Abject. Absolutely awful.
This was up there with the performance at Bradford, and indeed any horror show I've witnessed in nearly 30 years of watching.
The players look like they don't want to play for anyone (not even themselves) and the simple things are being done so badly it is hard to watch. Watching players who you know are good enough to compete at this level misplace simple 5 yard passes is very painful.
Wycombe were also poor and also look doomed. For short spells we looked comfortable, and enjoyed reasonable possession but all of this came to precisely nothing - no chances, no shots, nothing.
And you just knew we'd gift them something because we gift every team something. This time it was the keeper's turn to play Father Christmas when he stayed rooted to his line when Kevin was holding off a Wycombe attacker to allow the ball to reach the keeper. It should have been a simple "take" but the Wycombe player managed to escape the clutches of Kevin and hooked the loose ball into the net.
Game over.
Second half saw us enjoy occasional forays into the Wycombe half but each and every time they came to nothing with misplaced passes causing any momentum to be lost.
I'd describe our play as Snakes and Ladders football. Just when we get to a decent part of play we land on a snake and disappear down to the bottom of the board.
Pre-match talk was awash with all manner of rumours. Here are the 4 that stick out.
1. Adams is off this week after the club have accepted an offer. Possibly from bury.
2. Widdowson refused to travel down with the team.
3. Tutte has been busy feeding this messageboard inside info, and being generally disruptive towards the Beech regime.
4. Coleman is coming in on Monday with both ourselves and Accy agreeing compo of £70,000.
I stress these are rumours coming into the away stand via various sources and to be fair they provided much more entertainment than anything we saw on the pitch.
Meanwhile, down at the other end in the second half, we were busy gifting Wycombe more goals. Their second was from a routine high ball into the box. A Wycombe player, virtually unchallenged, headed the ball to a colleague who was allowed time and space to turn and finish well.
And a bit later they scrambled a 3rd when yet more hesitant defending cost us.
Coming back we chatted about our worsening plight. We all felt that though Eyre has been replaced, nothing has really changed in terms of performances and results. It is clear there is dressing room unrest and upset. This is not a team, it's a collection of players thrown together in a last throw of the dice. There is no passion and nobody wanting to take responsibility to have a shot for example.
Not doing ratings as collectively they wouldn't hit double figures.
Someone mentioned, whilst walking away before the final whistle, that we're going down with a whimper. We're not. It's much worse than that after what I saw today. I'd gladly take going down with a whimper now as that would be a distinct improvement on the absolute shambles we've witnessed today and at home to Stevenage last Saturday.
Another wasted day and £50. I won't be bothering going to Charlton as it will most likely be a massacre and £60 down the drain. |  |

Saw you waiting at the players exit near the coach. Did you vent your spleen at them or congratulate them on the way out? |  | | |

Their passing was more clinical.They deserved the win but I thought 3-0 flattered them. BBM messing up a simple pass early doors. Bog unable to get onto simple passes. Infact Bog was, sorry to say it, useless. We were caught offside about 5 times in the first half. We are unable to football our way past the line of defence. AA tried but shots were blocked. Jonah put the most effort in and had shots blocked. JK had shots blocked. Kev put in a good shift and was willing to push forward. Ormerod had a good shot well saved, he prodded and poked but couldn't quite open the door. Adams couldn't get past his man. "Godwin is our saviour" was sung as soon as he came on...but not yesterday as he couldn't get a sniff.
Yes, our Santa goalie gifted them the first, yet AGAIN poor marking in the box for the second and the third could have been dealt with better.
There's only one solution...Coleman. Not saying he will keep us up (although he will have a good go), but he's one hell of an insurance policy if we do drop.
If Carlsberg did League 2 football insurance it would be Coleman. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I felt their opener was 100% down to the Amankwaah. A big fella like him should not be getting out muscled by a lesser opponent like that. But it highlights everything about this club this season, we don't have the will to win that our opposing teams do. |  | | |

Well...both DaleWorld & GMR thought the same, and it certainly looked poor defending to be shielding the ball so far out. Not much chance for the keeper to come and collect it imho.
Spoke to people who were there and one says keeper error, whilst the other says Amankwaah.
Either way; it was a poor poor goal to concede . |  | | |

First goal Amankwahs fault for reasons stated above
Second goal defences fault-good finish but way too much room in area
Third goal-Kurucz mishandles a bread and butter cross |  | | |

You need to buy a flask.
One other thing you might like to think about, Taz, is given that the long distance coaches keep getting cancelled, why don't you just book advance train tickets instead, as they will invariably be cheaper. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

How does the coach being cancelled effect food and drink, if you got the coach would you have not eaten or drank anything. Also you have been let down by the coach in the past, so i really have no sympathy for you, as you keep relying on it, knowing that its open to being cancelled if not filled and in reality, with the way we are playing, why would anyone spend good money on that?
What you should have done if pre booked a seat like a month in advance, which saves alot of money, i happen to know this as fact, as i work on the railway. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Tazzy, I agree. There is no reason why the club cannot provide transport for supporters. All it takes is some planning on their part.
However as you'll never be sure, and they can't guarantee that service, you should probably look at trains. |  |
