Well, another game where we're generally not quick enough even to keep up with an average team. Far too many long balls to nowhere and not enough quality to change it. P!ss poor stuff again with the exception of around 10 minutes.

We sorted out the full back issues and now look stronger when defending and attacking set pieces. Any chance we can now reorganise a lightweight and badly set up midfield now?

So poor again. 4 3 3 is just not for us. We were so narrow all game and a very average/poor Alvechurch time and again exploited this. Poor old Tom on his own n when he did win the ball no support! Jay Williams almost irrelevant today . No confidence n very little idea on how to win other than try and nick a set piece. Awful

We have just become boring to watch.

380 people on a nice Saturday afternoon suggests the problem is not just on the playing side, The buy 2 get one 1 free offer has not worked which is disappointing and a worry I imagine.

How the team plays will go a long way to determine how many come through the turnstiles and we are just not playing a brand of football that will bring people into watch.

Is painful watching at the moment sadly. Barely any attacking threat and resort to long balls far too quickly.
Either Peaks doesn’t know what’s wrong or does but doesn’t know how to change it - both options are worrying!
With boring football to watch and no food available attendances are going to just keep dropping.

It feels like there's a general malaise around the club at the moment. We are plodding along, existing but going backwards in every sense.

I'm starting to feel apathetic about it all.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

We have come to a very important stage of our club . Which way will it go . Wouldn’t like to be the board at this moment in time. Something needs to happen . Have clubs got better after covid or have we become worse?

If we had Shamsi last season or the season before we would be unreal right now . Would be exciting to watch and we would be favourites at home to win a game
