And so the cycle begins yet again, I’m reasonably confident in schu appointment but yet again 5/6 players just not putting the effort in or quality required for this standard, only one of our players can hold his head up today and honestly say I did my bit!

Why on earth did we bring Cundle in? I think he has been slow and weak as piss in every game! I'm sure Junho, Baker and Laurent all are better footballers than this little doll! No physical presense and slow as f--- as well!

The Cundle signing was his first significant mistake for me. Pointless signing when we needed strengthening in other key positions and one that would have likely caused dressing room unrest as he is going to be seen as a personal favourite of Schumacher. He has to be dropped against Leicester to demonstrate the manager shows suitable impartiality with the team. Sadly you can make a silk purse with a sows ear but you can demonstrate a suitable level of impartiality and I don't think he's done that with Cundle. Looking that way. He scored and assisted a few more at Plymouth but he must have been playing somewhere else because he’s barely involved, yet alone looking like being involved in goals. Maybe at Plymouth it helped being an underdog every week. Here, despite our position, we expect to win more often than not and that adds different pressures to players and managers. I still hope today is a one off but it just feels like more of the same. It really is his first bad day, and even then, shouldn’t have been 3-1 bad but the players in both boxes have absolutely caned him tonight. Think there’s a bit of an over reaction but probably stems from feeling like we’re never going to get out this cycle.

They were all crap, there's people on here that think Wilmot can organise a defence, if that's the case why was it all over the place today. But yes, Thompson isn't a full back and Gooch had no help, it wasn't good to watch. We definitely need organisation at the back - I dont think that's Wilmot's strength / role though? He's picked to progress the play which he generally does more tidily than Rose and McNally. He's actually younger than both Rose and McNally I think? and shouldn't be seen as the senior "old head" in defence He just needs an older, experienced, no-nonsense CH alongside him I think he needs to be dropped or sold, as you say he clearly isn't a leader and once or twice a game he does do well bringing it out of defence but that isn't enough for me, he has just as many faults as the others in the squad. I'm not sure about their ages too tbh.

I didn’t think you lot were too bad today. Going forward you offered some threat (that Asian player you have was tricky), but defensively you were panicking every time we came forward.
I have no idea why Gooch was left isolated to mark Clarke as well, it was too easy for Clarke when he wasn’t being doubled up on.

Did anyone see any trouble afterwards? We left on about the 80th minute as we had a lift back to Gateshead. We saw lots of police heading towards the ground & my mate messaged to say that there was a few punches thrown after the game.

He's been fantastic just recently and consistently our best player but he had a stinker today First goal of their's was a comedy of errors but Burger had the best chance to prevent it - his half-arsed attempt at winning the header is shocking

I never said it was his fault.

Well. I 100% didn't expect that today. The downside of course is that it buys that fucking charlatan another few weeks. Kudos to your manager for subbing Gooch off and letting us say goodbye to him.
On another day you score your chances at 0-0 and win the game. Best of luck for the rest of the season

If he had a stinker today then I'm afraid we're fucked as others really did have.

What would the score of been with hoover at left back? Seems there’s quite a lot of complaints about putting square pegs in round holes. I get the selection of Leris and others cus they made an influence when they came on last week, so why not, if players are going get a big upset cus they’ve been dropped that’s something that needs managing but before the result today I think that by n large the team selection was correct. However a bit strange that danger dood Clarke wasn’t thought about a bit more, get it before game, hoping to be on front foot, whilst game is going on you’d hope stuff would change, this needs come from players at the same time as well as coaches. Didn’t go listened with our Dennis. Didn’t sound too bad just got put ball in net. Much better though I get than what was happening before manager change, cus we are now complaining about not putting chances away, before we was moaning about not getting chances. This is a comment on just the game today, not about the next 100 years. You can only use the tools in front of you. We unfortunately don’t have an hammer, we’ll apart from that squeaks.

Just got home. The charity bus rolled into town good and proper today. We made them look like they were 10 points clear at the top of the table. Yes, if Cundle/Junho had found the net in the 1st half, it may have been a different story, but the space they had when they attacked was scary. Not a fan of Campbell, but he did OK. Would have been better with him as part of a front pair.

For mine, as long as SS keeps playing Campbell, it convinces me that SS is not the messiah manager we need to have.

Issue is who do we have Campbell on the outside in a 3 is workable and I'd argue he offers more goal threat than Vidigal, Leris and Haks We've signed so many poor attackers to supplement Campbell and Gayle who both needed shifting in the Summer - very worrying
