I’ve just checked the stats for this season and realised that I have managed to see a total of ONE home win this season.
Don’t get to many midweek games, so missed Hartlepool
Don’t do the pizza Cup, not since U23 teams have been involved
Was isolating after Covid for Northampton.
So sorry in advance for Saturday

Maybe that's what Garner means by us not playing 'risky football'?
In theory its not risky, if the players are good enough. But these players are in L2 for a reason, youth/lack of ability/injuries etc so errors will always happen. Even with better players errors will happen although far less consistantly, thats the nature of football. But the further down the leagues you go the liklihood of errors happened are significantly increased due to the player quality/consistancy. So yes its not risky if you have the right players, but we don't and therefore errors will happen and all too often cost us a goal. |

That’s the crux of the problem. We have defenders encouraged to take risks but everyone else not to.
Fucking madness. More of the same isn’t going to dig us out of the hole. We should win tomorrow even with all this shit flying around, but as for still thinking about the POs - forget it.

The thing is that BG thinks more possession is a good thing.
The more I watch us the more I think it just gives us more opportunity to cock up & gift the opposition a goal.

Please ditch the 5 at the back tomorrow
I’d go for
JJ
Hunt Cooper Odimayo Tomlinson
Reed Iandolo
Gladwin
Mckirdy Davison Barry with respect I've seen JJ and I don't have him down as being much cop in goal. edit: oh wait. Wollacott. never mind |

If I was picking the team I’d definitely bin off the 3cbs and wing backs - in favour of having something more structured in midfield.
JoJo
Hunt
JOB
Cooper
Iandolo
Tomlinson
Reed
Gladwin (I guess by default with no Lyden, Williams or Payne)
Barry
McKirdy
Davison
442
…or…
JoJo
Hunt
JOB
Cooper
Tomlinson
Reed
East
Barry
Gladwin
McKirdy
Davison
4231
I imagine it will be more of the same though…

Whilst Barry has shown us nothing so far. He’s got a good reputation and is regarded as being one for the future - we should maybe at least try a game plan / formation that plays to his strengths / includes a position he actually plays in.
I mean what’s the worst that could happen? He shows us nothing and it seems like a waste of loan? At the moment we are already there…

Spot on. Why take risks 20 yards from your own goal but not 20 yards from the opposition goal. If our players ran at defences and drew players out of positions then we’d have so much more success |

Great point Audrey, I'd never thought of it like that before... |

Great post. Seems to be the only players that try and beat or wrong foot an opponent are the defenders...madness. Midfield and Forward line always play safe. Big laugh at Tranmere was the ball cleared from a rare corner second half. Fell to one of our players outside the box. Instead of launching it back into the box or even shooting from distance...He went safe and played it back. We were three zip down and had players committed in the box.... FFS! |

Agree - risk taking will win us games. Passing round the back like we are defending a win on FIFA won’t. |
