Nolan has had his fair share of the credit this season so he’s got to take the stick for that.
His team selection was piss poor, totally wrong. And his tictacs seemed to be to stand off them, absorb pressure and somehow hit them on the break. When that totally didn’t work in the first game.
Having said that, we have maybe 5 players to bring in to strengthen the team for Barnet (Tootle and Jones please) so there’s absolutely no reason why it should disrupt our season.
Salford was equally embarrassing and only a couple of years ago, but nobody was thinking about that when we smashed Crewe in front of a massive crowd.
For what it's worth tonight was awful. Weirdly, bizarrely, inexplicably awful. I put off something important to watch it, am already getting the piss ripped out of me on Facebook, and to make matters worse I had a couple of bets on Swansea with huge handicaps in the first game when I thought this would happen and nothing tonight.
But what can we do? Call for Nolan out when he's over performing? Boo the players? Protest against the chairman when he's doing a great job? Whistle's gone, start thinking about Barnet.
