Yes, definitely.
Yes, definitely.What I find funny is anyone who moans about us losing knows nothing about football.
Didn't go today but did we deserve to lose?
Ah bless...is that your go to phrase when you disagree with somebody?
You don't think we'd be higher in this league with James Collins or a proven striker up top then? Clueless...
Been saying for weeks its a creative midfielder (Andreu) or wide man (Baker would have been great) who can create and chip in with goals that we lack. We have one threat going forward and that is Jones. If he is double teamed or has an off game we just don't look like scoring. We essentially only create chances on which ever wing Jones is playing and even then because he prefers to shoot he doesn't create that many chances for others per game. We need another outlet, and when we get one we wioo start to stretch teams and create more chances for the strikers.Listening to the comments it sounds like our issues will be solved if we get a good creative midfielder who can slot a ball through and pick up play, moving the ball forward with some urgency. Also we need to find the combination of striking partnership.
But how much did tactics play a role? Do we have players in our squad who can adapt or do we need to bring in a couple?
If Jones is triple-marked, that means there are 2 players somewhere who are unmarked, so it's his job to pass it to them.Has he ever played there before? We need someone for sure. Jones gets triple marked at times.

Agree about Stevenson very disappointing in the Blackburn game, way too lightweight in this league as soon as I heard the team news I said to my son we would lose! Cannot afford to carry players when we need to grind out results, we need steel in the midfield as all good teams doYou’re right, which is why it’s a waste bringing Ponticelli on with 10 minutes left, he’s not going to change the game. I think it’s time to give DKE a rest, he didn’t contribute too much positively today. Works hard, and he will improve. I was pleased to see Ben Stevenson in the team as I was keen to see him play, but I was disappointed in his performance, and for me he needs to do more to fulfill the potential that people see in him. He’s young, and for me, needs to start dictating in the midfield.
If you’re going to play that front two, I would play McNulty behind them as I believe he can be creative. In terms of the overall game, I thought Accrington were comfortably the better side, played it well on the ground in the first half, scored a well worked goal, and competed strongly across the park. We were mostly poor. I also thought that their support was excellent, for a small crowd, they were very vocal and supportive of their team throughout. The Sky Blue army, although out in force, was quiet, but I wouldn’t be too critical, the team didn’t give us much to get excited about today. The way we played today, was at best play off level performance.
Yes, I know, but when you look at someone like Devon Kelly-Evans, his first thought seemingly is pass the ball sideways or back. Jones seems to be the only player willing to try and take players on.If Jones is triple-marked, that means there are 2 players somewhere who are unmarked, so it's his job to pass it to them.
I'm going to get slaughtered for this but I wouldn't mind having Kyel Reid back!
The day doesn't need forgetting, it needs to be a catalyst for Robins to finally wake up to the warning signs that have been evident all season. The way we are set up is utterly one dimensional. How individual players are getting called out and even their careers written off is beyond me when the team is set up in such a limiting way. I've been saying this since Yeovil and people keep calling me negative - it is not me that is negative but the tactics we use. Aiming for 1-0s is ok in theory but we have to be able to do something different if we concede early or a team parks the bus. Newport, Yeovil, Barnet, Accrington - almost a third of our games where we have looked utterly devoid of ideas to break teams down. We have to have at least a threat from the other wing or down the middle to alleviate the doubling up on Jones or we will struggle for goals for the rest of the season, whoever is playing up front for us. 5 first half goals in 16 matches now this season is an awful stat.Pretty dreadful. Accrington started well and scored from some horrendous defending. Their move such a nothing move I instantly forgot how the build up happened it was that poor from us.
Some maybe pen shouts although both were clutching at straws in desperation. Dev I'm afraid at this moment in time should be nowhere near this first time. It's not even his height or build, he doesn't have any skill or pace either! It's almost like playing with a man down. I know that's harsh, it's not his fault but he was brought in with us down to bare bones and now our injured players are fit again, so he has to go out. Can't really remember any clear cut chances for us and I don't think burge had anything to do after the goal.
As for our fans, quiet bar a few idiots arguing with each other about whether they should be swearing in front of children. Bad day really and one that needs to be forgotten
Yeah, I'd have him back for the one first game where he would be brilliant, but would then send him straight back out on loan again and then just bring him back every 6th or 7th game for the one off bit of brilliance.I'm going to get slaughtered for this but I wouldn't mind having Kyel Reid back!
Yes we did. We were terrible!What I find funny is anyone who moans about us losing knows nothing about football.

Well that's alcohol for you.Tell you what I saw about our fans. Big majority of them were smashed off their tits. I love a day out but jeez, get a hold of yourself.
One fan got chucked out for starting on another one of his own fans. Beer bottled got chucked onto the pitch. Fans slagging off players from 15 minutes in and the worst of the lot, a fan calling their centre half a Monkey and his mates laughing..what a bunch of cunts

These people need reporting, although I know how difficult that is - they’re not exactly pleasant people.Yes unfortunately the words monkey and c*#t were used way to often.
My 12 year old son looked me at one point and said shall we move, he was appalled by the racial slurs.
We do have a moron section of the fan base unfortunately and plenty were out yesterday.

They were giving their number 4 some real abuse and he hadn't done anything. That with the bottle and the orange that just missed their goalkeeper are totally unacceptable. Away games with some of our fans is not an enjoyable experience and I have never understood the need to drink non stop and miss a good portion of the gameYeh, there were some young adults standing at the side near the corner flag who appeared to be abusing their players, couldn’t hear what they were saying, but seemed unpleasant. I also noticed that in the second half, there were scores of men near the bus at the back of our standing area, just drinking with no interest in the game. WTF??
Not much higher no. Luton have 13 different goalscorers in the league this season and 11 players with assists. We have 7 scorers and 6 with assists. They are dangerous all over the pitch and we are dangerous whenever Jodi Jones doesn't have 2 men on him. Unless James Collins can make goals from himself or belt them in from 30 yards I don't think he'd turn this team from play off contenders to automatics.You don't think we'd be higher in this league with James Collins or a proven striker up top then? Clueless...
I'm struggling to see who has higher budget than us in this league.....Mansfield/Luton maybe but maybe not? Think we have top 3 budget in this league in all probability
certainly a bigger budget than Accrington who we have just lost to and are now higher in the league than us.....
You have to admit also, it was a very well worked goal from them. Lovely play, flicks and a decent finish. They unlocked our defence, we couldn't return the favour.
I am really hating this continual slagging off of our player by our own fans. Might be beer fuelled but still no excuse
Trying to decide whether to drive down from Yorkshire for it.
He was an arsehole was going to go over but a guy with his 8 year old said don't because he didn't want his son seeing people fight. Don't think he will be taking his son againI was embarrassed to be a ccfc fan yesterday...not the team; we were out thought and out played by the better team on the day. I was embarrassedn by some of our fans. The moron who threw a bottle of beer on the pitch. The drunks who were abusive to Accrington stewards and fans as well as to fellow cov fans. But mostly I was embarrassed by the guy who for the whole second half did nothing than shout abuse at their keeper. Not banter but abuse calling him a ‘peado’ every 5 seconds. Not once did he encourage the team, not once focus on the game but for 45mins + just a string of abuse. Boring and boorish.

It's true though !Double account alert.
I did not encounter this myself fortunately but do not doubt you are telling us what you saw/heard. I did see the bottle thrown. I did notice a lot of people just drinking during the game behind the stand with no interest in the game.Lots of critical fans of players around me. I have not been to many games in recent years but the away games I have been too have had fans that I would rather not hang around with. Swindon was an exception which all seemed a good bunch and got behind the team.I was embarrassed to be a ccfc fan yesterday...not the team; we were out thought and out played by the better team on the day.
