Fleetwood was just over 4K - so it is worse than you thought

And by way of comparison; Shrewsbury last season was on a Saturday (24/9) and drew 4318.

8 games to go. Fleetwood will be expecting an easy game on Saturday (an early goal should settle them right down) so we'll see what sort of game we actually give them.

Fleetwood

you still need to compare like with like though don't you -or as near as you can get - who was less than 4k on a Saturday last season ?

I'm still flummoxed by this idea of trying to 'out-football' teams. We'll still lose to the good teams and now the middling and shit teams can just kick us out of their way.

He just alluded to the fans probably thinking that a very tough season was in store and didn't say anything to counter that notion

Kyle - can you explain what NA said mate?

Maybe we are just shit

Hangover from the last 10 games of last season maybe.

Trebor - We played the same systems vs both Brentford and Shrewsbury, but made three personnel changes, one of which was most definitely not for the better. As for the 120 minute-effect, only Fuller, Robinson and Parrett of the outfield players who played the whole of Tuesday night started the match on Saturday. More than 3.5 days between the end of one game and the start of the next. On a boggy pitch in late February, I might agree but not at this stage of the season.

Even so we only dipped below four k twice last season and only one of those on a Saturday

Shrewsbury brought less than 300 - so we were not that many down really - we will be if we carry on playing like that though

I have sort of written of Saturday's performance as I don't think the 120 minutes against an excellent Brentford side helped. We were excellent in the 2nd half at Scunthorpe, so will be interested how we get on with Fleetwood & Doncaster.

just bought the football league paper , ardleys comments sound pretty catastrophic .

Our attendance was shit as well . Only tin pot Rochdale got less and there wasn't a lot on it .

What works tactically against teams like Watford, Burton and Brentford doesn't work so well against typical League One sides, arguably.

Yea a home defeat against a decent Championship side was definitely one that I am concerned about....

I am anxious this 4-3-3 system works for NAs sake as this will be the third session in a row that we have started with a system we end up ditching due to square pegs being in round holes. It's getting tiresome and that's being kind.

CW - The home kit has more white than red this season, I could see why that wore black on Saturday, not sure why they wore it at Bradford on Tuesday though.

Doncaster - I didn't see the Scunny match, but my thoughts coming away from the Brentford game were that if we simply played as well in League 1 as we did during the first 90 minutes, then we'd comfortably end up in the top half of the table.

Not to be worried about relegation I mean.

I'm more worried about our performance against Shrewsbury than the result. You sometimes lose games and that's fine but the fact we weren't able to muster a single clear cut opportunity to score over 90 mins at KM was, yes, a disgrace. I hope it's a one off and a case of getting a shit performance out of our system. Reminded me of that horrific game against coventry last season when we equalised in the last minute but most people were too embarrassed to celebrate.

Windlesham - I'd have to say bit on the side as I see the "Mrs " more often.

2 home games 2 defeats is not a good start particularly as Shrewsbury were supposed to be relegation candidates but made us look like it instead
