Unbelievable miss from Doyle. We can play but we cant score the chances we create and we cant defend. Behind against a side who cant play football but have players who physically dominate. Par for the course.

Not sure your opinion is representative of the fan base as a whole. Nor mine for that matter.

Don't think this going to be the case. I think the injuries have given Evatt a lot more cover than protection from criticism. Similarly the middling form is making us look likes its inconsistency as opposed to being out and out terrible. I still think the setup at Bolton is the right one, but this is very frustrating at the moment.Bertie Wooster wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 3:31 pmIf this carries on those loyal fans at the game, soaking wet through watching this powder puff shite yet again could turn on Evatt & the players if we do concede a few more.

I'm freely admit I'm making this suggestion of out desperation but should Evatt consider temporarily returning Gilks to the starting eleven?
It feels to me we might benefit more from his defensive organising than be disadvantaged by the potential drop in goalkeeping ability.

Not the worst idea, but the total absence of Gilks from even Sherpa games suggests he's nowhere near.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:05 pmI'm freely admit I'm making this suggestion of out desperation but should Evatt consider temporarily returning Gilks to the starting eleven?

Yep, this is the two-fold problem. If we scored early, we might have a chance of winning. But we don't, and what's worse we often concede early, which makes our frequent inability to score render the rest of the game pointless - literally.irie Cee Bee wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 3:56 pmUnbelievable miss from Doyle.

Eoin's owin' us a goal. He's working commendably hard, but he's shooting terribly and now sometimes passing badly too - he ended one attack with an awful ball in front of his target (Kacha I think). I love the guy but there comes a point with a struggling player where they move beyond not doing their job and stray into actively holding you back.
We still haven't scored away in the league since Charlton. Charlton!
I really, really hope he scores this half and we can all laugh heartily at this post.

There hasn't been a match this season where i've been happy with Gilks in net. Prior to the match I was happy when he was starting but he's had a few howlers that makes me feel like we'd be better suited trying out Matty Alexander there instead.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:05 pmI'm freely admit I'm making this suggestion of out desperation but should Evatt consider temporarily returning Gilks to the starting eleven?

If we got a penalty I’d expect him to miss its that bad.

Accy skipper limping off. I’ll take that

Hope the ref adds those minutes on, seemed to take an age swapping those players out.

Nothing to do with my opinion. Which is that Evatt shouldn’t and won’t be going anywhere but that he’s nowhere near as good as he thinks. Or as many make out.Mar wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:02 pmNot sure your opinion is representative of the fan base as a whole. Nor mine for that matter.

But the fans especially away fans are not happy right now. It’s just a fact. Thats not saying they want Evatt out. But needs turning round soon.

I think it could be argued there were mitigating circumstances for his poor performances early in the season. Didn't he have an operation and also catch Covid in the summer?
But my suggestion was based on him hopefully helping our defenders defend rather than his ability as a goalkeeper. Matty Alexander wouldn't offer that, and the last I heard had dropped out of the starting line-up while out on loan in non-league.

Lucky that Dixon got away with that. Didn’t see the striker do much.
