Apart from the Humphreys chance what did we create in the second half? |  |

Your last paragraph is what so many people commented on before the season started. Turning out to be true. |  | |  |

Think we just fulfil the fans expectations of mediocrity. Football is just a business now, I wouldn't let it get to you. Find a hobby and focus on learning new skills. Football will ultimately leave you disappointed |  | |  |

Chaplin had a decent chance saved at some stage |  |

Start well then fading - most like the opposing manager adapts tactically and McKenna doesn't have the knowhow to counter it. |  |

If as many believe our squad is too good for L1 on 22:30 - Dec 2 with 1484 views | Enigma_Blue | Surely you and other Town fans have come to the realisation that regardless of how good a team/squad is, it's what they do on the pitch that counts. The best teams dont always win the league or get promotion. We supposedly had championship quality players like Bialkowski, Chambers, Judge, Huws, Dozzell, Downes, Sears & Skuse. Were we able to get promotion with them in our side, no not even close. Even if we don't get promotion this year I think we are definitely moving the right direction, especially given how poor we have been in the last few seasons. [Post edited 2 Dec 2022 23:30]

2 in 50 minutes then. Or 3 if you include Jackson’s shinned effort from Burns cross. |  |

We don't really score goals out of nothing or from distance. Even when we're at full strength I feel like that. People won't like it but Celina was that match winner at times last season and it's a great great shame we couldn't pull off his signing. |  |

If as many believe our squad is too good for L1 on 22:38 - Dec 2 with 1398 views | itfcsuth | We did indeed build a strong squad - but you can’t build a squad for the amount of injuries, for the length of time, all at the same time in the same positions - it’s been freakish to say the least. Ball, Evans and Camara for CM Harness, Aluko, TJJ all as pocket players You can’t legislate for that, if you just add copious amounts of players in the summer you just end up stock piling them with an over inflated squad. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but you can’t plan for the circumstances we have right now. |  | |  |

But.................... We signed Camara injured We played Ball in a game 3 days after he had an injury v charlton. Harness and Aluko injured during PIZZA trophy games... We haven't helped ourselves. |  |

For the most part, our issues in defence is because they're consistently put under pressure from midfield. I think as a solo unit, our defence is good - especially with Burgess alongside Woolfenden. |  |

It's the same pattern all over again at the moment - all possession and kicked in the nuts because we can't kill a game off. |  | |  |
If as many believe our squad is too good for L1 on 08:38 - Dec 3 with 957 views | LeoMuff | I don’t think the system works at home against the attritional or highly defensive teams at home, for me with would try a central 3, with one really creative midfield. And Chaplin off Ladapo. It clearly works very well away when teams are obligated to play a little more, but the glaring answer is we need to score more than 1 in these games to see that out, and for me little is created centrally. |  |
