come yet
Keep the faith , even through disappointment

We didn't press like we should have, maybe caused by Young having to sit, but we got a bit sloppy in the period just before their goal then they punished us for a piece of sloppy defending.

Young put some testing crosses into the box first half but our forwards get nowhere near them. Rutherford barely touched the ball first half yet will get a standard 7 in the ratings thread.

Works hard.

It doesn't feel in our hands anymore.

Looking at our rival's fixtures is pointless. It's only ours that matter and we need a lot of wins. We've given up the lead and Orient still have a game in hand.

At least we've ended their 5 year wait for a TV win.

Oswell might have been justified in feeling a bit peeded off at not starting but the manager probably thought Grant would show what he was made of!
Still a long way to go and many twists and turns I think

Why do people say 'a long way to go' cos there isn't really, there is only 20% of the matches left.

if there was an Olympic hide n seek, Ruthers and Grant ,gold n silver

I don't think we were as bas as some are making out. We were the better side in the first half they were better i the second (wind assisted?) but we never really looked like scoring. They were a bit more threatening but not by much. Lainton didn't have much to do until the goal, which took a massive deflection. Nil nil would have been a fairer result, for all their attacking talent.

I usually defend Rutherford but he was awful today.

[NottsRed]

We were poor no bones about it.

Our problem is we persist with one isolated striker and it doesn’t work. Until we change that we will struggle to score.
