Stockport losing 2-0 to Cambridge.


Schon not getting any benefit of the doubt from this referee.

Not that it should worry folk but we've had 1 shot. Not on target.

That was pretty poor, overall.

Yeah it's not good enough, again.

I do think there's a future for McAtee at 9 but I'm not sure it's with the two 10s being Schon and JOT, even if they have claims to those roles.

Morley's picking a bad week to be so quiet, with Thomason ready on the bench.

With us losing and Murphy struggling I wonder if Schuey is considering switch Schon to LB, which would also open up a 10 slot (presumably for Collins to come on), but it would be a risk as Orient have looked decent down that side. Depends if they sit and hold what they have - they've got a lot of wins to nil this season.

As it stands it's another defeat to nil for us against a top-10 team, which has happened far too much under both full-time managers. I do however have faith that things will change in the second half. COYWM.

This is shit. I hope it improves by the time I get back.

Second best all over the pitch and in a few cases think we are not even that. Has the horrible feeling that we’ve just come up against a side with better players on better form and not sure we can change it much. Totally outplayed bar a short spell where we got on top but had no end product or threat.

Hard to see how you even change it as we are struggling at the back. Midfield has no zip and McAtee making no impression up top.

Strangely flat atmosphere pre game too almost like it was in the air.

Like I said earlier, it's aall about who wants it the most. We're being hunted by every club and still playing pat-a-cake like we're wining. Wake up lads, we have to score two to win. :box:

Orient are above us. You can’t say they are hunting us. They are just in one of those runs that teams who challenge put together where they are a very tight and effective unit who get results. We lack that ability - we are more rag tag and I guess let’s be honest underdogs and not really showing the enterprise an underdog needs.

Like last Saturday, I was out and missed the first half. Worked out pretty well a week ago, so let’s hope for a repeat.

Nobody seems to have even asked the question on here or the BW match thread, which is a bit odd

Collins on for Matete, says Derek, so it might be for Tutu...

Why the hell was Schon on his heels then when JDC was CLEARLY going to try to find him?

Got to stop looking to the ref for a free kick and get on with it. They aren't going to give us anything so play like that and if we do then bonus.

I'm in between painting my daughter's room today so I have the option to watch it dry, if this stays the same then I might be tempted.

First time I've seen a player try and tackle nobody.
