Said in jest to what OldBlueLady wrote. You won't be seeing us again this season, unless we meet again in the playoffs.
And he's right! There was only one team of Wallies out there today!

Unfortunately playing Payne and two strikers is going to leave us exposed somewhere.
Whilst that sounds "delicious" on paper we have now been thrashed twice at home and as good as it was to beat Col U they arent exactly the best of teams.
Anyone still want to complain about "clean sheet policies" ?, because we need to get back to basics and having to score 3 or 4 goals to get a point isnt going to work.
. I'm not convinced that Doncaster were at that level though, nearly every chance they had was due to our inept defending, certainly all three goals were.
Brown must be hurting tonight, such an uncharacteristic team performance these last 2 games.
I don't mind losing if the opposition is decent but in both the last games they have not been at all.
i never understand at the end of the game some fans clapping the team off! What have they been watching the game!!
I don't just want to gaze admiringly at a League table, I want to see an entertaining and spirited performance and for the second match running that has not been on offer. Instead I have seen an unbalanced team, with no presence up front, little creativity in midfield and some woeful defending all hamstrung by some imbecilic team selection.
I actually thought Doncaster were a decent team and probably on a par with Millwall. Both teams thoroughly deserved to take all the points.
Can't believe the stick Adam is getting!!! Unbelievable, as holds everything good about us together, prosser / Thompson partnership isn't even good enough for the championship let alone league 2! Honestly what a load of rubbish!
glad it's Phil b picking the team and not most of the Barrett bashers
adam was far and away the most solid defender today, I'd honestly hate to have seen what would have happened today without him!
There was something good about today?
I think 7 goals in two games is bad enough - do you think it could have been worse?
It's really pathetic and moronic how the same people who were praising Barrett, Bentley etc. less than a month ago are now slating them. You sound like the **** in the South Upper today that was hurling abuse almost every time one of our players touched the ball. Yes it was another poor performance but on balance we have had a great 2015. Get behind the team or **** off.
On BBC Essex afterwards, Adrian Clarke said, "a couple of bad results don't make a bad team".
I couldn't agree more. Today's showing was proof positive of POOR MANAGEMENT, POOR TACTICS, POOR COACHING and POOR CAPTAINCY. Seems to me our biggest problems are located at the top end of the crumbling structure.
Despite your valid criticism we are 7th and still in with a good shout for the playoffs. Some good may come from this yet.On BBC Essex afterwards, Adrian Clarke said, "a couple of bad results don't make a bad team".

For the last goal, not sure how Bentley could have been better positioned. It was a penalty and Bentley stood in the middle of the goal :smile:
Sorry but I disagree with you.Poor team display.
However Bentley's positioning was not good 1st & last goals. Similar to the Barnsley home. Where he again was to blame for giving away a plenalty.
Personally I think moving on now would not be wise. Bentley is a very good keeper but not the finished article. He is still young for a keeper and getting 1st team experience in League 1 not many keepers his age can say that.
Dan sign a new contract, take confidence from this. Then get your head down, get back to the level we all know you are capable of. A sizeable offer will likely follow in the summer in any case... just a thought
