"“I think it could be a lack of technique or it could also be concentration."
Well I think it could be playing 1 up front at home doesn't fucking work.

He mentions Dagenham as an example, but we hardly battered Dagenham did we? Maybe 2 good chances besides the goal and a penalty shout, not much in 90 minutes is it?
I havnt been going to away games lately, but if thats the best example of us being hard done by then we've more than got what weve deserved.

Paynter left on a free- we didn't replace him.
Austin was sold- we didn't replace him.
Easy isn't it.

But not true. Pericard was supposed to be Paynter's replacement, Benyon was brought in to replace Austin. Erm, I didn't say we replaced them well.... |

Oh and FWIW I assumed the phrase "Town's failures up front" referred to the players in question, not the tactics. But apparently not, so I'll chip in with the fact that we seem to have assembled The World's Largest Collection of Non-Scoring Strikers (tm) as my suggestion. Doesn't take much analysis does it?

You could use that to defend Danny Wilson. Who ended up having to play Dossevi up front on his own. But not Hart. He's had Grella, Andrew and Benyon. Options he has failed to use to any effect. |

It's not easy to replace the quality we had up front, I admit that but like pauld said, the replacements, as of yet haven't worked out. The thing with Paynter was that the club had all summer to go out and get in a like for like replacement but they in turn gambled on Pericard being the man and the gamble hasn't paid off. The situation with Austin is slightly different, if it wasn't for his goals in the 1st half of the season we would have been bottom at christmas. So what do we do, we sell him and again don't replace him properly. Naivity.

I think its more to do with not creating chances than the individual(s) we play up top.

I know a lot of fans have criticised Hart on here for playing one up front but how does playing two up front guarantee you goals with our players? If Hart feels that the team is better suited to 4-5-1 and trying to nick games rather than playing 4-4-2, exposing our shit defence and getting ripped to shreads every single week then I'm behind him. When we do get relegated it's not because of Paul Hart anyway. It goes way beyond that. |

I agree Mr Verve - I've just posted some stats that I think back up the fact that the lack of goals is not to do with Hart - but with Austin. The difference Hart seems to have made so far is that we're not conceding as before.

Can anyone tell me when this has worked in our favour? From memory Shearer (didn't score more than one a goal a game for the rest of the season), Fallon (relegated), Austin (relegated). I don't blame the board for selling Austin, and we had been following Benyon for a while (it seems, I have no knowledge about this, but his name was mentioned a lot and for a loing time). I believed Pericard would replace Paynter (not to the tune of 30 goals, but nearer 20), and I was clearly not alone in that (and I was also clearly wrong!). The biggest problem was not replacing Greer. |
