Subs on 65 mins changed the momentum towards WW....

Camera & Dan K's energy were missed & their goal was coming

Some of the 'nailed on' Senior players need to take a look at themselves...

Wing & Savage were poor.

MOM is lacking in any discernible attributes...

Dan K was the bright spark.

Defence looked OK...

Hunt's (lack of) tactics are worrying...

Can we just concede?

Where is the energy we showed last midweek?....

This is embarrassing

Those attacking stats dont need AI to tell you its poor.....

What's happened to Savage???

Its like he's been replaced by a cast member of the Walking Dead...

Oh, Lewis Wing IS playing....

Agree, the press is all over the place, why can't they coordinate it...

Anything new coming out at all or all quiet on the western front? Absolutely nothing. Totally quiet. Which is weird. Something is either about to happen, like us pulling rabbit from the hat and we sign some great striker that they’ve been keeping under wraps. Or we’re fcuked and have nothing lined ...

'At the moment we are greatly in need of a Dixon, Senior or a Kitson'. I'm too young to remember Dixon, but genuinely I don't think a Senior in his prime (pre Watford move) could score the goals he did in 2025 League 1 - the game, even at this level has changes so much in the last 35 years... Kitson...

Substitutions: Does anyone else get the impression that the raft of substitutions on either 65 mins or 75 mins feel mechanically pre-determined rather than responding to the specific game dynamics? I mean I like to see a change if things aren't working - but recently it seems that as soon as we make...

I'm a bit worried about our (lack of) attacking play....

Confidence is fragile and the lack of conviction from forward players to create and take chances isnt helping....

I hope Hunt has the wherewithal to turn it around, but this is more reminiscent of caretaker Hunt than last season's Hunt....

Yup...

Bit like Jackson's Department store - everyone was sad when it closed down, yet not enough people shopped there...

Thanks.

If I've read your summary correctly, Tim Dellor's explanation for the dearth of local football journalism is:

"it’s tragic we don’t have that sort of thing any more but that’s the way digital media has gone."

....

Mine is completely the opposite. I've given up trying to view on my iPhone. In contrast, my virus protection suite on my PC and laptop kills off all pop ups. Interesting - my phone is a Samsung and I use the Samsung web browser... On my windows laptop, I get pop ups at every click - I'll check my s...

Journalists have to demonstrate some professional standards. If Earnshaw acted like Brogue he'd be fired in seconds. Yes you're right as they have to be more careful to maintain a club relationship but they add absolutely nothing. The Tilehurst End have just done a great piece with the new media gu...

The local media business model has been broken for years & no-one quite knows how to fund it properly... The lack of scrutiny on elected officials by independent local media is a timebomb waiting to go off also... The AI isation of the Internet with short AI summaries changing click-through beha...

Yea, but does he have pace?....

I've heard Hunt say he wants 'experience' over and over so fully expecting incomings to be 30+...
Which is fine if they have pace...

I hope he tears it up...

Almost feels like a response to some of the most recent discussions on this thread.... Appreciate the time and trouble to address these items, including the 'tightrope' of hype vs. reality at the start of the window.... One item that JJ mentioned that ppl often forget is the cost off add ons - he me...
