And the manager with no idea how to try and turn the situation round.

I wonder if Ismael is totally comfortable, taking a point, rather than invest a bit of energy, put the pedal down, & see what happens. overall, a poor showing, a gutless performance. 

Wrexham will overwhelm us, on New Year’s Day, I’m afraid.

Ohashi was the worst player on the pitch for me.

Frequency of games catching up with him. Needs a rest and that's where lack of depth in the squad is a significant factor.

But he's not in any sense a traditional striker and boy do we need a couple!

[B16Rover]

If you accept the club for what it is, then that's a great performance.  More minutes for youngsters, some minutes for the foreign lads to get their ESC points ahead of a sale.  

Unfortunately, that's not what its all about 

[G Somerset Rover]

There’s just absolutely zero to be positive about heading into a new year. Nothing.

Somehow (and I’m far from convinced on this), avoid relegation. Then what?

Now I’ll look at it negatively.

Was that Wednesday’s first home clean sheet of the season?

I’m not getting into semantics, I’m just really annoyed that we had the worst chances against a team on -7.

If you want rationality, maybe come back in the morning and not 15 mins after full time.

I'll throw that back at you, maybe take a breather and comment back in the morning instead of 15mins after the game.

I have plenty of PNE mates who warned me about this game, they hammered north end and which who were lucky to win and wednesday got a draw on their last game against near top of the league.

It's a poor result but people expecting an easy ride need to have a look at our squad - We are on their level and that's the end.

[Tom]

Positives from today - Oxford lost. 

End of message. 

[Torgeir]

Cantwell 2/10 for me and that’s being generous. He’s supposed to run the show in games like these.

We’re so locked into one formation/system that Henriksson starts upfront, and Ismael waits way to long before making any subs. 
 

Bannan again allowed to run the show against us. Thankfully age is starting to catch up to him.

REALLY fear for us now.

If we can't beat that shower - who can we beat?

Leicester, Bristol City, Hull, Preston away. Millwall and Southampton at home.

We just can't beat teams where we actually have to break them down. Zero quality.

And Norwich late on

[Dolly blue]

We looked knackered physically, slow to brainless mentally and embarrassing tactically. 
I get we have injuries..but , who doesn’t ? Those in our shirts tonight were the sum total of Venkys investment, Gestede recruitment and Ismael coaching. ….and, if Chaddyrovers tries to put any spin on tonight’s trash he must be a Venkys plant.

Utterly disgusting.

Norwich lost too and Charlton are sinking after a good start to the season.

Completely shocked we aren't in the bottom 3 given how the squad has been ripped apart. That gives me hope that we may just have enough (or there may be 3 worse teams!)

Bloody hell we play on NYD too??!

This part of the season is mad.

We will be okay, just! Next season is the worry, when we loose our 2 best players in Tronstad and Cantwell.

Johnny Price, anyone?

[Bohinen1983]

Appalling forwards.. run around a lot.. no end product,  shocking decision making and devoid of intelligent movement off the ball.. shit@

I mean fundamentally, yeah- but if everyone took that approach, we’d have no traffic on the site.

It’s a shite performance and a shite result.

I like the formation - 3 clean sheets in a row is that? With Calamity in net as well.

No idea why they've frozen out the only other two CFs in our squad when Gudjohnsen is injured.

I thought Bannan was really poor today. A shadow of his former self.

It's not that bit I'm bothered about.

Former Boro says it all for me. Nothing has changed at this club from day one.

Yep that was my first thought too.

I was confident several games in that we'd be fine this season, but injuries (and the bloody ACON) have wrecked our squad and we just don't score enough.

Think we're probably going down now.

Yet even at age 36 still  far too good for "the best midfielder in the League".
