Onwards and hopefully upwards.

I remember somebody else who liked that phrase, and it didn't end well!

[Mark_Ross]

Let's bl**dy hope so. Onwards and hopefully upwards.

We have to hope for better!

[uysapie]

It's the hope that kills you. Different manager, same crap.

[uysapie]

I repeat, if there's a positive to be gleaned from tonight's rubbish it's what LW learns from it in terms of formation and tactics going forward, to give the players more chance to perform at their best.

Chuffing big "if" .

What a depressing read this is!

Good job we aren't supporting the champions-elect Wrexham with their 4 points, or Halifax who are bottom.

Obviously not good enough, but we go again on Saturday.

Keep the faith!

I'm abit underwhelmed so far this season. The defence looked terrible against BW, some of the space BW had was shocking and apparently not going well tonight by all accounts. I thought LW might have sorted them out abit better by now. Granted it's early in the season and I'm not being negative for the sake of it, I'm just going on what I've seen and reports. I think it's probably going to be next season before LW gets them to the place he wants them by the looks of it.

And we were just getting optimistic 😂 after late equaliser NOT!!

THANKS FOR A REAL VIEW OF MATCH 👍

I think there’s a fair chance Parkinson will go soon, he’s getting absolute pelters on their Twitter. I’d be interested after LWs interview from people who went, did we actually have the best chances of the game regardless of if we weren’t great?

Getting overwrought by a post match interview at this stage of the season seems a bit dramatic.

Though if Francis starts on Saturday I’m rioting.

[Priam]

Jesus are you lot real.

Rarely come on here and I now remember why. How the f** do we win a game with you lot whining from the stands. 3 games in. 1 home win. 2 away draws. Grow up.

[Elite_Pie]

How the f** do we win a game with you lot whining from the stands.

Pretty simple answer, we score more goals than the opposition.

In my experience games are won on the pitch rather than in the stands.

The post match interview appeared to match the performance. Both require an improvement. Early days but a stuttering start. Hopefully it gets better. As things stand nothing much has changed it appears. We have a coach who talks a good game and a team that is patchy but has less tools to unlock opposition defences than it did. Lets hope the money from the sale of Roberts and the money made from pre season friendlies is wisely invested soon on the pitch.
