Too many players under-performing.
Some def don't look good enough.
George cannot be happy.
He can join the club.

Worse of all over2000 regulars and plastics turned up on last shopping day before Christmas and were rewarded with little real effort or fight from the players. The stones fans deserve better

Great/good teams don't lose 2 games on the trot. Hmm wat team have we big George? 🤔

Three games on the trot - conceded 10, scored 1.

[jackster]

Time to face reality.

Sadly, the wheels have fallen off.

Jay couldn't be facing his old team at a better time.

He must be loking forward to the double header and rubbing his hands.

With most of the possession in the second half, should have made the most of it, didn't, if you don't shoot you don't score, what did lucas have to do all game, apart from pick it out of the net, desperately need a goalscorer who gets service.

When have we ever had a wobble-free season?

Too many players off the pace and just didn't seem to bothered.
Another game, another poor peformance, another defeat.
Not good enough George.

They are not bothered and still got paid a fortune.

I think this may escalate in to more than a wobble more like a full on shake of 4.5 on the Richter scale never mind we have signed a player who was at Havant and Looneytuneville and Gloucester,2 teams who struggling to stay up, if he couldn't perform at a shit H&W side it does not fill me with confidence that he will do anything for us

In my mind, I think the players care but the side looked disjointed and once we conceded we never looked like scoring - in fact, I can’t remember a save their goalie made in the second half?

Rush is quite a clever player but he was feeding off scraps and SWS was unlucky in the first half but doesn’t instill great confidence.

I think we missed Sam Bone and perhaps if he was back with Corne in the midfield the side would look better.

New signing made more of an effort than some yesterday, but as George said after the match, they played far too safe - sign that shedding so many goals recently has affected confidence, perhaps.
Chippenham came for a draw, so will be delighted to go back with all three points, but neither keeper had much to do and suspect the highlights will struggle to find much of any interest.
Liam Sole tried to have an impact when he came on, running at defenders and trying to beat them, but with precious little height up front and a very crowded penalty area, we needed to move the ball quicker out of defence. Instead, we were content to pass the ball about in our own half and look for long balls into the channels. That can work, but not if nobody bothers to run into spaces - plus we are still not good enough with set pieces, so corners and free kicks rarely lead to anything.
Could all change on Boxing Day, of course, but with Sol out of form and no Bone or Bivesh in midfield, never mind losing Levi, we look very ordinary again.

We desperately need a midfielder

Would agree with that - one that has a bit of creativity about them and can run with the ball.   With the exception of Corne, the others are all very similar and only seem to pass the ball square or backwards. 
We also need a forward - don't really rate SWS - runs around a lot but shows little quality in the box.  Can't see TA setting the world on fire either. 

[Terry]

Its all beginning to look very pedestrian.
Not much quality on show.
Play-offs ?
Not on this showing, or the one before that, or the one before that !
