100milesaway Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just had a quick reckon up. Because of travel issues to attend night matches. I now only travel down for Saturday league matches. Of the 13 Saturday matches to date that I have seen, I have witnessed 3 wins. 1 of those was the game against Aldershot, when we played well and won convincingly. This game, was with the previous manager in charge. The other 12 games, even the 2 that we have managed to win were pretty awful. And most were just plain and simple utter garbage. No obvious plan, no set style of play, very little desire to win from the players, no aggressive tackling, and body language from most of the players, that they should be ashamed of. The manager looks to have made things worse, his insistence of keep playing central defenders, even though 2 of them are consistently played outside of central defensive positions. Plus the dire state of the out of balance team, consequently EVERY midfielder who has played this season is given no hope of getting in the game, as our overworked defence just launch the ball over our midfielders heads, which then leads to our forward players chasing shadows, because they are totally outnumbered, and the inevitable consequence is that the opposition are pouring forward once again. Furthermore, the team completely lack anyone that can attack at speed with the ball at their feet, and goals from midfield have been a collector's item. On this point, have ANY of double Ms additions in midfield been even 1% better than the likes of Tollitt, and Dickenson, both able to run with the ball, open up space for others, and both could, and did score goals, something that none of the recent additions in midfield have even looked like they could do. So from my perspective the manager has caused more problems than he has actually solved, and because of that the football has been bloody dreadful. His master stroke last week at Aldershot, when he left our 3 leading scorers out of the starting 11. We may have made huge steps to improve the club in recent months, but there is a long way to go out there on the grass. Obviously, I hope that we have a late surge, and get into the play offs, however I have no confidence that we will do that. All the teams around us are going like a train, and all are in better form than us. Let's just hope that we can recover, and salvage something from what for me has been a miserable season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Results could have been a lot worse for us today... Gateshead and Aldershot losing kept us well in the mix and it sounds like we played well today. Daggers away next week really is a must win though. Can't afford to let a gap open above us.... KEEP THE FAITH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep as I said in a previous post it's the business end of the season now so games become more and more critical we have 7 Cup finals now and potentially 3 more after that, but in a good way though. We are mid March and we are challenging for the play offs not counting down to 50 points it's a good thing and we should enjoy the ride even if we don't go up this season just getting into the play offs would while not being worthy of an open top bus it would represent an important milestone in our journey back to the football league. Certainly when you consider the wreckage the club was in less than 2 years ago. Edited March 18 by GlossopLatic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Altrincham have hit their bad form and now come out the other end and will easily finish in the play offs. hopefully we will come out of ours on Saturday. we need 4 wins. Dagenham fylde Oxford and Wealdstone (who are on Saturday Tuesday Thursday) should see us over the line. i do think Gateshead will be the team to drop out.

Still think we’ll need 4 points minimum from the Halifax/Altrincham games. Also Altrincham & Gateshead have a much better goal difference so we will need to finish with more points! For me a win on Saturday is absolutely crucial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose against Halifax and Altrincham I feel we will miss out, Dale wont be easy at home neither. I don't think 12 points is enough particularly if the two I've mentioned beat us. Hopefully our mindset has changed when playing the minnows at home, if not Fylde and Wealdstone at home will prove tricky, add to that both those teams played us off the park at their own ground and will have nothing to fear.
