Difference in game was they had quality fast strikers and a keeper playing well and we didn't. Their strikers won the game in the first 20 minutes and their keeper kept them in it in the last 20 minutes. We played much better when Lolos and Adeyemo came on. They both need to play more.
The fact is we are a young inexperienced side and it shows when we play better opposition. We have played 5 of the top 7 at home, and lost all 5. Only point we have got from too 7 was away at Stockport.
Yes the opposition once again out run us, we are too slow, not fit? Lolos should've been in the starting line up. Does SL have a plan A (that works)? He certainly is slow to implement any change and I'm not sure he has a clear plan B more; like make it up as we go along which is really poor for this std of football. We are going to have a very tough remainder of the season unless something changes for the better real soon. Get Corey back in goal for starters, he has proved he is a better keeper. Why doesn't SL play him? OK ref wasn't greet but this wasn't on him it was on you Lindsay you set these players up to fail!
Get Corey back in goal for chrissakes. He's a shot stopper. Kind of fundamental for a goalkeeper. He also doesn't go walkabout up to the halfway line every five minutes.
And what the hell does Lolos have to do to get a start? He should be up front with Adeyemo. Players that try to make things happen.
Agree lolos deserves a start. Cory is a shot stopper but bring in other unwanted baggage. Their no 10 and keeper were the standouts tonight

Unwanted baggage? What does that even mean? Corey is a better keeper than LAH. Get him in the team.
I’m not a big fan of singling out players but Ransom is just not good enough and is heavily exposed with our style of football, he can defend dead ball situations but looks lost when trying to start an attack from the back.
Ransom is a no-nonsense CB. We need him. He was rusty tonight after not playing for ages. Lindsey needs to scrap this playing out from the back nonsense. We can't do it. This is L2 ffs. It's costing us matches. And i wish he would stop subbing off Kellan Gordon. One of our standout players. He gets attacks going, plays killer balls in, really pacey wing back.

Agreed. We have a very inexperienced team and it shows against the wiser more seasoned pros in opposition teams.
Our play was crying out for a creative spark and that arrived as soon as Adeyemo and Lolos came on. Too little too late.
SL rightly bewildered with that first half performance last night. As a basic requirement, the team has to be on it from the start so I’m amazed that they weren’t considering it’s a derby game.
On another note, I can see what the likes of Gladwin brings to the team with his influence on the younger players etc, but sometimes he’s a car crash of a player.
Watching him in recent games he’s losing the ball too often in dodgy areas and it nearly always results in the opposition going straight forward in to attack.
Im sure he knows this more than anyone but he really does need to sharpen up and play better.

Oh Northgate don't be so coy! Only my view and others may agree or disagree
Kicking - oh dear Presence in box - whoops Command of high balls - really Communication with defenders- as good as ours ! Passing out from back - pass me the pills quick BUT I totally agree he is a great shot stopper
On the bright side we only have to play 4 of the top 12 at home, and five of the bottom seven are still to visit us. We are normally much better at home, so should be able to pick up a lot of home wins next year.
Why do we always bottle it against them? And why Al Hamadi is still playing at this level I have no idea. Gladwin a passenger again he is simply not fit enough, his knee is really hindering him. Only positives to take were Lolos’s play and passion and roles trying to open up the play more. Imo as soon as Kelly came off I would have put roles on instead of Darcy. We were hopelessly exposed in the middle of the park.
Concerned that Scott was NOT Concerned how few clean sheets we keep. Gives impression to defence ok to concede a goal a game.
However we have lost 7 out of 12 games we conceded first but won 6 out of 10 games we scored first, including both clean sheets. More concentration on defending needed especially in first half.
I note he said team coming in both Saturday and Christmas Eve, but I thought game was bought forward to give players more time with family?
Gladwin not match fit should be on the bench same for Campbell.Roles,logos and Adebayo should start they have the size, aggression and skill for Div 2 and bring back Addi in goal.
I wasn't there as busy with other stuff, but that first goal looked dreadful. Was our keeper deceived by the ball's bounce on the sand? On the second goal, the defender gave too much space. Keeper might have done better, but maybe not as it was a decent shot. Ours was good, of course. All our goals are great, even if it's a deflection off someone's arse.
