Following on from the picture gallery below, a short summary of the "performance" against the Tangerine Army.
The terrace was open as usual, and pretty full, for at least 70 minutes of the game. We played 4-4-2 for most of the game, with Angie and More Reasons leading the line, Klingon and the Gunnar holding the centre and Ten Burners and Marti Caine propping up the defence. Jack Cork, who may just be nicknamed Son of Alan, played out wide, with Comedy Roadshow sprinting down the line on the other side. In the Afternoon and the Dutchie supported the wingers down the flanks. That was the theory anyway
The lowlights of the game - most of the minutes, where the defence were all at the seaside, the midfield were playing beach football, and the front two couldn't get near the ball. Opta stats would show 3 shots on target, but none of the shots would have reached the goal-line, let alone troubled the keeper. We were very very poor, and Don Key ignored the youth team options on the bench which may have changed the energy levels if nothing else. The SBA stomached the "display" for 70 minutes, until most gave up, vented their disgust and left to find some entertainment.
The highlights of the game. The final whistle wasn't too bad. We discussed a man of the match for a while, and failed to come up with one.
It was that bad.
Where to from here?
A lack of activity before the transfer window closed means only one of 2 things. There is no money available, and we will be stuck with the "squad" we have until January, where we could be in the bottom 3 if this continues. Or, we've got some free agents lined up ready to jump in over the next 10 days.
We must keep the faith, it's a marathon, not a snickers.
