But that's not in the trendy coaching manual anymore. But our full backs are shit, and I don't think we have any wingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate on tactics, formation, manager(s).......pointless. As Glossop says, we are shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. Until the Lemsagams and Owen are driven out of this club nothing, absolutely nothing, will change for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I find the off-the-field issues almost impossible to realistically be fixed in the near future. At least the on-field discussion has the small hope of bringing some joy, even if it's simply a goal rather than a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Stick everyone behind the ball and pray that Dearnley, Rowe and McAleny can bag us a goal. All we have available to us, our defence and midfield is that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dearnley MacAleny Rowe and Bahamboula are all playing we are defending with 7 men when we lose the ball.....midfield gets overrun and blamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If the 4 players you’re referring to kept the opposition busy defending for long enough then 7 would be ample, especially at home, where we really should be taking the initiative.

If the opposition didn’t have players behind the ball also then that would be a weird game. Maybe we are getting lost in what we consider defending.

al_bro Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It hasn't been mentioned yet. Does anyone know why the LED boards weren't working for the second game running? I hope what sponsors we have left got refunds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
