    Ahhh. Don't worry. Took Pearson how many years to get out of league 2 ?

    We're still at the dawn of a new horizon. Keep the faith.

    Silverware, we don't care.

    He did nothing tonight on the wing, and it seemed like an obvious tactical issue that we didn't have the width to create anything on that side, but meanwhile Woods was giving it away constantly in the middle, as he did on Saturday, and I wondered why we didn't just have a winger on the wing and Slater in the middle instead of Woods. I'd like to see us get more width on the pitch. Christie right wing like he played against Wigan, so that he and Coyle can double up again and be a bit more productive out there. And then maybe Sinik on the left, although we've not seen much from him yet.

    It's always easy to write down a team and say it'd work better, so I try to avoid doing that generally, but back to my original point, I do think it's a little bit harsh on Slater to judge him on his output in an attacking position.

    I suppose it’s too much to hope that Rosie will bring his boots to show them how it’s done at the back?

    Oh, it's pre-determined already that Gorgeous George will get his posh London Homeopathist to dig the splinters from his arse and get a rare start.

    Queue already the bed wetting...

    It seems at home it's more or less a similar pattern, we generally start well on the front foot, teams sit in and wait for us to expend our early energy then grab a goal which looks against the run of play.

    We seem to play better away when teams come onto us, but we are still woeful at defending balls into the box, and look as if we are going to concede every time one comes in. Christie looks good going forward but we do get exposed when they get in behind him.

    It really is frustrating, when we come out in the 2nd half, really had a go at them, get the goal, and then concede minutes later which knocks the stuffing out of the momentum again. It is worth mentioning if Figgy's tackle is deemed a foul, which leads to their 2nd goal, then the game as we know it is ****ed.

    LR has a big job on his hands, first and foremost he has to make us harder to beat, all good teams are built on a solid defensive foundation, which then gives the platform for the midfield and forwards to do their job without fear of the defence being like a sieve.

    On the game, Pelkas should have started, Tufan was ineffective, Fleming was right off it, Greaves and Figgy just don't seem to work together as a pairing they are just all over the place. I would be inclined to play Coyle behind Christie on the right on Saturday, giving us better cover down the right. Oscar is so isolated, he just doesn't get the service he needs. I thought Christie at least tried to get us moving forward, Docherty was okay, he always works his socks off. Both Seri and Woods were well marshalled by their midfield and were ineffective.

    We play some good stuff at times, but just need to steady the ship over the last 3 games before the break, and a clean sheet or two would be welcome.

    Because we do look exposed when Christie makes his forward runs, I think until we sort the defence out as a whole, then having Coyle behind Christie would give us more cover. I agree, ideally, you want a winger with pace in there but at present, that right side is leaking too many goals.

    This getting up in the middle of the night and watching us capitulate like that really does test your mood the day after. Hasten to say it is not good.:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Some things for Rosenior to fix - if he's able which I have doubts about. When we get a free kick 25 yards out and the 'big lads' trot rip, get the ball in the ****ing box instead of pitter pat sideways passes that end up with the keeper... Just because some cost money doesn't mean they warrant a game,,,, and have a look at young lads in the Under 23's outperforming some of these and integrate them in the first team coaching whilst we have this break..

    I also thought it was strange playing Fleming against Jones, Greaves was the natural choice. Like people say Figs and Greaves doesn’t work.

    It very rarely starts at the top in Football,it usually starts with the manager ie:- This **** is clueless,replace.Then it's...the players aren't putting it in,must be a split in the camp,clear out required.

    Finally it's...The owner is ****ing useless,Acun out.

    We're still working our way through phase 2 at the moment but preparing to enter phase 3 should results of this nature continue...:emoticon-0103-cool:

    It’s not about players playing in positions. Good players can play anywhere. A good team will play well regardless of formations and tactics.

    Seri also slips over more times than I care to remember. It’s like he’s wearing slip ons.
