1 win in 6, 74 shots conceded in 4 games — but I’m sure none of that’s down to Jackson’s tactics either.

Obviously should have said Browne and Hippolyte

Pointless getting too het up about today - frustrating though it was, I did actually expect a loss, and the reds are probably the bigger issue…. We will have better days, and it’ll be a rollercoaster season again. In other news, MK lost at home, so there’s that… 😬

Why can’t people see that we are not playing Stevens & Browne together. Stevens is upfront on his own - with Stevens and Hippolyte behind him - that is different to last season when they did play together - Matty has scored 4 and Browne 2 - so it is sort of working isn’t it

Glad I didn't waste any time on that but we still have 8 more points than I expected at this stage.

CW - one swallow does not a summer make. Players like Ali was doing that week in, week out for us. He played well in one match - brilliant - that is his job. When he does it week in week out then he will get some plaudits. As I said consistency.

That was fucking awful - we started the 2nd half brightly - but Browne fucked all that up - arsehole- always struggling after that - although it is probably Jackson’s fault he lost his head as far as some people are concerned - some people secretly (or not so secretly ) happy we have hit a bad patch. Boring

Silk, we’ve been saying it for months. Jackson is the only person who thinks those two can play together.

Silk-you obviously didn’t go to Bradford where Browne was the best player on the pitch disproving your theory that he can’t play away

One to forget. What we may learn is that we cannot play Stevens and Browne together as neither are good off the ball. You either need the strength of Bugiel or the pace of Hackford otherwise any clearances will come straight back to us. Out of the two we will miss Lewis more than Browne. Browne will have to earn his place for me and if we win he should start on the bench

Oh well, time now to watch the match that will probably be a lot closer

I think Mackiemill is right in what he says below. This game was always going to be an expected loss (though not necessarily such a debacle)

CW - not he is not useless as he doesn't drift in and out of games. If you think Browne is a good player then you truly know fuck all about football. Browne's was a dangerous tackle that could have injured a player. That one a good referee would have let go without a booking. And that was a player playing the percentages. If you had to fault Lewis for anything then it was he forgot it was Drysdale who loves being the centre of things. He will wank himself off tonight over that red card

Soft second yellow.

Defeat against Rotherham incoming 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

It’s grim up north

Lewis off too, I suppose he’s useless as well

When the fixtures came out I couldn’t see us winning a game till October

Stevens did hit the post then got manhandled by their defender for the rest of the half while the ref turned a blind eye

The next gave v Rotherham starting to look very important to address the slump. Game after is Donnie who are likely to be top of the league then it’s Wycombe.

mackie - all very true, it’s a real pity that Stevens couldn’t put away that early chance….

Frankly losing away to the likes of Bolton is not an issue; it's about ensuring victories in the games at home to the Lincolns etc of the world. Everything is pretty much par for the course, so far this season (other than beating Barnsley, and even then they had multiple chances they couldn't put away - I viewed that as a bonus rather than the shape of things to come).

I play a lot of online backgammon and one of the features is that if you get far enough behind that you have no chance of winning you can just resign the game and save the pain of playing to the bitter end. I bet Jackson wishes he had that feature available today.

And as it to confirm it’s all over Sasu is on
