Another shoot out defeat after another dire display, playing 4-4-2 with 4 strikers will never work, if that's going to be our way of playing for the rest of the season, we may as well give up now.
The positive for me was the new centre back Grandison who played very well and was my man of the match. Showoddywoddy also continued his goal scoring streak with a good strike after the Accrington defender cocked it up some what, much like Blanchard and Collister did for their goal!
The penalties were predictable I suppose, Showoddywoddy's run up was all wrong when he blazed it over the bar, how we could have done with ITM (who was running down steps) playing rather than sulking. Collister couldn't do much about their penalites as they were all very well hit.
The start to this season has so far been worse than last seasons start. I do feel Les is getting for too much slack because he's our legendary physio. Unfortunately I don't believe this is going to work out and I can see us been well adrift by Christmas. I would not be surprised if he was gone by the Brighton home match. So far this season we have had two good performances - Walsall and Huddersfield and one gutsy performance - Swansea, the rest have been appaling (The 2-2 at D&R was by all accounts a fluke). Welsh is also out for Saturday it seems so our team is getting ever younger, which Parry is trying to portray as a positive. A side with no expierence lacks backbone and nous in certain situations which is been badly exposed.
We're in serious trouble if changes are not made soon.
