So we equalled Wrexhams result at Barrow 1-1

Don't be reasonable

Weird game. Looked like it was gonna be a walk in the park first 20 mins, after that we were never really dangerous apart from sporadic moments, and nothing really of note.

As others have said Cameron was poor - he's good at surging forward ball at his feet, and good at heading the ball, but the rest is questionable. He got rag dolled by their striker a few times, ref wasn't buying his BS claims for fouls. Penalty was a penalty but he actually seemed a bit unlucky with how the ball came to him but I'd need to see it again.

Making the 3x changes seems to always result in a goal against quite quickly. Especially when Bostock or Palmer are taken off we look a different team.

On the positive side, the midfielders were ok, tidy enough, Crowley covered a ridiculous amount of ground. McGoldrick was clever as always, Macca pressed, but after the first 20 mins none of them really created much. Jodi Jones hardly saw the ball so hard to rate him.

Brindley was the pick of the defenders for me, several ***** interventions with either blocks or doing enough to put someone off and affect the game.

Jones wasn't in the game much Tuesday second half. 3 of our next 4 games are against top seven teams, Stags, Gillingham and Wrexham the other game is Newport. It will be interesting to see where we are after those.

A good point away but just so bloody frustrating!! - maybe we need to switch to a back 4 for the last 20 mins

Top after 12 games...we'd be doing cartwheels if offered that at the start of the season

6 straight wins for Stockport, 6 straight defeats for FGR.
Current form table now has MKD 2nd bottom and there's three threads on their forum calling for their manager to be sacked.

Stags have already had three goalless draws at home, that's as many as Notts have had at Meadow Lane in the 2020s.

Stockport are a real concern wont be long till they take over at the top,but there are 3 Automatic promotion places , as for FGR hope they get relegated

In their 12 games 26 goals have been scored, as opposed to 48 goals in ours.

Such a frustrating game to watch, you’d never have thought we were top playing like that. Credit to Barrow for getting to grips with us pretty quickly but that was as poor a performance without losing as you’re ever likely to see.

How Baldwin and Cameron stayed on the pitch today is astounding. Where is Chicksen? Surely we need someone who can read an attack and perform basic defensive duties in our back line.

LW quite rightly disgusted with the performance.

No, two points given away against an inferior team.

3 points given awsy at Colchester 5 in all against poor teams
