Dissapointing night it has to be said. Very little attacking promise, and some interesting choice of subs and substitutions. Thought even at 1 down we looked generally disinterested.

Fortunately Glapwell drew for the 3rd successive time, and Sheffield and Kidsgrove both lost. I just hope we have enough fire power up from with Danny out with his op and Reece at FGR. Apart from Teesdale's pacy run and hitting the post (see match report, not memory/vision) we were never a threat last night.

Have to agree with the above post. After an awesome performance last Saturday last night was as bad as it gets. Worst performance of the season by a mile for me.
After a promising 1st 25 minutes there was only ever one team going to win it. I would have taken 0-0 after half an hour if it had been offered.
With the loss of Reece there was absolutely no pace in the forward line at all and apart from the double effort against the woodwork in the 2nd half we were never an attacking threat all night. Thought 1-0 flattered us at the end of the day.
And to answer Popdogs question. NO we dont have enough fire power up front and this needs rectifying mega quick.
Also agree that the substitutions were very strange to say the least.
One final point. Why has Mark Branch suddenly fallen out of favour?!?!?!

following on yes we were awful last night couldnt even think of a man of the match sure there will be changes on saturday desperately need a decent striker somebody with a bit of pace easier said than done finding one perhaps we could find a loanee short term? also the centre of midfield was shocking last night could do with a bit of bite in there we were totally overrun in there second half too many players had stinkers sure charlie will sort few things out fresh start saturday for us get over last night and hope for improvement KEEP THE FAITH!

One bonus from last night was Ramone, I thought he looked very dangerous when running at defenders with a bit of luck he would have goy a goal. He provided some good crosses we just need a Deano or Reece to compliment him.I think we will send the Camels away with the hump on Sat and we will be back on track. fin

Mark Branch should be in the squad. Last night we had no full back cover on the bench. Milly gets injured and so Ross comes on. 1 minute later they score. I personally dont see why a player who can change a game (as in the Goole game) should not be in the squad.

As said, too many players had poor or indifferent games last night. Ramone is a quality winger, but he needs ball to feet. 1st half they were scared to death of him running at them, yet that happened far to often because he wasnt given the ball. Midfield looked poor and Saunders has looked weak since the return from the break. For me we are missing Batch in their but he's gone so that is that.

Cannot see the current forwards bagging many. Hay worked hard but had little supply. Danny should of scored but hit the post, but now he is out with Deano. Birchy needs a pacy forward working with him but we currently do not have that avaliable.

Well done Reece, 2 goals in 45 mins and 1 scored after 3 mins on the pitch. Certainly looks like him could progress there and onto a higher playing level. I think an improvement in maturity and decision making could see him become a complete player.

We need a win on Saturday and let's hope we can deliver. We are still top, but our last 3 games of the season are gonna make or break our season. Would be nice to build a lead up before then but on last night's performance that looks highly unlikely. Lets hope Charlie can rally them for the weekend.

IT WAS A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT LOSING LAST NIGHT,BELPER DESERVED IT TBH THEY WERE A LOT BETTER ORGANISED AND A LOT QUICKER THAN US IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.NORMALLY IM 100%BEHIND CHARLIE BUT NOT LAST NIGHT IS SUBS WERE BAFFLING TO SAY THE LEAST THE MOST INEFFECTIVE STRIKER LAST NIGHT WAS HAY YET HE LEAVES HIM ON AND TAKES BIRCHY WHO WAS HOLDING THE BALL AND SPRAYING SOME GOOD PASSES OFF.I DONT LIKE TO SLATE PLAYERS TBH LETS HOPE IT WAS A ONE OFF FOR HIM AND GET BACK ON TRACK ON SATURDAY AGAINST CAMMELL LAIRD.ON A POSITIVE NOTE "BONES"HAD A VERY PROMISING HOME DEBUT AND LOOKED DANGEROUS WHEN HE GOT THE BALL,LETS HOPE THERES MORE TO COME FROM HIM.WE ARE ALSO STILL TOP OF THE LEAGUE ROLL ON THIS SATURDAY UP THE SCHOLARS

some great comments on here without people being too destructive everybody in agreement about mark branch and striking problem just a thought walsall have a couple of highly rated strikers in there youth team/reserves bowerman and patterson wonder if theyd be prepared to loan one out to gain further experience sure charlie has plenty of contacts and will be trying his best to get people in.On another subject totally the standard of women physios gets even better in this division belpers young physio last night very attractive

Realy if we think about it and we were offered 3 points from the last 2 games would we have taken it ?
Talking about taking strikers on loan, how about Ebanks Blake ? he needs a platform to get his knack back.

You don't think Danny and Tees look alike then?
