I am slowly losing faith with Wilkins and Chapman and have already lost faith in White. Not sure about the goalkeeping coach whether or not he has helped FDM.

I think the keeper coach has helped Kuipers. This season his command of his box has been better than ever, he seems to take every possible cross at the moment. Also his distribution, while not perfect, is much improved, never goes out of play any more

We played well today overall, I think if Cox had been playing we'd have won. We just lacked a little in the final third, I think Cox would have finished one of Martot's opportunities today and might have made better use of some of the situations he got in.

I couldn't understand the subs today. I too thought it was obvious a change needed to be made around the 70 minute mark. Revell and Robinson's impact was gone by that point. I didn't understand how Fraser came off but Martot played the full 90, and what is the point of Loft. I'd rather see Hart or Rents (possibly Chamberlain too).
I feel we lack a genuine winger in the squad, and still a real goalscorer unless Forster comes good (which he still has time to do).

Still, not a bad performance against the league's best team so far, we played by far the better football, were without probably our three best players, and only lost thanks to a mistake by our 5th choice centreback. Just can't help feeling that if the management had been slightly more assertive it could have been so much better.

It's clear that Wilkins needs some experience alongside him. Somebody who can help him with decisions during a game because he does seem to be lacking when it comes to substitutions. It's like he's never quite sure when to make a change and when he eventually gets around to it, it can be quite baffling. Loft? Forster on with 2 minutes left?

Shame really 'cos we deserved the three points today and we would have got them if there was a proven goal scorer at the club who could play regularly.

Agreed.
