The start of that move ending with he goal was a Sutton throw in short that went wrong and then we were put under pressure and gave the corner away. never seen a team so bereft of the basics. the only thing we do quickly is give the ball way. Absolutely no composure to our play.

He’s the epitome of a dour Scot, interviews are seldom upbeat. How he motivates players is open to question and the interview after Oxford was a master stroke. Two games to still play and he’s more or less saying he needs to get rid of a raft of players (some of whom he needs to pick in the match squad).

I watch the games wondering whether Mellon has coached them to hoof it forward at every opportunity without considering keeping the ball and building through the better players we brought in or do the players disregard what they have been coached to do. Either way clearly Mellon is falling short of expectations. You could argue he got more from the players he inherited at first than he is now getting from those he recruited. I've a feeling the game has passed him by while he's been out studying leadership.

Latics like a pub team, just kick/ head the ball as far as possible without any composure. Nearly all the throw ins go down the line to the opposition. Utterly frustrating to watch. Effort without effect.

No commentary?

there’s only one Sai Sachdev At least you would think so

Stockton could be the next Nuttall, cost lots for little reward. Sooner we spent money on two full backs to better cover those positions

Not the same Sam Hart. played in Welsh league for years

Tollit is a waste of a wage. Weak on the ball and non existent off it. Should be playing in the local park.

It’s on page 2 of the scheduled matches

First half was reasonable without creating too many chances, their keeper hardly called into action. Second half woeful, aimless balls forward and no composure. .Hudson long balls no attempts to go short and build attacks. We just allowed them to play their way into the game and an equaliser looked on the cards for the last half hour. Bright spot was Lundstram just need three like him!

Reid has the best goals per game career record of the available strikers, so I’d start him. He also plays on the last defender and has pace, pair him with Fondop who is the better ball winner and hold up player . Things can only be better than Bromley

Football is partly about confidence and I don't think the players are showing any after he results we have had despite what they all say in interviews.. It's hard to believe that the players we signed were good at their previous clubs. I think Unsworth is to blame for not getting a tune out of them, but they should have some pride. Selection of big man, quick man strike force might help !!!

Anybody got commentary?

Looked at Opta data on passing accuracy and 70% is as good as the average for L1 and better than L2. Chesterfield had a higher passing accuracy because it was constantly cycled across and between defence and midfield. I’m just pointing this out, personally I’d prefer a more front foot approach and better ball retention.
