That was a pretty poor first half.

I thought Thompson was one of our better players.

That was poor. No cohesion at all. Carroll so negative never forward passing. Burns needs to take the booked full back on. You would not know who was 2nd bottom. Need massive improvement. Thompson poor as well.

It could be worse we could be losing 0-2 at home to Doncaster Rovers just like Sunderland.

Mckenna is a rookie .clutching at straws now .this is where we need a experienced manager at the closing end of the season

Bloody hell that was desperate defending. Shocking from Wes Burns.

If we keep playing like this it’s only a matter of time before we go behind.

It’s not been Wes Burns best performance in a Town shirt but we certainly can’t afford to have him sidelined for any length of time.

Clearly Morsy and Aluko are massive for us.

Apart from Christian Walton every Town player is making mistakes.

Listening to commentary, we're not playing well. They nearly went ahead just now we were saved by the frame of goal.

How can you not be motivated for a home game against this nature of opposition. If we don't improve second period they could just as easily win themselves. This should have been a free ticket for three points but we're really making it hard for ourselves out there.

I know we’re only 2/3rds into the game but it’s hard to see where a goal is coming from.

Surely this is a game for Celina, something has to change.

For the very first time I have a worry about McKenna’s management, we have far too many players looking unsure of their individual responsibilities.

What's worrying we are worse than the 1st half. Norwood and Chaplin off Bonne and Celina on. Carroll off Bakinson on.
Please ffs. No 3pts here playoffs gone simple as that .

Jaysus this sounds awful. What is wrong with this lot Bonne and Celina coming on? Edmundson sounds like he's having a really bad day. Ah well there's always next season :shock:

You just take the win, if we hang on, and move on, its an off day but could still yield 3 points.

We should be able to see this out Mike but it’s been far from comfortable.

We are ahead. Sure not playing that well but ahead all the same. Thought we'd stroll this before start of play but shall take a win irrespective of playing sh*t for most parts.

Victory here would be good for morale in the remaining games. McKenna will maintain an impressive record here if we can hold out in the closing stages.

... and we’re still giving the ball away in added time, the latest by Carroll.

Yep 15 points from 21 is good and a 100% home record is good if we hang on but the performance today is so disappointing
