I don't think they did. I think they were an appalling, lethargic side who took advantage of a defensive lapse to steal three points in a match in which I'd have fined both clubs for failing to reach FL standard.

Matt.

I don't really know what to say, suggest or do any more.

It has got past the point of analysing what went wrong, or saying that we've not had good luck. Quite simply, we have to start winning games. Some players in the squad have failed to perform under 3 managers (I'm counting Ill Ling and caretaker Taylor as 1), and they owe it to both themselves as a professional tradesman and their employer, the club, to pull their socks up and show that extra bit of quality that they've been missing for so long now. Do they have it in them? Probably not.

2-0 to Fleetwood.

Fully agree ...... but you just knew that Accy were going to nick it at the death. It's something we're good at - snatching defeat from a 0 - 0 draw.

Just the fixture we needed to start the push out of the relegation places. Fleetwood have only won one of their last eight league games, and have failed to score in the last four. Clearly crap. 3-0 to the Gulls!

As we have only come from behind to win once all season I suggest we DO go at them early and try and get something to hang on to. Otherwise it will be plenty of possession, a few missed chances perhaps then we fizzle out quickly and they assert and score leaving us zero room for manoeuvre. If we don't get the tempo and application from kick off we're screwed. In my humble opinion. Now is the time to take games to the opposition and not to see if we can hang in there and nick one. It breeds confidence if we play like we mean business even we lose, playing like we are totally desperate for a result just makes players anxious and compounds things against us. The mindset has to change to BELIEVING we can get results and that isn't going to happen by playing the way that has seen us lose most of our matches.

In my opinion. =D

if we play like we did against Accrington were f*cked anyway that was the worst performance I have ever seen at plainmoor , we were shite , but we did have mansell playing .

Accrington were the worst team I have ever seen in the football league they were crap in every dept, they didn't even tackle , they will go down , lets hope we don't join em , but on form ,, we lost to them ...
so we will finish bottom and they will finish second bottom , to be honest that is the 2 worst teams in the league.
I hope every week we are going to win ,, and every week we are shite (at home we are desperate..pitch is a shit heap,, get a farmer in with a flock of sheep , a bit more shit on the pitch wont make any difference.

I am still contemplating going to this game. God knows why I after the Accrington debacle. As has been said already you do hope every game we will turn the corner and at least make some sort of attempt at staying up.
Really losing 3-0 at Hartlepool was an astoundingly poor result.
Perhaps on Saturday we may actually have a stronger team out. Labadie should return at the expense of Stevens (he presumbaly will be left out). Perhaps Mansell and Bodin will be fit. I am off to clutch at some more straws.

Yup, expect to see Jaws Labadie with the other pave atoss up between Manse and Harding.

Matt.

Now that would be a tune for the players to walk out too.

Yeah I know. I'll get my coat!

YES we could have a Ladabie Mansell Harding three with Lathrop in front of the back four and two up front. at least this if selected would be physically stronger.

Lathrope behind Harding and Gnasher, please.

This, this exact thing. Anyone who doesn't think this is our best option is insane.

Completely agree. It is the only sensible option.
