Teams like the Cobblers find it easy to overrun our midfield, and win unjustified fouls from weak referees. Sad top say this is because of Evatt's failure to provide defensive midfield cover with a strong box-to-box in the summer. Although Ollie Norburn is just over 30,(possibly in Evatt's view too old) he was available before joining Blackpool, where he showed his worth in our EFLTrophy defeat. If opponents continue to kick Sheehan out of the game, and Thomason renders himself increasingly ineffective it's no use complaining about the poor returns from our strikers, whose service is becoming more and more limited. True Ian Evatt, possibly through injuries, is making some peculiar team selections at present. BUT his one big mistake in my opinion was not to replace JD Williams. Our games in hand now look in jeopardy.

I'd have taken a point before the game, and 10 men snap your hands off.
But it doesn't feel right does it?
We just don't look good enough.
Can't believe Jerome has got the pick on Bodvarsson again. Jerome is done.
So many negatives today. Delighted with a point. But I'll question the whole system again as we are so much better than what we're showing. We don't ever seem to want to win the first half?

We don't ever seem to want to win the first half? Spot on OooooM Summats not right 29th December last league Dion goal 23rd Jan last league Adeboyejo goal Only just beat Burton at home with an own goal Only scraped past Cheltenham with 3 shots on target 1 shot on target v Leyton, beaten 1-0 Draws v Barnsley & Northampton Can’t recall any league goals for JDB, Nlundulu or Jerome Oddly enough, we have 10 shots on target and beat Exeter 7-0, 8 shots on target and we do Carlisle 4-1 Common denominator = shoot more (that’s not the Evatt way) So he buys one of the leagues best front men and benches him This is a crucial period in the league given that we are on the brink of the top two with a great chance to cement that spot with games in hand, but who, on here, is confident we will make them count?? Also, just because Evatt got sent off(again) shouldn’t mean he cannot speak to the media!! Why send Atherton out to do his dirty work? He should have fronted up with an explanation of why we are shit showing far too often!!

After the Barnsley game there was someone on the mainland who said something along the lines of "evatt won't be happy with Collins for crossing the ball from there when he could have gone backwards and kept possession" obviously facetious and tongue in cheek but I do worry that maybe Evatt will try and change his game to suit the system and that he isn't getting starts is because he doesn't play the Evatt way.
Again Dion when we first signed him seemed to run the channels, miles more raw energy and pace. Recently he's so, innefective.

So that’s Sarce Dapo John Sadlier Dion Collins All not playing the Evatt way😳😬😂😂 In my eyes this will be seen as a major disaster if we fail to get up this term

OohMac that could be the same case about Victor he just doesn’t fit the Ian way I’ve said it before he’s trying to shoe horn him into his system instead of just letting him play his game and if he was to just play his game the player we want him to be might just come out and show us what he can do COYWM

He should have fronted up with an explanation of why we are shit showing far too often!! I think that's part of the FA/EFL rules regarding managers after a sending off. If you recall the Orient manager got sent off against us a few weeks back and he wasn't allowed to talk to the press after the match either. Not quite sure about the reasoning behind such a ban but I don't think that Mr Evatt is hiding away.

I think it might be one of the more sensible rulings David giving the managers time to cool down and not do even more self harm? I think we’re all thinking the same things on the team at the moment, we’re nothing like the team we were until recently and to be honest I think we got out of jail on a number of results and don’t really deserve to be where we are. Fortunately other teams have slipped up recently allowing us to stay in position but we certainly need to win these games in hand to have any chance of the automatics. We need to remember also that Northamptons team yesterday was severely patched up and missing key players yet we still couldn’t beat them. We just don’t have any cutting edge at all and Dion and Victor don’t seem to have a goal in them.
I’m also worried about trouble in the camp especially with the likes of JDC not even in the squad and Evatt preferring CJ to Bod. That one I couldn’t work out. We basically have too many players now, even to sit on the bench and if Evatt intends to play Taylor and Ramsey regularly I fear a reaction from other players but clearly if they don’t their clubs won’t be too happy as they’ve been sent here for development. Personally I’ve seen nothing in Ramsey to tell me he’s an improvement on Matheson let alone Coggers and when Rico and Forester are back where does Taylor fit in? Surely he won’t replace Jones or Toal?. Ashworth is never a wing back either so that means we’re weak down both flanks which was the main basis of our attack unless of course Ogbeta comes good. Let’s see who he picks on Tuesday but if it’s anything like yesterday I fear the worst.
