’Not fit for purpose’. springs immediately to mind Joe !
As for the match ?..
But someone will say ‘ a point’s a point ‘ I suppose !.
Tbh, except for the first and last five minutes, Stanley looked like their priority was a clean sheet and, if it was, they achieved it.
Two mid-table teams, cancelled out each other’s efforts.
Pleased for Savin, he made some good catches, but wish he’d stick with kicking the ball from hand.
Some of the worst shooting I’ve seen for a while from both teams.

Maybe Phillips could accompany him down the road ?..
totally lacking in skill and know how !.
Glad I missed it by the sound of it
It certainly wasn't the most entertaining game, two teams struggling for form & on the whole cancelling each other out. Grateful in the end for a point & more importantly a clean sheet for Toby - if i could have one request, I'd ask that Mark Hughes (much as I love him) doesn't join Dan on the commentary again - bless him, his dulcet tones were enough to send anyone to sleep if the match itself didn't succeed in doing so
Just a quick mention for one of the opposition young center half Hayden Carter on loan from Blackburn looked a very good player today calm and assured hardly put a foot wrong and could pass it too unlike a lot of our side today who resorted to hoof ball and head tennis for large parts of the game.
Not the ‘prettiest’ of matches today. Glad we kept a clean sheet and I think we probably just deserved to edge the match with a victory if one of the very late scoring chances had gone in. I though that Harvey Rogers was our best player today. He did really well defending against their danger man Lucas Akins and also when going forward in our attacking movements. The return of Seamus added some consistency in midfield and Colby returning up front gave us some physical presence.
Another point edging us closer to certain safety.

Coley reckons he,s one of the best strikers of the ball in the side, bit harsh saying he's totally lacking in skill come into the side at a difficult time and laid it on for Colby to hit it over the bar today, can't compare him to Russell at least he looks interested whereas Russell looks completely disinterested.
The midfield was not lacking in every department Sir.
After one training session our Captain was asked to do a job.
Not only did he do it he was our best man on the pitch.
Im very proud of Seamus right now.
Agree my good friend
About right Yonmon, though I would think that lack of game time, plus returning from/carrying injury played a part...
I agree, Seamus certainly brought an improvement and stability to our midfield and he helped out in defence at set ball situations, their long throws for example. I thought our two central defenders also did a good job. I feel more reassured playing a back four with Seamus just in front as the midfield pivot.

Good points back 4 with Seamus Infront makes us more solid but the downside to the formation today was creativity, against to be honest poor opposition, but with all the problems we have had it was as Coley said good to get a clean sheet, we move on still plenty of football left Oxford a different proposition but a good hunting ground for us hopefully we'll find our shooting boots.
Don’t remember naming anyone in particular 28 !.. My post was a half-time opinion based on the inordinate number of misdirected passes, missed tackles..
and from one of our midfield players , giving up the chase and coming to a standstill when beaten !.
Second half was marginally better and the Captain was perhaps more involved in things.
Hope he continues in his recovery to full fitness !.
Thought Harvey had a fantastic game, good to see him getting forward to put crosses in the box and having a few shots, similar to the Harvey we had on loan in his first spell.
Chuffed for Toby with the clean sheet. Very mature performance and kept hold of the ball well especially when claiming high balls into his box.
Hopefully the lads who returned from injury stay injury free and we can welcome back the likes of Pritchard before end of season.

Apologies if Ive misinterpreted - I thought “every department” was pretty clear.
