The first warning sign came when Bolton deviated from his defensive game plan to please the media and co who called us the boring blues. For me, we are not ready nor have enough quality players on the list to play a more offensive style of play. We lack, lack good decisions makers and we have porky skilled bolsters especially by foot.

By the looks of it today, our players looked lost dazed and confused out there and that’s because of the change of game plan that didn’t need to be changed just yet

Recruiting has been our problem. I don’t think SOS has done a good a job as most say to be honest. He has spent many tickets on 190cm + players when pace has been a problem for us for a long time.
How do you recruit a player like Mullet who’s been givemt the boot from a poor side.

Our midfield is poor. The depth in our midfield is poorer and we are a one pace.

My solution would be look at poaching a decenct recruiterto start with.

Things are rarely as good as they seem, things are never as bad as they seem.

Some of the same supporters who talked us up all summer are now slashing their wrists.

The reality is that we lost two of our best players from last year (Gibbs & Docherty) and didn’t replace them with any ‘ready made’ stars. The club is still in rebuild mode. Yes we should expect better performances than today, but we will have those days sometimes as we get games into our youngsters and tune the offensive/defensive balance of our game style.

We lost by about the same margin to the same opponent this time last year. We have played about 3 good quarters out of 8 so far in 2018. It’s not good enough and we should expect more. But let’s not panic. Keep perspective.

A few of you need to not get so high when we win or so low when we lose. It’s bad for your health...
