Just papering over the cracks here for me, we should have lost the last three games and were lucky to draw the Telford away. Game was crying out for Stephenson out wide. Effective when he came on, same with Murray. We were getting the ball wider, we were causing them issues. How much we rely on Weeks is alarming too. Lynch offered nothing but bad passes. We as a team need to get nastier, put in hard tackles. Rescued a point but I think a loss would have done us better. Unbeaten record gone, start from scratch Can them little bastards behind the goal stop throwing shite onto the pitch too, that will end up costing us in fines Every single game them little dickheads throw stuff on and at their players. I seen one today thrown at a Curzon player when he was at the by line about to cut back. Our stewards are worse than chocolate teapots. It’s not far off one of our own fans smashing their faces in because we know an opposition player is going to get hit soon and go down. Club needs to clamp down. Let’s not blame the volunteer stewards but the responsibility lies fully with the idiots who think it’s big and do it. |

They have Mahon we have Dudley enough said B and j made some shit desions To be honest in the first half Dudley was one of the few who could take a pass and do something with it. Too many times the ball went forward and didn’t stick. Duds is one of the most skilled players in the squad but needs the outlet further forward. Suggest you watch runs by the forward players next week and you will be amazed at how few are made, most balls are played sideways or to players with back to the goal. |

Club needs to clamp down. Seen it a couple of weeks back when little bastard runs on the pitch and the stewards grabbed him put him back in the stands, then all his tribe are kicking off at the stewards saying he's only a kid etc. Can't win sadly. Personally I think taking them out back and turning the CCTV off is the best methord You can’t seriously be considering beating up kids whilst you’ve turned CCTV off here surely. Jesus Christ. |

That was a fairly average performance.
There was a notable difference between the two teams first half. When Curzon got the chance to, they had 5 or 6 players running into our box for a cross.
When our fullbacks put crosses in there were only 2 or 3 players getting into the box. Willoughby and Caton are unlikely to win them.
CM may have been restricted in his options today. But this looked similar to previous home games. Just without the quality of Weeks and Roberts.
Caton has achieved very little in the last few games, and might have unbalanced the team. Lynch and Murray play better coming on in a game, than starting. We need to find a way of getting the ball into dangerous areas, and creating efforts on goal. Because we just don't work the opposing keeper enough. Hate to think where we'd be without Willoughby.
We might need to lose that 'control in centre midfield' a little to create more speed and effectiveness in our attacks. It's all too organised and predictable.
Realistically low play offs is our best hope, unless something suddenly clicks into place. CM has tried various formations and line ups, but none have really given us what we aimed for. He's given us an organised likable team that battle to the last minute. Another striking option might make the difference. If we're not going to use certain players, then maybe they should be moved on, if possible, to bring in someone different.
Final observation regarding our throw ins from the right.......we appear to have no idea what to do with them. Today and against Telford, Morgan took ages to try and throw it to Murray or Willoughby with 6 players around them. Inevitably we lost the ball and ended up defending. It's like we'd admitted we wouldn't win a ball into the box, so didn't bother trying.

It's like we'd admitted we wouldn't win a ball into the box, so didn't bother trying. There’s a decision to be made there as his loan is up the day before the Fylde game I think and he’s been struggling the past few games. He was badly misjudging the flight of the ball when going up for headers today and when others were trying to pick him out he was running to somewhere where they couldn't.
Did get going a bit late on in fairness. |

Our ‘broadsheet’ fans patronisingly tell us how lucky we are to have Dudley, whereas let’s be honest, he’s crap. We’ve got a top 6 team thanks to Calum and his recruitment. Most of what he’s inherited from Bill & Ben isn’t good enough. Another good crowd and incomplete home performance. UTFS.

Goals Peers looks just offside to me for their first, arguably in line by feet but his body position is leaning forward. Tyrer should do better for the second.

Most of what he’s inherited from Bill & Ben isn’t good enough. Another good crowd and incomplete home performance. UTFS. Quite a bizarre way to spin our poor home form PC. Of todays starting 11 only Dudley and Williams are left (if you don't include Burke who they gave a debut to) from BM and AJ reign, and I'd suggest in most peoples opinions Williams has been one of our most consistent performers. Morgan left for Altrincham in January and was re-signed from them by CM. I suppose its your way of having a subtle pop at Dudley again though. Our home form is the worst its been in terms of ppg since relegation in 2018, even worse than last season which is quite alarming. CM sets us up so well drilled and organised away from home it seems its then very difficult to become expansive once we're back home. Quite frankly, its turgid stuff! |

Wasn't the best performance today I'm sure we all agree with that. One of the saddest things about today is the throwing of objects at players and match officials. There is no place for it and embarrassing for the club. I counted two bottles been thrown at the linesman and I'm sure this will be reported. I hate to imagine how much the fine could be for this. It'd to be stopped and I don't blame the volunteers for this the fans need to take some responsibility for this and pack it in

Looked offside live too. However the lino seemed to be indicating to Cal that our no.2 was playing him on. Difficult to tell as Morgan was on the opposite side of the penalty area. |

We massively missed Weeks and Roberts today Burke really tried hard to plug the gaps in midfield but it was a massive ask for a lad who was playing his first game since a long injury, the three forwards are playing like it’s the first time they’ve ever played together, no one wins the flick ons and then no one gambles in case they do.

How and why devine never gets a bad thing said about him is beyond me, never passes forward and rarely puts a tackle in, couldn't control ball in first halfstood on it instead and nearly fell over, 2nd half his air shots totally missing the ball had me falling off my seat with laughter, the worst out of a poor team performance today, totally stole a point today, much improvement needed next week or sadly the great crowds we been getting will slowly disappear Devine got an assist last week at Brackley when he passed it forward to Willoughby. |

We have no width, it's as simple as that. Our only real source of width comes from Coates who seems to be out for all eternity unfortunately?? At home against weak sides in the bottom 6 you should really be attacking them & making it as difficult for them as possible to get a foothold in the game. We have now drawn 11 games only behind Leamington in that regard. All these draws along with the lack of width is what has cost us bossing this league when we all know we have a squad capable of doing so. It's frustrating but these draws need to turn into wins especially at home. Another great crowd in again & another abject performance to go with it. Missed weeks & Roberts massively. Where would we be without Kurt this season?
Let's give Peterborough a right good hammering.

Looked to me like one of their players was offside and unsighted Tyrer by jumping over the ball. |

Not just lack of width - a real reluctance to run at opponents defence/far too much playing with our backs to goal in the final third….or worse still Kenyon going route 1 to an attack that are useless in the air. |

Next week has became a huge game. A convincing win is needed to stop 2,100/2,200 slipping back to 1,600/1,700. We need definitely to get on the front foot with width at home. At least Weeks and Roberts will be back. Lastly, why has Thomas hardly featured, when fit?

Have seen a couple of mentions on Kenyon about his defending and long balls, bear this in mind...first goal, head on for Williams to score, second goal long ball and one pass later goal 🤷
For what it's worth in my opinion he gets us moving forward quicker than the other centre halves which is something we are lacking at times this season.

Peers is much better than any of our forwards apart from Kurt!
Kenyon is finished, his legs have gone! Headers on for corners, Jesus he's a defender that just hoofs it!
Burke is not a midfielder, he's just not.
Murray, Devine and Lynch will not progress us up this league.
We're set up to defend and don't know what to do going forward.
Just my opinion

Kenyon for me was at fault for their 2nd, just gave up on the play. Like others have said though, he does pass it forward quicker than anyone else.
My favourite bit is the people who left missed a last minute equaliser

The thing that disappointed me the most is just how poor we were after Cal seemed so determined to ‘fix’ our home form after Telford. I guess he wasn’t counting on missing so many players (Weeks, Hall, Roberts, Coates, Edwards), but our home performances have slowly been getting worse, although we’ve actually played better and lost earlier in the season.
We only really seem to know how to play one way and it’s clearly more effective away from where we can hit teams on the counter. We desperately need Weeks, Hall and Coates back next week, but good to see Daz get some game time. I still think he can be a big player for us.
The attendance was decent, but it’s so frustrating that we can’t put in a decent performance whenever we get half decent crowd. It’s great to see the terrace so packed, but it was generally a poor atmosphere yesterday. I think everyone needs to up their game vs Peterborough.

My favourite bit is the people who left missed a last minute equaliserTwo people in front of us got up and walked out when they scored their 3rd. By the time they'd got to the exit it had been disallowed for offside. They'd have got a shock when they got home and found out it ended 2-2. |

Shame to concede the first goal but fantastic comeback.
We're having a decent season so far. Just need to get a few 2023 wins under our belt.

My favourite bit is the people who left missed a last minute equaliser Keynon gets done, but equally Burke if you watch it back. I thought Tyrer was poor on the shot, but I don't know whether the ball got a slight flick from the striker in the offside position, or if not, he at least put Harry off. Great move from Curzon tbf. It will be great to get some bodies back for Saturday - Dec & Kev in particular. Got to play either Stevo or Thomas too. |
