Why does Flitcroft keep taking the best player on the park off? Walker did nothing and didn't look interested
Get a grip man!

Wasn't at the game, so can't say how Otis played. Maybe he had a knock. Maybe he had run out of steam and his replacement (Stirling -James ) was seen as fresh legs.
If DF hadn't changed things people would be moaning he should have done.
The Mac manager made three changes which got them playing better.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.
I'm disappointed we didn't get the three points, but it's early days yet.

Otis should never be taken off unless he’s injured. He’s capable of the spectacular and the only player who actually goes looking for the ball.

What, even if he is having a poor game ?

Well he hadn't run out of steam. He could have 1 leg and he would still look more likely to score than Sterling. It was a terrible substitution. As was bringing on Mellis who is a complete waste of a wage.

So it was Conrad's fault the other day and Sterling - James today. Better send him back on loan to Solihull Moors.

Exactly what we were saying on the way back from Mac today. He's the one player that always looks likely to spark a bit of genius into a game
Fatty played us good and proper

Ok, but you have said he should NEVER be taken off (unless he is injured). So if he was having a stinker you'd leave him on ?
What kind of message would that give to the other players in the team?
Managers favourite maybe.

There was a few boos when he took him off against tranmere, the decision made no sense as he was the best and most creative player on the pitch.
In fairness to flitcroft, the 2 subs he introduced today actually made us worse. None of us could understand why he took him off when the forwards had done nothing between them.
Think daves in danger of being caught out as a fraud.

Oh the guy who got the hat trick the other day. But if he's playing gash, then he should be subbed. Could be a contract thing.

With the other options we have, yes I would. He’s the only game changer we have at present.

Khan is a very good player we are fortunate to have him.Walker is still young technically very good.He needs to have a bit more determination as does Davies.Flitcroft knows where we need to improve.I t is up to the players to step up.Early days yet.Trust in Flitcroft he will get it right.Some people on here think we should be winning every game.That very rarely happens even Man City only drew today.Any game it is eleven against eleven anything can happen.

Khan will be our first ever million pound plus sale. Can't believe he's a league 2 player

He can be the difference late on in tight games, it simply makes no sense to take our most creative player off. I bet the opposition can’t believe they luck when they don’t have to deal with him for the last 15 minutes as like others have said, he’s capable of creating something from nothing. Leave him on the pitch - simple.

It just goes to show how inept the tactics of Flitcroft really are, Defending too deep protecting a shallow lead, Multiple players being played out of position, poor substitutions . Heard enough of the excuses for him now. A loss will come at WBA probably as they are superior and at home BUT do not follow it with a draw or loss against Carlisle as his 12 games this season in charge will then be fast approaching. Rose needs to start saturday and get CJ onto the left and maybe revert to 442 for next away league game

I was at the game so feel a little more qualified to comment.
Khan didn't look injured, running out of steam or playing badly.
DF needed to act - never said he didn't. Bringing Khan off was ridiculous and isn't the first time its been done
And I don't feel any sorrow

In fairness we are 1 point better off than this time last season, however we won game 6 last season.
We play Carlisle in game 6 this season who've won 3 on the bounce, so you've guessed it next weekend probably has draw written all over it.
We need to win it though.
