Lawrie?  One of the most inconsistent soft players. He better put several rockets up his arse. Gutted about Clee, I would have seen if he could have got back fit as even in his last appearance at Chester when half fit he was still destroying players until his groin snapped. I would have kept Luca too because he is decent alongside Leather, they just never played much together last season. Still a decent defender but maybe on a high wage. The rest are correct decisions.

 I would keep Deasey,  Dens, Havern, Leather, Marshall  ( if he can keep fit ), Moult, Richman, Clee, Crowther ( if he man's up with his injuries ), Reeves, Rankine ( if he loses his attitude and weight). If we could get Holness then he would be a good addition and give us 4 good centre backs.

Our season ended when we stopped playing with 3 in centre mid and Ranks up front. How we haven't got a centre mid in is an absolute joke and the lack of heart and aggression in our play is shocking. We deserve to go down. We are such a soft fanny team too, we get bullied. Just a poor poor season and changes should have been made months ago. Fuming. If I was manager this team need high intensity, learn how to close down, track back, attack the ball etc and a lot of strength training. We seem to stroll around the park getting flicked off the ball. I've turned BT sports off but Lawrie AGAIN lost possession for being a fanny and what the hell was that defending by Griff. Simply don't play players who are so ineffective out of position. Lawrie should only play as a no.10 central, Leather as a centre back and so on. Just awful decisions and silly silly tactics in games. Said it at the start we are nowhere near good enough to have two up top. Those players need a firm kick up the arse or they can do one.

Playing 3 centre mids also allows our full backs to overlap which they haven't done for weeks now. Griffin has been awful recently but his crosses early in the season were creating goals and chances. We've missed Clee and Densmore so much. Dens acts like a right winger aswell as full back. We had our best spell in the season when Rankine was up top and high wide players like Crowther  ( if he can ever keep fit ) and now would be Josh on the left. We had Moult protecting the back 4 and allowing Richman and another close and break. We are nowhere near good enough to play 4-4-1-1 because Lawrie still remains high up the park.

Baffling. They go down to ten men and we keep Moult sat in front of the back 4. I remember only one overlap run made by our full backs, it was shocking. No width for the majority of the game, closing down or getting tight to their players didn't really exist. It was right choice to bring Rankine on but why change our play to the ineffective long ball? Rankine has good feet and the 10 minutes before he came on we went through on goal 3 times from balls on he ground. Sinnott sulked when moved to right back and stood too far off players.  You would have not had any idea that they only had 10 men if you didn't know. They collected the ball and drove at us. We needed width to open up the middle of the park to take advantage of the extra man. Instead we played long balls, our wide players came in central and our full backs didn't even overlap. Moult acted as another centre back, we had the extra man??? Just bizarre. Only Leather and Luca deserve credit. Again the opposition closed us down and simply wanted it more. We have far too many players who pussy stroll around the pitch. We always give teams yards of room. Negative tactics and lack of effort yet again.

Thanks for some good memories but he never sat right with me. Good luck and very professional but I now want see some passion. Tols until the end of the season then reasses.

First half was terrible football but we had a better second half because we used Ginnelly more and Lawrie was excellent in his favoured central position. First half was endless long balls to the very ineffective Rankine. I think he won only two headers all game. I think we need Reeves and a deeper Lawrie for a few games. Holness was solid again, Griff had a good game too. I just feel we need to get it down on the floor  and play more direct again using our wide men. Give Rankine a rest and Reeves a go.

I hardly use the word hate but I hate Macc,mainly because they have a high number of horrible people supporting them, if you can use the word supporting. If by any chance our players read this then please give it your all, I want a battle out there. Let's get tough, god I hope Richman is fit. Message to the club, let us have all the side for the second half, it makes a huge difference to the support and that means we will get behind. Stop being a yes club and giving in to the covering. They don't do it for us.
