In the end a disappointing day,defending still not up to par but hopefully we’ll get it sorted out soon.Give it sometime for the new players to gel and then we will see.Not much more to say about this game so will reserve my judgment for a later time.COYR

Positives: good first half, in front twice, Cam Archer scoring again, great free kick from Manning, new signings look good

Negatives: poor second half, defence all at sea, Bazunu once again failing to stop a goal from a tight angle, Ref was hilariously one sided

Another game with Jack Stephens starting that we havn't won. Hopefully against Pompey we will go to a back four and drop Stephens!

Should have won, looked decent going forward looked shakey as ever at the back, hopefully ditch the 3 centre backs once the new signings arrive

Looked likely winners after the first half, but got bullied when Baah came on and him and their other scorer looked like the two best players on the pitch. Robinson looked our best player.

Should have finished them off at 1-0, but not clinical enough.

Who knew Manning would become a free kick guru?!

We look like we will be challenging for play offs, but nothing too much more on this evidence, but still early days. Much preferring this season to last anyway.

Same issue every week. Been the same since Ralf left. Defence all at sea. No communication, no leadership on the pitch.
But then equally look at the rise of Jack Stephens at saints. Was loaned out under Ralf and couldn't get in our team. Now captain and first player on the sheet.

Says it all really. Lack of a leader is a real issue. Name our current one!
