Lindsey needs to start earning his money for starters get rid of that useless goalkeeper and get one that's actually half decent and a centre forward who can make a nuisance of himself and while he's at it sort out that rubbish of a defence that ships goals for fun.

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.
Poor in possession and outplayed all over the pitch. Second half was better but still took a while to get into the match.
We need to take more shots because its gets the crowd going and gives the team more encouragement. I remember when Orsi had a shot saved and a few minutes later Wright had a shot which flashed across the goal mouth and both those goals got the crowd going and got us in the game.
We went direct today but Orsi is not a target man, and when he did get a flick on (which was rare) no one was running on to it. We didn't win any first balls and lost the majority of second balls.
I think if the red card came slightly earlier we would have got a draw. We gave it a good go in the second half but need to improve a lot if we are going to climb the table.
We struggled defensively with their pace and Ransom struggled and looked rusty which is understandable since he hasn't played much football.
Quick turn around so we need to dust ourselves down and go again. Come on u reds.
First half. In red and white giving prezzies...that reminds me of someone. Oy yeah. Shit footballers. I dont know what was said to the players when they came out for the first half but I very much doubt it was 'sell your mates short' ' I want to see a few hospital balls ' or ' don't tackle or save'. It was embarrassing.
It was better second half but we didn't do anything until Lalos came on and gave us a spark. We could off sneaked a draw (or even a win) but in truth we didn't deserve it because that first half was just so bad.
I thought their sending off was very harsh and we were lucky to have the goal disallowed for offside. You don't see them ruled out too often even though I think it might have been the correct decision.
We are in desperate need for some drive and strength in the middle of the park. Here's hoping we can get some come January.
What an absolute embarrassment, firstly we put Friday night football on WHY?Then AFC turn up in the home areas, we sell lots of tickets (did everyone actually attend, not so sure), what we do know is the players never turned up. Corey MUST repeat MUST be back in goal after tonight even SL can see that surely? Orsi once again ineffective. Wrong set up and SL is now being found out he isn't capable of taking this club further than mid-table league 2. Shambolic tonight and we only got back in the game because the dirty AFC helped us by ending up playing 10 v 11 SORT IT OUT WAGMI

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.

We are what we are and what we are is average which as you say shows against the better teams
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.
