It was therefore madness playing such a high line in the 2nd half with a 2 goal lead and simple long balls we’re causing us all sorts of problems and on the turnover they were getting in behind us at will. There were warnings right at the start of the 2nd half with one glaring miss and you could just see it coming. So for me that one was definitely on the manager.
Thank you!

It always rests with the manager as they pay the price ultimately, but rarely get the praise.

Some positives:

- Mikey Lane looks a real player, two superb goals.
- 2-2 away at Worthing isn’t actually a bad result.
- We haven’t actually played a bad match this season, just bad results.
Another happy clapper. You’ll be buzzing when we scrape a point on Tuesday against pish poor Solihull too 💩
"scrape a point on Tuesday against pish poor Solihull too"................What are ya talking about? Someone will kick start Solihull's season - no prizes for guessing who that will be!

Mark all people are disappointed in is that he ( Murray) didn't accept any responsibility then said not making an excuse but a gale started to blow isn't that an excuse 🤔, yes it's not easy bringing in all these players but he's constantly coming out with clichés etc so he really does leave himself wide open!

The defence mirrors the manager then. 😉
The Alamo was in ruins it will take a bit of rebuilding. All I’m saying is we all need to show some patience. There was criticism we weren’t scoring and creating enough chances, that looks to have been addressed but now we are paying the price in our defence being vulnerable.
The manager has to get that balance right and given time I think he will.
Might take a bit more shuffling of the pack to get the right hand but so be it the board have backed him to do so.
