Nothing about having to play a centre back at right back because the central midfielder who usually plays there is injured, leading to another in a long line of AWFULL full back appearences by Tom Clarke because we didn't think to sign a right back in the January window even though we don't have one ,but went for a 4th left back option instead? Nothing about sticking with a back 4 against 10 men for the second time recently against struggling opposition, with the same disappointing end result. If Clark can't see this is rubbish tactically, then what exactly are McDermott and Fazackerly doing? Shouldn't they be earning their considerable salaries and pointing out to Clark what a pile of negative crap it is? Nothing about why Lucas is still having the honour of wearing a Town shirt after such pityfull, halfhearted, bone idle performances. We have Broadbent out on loan and yet we're giving valuable first team experience to that UTTER waste of space who isn't even our player!! Never mind Lutkiewicz apologising Lee. How about YOU apologise for signing such a staggeringly poor player and putting him in the team whilst we loan out Broadbent , Denton and Parker. How about you apologise for inheriting a diabolical striker situation and managing to actually do the impossible and make it WORSE! Have to agree with a lot of that Captain. A specialist right back is a priority. Tom Clarke had a nightmare. He gave the first goal away and I think it was him who let their man go for the second. I wonder if the manager regrets handing him a new contract? The manager had a very poor game. Like you say, he didn't respond to them going a man down. I've no idea why he took Roberts off. Ainsworth should have replaced Tom Clarke. |

I've no idea why he took Roberts off. Because the end product of his every move was utter garbage and was leading to every single move we made down his side coming to nothing when time was running out. Maybe that's why! |

Who provided Cadamarteri's goal? That was in the first half. As the game wore on Roberts seemed to get worse, corners not clearing the first man, passes going astray (although he didn't have a monopoly on that trait  ). |

There was still more chance of us turning the game around with him on the field than taking him off and leaving Tom Clarke on against 10 men. |

Better still, replace Roberts with Ainsworth and Berrett with Clarke... going three at the back and giving us an extra midfielder therefore allowing Collins and Flynn to push on! |

The number of times we hit the first man yesterday was unbelievable. The one thing that you can say in favour of Roberts however is that he has the courage to actually go out there and try to play and create. The only other one I see these vital traits in currently is Pilks. Too many of the others are all to willing to simply pass the responsibility (the ball) onto others (if they are lucky) without due care. I lost count of the number of times players chose the wrong ball just because it was their easy option and passed the buck.

What he tries does not always come off, but enough of it does to make his presence worthwhile, and I though he an Williams were linking ptretty well down the left. Most other players would have given up the ghost by now if they had spent most of the season, like Roberts, putting in balls simply for them to be wasted by our anonymous strike force. |

I too would have liked to have seen Berrett brought on but maybe for Lucketti, he has the ability to sit and pick out passes. Towards the end we were only playing 9 men, as they had a injured player who couldn't run so they just played him as the front man (a bit like when Lukas is up there for us ;D) dropping the striker back into midfield.
