I thought the initial team selection was poor. I agree with Dave Waller. Cook should have made the changes at half time because there was no motor. That would have given us more time to pull the goals back. Another poor performance as we seem to be cementing ourselves in the botton half of the table. I'll be glad to get to 50 points to be honest.

Madden this season has turned into our modern day Gerry Creaney. Such a disappointing signing.

None of that lot bar dobra (if he is still here) and Duffy will be playing for us next year on opening day

You said Palmer wouldn't start today.

No urgency no threat too many mistakes. Another horrendous watch. Crewe a good team but we gifted them the three points. Hopefully Oldaker won?t put a shirt on again. How he keeps on getting the nod is beyond me. Fleck has to start for me. Love Cook but don?t understand making the subs with 20 minutes left and then pushing players forward with 5 minutes to go. After they scored their second they went five at the back. He should have gone 3?2-5 for the second half. Try and put them under pressure, match them man for man. Another disappointing afternoon. Off for a long walk!

Firstly for some reason Cook likes Oldaker and 2nd Cook doesn't do subs before 70 mins. baffling to say the least

[Painted Wagon]

Did their number 26 get Pepples shirt at the end, he was trying for it all game. Am so livid at the moment for many reasons. Failing to show up in first half, too many mistakes, useless ref, dark arts Crewe, was the 3rd offside? Crewe inciting crowd. Rant over

I also posted ?didn?t see that coming?. This isn?t point scoring. This is a debate board.

[Middle East]

Well that was a shocker! Poor from the first minute to the last.

Has he got a two year deal?

Yes. Unfortunately so based on what we?ve seen.

Ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ what a terrible waste of money. And, I'm not having a go at Cook; I think we all expected far better from him. What a massive letdown he's been.

Said to metallilad at ht I'd only keep 2 of our outfield 10 .. Dobs and donacien.

I'd like to add donacien to the bin off list, if you can't stay fit.. get rid..

We look woefully disjointed, poor old sparkes was covering the entire left side by himself, we have no goal threat from pepple, (tho his hold up play was almost acceptable) but there's no one getting close enough to him to help him,..
Madden, I hope he's sold or released on a free to someone for next season, if not he can have the empty seat next to me,.. what a waste of (no doubt) good money..
And God help us if oldaker starts a game next season... holds the ball forever and then plays it nowhere helpful...

Other than that the rest were worse..

At least Darth Allen and his dastardly apprentice are still not here, that?s the only positive I take out of the crap situation at the moment.

What crap situation? Mid table in league 2 in our first season back after 6 long years. Some of you need to grow a pair of b?llocks. It?s pathetic to read. It?s disappointing, a season that promised so much just fizzling out but good god , get a hold of yourselves. We?ve had an injury hit season , not had a settled side all season and some performances have been very very below par but some of you calling for cook to be gone etc are genuinely thick. Unbelievably thick in fact. I?m as frustrated as any one in today and certain other performances but I also understand things take time. No manager I?d rather have in place than cook to build a promotion winning side as long as he?s given time. There are even better times to come at this football club with the people in charge and it?s about time some of you got on board.

I'm not point scoring. I'm debating the fact that nobody knows whether some of those players will still be here. Just like you thought Palmer wouldn't play today.

[Lincs Spireite]

We have to face it, we are easy to score against. But this time we can't outscore the opposition.
To say a massive clearout next season is an understatement but we will still be stuck with those under contract like Madden

Agreed. Poor team selection. Banks needs to start but it?d fizzling out rather poorly.

Exactly this. After 6 seasons in obscurity just surviving is ok with me. Obviously we all expected a bit more and without the crazy injury list who knows.
We look like a struggling side at the minute with not much at either end of the pitch (or the middle)
Cook himself will have learned a lot this season and will build a decent side for next year to challenge and we?ll be ok (and hopefully never hear from the likes of s& d and the other morons again)

[Lincs Spireite]

We signed too many older/injury prone players and this is the result

Good job most of them are out of contract then
It really is a horrible team at the minute, reminds me of the Lee Richardson days, without the brilliance of Jack Lester.

As good as that?

For me the whole thing came together when the likes of Fleck, Banks, Duffy and Jacobs came on. Far better than the others. I think this is a transition season but deary me, cook has to improve the team in a game and not wait until 70 mins. Fleck is different quality as is Banks. That starting eleven looked like a Nat league North side.

Same post interview we will lick our wounds and wish them well,every defeat we get that spouted out ,how many shots on goal??
