Criminal of the keeper to get beaten like that. Unbelievable that we let Yates go and replaced him with that.
Daniel should've kept his head as one if the only senior players we have.
It feels like, yes we are getting sponsors in and corporate bookings and the like... But the team is being neglected... And where are the young players coming through?
I love to remain positive and even had us down for a win, but there feels like something isn't right at the top

Let’s not be too hard on Dylan Wharton. Yes, he shouldn’t have let in the winning goal. He knows that and he knows that it cost us the game. But before that he had played really well. The poor lad looked distraught at the end of the game and didn’t know what to do with himself. Other players make mistakes and get away with it. Goalkeepers don’t.
Regarding Yates leaving - That was a massive disappointment for everyone at the club, (supporters and coaches) but it was Matt’s decision to leave.
Regarding Colin Daniel being sent off, you’re right of course, but when you feel that the ref has made a mistake that is going to undo 90 minutes endeavour then it’s hard not to react in the heat of the moment. But having received the first yellow he definitely shouldn’t have commented a second time.
Of course everyone was disappointed and upset after the game. Me included. Who wouldn’t be?
Dylan Wharton got the blame for the defeat and on reflection that is unfair. He played very well and made one mistake. Let’s look beyond the result and acknowledge an outstanding performance by all the players on the night. In football matches you don’t always get what you deserve and Tuesday night was one of those occasions.
It was great to hear Deaks praising the team in his post match interview.
