to be fair I didn't expect much when we had one fit first team defender (who has been a bit out of form), one youth teamer (who has been doing OK to be fair but very inexperienced) and two midfielders playing in the back 4 and Lawrie in a central midfield 2.

We are so short of players it's untrue.  We need a left back and cover centre back sharpish!

Credit to all that travelled

We are not playing well at all and this is a huge concern

We sit in relegation in the league

On the plus side now it is all about survival in the league no distractions

Just flirt the Cheshire cup

Need a couple more in and attitudes need to change

Carry on at this level and it's game over

All to play for now

Probably need some investor to make a real difference but unless someone wins the lottery or an ex player moves on for 5 million plus things probably wont change,

I am not going to start slagging off Lee or the squad but my concern since Lee arrived is the softy softy approach we play. Yes we can play nice football at times but every game I've seen this season we have missed a leader. First half against Chester the team were silent. We need to toughen up and play a little dirty. I feel sorry for those who travelled. Did we have two up front again? Does not work. I know we have injuries but we don't have to play that way. We are not good enough to have both Reeves and Rankine playing and my choice would be Rankine. Forever repeating posts. Sort it out Lee and get some passion back.

Interesting stat:

Reeves and Rankine have started together in 11 games this season:

0 wins
4 draws (Kidderminster, Gateshead, Chester and Leamington)
7 defeats

9 goals scored during those games. 3 of those (2 at Gateshead and the other tonight) were scored after one or the other had gone off.

Of those 9 goals, Rankine has 4, Reeves 1.

Did not tune in to Radio Robins tonight or the match updates........sort of knew what to expect tonight and instead decided just check the score at 9.40 pm instead and hoped to be pleasantly surprised by us securing a replay

As others have said, no more distractions now. We need to consign 20/20 to the rubbish bin, re-group and with (hopefully) a few more additions start to gain the points needed to secure our place in this division next season.

With Wrexham, Chester and Tranmere/Macc looking like they are going nowhere, Halifax and Southport staying up, and York coming down, we need make sure we are here next season

Thank you for the stats. Saw that they couldn't play together months ago or that we aren't good enough with two up top. This is where Lee looks weak and poor in tactics. Weak because I think he's worried about dropping either and tactically because we are a lot lot lot lot better with three man centre mid. Worrying how he reverts back to paying those two up front when they are fit.
