The performance was awful only positives, was Nombe trying, the Forest youngster winning more headers in 5 minutes than JCH and Hugill did all first half, Phillips stopping it being 3 or 4 and a real battling performance from Odofin, other than that it was very very bad. I said after Grimsby we are just a huff and chase team and got passed off the pitch in the 2nd half, we haven't scored since then. We seem to hope for set piece goals yet in the last minute we can't even take a corner correctly. The style of football is shocking, in fact there isn't any football it is a series of "hail marys". Evans said we would get a Rotherham style back, well that was what we saw from Exeter, giving everything to get the points. There were a lot of players in Rotherham shirts that looked slow, not bothered and completely lacking any belief or confidence. Yes odofin should have scored just before they did and Christ just after, but we don't look capable of scoring goals, since we did preseason against the non-league teams we haven't looked like creating clear chances and taking them, that is a real worry. the midfield is crying out for kelly to bring some calmness into the game. I feel lower after that game than i did last year against Stoke it was a league higher, we got back into the game last year and went down to 10 men, we could have played another hour and we wouldn't have scored today. Now a lot has to improve, i don't want excuses from Evans the ref wasn't great but it was for both sides, I want us to put a good team out against Crewe and win the game in 90 mins and put a real performance in next Saturday, a lot has to improve on that today. Perhaps losing and playing so bad might help us in the long run, it certainly means we need to spend the Ollie money on a good player to run that midfield.
