People are allowed opinions though.

There were several blowing out of their ar$es after 70 minutes. PH has, understandably, spoken about the schedule and fatigue and he had several good options on the bench. Yesterday was crying out for us to get up the pitch with better possession and passing, just as Hunt gave us in his last start v Rochdale.


Yep, we are all entitled to an opinion, but that's all they are. PH is the one tasked with gathering points and what he thinks is the best way of achieving it.

In our group yesterday, everyone had a different opinion of who should be brought on, and who should be brought off, but ultimately, every fan thinks they have the answer to every problem. Had we got the winner from all the very presentable positions we found ourselves in, no one would be that bothered.

It must be very frustrating for a manager having to answer the same type of questions after each game. We all think we know better but we are not managers .

The question about keeping more taller players on the pitch is a good one maybe we should sign a few big ones just to sit on the bench so we can bring them on later in the game.  

If we are all honest i think we have all enjoyed  this season for the cup run but our home form could have been better.

Never mind next season we will still be in the EFL with a stronger and Taller squad.

Of course you are allowed and opinion. But there is no consequence to your opinion whereas there is if PH makes a decision.

A few people talking about long throws on here. Ive watched the national league highlights show this week and last and Croppers long throws have got barnet 2 goals. Probably isn't good enough for league 2 but his throws are like rockets going into the box.

Cropper's only played one full game in League Two this season (Barrow away) with another appearance from the bench on the opening day against Orient.

I can't remember him standing out as either good or bad against Barrow but in the cup against Forest he didn't disgrace himself and was more than fine against Crewe.

Obviously the main reason we've seen so little of him is because of injuries but I think he is good enough, when fit.  Efete and Emmanuel are clearly ahead of him in terms of Hurst's mind but god we miss that throw.  I don't even think you need to have a team of giants to capitalise on it, it just creates sheer panic because of the speed and angle it comes in at.    It's better than a corner and with the option to use it pretty much anywhere in the final third, I'd be finding a place for him in the 18 if not the 11.
