It’s a bit like watching the reserves play a cup game and thinking ‘a few of these will do alright’ and then remembering this is now our level 😂 Some absolutely grotesque performances from the “senior” players, Bobby Reid couldn’t trap a bag of cement and skipp in particular (who I naively thought might discover a bit of confidence in this league) were abysmal. Souttar was another I was willing to give a fresh start to has completely blown that by standing with his hand in the air like a 9 year old for about 30 seconds whilst the game unfolds in front of him 😂 It’s such a shame because despite how disillusioned I am with the club you want to do your best to support a reset and in particular encourage the young players, but it’s so hard to do when it’s the same sh!t we’ve all been subjected to for the last few seasons…!

Feels like this will be difficult to claw back even after only 4 overs 😂 we can’t be relying on Mike as a frontline bowling option if we serious about competing in this competition far far too expensive…

As others have alluded to eskinazi is far from a poor player, but this experiment of him opening is clearly not the one and needs binning off sooner rather than later. If budinger is playing he needs to be batting during the PP…

Another very inept performance and there was so much more we could’ve done to win the game I.e. better finishing, earlier subs etc but knew the keeper would have his best game of the season today! However, like I said we shouldn’t be giving him the chance to save the majority of them, which along with our inability to defend balls into the box sums up why I think it’s inevitable we’re going down… Our only real hope all season has been Jordan James and without him unfortunately we don’t have the fight or drive to win games

It was more in relation to previous performances than specifically tonight

Lost possession more times tonight than ayew which is quite some achievement…

Such an enigma of a player 😂 he’s basically fine as a CB in the championship and in particular games where we are expected to see the majority of the ball and don’t have opposition players constantly running in behind…

Easily our best player today. Did a lot of the dirty work that will go unnoticed but it allowed our more skilful/influential players to get on the ball. Besides that, it’s just nice to see a player give what you’d call 100% and generally look like they give a sh!t!

Pint of ‘neon’ from everards in the bakers arms, went down extremely well and only had the two, but could’ve easily sank a couple more even at 5%… 😋

I did 21 miles today in prep for Chester marathon too and that’ll be my longest run as well. From what I’ve read and been told 2-3 before weeks is the sweet spot for tapering though 👍🏻

Top 4 awful, but we gave away 30-40 runs from the wides/no balls as well, take even half of that away and we probably win that game..!

Tried to be too clever batting first there, our T20 record speaks for itself… Patel and to a (only slight) less extent masood have been very disappointing this season.

On route to new road, any recommendations of decent pubs within walking distance of New Road??

Why does it feel like that trent bridge debacle is gonna haunt us… 😂👎🏻

I’ve been down there for every t20 this season and Last and it’s always amusing listening to the conversations down there… it’s almost as if people expect our bowlers to take a wicket every over and if they get hit for a boundary they should be taken out of the attack immediately… Likewise with the batsmen, if they don’t score boundaries they should be going for it and if they do and get caught it’s the wrong shot 😂 Of course you can manage the game and the captain can always influence it with his decision making, but t20 most of the time is a compete lottery of very fine margins…! anyway, another fantastic result in what is a belting season right now! 🦊
