Abject. Absolutely awful.
This was up there with the performance at Bradford, and indeed any horror show I've witnessed in nearly 30 years of watching.
The players look like they don't want to play for anyone (not even themselves) and the simple things are being done so badly it is hard to watch. Watching players who you know are good enough to compete at this level misplace simple 5 yard passes is very painful.
Wycombe were also poor and also look doomed. For short spells we looked comfortable, and enjoyed reasonable possession but all of this came to precisely nothing - no chances, no shots, nothing.
And you just knew we'd gift them something because we gift every team something. This time it was the keeper's turn to play Father Christmas when he stayed rooted to his line when Kevin was holding off a Wycombe attacker to allow the ball to reach the keeper. It should have been a simple "take" but the Wycombe player managed to escape the clutches of Kevin and hooked the loose ball into the net.
Game over.
Second half saw us enjoy occasional forays into the Wycombe half but each and every time they came to nothing with misplaced passes causing any momentum to be lost.
I'd describe our play as Snakes and Ladders football. Just when we get to a decent part of play we land on a snake and disappear down to the bottom of the board.
Pre-match talk was awash with all manner of rumours. Here are the 4 that stick out.
1. Adams is off this week after the club have accepted an offer. Possibly from bury.
2. Widdowson refused to travel down with the team.
3. Tutte has been busy feeding this messageboard inside info, and being generally disruptive towards the Beech regime.
4. Coleman is coming in on Monday with both ourselves and Accy agreeing compo of £70,000.
I stress these are rumours coming into the away stand via various sources and to be fair they provided much more entertainment than anything we saw on the pitch.
Meanwhile, down at the other end in the second half, we were busy gifting Wycombe more goals. Their second was from a routine high ball into the box. A Wycombe player, virtually unchallenged, headed the ball to a colleague who was allowed time and space to turn and finish well.
And a bit later they scrambled a 3rd when yet more hesitant defending cost us.
Coming back we chatted about our worsening plight. We all felt that though Eyre has been replaced, nothing has really changed in terms of performances and results. It is clear there is dressing room unrest and upset. This is not a team, it's a collection of players thrown together in a last throw of the dice. There is no passion and nobody wanting to take responsibility to have a shot for example.
Not doing ratings as collectively they wouldn't hit double figures.
Someone mentioned, whilst walking away before the final whistle, that we're going down with a whimper. We're not. It's much worse than that after what I saw today. I'd gladly take going down with a whimper now as that would be a distinct improvement on the absolute shambles we've witnessed today and at home to Stevenage last Saturday.
Another wasted day and £50. I won't be bothering going to Charlton as it will most likely be a massacre and £60 down the drain. |  |

I think you may struggle to avoid London when going to Charlton. |
Therefore there should be some kind of coach in place so fans safety are not at risk |  |

Well if you will advertise your travel plans on an internet forum you can't be surprised the gangs of London put aside their turf wars and racketeering to head over to Charlton and seek you out...
Reading the Observer online this week though...you don't need to travel as far as London to walk into gang violence! |  | | |

Tbf it's being spammed with needless replies, like yours, mine and others.
I'm interested in the expense Fans who don't have cars and are having to spend on Public transport have to pay because the club aren't competent enough to provide a proper travel club. Fuel costs more than ever now, coach travel should be doing great business, but it's not. Make it reliable. Once fans have faith they won't be cancelled they'll start booking again. Nobody uses them because they expect them to be cancelled.
20 minutes is nothing compared to other delays, Robot. If it didn't screw up any connections for you, you were lucky. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I managed to negotiate that there London using trains and the underground a couple of months ago without any problems. This was the first time in many years too.
Didn't realise it was such an achievement and that Frodo's journey to Mordor would have been less troublesome.

We were not the better team in lots of games! You are utterly deluded, Steve! |
Eyres last game - Yeovil at Home.
A blind man could see with just a little shred of luck we could have won by 2 or 3 goals.
Footballs ruthless / cutthroat - i know - but to lose your job after what was a good performance shows just how ruthless.
Beech is NOT the answer - you can see the players just dont want to play for him.
Not sure Coleman is either but this next decision is the biggest the football club has to take in probably the last 10 years.
We are struggling big time, when we appoint - then lets get behind the new man the players and the club and get the togetherness back. | | | |

'A blind man could see with just a little shred of luck we could have won by 2 or 3 goals'
But we didn't and that result was hardly an exception.
There was nothing ruthless about the decision. It was correct, except it should have been done a month earlier, which we are effectively still paying for now. | | | |
