Even before we managed to throw that one in, we had 5 or 6 chances to lump it down the pitch but couldn't kick the ball properly. Group of absolute rank amateurs.

free agent market for a right back and money has been set aside for such a purchase apparently.................For me, all there is left to say - the sooner the better, cos 'hope' all but gone now.
What a let down for that good travelling support.

If only someone addressed that we are weak as [SwearFilter] on the right hand side and have been all season and maybe signed a right back eh

Don't mention a lack of a right back!!!!

Why you sorry . He’s [SwearFilter] shite so are the rest of them.

Farman would have stopped the last 2 goals. We have downgraded the whole squad this season and this team wouldn't even be pushing for play offs in the National League. Absolutely in the mire now and I can't see a way out.

Surely fitness must come into question, don't look fit enough

Send Malcom back to Stevenage he is utter SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!

winter bottom or new lad to be in goal next game as stanway clearly isn’t upto it sadly

Exactly, we should have kept Farman another season to train up the young lads

Im sat on the bus in near silence.

We cant invite pressure like that. We had no answer 2nd half. And, again the last 2 basic mistakes.

Not to mention panicking and losing the ball as the half went on.

To the bitter, bitter end.

He had 2 chances to clear the ball! apart from rose and Freddie Anderson this January window was a disaster but Hornby was happy says it all!

Hard to disagree with any of the above. The last half hour was dreadful really, we went from being in control to conceding a soft goal and then losing it completely. A draw would’ve been bad enough but to lose that is unforgivable and I wonder what damage it will do mentally too. Unfortunately you could see it coming and we stopped passing, gave the ball away too easily and let them get joy in the wide areas. Thompson buckled under the pressure misplaced passes poor positioning but wasn’t alone. Rose going off was suicidal we don’t have a midweek game so why? Malcolm offers nothing and gives the ball away.
Less said about the winner the better poor from Stanway who had a decent game tbh but again it’s concentration and key moments.

The third goal was always going to be crucial and we gifted it to them first time we really slipped up but after that we were hanging on and needed to change it. Wave after wave of attack and we couldn’t get out.

Unfortunately there’s nothing on the bench either to be able to really change it up no quality. Our only hope is getting some of the injured players back but I think today might be one we look back on as where if we do go down we really chucked it away. Mindset, game management, concentration and quality just isn’t there we’ve never put in a 90 minute performance all season and we’re hardly likely to now we’re not capable. I really do worry now that we’re in awful form and sliding out of the league again…

Wait till you see the goals Steve pathetic doesn't cover the description!

The hard work was done at halftime. They just needed to play with their heads and show some organisation and grit in defence second half. Absolutely gutted, how do you pick them up after that capitulation.

I cannot believe it. 0-2 up, looked at full time and 3-2. Absolutely shocking and can only see relegation. Didn’t see the game so can’t comment on Stanway today, but how he has been touted for a move is beyond me as I don’t think he is worth paying money for, more mistakes/bad games than good and time to give someone else a go. Defence also questionable so not just picking out Stanway but don’t know the answer to our defence problem as none of them seem up for it.


How long is this manager going to get?
