Probably the most disappointing performance of the season for me and we deserved nothing from that game at all. We did not test the keeper once in the entire game. To be fair to Cheaterfield they did a job on us by pressing, working hard, giving us no time on the ball and nullified any threat because we did not have the dominance of play or possession. We did not have anywhere near the quality, energy, creativity or spark to overcome that in the final third as has been the case many times this season.

It's games like today where our lack of creativity and ability to score more goals is going to cost us points. It puts more pressure on us getting a result against Stockport next.

There is no doubt about it we are far weaker up top this season having lost Thomas and Dennis. If we fail to get promoted this will be one of the key reasons.

Some some reason Ardley cannot see this but whilst ever Doyle is allowed to control play, we will struggle and the forwards will have very few goal-scoring opportunities and we will have to rely on the odd occasion when either Enzio, Rodrigues (or Roberts when available) produce a flash of brilliance. WE cannot rely on this to get us promoted. Ardley have to see sense or move on.
I whole heartedly agree with this. Some on here will tell you that he is the Messiah, but I think he is the root of all our problems.
