I would be ashamed to play alongside Bogle every week and not score, at the moment we need to find another striker who can score goals, too much on his shoulders for me,  while others are swanning around

Quoted from ginnywings
Not a fan of Vose myself, think he's a lazy player despite his obvious skills. Chambers a big miss for me too as Tombola just doesn't have a football brain despite his pace and power.

Town make a habit of getting poor teams back to winning ways. They have taken one point from the last 6 games and sounded like Brazil second half. Think this shows that the inconsistency will probably see us not challenging at the higher end of the table and who would have thought that this game in the tough run of games would be the first one we lost in?


Too much of a luxury for me - we hold our shape much better when Chambers and Berrett play - awaits the Berrett knockers......

Agreed. That seems so obvious when you look at the scoring stats for the top teams. They're not just depending on one striker to get the goals, and all have several who are finding the net.

Shows how far we have come in the last 12 months that we are so disappointed with a 3-2 away defeat in League two.  At the start of the season I would have been happy to lose most games if we just survived- not any more!

It's far too simplistic to say it's the defenders' faults when we concede. I think we've got a major problem in our central midfield this season, they offer little protection for our back four and also to compound our issues are not mobile enough to drive us forward. Question marks about everyone that plays in there. They should be the glue that holds the team together, and they don't, they're far too inconsistent and frail.

I know he's a fans favourite, but Pearson is not the answer at the back, maybe Gowling isn't too. Shaun is too slow and has a bad habit of ball watching. Would scare me playing him and Collins together, would be the slowest pairing in the whole league. If MB thinks Dan Jones is not up to it, I think we need to recruit a new centre half in January as well as one or two central midfielders like Carlisle have got. We then may be solid enough to get the best out of the attacking threat we've got at our disposal.

Would like to see MB offload one or two deadwood contracted players and some loanees if he can in January and get his own team together asap.

Totally agree Bigdog. Think we have a poor array of midfielders, who are all much of a muchness. Carlisle showed what we should be aspiring to in that department. It seems to be a problem season after season. They don't score enough either.

I think this next fortnight would be well spent by Bignot sussing out some of the players desire and attitude.



I don't think desire and attitude are the pressing problems, I think it's got a lot more to do with the lack of physicality and ability of some we've got in the squad..

Agree regarding Pearson and Gowling - maybe Jones or even Boyce have the pace to be Danny Collins' partner. In central midfield, we clearly lack an enforcer which is I'm sure what McAllister was signed for, Dis is not the answer and all of Summerfield, Berrett and Vose are attack-minded leaving Comley who was strangely out of sorts against Carlisle (former club maybe?). Bolarinwa flatters to deceive - Chambers is far more adept in that role.
