Pick whichever player you want to scapegoat, but they've all been ****.

Anyone else bored of watching Grimes lose the ball. Pass wasn?t good tbf

Mate, I said it at the end of last season; he's a nice bloke but he's a National League standard player.

The pass was terrible.

It was a terrible pass , no need to give it him. Grimes isn?t great on the ball tho, seems to get it quite a lot as well , seemingly has it at his feet more than any other defender which I find bizarre. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Think other teams are happy for him to have it to an extent.

We?ve not been great but the ref has been happy to let them kick lumps out of us.

[Exharboroughspireite]

Playing like a bunch of strangers . Only two positives - peddle can hold a ball up but he doesn?t have a number 10 playing off him and the new left back looks like he can cross a ball.

Midfield apart from Dobby looks awful - and that includes Naylor who looks knackered

[spireitetoo]

The back 4 have never played a game together, 2 of them haven't really kicked a ball this season, they need to get upto match speed, seems a strange decision to change the backline so much, I appreciate they've come from a higher level, but still they need to be match fit and have an understanding of each other's game,..

Teams are happy to sit off him and mark his options knowing there?s a decent chance he?ll give it away when he tries to pass it. Been the same for last couple of years, I assume it?s picked out by opposition?s scouting team before every match cos almost every team does it.

Perhaps he needs to move forward and shoot more

🤣

[Toddhopper.]

We've basically had to construct a new team mid-season. I expected it to make things difficult for us & judging by that half it has. I also expect things to improve as the season goes on but
it won't be enough for the play-offs. What we need to see is progress in the next few weeks rather than win after win is in all likelihood that's not going to happen straight away.

He's been off it for weeks needs releasing

Yeah its all Grimes' fault

[DPCFC]

According to 1866 commentary - Donacien could be injured? Was seen getting treatment

[gordon_brittas]

Roll on the summer. Go for it next year. To be honest with you we look a million miles off the playoff places. I don?t rate vale on bit, but they are so comfortable it?s unreal.

[SpireRam]

Sheckleford on. Donacien off.

Far from it, he?s a limited player doing his best, unfortunately his best isn?t good enough.

I agree

Any team would struggle with the injuries we have had and now we have lost two of our attacking players and had to rebuild the team mid season

Will probably put pay to any play off run, but if they can click quickly the way this league is then a decent run may get us close

At the start of the season my ask was for a decent top half showing and if we can do that with the set backs we?ve had then I?ll be happy, then we have the close season to remove a few players and get more quality in hopefully in preparation for a good go at automatic promotion next season, sort of follow the Stockport model after they escaped the national league

Needs to be better than what we are seeing today mind if we want to remain top half

[Spireiteboy155]

We simply don?t look interested in this game at all.
And that?s concerning.
Lack of ability is to be expected at L2.
Lack of effort and desire shouldn?t be.

[SpireRam]

Vale down to 10. Can?t comment from my seat way too far away.

[BreadNoButter]

We just had a thrown in, in the exact same place vale did for their first goal.. Mandy also un marked. Unlike getting it in the box like vale did, we proceed to pass it back to grimes
