Fisherman's Friends versus Uncle Joe's balls

From Tuesday to This, there is NO consistency at all.
Tuesday was about sitting back and soaking up the pressure. Remember we created absolutely nowt in that first half. Today it's back to an ordinary game against another struggling side like Cheltenham and thinking we are Real Madrid who can pass it around and piss about trying to play football from the back.
 
We don't have the nouse to break down teams that sit back like Fleetwood are doing now. We lost this through poor play in midfield, not picking players up, giving them too much time and possession with the ball.
 
From effort, grit & determination of Tuesday to a lacklustre, pedestrian & inept display today....inconsistency being our only consistence.
How do we go from Tuesday to this....Jekyll and bloody Hyde.
Done absolutely bugger all in this second half & needing 2 goals we take off a striker for a striker...wtf
 
they have not played the conditions better that is a pathetic excuse, they have played better full stop. The conditions were not an issue in the first half.

They have played football that is suited to the conditions. Not pass and move as you say but by playing simple football and not trying to be too over intricate. Our players don't seem to understand that you can't play slick passes on mud, the ball moves slower than on a grass surface.

We were Warned before this match, if we drop our 'guard' we would get a beating and we have.
 
Same for both teams. To say the pitch doesn’t suit us is a lame excuse. We’ve lost today because we threw the towel in.

Read my next post mate, we are trying to play slick passes on a mud heap and it doesn't work, they are playing simple direct balls.
