  1. 0-0 was probably a fair result really, we had a couple of decent chances early in the first half and they had a few first half and 1 on the counter 2nd. Other than that it was just a bit of a scrappy contest, no real fluency from either side. I thought the set up was actually ok from us it's just we didn't have the personnel to make it work. Mcgahey & Sheron do a lot of work in the middle and it makes us more solid defensively, Conlon is better on the ball but what there isn't is someone who can carry the ball forward and drive us up the pitch. Thats why we often just resorted to hoofing it over the top hoping that Norwood & Garner create something for themselves, which every now and again will work, but isn't a reliable way of creating chances (and is also horrible to watch). Bromley are proof that you can have success playing garbage football in this division but my concern is that this style we have at the minute (I know occasionally we play some decent stuff but it's mainly rank bad, especially at home) won't work if/when we go up. The momentum of a promotion shouldn't be wasted on a style of football that we don't want to carry on with as we attempt to progress up the pyramid. Oh and can someone remind the ball boys what their job is. Won't move unless the ball is right next to them, lazy shits
  2. Clearly you can have a lot of success playing garbage football, which is what we're after...
  3. Played well in spells there but we've not been able to sustain any real pressure. I'd be tempted to get rid of one of the midfield 3 and bring Dallas on. Move Norwood into a deeper CF role and try to get him involved more, he's our best player on the ball by miles and it seems a waste to have him chasing long balls most of the game.
  4. It's not an 11 that's filled me with confidence.
  5. Sheron should go, we don't need somebody to run about sometimes making tackles who offers nothing on the ball and doesn't know how to find space to receive the ball. So easy for the opposition, stick a man on conlon and press the cb's, we panic and end up hoofing it. They've barely had to get out of 2nd gear....
  6. If anything the midfield 2 haven't been deep enough, nobody for the CBS to give the ball to so just end up punting it to infinity.
  7. It's not great, we look devoid of any attacking ideas. It's just so disconnected, looks like they've never played together before. All boreham wood are doing is putting the press on and we just wilt under the pressure of a 1 man press. Pass and move and we'll beat this lot, simple as that. Probably going to watch another half of us hoofing the ball somewhere not near fondop though ...
