    The main problem today for me was we tried our hearts out and got dicked 2-0, Brentford never broke sweat and dicked us 2-0. I expect this to happen against the scousers not a fellow league one side.

     

    If they had gone for our throats it could quite easily of been 4 or 5. It needed changing a lot earlier on but we carried on with Simpson on the wing who was truley awful. Not his fault he isn't a winger and should be competeing with Baxter for the attacking midfield slot but Dickov has this mentality that he has to play and fits him in where ever he can.

     

    Also we have nothing up front. Smith is only on the pitch to win the headers and get the flick ons but its absolutely pointless flicking them on when no bugger is close to him. Apart from his ability to challenge in the air I'm afraid Smith just does not have enough about him and I doubt he would catch at any other of the 91 clubs at the pro level. It also doesn't help when your defence gives away easy goals week in week out.

     

    I also get the feeling todays subs were a way of Dickov saying to Corney "look these youngsters arn't up to the challenge I need more addition's" as we were already well beaten and the changes he did make were baffling to say the least. Kirk Millar Playing the holding roll in centre mid is well up there with the worst subs I've ever seen.

     

    Things need to change and quickly, Personally now Baxter is signed up there is no reason to keep Dickov and I'd get rid. Nice man but poor manager. But I do think he will be here whilst were still in the cup at least, and unfortunatly that has masked his failings in the league for over 2 years now. As much as I've loved the cup runs I think we would struggle to bounce back from relegation and we need to avoid that happening at all costs.

    This. Absolutely spot on.

    Job done I guess

    Can we stop making Furman the scapegoat. He was no worse than any other player today.

     

    The conditions were tough and we would've all liked to see an attacking performance but its tough when the opposition come to defend.

     

    Its 3 points. Dickov made a change that worked REALLY well, putting Brown and Grounds in who were arguably our best players. Get off his back for 1 game, please. I didn't see 1 person suggest that replacement for Montano yet he saw it and it worked very well.

     

    Give credit where credit is due. He had a good tactical game.

    Anyone reckon the bury fans will take up the fiver offer to come and watch us again ?

    if it means we continue to be as :censored: as tonight then I expect they will come every week and as a result, it won't be long before our respective league places are reversed.

    Cliff Byrne injury

    Anyone know what happened and if he is okay?

     

    I totally missed it!

     

    We could be screwed for next couple of games if he is injured!

    Absolutely, what are our options?

     

    Wabara alongside Tarky and Brown at RB? Too disruptive to the promising Croft / Wabara attacking combo?

     

    Joe Cooper to make debut at CH? Too much of a risk?

     

    An emergency loan? Too late?

     

    Two massive home games in 5 days.....we can ill afford this disruption.

     

    But there's always the possibility that like Derbyshire, Byrne recovers from his rib injury PDQ.....I hope!!

     

    Sorry Jean-Yves, all ISN'T forgiven.
