Great battling performance today..... but.....
1 Need to work,/ pressure for 90 mins not just the first 15
2 Bit more quality when playing out of defence, too many times just came straight back to us
3 Midfielder who can pass wanted now
Got out of jail today with the one strike on goal !
Still going to be a long hard season on that showing whoever takes the helm

Nobody knows how it's going to pan out but we didn't cave in when the pressure was on which is a massive positive, sounded like Debayo was not very good when coming on for Hussey but he's new to the FL so patience is needed, all in all 4 points from the last two games is a positive however we should be beating teams like Macclesfield. Positive afternoon for a change.

"We should be beating teams like Macclesfield"

Another load of old tripe

With what we have compared to them we should be, doesn't always work like that but our squad on paper is better than theirs.

On paper?!? With what we have compared to them?!? Championship Manager, FIFA or some other comparison that bears no resemblance to competitive football. Give over!

If we cannot expect to beat the likes of Macclesfield who can we expect to beat? They are relegation favourites and have probably the smallest budget in the division.

We have no divine right or expectation to best anyone. On the basis of the first three games, I'd say a draw against Macclesfield was the expected result.
Same as yesterday, but instead we won. So surpassed expectation.

It's not about divine right it's about expectation. We should expect to be beating the relegation teams just as we should expect going away to the top teams to be difficult and perhaps be happy with a point. By budget, crowds and infrastructure our natural place is probably mid-table league two.

After five games in it is too early to know who are the top teams and who are the relegation sides.

OK if you want to be pedantic they are relegation favourites along with Morecambe.
