I take Chris's point about changing the game plan, needs something a bit different to our normal approach. Either completely shutting up shop and bringing on the finishers let's on, or trying more long balls and crosses into Collins in greater numbers. Aitchison is exactly the type of player you...
Wasn’t there so can’t comment other than generally, I don’t think our squad has the depth when certain players are out for injured. It’s a big ask to bring your a-game every time, when youngsters are still learning there trade, plus seldom does the opposition simply not turn-up.
We improve on...
With Shepherd back and with Frear signed yesterday giving us a mental boost, I fancy we might continue our improved home form. (I doubt Frear will play, not fit enough yet).
Mansfield finally building some momentum, it will be an interesting, game. If they get in our face. we don't like it and...
‘Shep’ makes it work, without him it will indeed be interesting to see if the goals dryup. As you say against on form opposition it would have been hard enough anyway. Excuses in.
We do seem to have found a goal threat in the last two games. That made the difference today. The Crawley defence we're pressured and duly obliged. The recently returned Liam Shepherd adding a threat from the right previously missing. That alone a big improvement.
The Crawley forwards looked...
Perfectly reasoned arguments, I wouldn't agree with everything, I think it has to be two up from NL for the pyramid to be meaningful. Financial doping as you put it, is not desirable and can go horribly wrong, Eastleigh must have spent more than some small countries entire GDP, without success...
On balance I think I'd prefer a 1-1 or even better a 2-2 than what I expect we might get, nil, nil.
Yes we could loose 3-0, but please just give it a bloody go and take it from there, rather than this brexit version of the game we've developed...
The efforts there, but the play's so constrained. You wouldn't mind if we just gave it a bloody good bollocking some times. Those days where if all else failed you could create inertia from shear bloody mindedness and brute force alone. ala Paul Stonehouse, have GONE!
It's all getting a bit...
