[Waller is my hero]

Cost us yet again!!

Actually looking quite comfortable, then shoot ourselves in the foot & let ourselves down.

Saturday night ruined again!! Thank god I'm in Dublin all next week

We weren't at the races at all today. Two weeks off hasn't helped us at all.
Evo looked like a spent force BIGTIME today.

i wonder if evo has other irons in the fire and has took his eye off the ball a bit,he is a big unit that looks like he needs plenty of work to keep in shape,his high 5 it app is doing well perhaps he is looking to the future not the present.

[Westbars Spireite]

We were too slow to push out for the first. Evatt's clearance was dreadful for the second and Gary Roberts must have been took leave of his senses with that ball in the general area of Ritchie for the third.

Evo Is a liability, id line cook to explain him being in the team over raglan.

[lindave]

Come on Cooky Evo hashad his day, bring back Charlie andgive Carter a runat lb. Boly must start wherewas Harrison. Why 11 backat corners again and Tommy thatwas a pathetic flapagaininthe first half. On the whole we played some good stuff played crap at the back. Frustrations over bring on the Gills and 3 pts.

[Westbars Spireite]

We started really brightly too. There were a couple of lovely pieces of footwork, one especially from Banks was delightful.

Then we simply stopped as if we'd been gassed.

[firedodger]

I thought roberts was crap today, never really got into the game.
And darikwas marking for the first was dreadful.

Evo has never looked comfortable on the floor, today he was shocking, but for the type of game we play he too often stagnates the move by either passing back to Tommy of returning it from whence it came rather than moving the play foward. I felt a bit for Humphries today, he was totally dropped in it by a shocking pass from Roberts. O'Shea should have got a shout in the build up to the second and Darikwa committed suicide committing for the ball. Sloppy performance but exacerbated by really poor errors.

[whittman]

Their keeper looked really nervous in the first half but every corner we had was an outswinger that put him under no pressure

Also Lavery was the only one to test him with a long range shot which nearly went in under his body but we did not follow this up with more shots

When we finally put him under pressure in the second half it looked as though his nervousness had gone and he was more confident

Surely our bench should have spotted how nervous he looked at the start and tried to play on it?

That's what gets me about Evatt, everybody says his legs have gone but mostly his mistakes come form pure bad judgement and or control on his part which is amazing given his experience and pedigree.

Anyway sad to say but there is many more problems in our defence than just Evatt

[Spireite-Karl]

Once again our woeful defending has cost us and thank God Cookie saw what I saw and said as much. Our defending has been diabolical all season and game after game after game after game we concede sloppy goals. Basically Coventry didn't create anything of their own; we gave them the three goals and three points to boot!
Sorry but Rags and Hird have got to start for me from now on and this should be our number one pairing from now until the seasons over IF both are fit. We need to at least see if there is legs with the pairing before looking to redress this in the summer if not. There is no future in Evo and whoever and his pairing with whoever has no chance of us sneaking a playoff slot because as Cook rightfully says... If we can't defend we don't deserve anything - And how many times have we said that this season?

Tendayi didn't even jump for the header. Shocking.

Agree, but we've got to start somewhere and omitting the worst offender for a promising up and coming young defender is a start, the other is looking to recruit well in the summer and that means at least one CD and a LWB, unless we have any aspirations of this season and we look to the loan market.

[lindo-spireite]

Why do people think Carter can play left back? On that assumption can raglan play right back?

[Westbars Spireite]

I felt for Evatt today. He pretty much retired himself before our eyes and it'll take some real character to bounce back.

A bit of strength to make his header a difficult as can be should have been the least he could have done. He was poor today, along with Roberts and Evatt.

We were woeful off the ball, we are always so slow at pressing the ball out after it's been cleared
