Didn't play badly. A draw wouldn't have flattered us. If we'd been playing like this since the start of the season we'd be comfortable.

It was quite a soft shot. It wasn't about the power, it was the placement, and incredible bend he puts on it (re Livermore's 1st) |

Hate losing to Watford. Especially when it's down to two strikes from Pontins Bognor Regis Clarke Gabel look-a-like winner, Jake Livermore. How was the Kashmiri mix Disco? Not tried those before  |

Willock has been a joke today, absolutely pathetic. Should play on the left alongside Chair. Always plays better there. Makes Chair play better too. Been banging on about that for yonks! |

Smyth’s put in 3 brilliant crosses Excellent cross from Smyth. Mega-dose of humble pie required for his critics after that 2nd half performance. Similar in last game too. |

Ffs Smyth’s put in 3 brilliant crosses and fuck all on the end of them. Our lack of goal threat is criminal. This is one of the big problems. We don't have anyone with that poacher's instinct to gamble and attack where they think the ball will go. They hang back. Dykes is just uncoachable in this respect and Armstrong has no finish on him. |

Not tried those before It was alright thanks stan!. Spicy. unfortunately though i shat me lonsdale jogging bottoms clean through when i snorted the amyl nitrate after jimmy dunnes johan neeskens style 40 yard pass that went straight into the stand. Still got half of the Lager keg left for the snooker this afternoon. ;-) |

Used up the remaining amyl nitrate after Paals 2nd half freekick that went 23 millimeters into the air. Ian Druys left peg could deliver a better set piece.

Just back from playing 5 a side this morning.
Actually forgot we were playing.
Seeing the result I just kind of shrugged… totally expected.
Haven’t felt this disinterested since I don’t know when.
Don’t know whether to feel sad, or relived that I’m not that upset at losing.
Certainly feeling this way is better for my mental health.

Back when we all posted on WRTRBs i was labelled as part of the " Gang of Four Members " because i thought Fernandes would herald the demise of Rangers .... Not saying i told you so ..... But , i told you so ! We will still be there next season in Division 1 ( which is really division 3 )Its not like we havnt done it before......... Indeed Vesps. Wish it was still called Division 3. I miss those days - none of this this "League 1" shit. |

Disappointing result but it felt like we more than deserved a win if we took our chances.
Armstrong needs to play more to improve even though his lack of finishing cost us today.
Willock and Field were both invisible today.

That’s a hard one to take as I thought we more then deserved a point and had we taken chances could have won that.
We don’t create enough chances to be wasteful but that is exactly what we are. Armstrong could have had a hat trick, certainly should have had a brace but as I’ve been saying for well over a season he’s not a striker, no matter how much we want him to be or the patients we show he is not, he has to score those chances today but it’s not in him. I’m not writing him off as I think there is a role for him out wide but we are I’m afraid waisting our time playing him down the centre. He worked bloody hard so not questioning his overall effort.
That’s as good a game Dunne has had in a while played it simple. What do you say about Willock huffed and puffed to produce nothing. He’s a player who needs games to find form but we need the form now not in feb or march.
Salter was MOM. Not a big fan of Smyth but he made things happen when he came on with his pace hence why him one wing and Armstrong other would be my way forward.
They literally had two shots and they both went in which sums up our luck where when we get similar chance end of game their keeper pulls off a worldy.
We’re in games, we’re competitive but we don’t put the ball in the net. Our tempo going forwards is more often then not easy to play against and we don’t back ourselves enough to just take a shot we instead opt for the extra pass.
Starting to look bleak as even our good performances are rewarded with nothing.

End of season stay up or go down I would get shot of keeper. He’s nothing special and there will be younger keepers equally as good for a lot less dough.

Whichever way you look at mate, it's risible. |

Thats as good as we are.
On the plus side it wasn't that bad a performance. Our problem is that we dont take the points off sides who, frankly, are at least as poor as we are.
If that changes, we can survive. But we have to stop going missing like we tend to.

When asked about the transfer window and incoming players in his Sky interview Marti gave a very barbed answer that the club would need to answer that one.
Marti would be a big loss if the owners have sold him a different story prior to agreeing to join.

You would hope they would have learned their lesson with Beale but you never know with our board sadly |
