Very frustrated with that. IMO we battered them 1st half and somehow went on 2-0 down. We had way more chances and at least 7 to there zero corners. 2nd half was played in slow motion. Just wouldn't finish. We really didnt have a plan b. I was extremely surprised cooper didnt make a change.

As the minutes went by it became obvious a change was needed yet nothing happened. 73 mins and 3-0, within seconds a triple change.

Can anybody on this board justify this???

For me we should have changed things around the hour mark. Nothing was happening that was gona change the game. Why wait till 3-0 down to do a triple change.

Very poor from cooper. I really like this guy but IMO he made a huge mistake today to allow this game to go on with the same 11 that clearly couldn't break them down

it looked like we were already preparing to make the subs when they scored.

Also 73 mins if you are correct is that he right time whilst 2-0 down. Nothing was changing was it. Why not earlier????????

There was no movement on the bench at all.

I think it was the previous game where we shoved Franks upfront with James and they instantly struggled and panicked. It mut be easy to contain James when he isn't even getting the ball.

agreed, we needed to make changes much earlier.

It was very annoying watching players warm up and then zero movement. At the 70 min mark I was getting very angry. Its hard when you know something has to change yet nothing happens.

For the record i don't think Rodney was poor when he came on or Sweeney if that comes up

Rodney never put a foot wrong and looked to try and influence the game at least.

I think CC needs to watch a video of the game and others previous, from set pieces we constantly put it at the back stick and nobody is coming onto it, first half when we pummelled the area, a big 6ft 3 centre half running in might have buried a couple, we need options!

We need options for taking free kicks...Dolan and left foot appears the only one. There was instance in first half where it was screaming for a right footer to have a dig and yet it was Dolan left foot floated to back stick.

We need to have a very serious rethink about playing this 4-4-1-1 thing at home becuase it really isnt working. We have scored one goal in our last 3 home games despite dominating possession. Too many times we put good balls into the box and theres nobody there. Neither Dolan or Walker make runs from deep into the danger areas and its usually just James against two huge defenders with Monkhouse coming in at the back post every now and again.

We forced 20 corners today and also had at least half a dozen free kicks in dangerous areas, but again never really did enough with t

Like RB says there isnt really a plan B, and if teams stick a lot of men behind the ball we struggle. For me we could do with more of a physical presence up front at times. I'm not suggesting we go out and sign another Stevie Statue, but we definitely need someone that offers an alternative and wont keep getting pushed off the ball as happens a lot with Poole and James.

For me, after 30 mins was crying out for 4-4-2 formation today to rescue game. Amazed no change to formation or personnel made at half time, but CC should know best. He will probably admit he got it wrong today, this is what can happen when you praise the players to the high hilt after a late 2-1 win at Morcambe, a game that we apparently dominated

I'm not sure how you can have a viable plan b when you don't have anyone on the bench really worth bringing on who might change the game.

I can totally see why Cooper kept the same eleven at 0-2 had we got the next goal we probably would have got something out of it. What changes would people have actually made?

Hopefully this gives him a bit of ammunition to go to Green and Hodcroft with and suggest we need a couple of quality additions.
