Two weeks on the training ground and producing that is shocking by any standard. So passive against 10 men and when they did eventually make subs, they were the wrong ones

How were they the wrong ones?
Sweeney was instrumental in our goal and Appere showed everything that Jamie Reid hasn't shown in months.
Edit: I don't disagree about the performance overall, though. That really pissed me off today. We toiled away with zero tempo or intensity, or attacking intent, at home to a side who played shit, when we hadn't played for a fortnight. Revs has to realise if he doesn't improve the offering he will be out of a job.

The "wrong" sub I would point to is taking off Phillips for Freeman (which is a debatable change in and of itself - quite defensive when before that they were on the ropes) and putting LT in a more defensive role when LT was already on a yellow. Even at the time it raised eyebrows around our section of the East.

Freeman for Philips is an attacking change. It just didnt work out.

Maybe its just me but i was happy with the quality of the first half, albeit i thought the lack of a lead might come back to haunt us. I suspected Wigan wouldn't be as bad second half.
Cracking free kick from Kane, who looked more than competwnt afain at LB, and Reid almost nicked the back pass to score.
Second half we ran out of ideas, we looked flat apart from the goal which was a great build up and finish.
Sweeney's ability to bring the ball out of defence will be crucial to us building play. Shame Revs wont play a back 3/5
We should be building a team around Kemp. Head and shoulders above the rest, our best player, again.
Reid should be on the bench.
Sweeney should pay Louis' fine, failed to make rhe tavkle/commit the foul and pick up a yellow 10 yards further away from our goal, left Louis with no option.

First half wasn’t great but I’ve also seen plenty worse.
Agree with your points about Kemp (our best player), Reid not starting and id also like to see a back 3 - I did wonder if we’d make that change during the game. .
I’d love us to give Apeare or Young a chance through through the centre.
Revs isn’t going to get sacked. We will still finish comfortably mid table. Performances need to improve though.

He took List off over Reid - who again did absolutely nothing - and Phillips who was the one midfielder making himself available for the ball. That's ignoring Sweeney getting done in the build up for the second. What does Young - or anyone - have to do to get a chance over Reid.
They also spent 15 minutes - again - deciding what to do which suggests there's no plan B in place. It's infuriating to watch

Okay, gotcha. In that case I agree that Reid absolutely should not be starting matches, let alone playing 90 minutes.
He isn't even moving or offering anything, let alone being a threat. Young should have been playing in the middle instead of him the past few weeks, and Appere should the second he is fully fit (I was very excited when we signed him and believe we would have offered so much more up top this season had he been fit).

Appere’s movement was what you’d expect from an intelligent number 9. List, Reid and Robbo looking like League 2 forwards who can’t really offer anything or hack it these days

The players aren't the problem; the manager is. We are so predictable, so easy to defend against and so dull to watch.
Four of the next five are away from home, the next two at Barnsley and Wrexham. Since we've managed just one goal in open play away from home in the League this season, it's 'welcome to the relegation battle, Rev'.
Great free kick that won it. We have a player who can do that, but he's not deemed good enough to start and since his brilliant strike at Mansfield, he's no longer allowed to take free kicks when he does get on. So bloody frustrating.

Agree, but we have 4 tough games now, Barnsley, Wrexham and Charlton away and Exeter at our place mixed in.
A betting man like you would likely predict a draw or two at best from those four matches.
Which coupled with our return from the last three doesnt look too healthy.

Barnsley just lost to Bristol Rovers, who are awful. Charlton and Exeter are nothing remotely special.
We are ten points clear of the drop zone, with nine sides below us. We are where most of is hoped wr would be, and won't be far off this come the end of the season.
People were predicting we would go down in the summer, and in October, and in December, this is nothing new.

Happens after every poor result.
It'd be nice if we could have fewer such outcomes. We are just mediocre.
I'm still unconvinced by Revell. Don't want him gone, but not sure we are improving anytime soon under him.

Re: Please sack Revs now !

Correct. We are where I thought we would be, and I don't believe he ought to be sacked based on results or league standings.
But the board will also be looking at other factors and with an eye on the budget for next season, where Revs isn't going to be helping himself.
Discussed on the walk back to the car at FT today and I said today was the first time I have been properly pissed off with him this season. It just wasn't the level it should have been. That one today really annoyed me more than any other for some reason. And I also said I don't think we can say any player has improved under Revs, Banfield or Cuthbert, and don't imagine ever will. I believe I used the wording that I don't believe Revs is holding us back, but at the same time also isn't getting the most out of the squad. So it all comes down to expectations. Not done anywhere near enough wrong to be sacked, but needs to show a lot more second half of the season, and I have no relegation fears for this season, but may do for next season (as much because a lot of the shit will be going down this year, as about anything we may or may not do). Not actually sure how long his contract is, I assume two years.

They are set up to be really conservative. Which is fine if you accept that 0-0 at 60 mins means you can collect points. It also says -
we feel we are punching above our weight at this level
we are terrified of making a mistake
we are content to bore the shit out of our home fans

On the East, especially during the first half, all you could hear was general chit chat amongst the fans. Sounded like a busy pub!
Maybe that was indicative of the lack of excitement on the pitch!
Never really noticed it at that level before.

I didn't say we would go down, I said we face a relegation battle (despite the fact that we have a squad which should be much nearer the top than the bottom). I will happily apologise if we finish outside the bottom eight.
