There are no tacticts other than 1. dont lose 2. Get the ball up top ( but not in a footballing way ) Said it was crap after Tuesday and so did many others, others disagred. We will not get out of this league with these lack of tacticts or players who can play in midfield and look after the ball. The way we play is simply not sustainable.

A message board of opinions. We all see things differently, some of us think its dire to watch with no plan or football played at home, with the exception of a few minutes out of 90. Nothing wrong with saying that. Some think thats fine due to our position and where we have come from as a club in recent years, and the recent ownership nightmare. Problem is some believe their opinion is the only one that matters.

I was on there under a different username

I definately didnt say get rid but I was critical of our home peformance, lack of identity and of how woeful it is to watch. At the end of the day we are 5th and luckily we are winning away which has helped our play off position. From what I read and hear, many fans are frustrated at our home tacticts ( or lack of ) and lack of entertainment. Many fans are also saying so be it, pretty much happy that we have Frank and we are in with a chance of promotion no matter how we get there. Nobody is right or wrong, just different opinions and beliefs of how we should be approaching home games. We all want the same outcome and if MM gets is up great and well done. Just hope we can start to play a bit of football at home, if not this season then surely next.

I would love to see an average home display because imo that was well below average. I think the word average is being very kind to the team and MM

We have no identity. I have no idea what our aim is during a game. Other than just kicking the ball there is a severe lack of wide play, balls into the box, link up from midfield to attack and very little quality on the ball. On paper a good point but woeful to watch. In 5th position and we look clueless.

Lets be honest here, if we make the play offs this season, that has to be seen as progress, especially after our start and the DU dibacle. Like it or not we have to trust MM to move this club forward, his past record and experience shows that. Yes his football is direct and as it stands we dont look great playing that way. When we had Norwood and Stones up top you could see it starting to work but without those two we look like we can't play that way. Fondop and Garner are no replacement, they are back up really. Perhaps in the window the players that suit MMs play were not available or we will wait for the summer with the hope we can get in the play offs and then it really is a lottery, they dont always go to form. Yesterday was a missed opportunity to excite a few new and old fans to come back but they just couldn't. And imo Sutton is better playing on the right than anyone I've seen replace him. Get Norwood back fit and that gives us some class up top. No way we even consider a new manager. If we had won yesterday fans would have said they dont mind winning ugly. We have to trust this manager and believe he will make us better with a summer window. Just my opinion.

Well yes those too, we need strength out wide, thats true. Dickenson when fit is a good player, but he's another injury prone player like Gardner.

Much more important areas to upgrade first. RB, midfield and LB cover.

Good post LOF and very hard to argue with. Our improvement is no shock to me, DU was an U23 coach using methods from a manual. MM is a real manager with a wealth of experience and he does say the football itself will show him how good the players are. He has removed 3 of DU's starters, Nuttall, Sutton & Shelton, for various reasons these players are simply not good enough, Sutton has mitigating circumstances here though so a bit of slack required for him imo. Gardener and Mcgahey bring quality to the team, the defence looks very capable but short of depth in the full/wing back positions. So keeping gardner fit is essential or he needs to bring in someone similar with quality on the ball and a threat going forward. But imo we will make the play offs at a canter once we get a bit of momentum and some areas of the squad covered with depth. But as it stands now, 4 points off play offs with over half a season to go, looks very healthy to me.

It seems to be the new 442..... I may be wrong, of course.

I agree neither could really play a 352. But in a 442 with ovelapping fullbacks to switch with they should be capable really.

I agree. Fondop is a menace but he is so rash and a bit of a time bomb. Nuttall a better footballer but looks lazy and lethargic, something the fans dont like to see.

This lot wouldnt have the legs but they would keep the ball longer than the current lot
