Pathetic.

They were, luckily we were against a truly awful Port Vale side so it didn't matter. Caldwells whole system is flawed.

Expand on this??

Just look at the front two and the midfielders, theres a massive disconnect between the two. The players don't look like they know what they're supposed to do. Caldwell is trying to play a formation that might work in the top leagues but is not fit for league two.

I didn't have to, the whole left side looks better without him.

Thank god he left.

It's also the height of the summer holidays, there are plenty of folk away, 500 plus season ticket holders for a start so no doubt a fair few of the normal non season ticket regular attendees. It's too early in the season to see what sort of drop off there'll be.

A team with a decent right winger will absolutely rinse our left hand side without donohue. I wasn't his number one fan but he certainly wasn't as bad as you make him out to be.

If we lose against Newport next week, a lot more people will be saying it about Caldwell.

Some real good positives from today after a poor opening 25 mins. A win and a clean sheet the first two positives...

It was the footballing equivalent of a Labrador or a ford Mondeo...there but nice and nothing else, functional!

For what it's worth, my view on today is thus -

I'll get the negatives out the way first because I'm feeling pretty buoyant after that. The 352...against a decent opposition it's far too risky. The demands on the full backs are huge and it leaves us open as flip to anyone good enough to run at us.

Now for some much needed positivity...
Tommy! So good to see him back and kind of Evo to give him a much needed test by almost producing a contender for own goal of the season. He looked like the Tommy of old to me and after a shaky start all round, it seemed to me that confidence was higher having him between the sticks. I was suitably impressed all round today after the aforementioned nervous first 15/20 minutes but special mention for...wait for it...our midfield. The new lad was impressive but Sinnott, Weir and Reid looked really up for it today and whoever on here had confidence down as a troublesome factor were spot on...we needed a goal and after that, backwards passes looked intentional and calculated rather than a side effect of nerves.

Our problems aren't over, but today proved to me that our signings this summer haven't been the disaster they'd been made out to be. As long as GC is prepared to be flexible tactically, and he was today, there are some good players in that squad.

On a sidenote, due to numerous commitments and the like, i hadn't actually seen us win at The Proact in 2 years until today. My gawd did I enjoy that!!!

I'd give it a 7, might be being kind though,first 20 minutes we looked dire but after that we were fairly good.

Defenders look a bit wobbly, messing around with it too much at the back will cost us against better teams and should have cost us to day.

Midfield was fairly good, Reed and the new lad Flores were both very VERY good, Flores MOTM.

Up top is a bit of a mess still, Kristian Dennis does the running of 2 players and was some would consider him MOTM. O'Grady needs to improve his reactions and awareness, he wasn't particularly bad but he's just a bit slow off the block sometimes, better in the air today though.

Tommy Lee back was very nice to see, commanding of his area, vocal to the team.
