If we can hold til half time get cook on and play 4 4 2.

[Parkinsons Perm]

So far we are losing 1-0 and Conrad Logan is our man of the match, and by some distance as well.

We are quickly reversing back around that corner

[Hjeldefan]

The minute Rose got injured you had to worry. Maynard is a classy player but is not a lone striker at all. Why not make a change now also, a top manager makes the change when its needed, not when we are 2 or 3 down.

[chip63]

No shots at goal yet.

Has to change second half. Don't wait til 20 mins to go.
Immediate change please.

Hamilton is having an absolute shocker

[gazza1988]

I would hope we make a sub and bring on Cook for Tomlinson. Sooner rather than later.

For an "out there" suggestion maybe also make a 2nd sub with Hamilton off for Clarke and put Gordon on the right wing.

[BH_Stag]

Make no mistake, this first half has been dreadful. Poor tactics, Hamilton absolutely shocking, we can’t hold it up at the top end and it just keeps coming back, midfield poor and giving them all the time in the world, and I don’t think we’ve had a shot in anger. Everything good last week has been missing today... We need a re-think sharpish!

[NorthLondonStag]

Garbage performance. Worse than Exeter

[MTFCMusings]

We've not had a single update in our favour on the twitter comm.

[chip63]

Did anybody go up for our one corner or did Maynard take it and pass it back

And you seem to be surprised by that?

Absolute rubbish. The tactics are all wrong. Get a second forward on and play 4 4 2. At least let’s go down fighting.

[Martian]

not often that you feel just one goal down at half time is a result - sounds a bit like Newport in the frst game - I'm being optimistic

[wink68]

Tried to park the bus as at Grimsby. No possession of the ball equals no goals. At least play some football. If they beat us so be it. Give it a go. Being taught an absolute footballing lesson by Forest Green. This is pathetic. At case of how many will they get. Yes these are a decent side. But we're not even trying to play any football.

[arsene wengers coat]

Whisper it...

Dempster out again...

[adamstag]

Seems like normal service has been resumed.

Big 2nd half needed to get anything here

[london amber stag]

Surprised to see Hamilton and Tomlinson starting the game. Maynard is isolated up front, we need changes second half.

Hamilton is having an absolute shocker

Why should today be any different? He was dropped for that reason. ...we had a great win....and he gets reinstated!! Figures.

[spanishstag]

Its rubbish , no threat whatsoever

[yorkshire stag]

Sort it out man

get bloody into them, get another forward on

[Parkinsons Perm]

Its rubbish , no threat whatsoever

But you like JD and his tactics

[NorthLondonStag]

Looks like cook is on for Tomlinson. Not before time

[gazza1988]

Some post match questions for Demps.

1. Why flood the midfield and then spend (so far) bypassing them?
2. Why have 9 players behind the ball in open play in our own half of the pitch, to then gain possession, our quick players bust a gut getting up front for us to give the ball away and get hit on the break?
3. Why play 3 players in the middle who some would say are more defensive midfielders, which gives the opponent acres of space in the middle of the park?

[Chrisuknottm]

I said a couple of days ago that please JD don't undo all the goodwill you quite rightly earned last week by reverting to the negative defensive football you played up to that point. So much for that hope
