Worryingly we are not making chances, the defence sounded fine Mills,Pearson,Collins and Andrew but  Bogle on his own is no good especially with Jackson,Vose er al not  causing any threat either.

yes, it's odd, we were all expecting MB to be favouring attacking football, maybe taking risks, but that hasn't transpired yet. Maybe it's just a matter of the players actually translating what he is asking for into action on the pitch? I think Disley could be instrumental in this simply because of his organisational skills but I don't know anything. Still, two clean sheets in a row, 4 points out of 6, it could be worse

It sounds like we have a team of players who simply cant pass a ball


It does seem like that. However, it's not always the player in possession who is at fault. If there is no movement off the ball, there is no pass on. Lumping it forward looks sh1te but sometimes is the only safe option.

That's not to say we don't give the ball away too much. We certainly do. But we need to work a lot harder off the ball IMHO.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Still waiting for this attacking football you promised us marcus.

Strange because what we have seen is completely the opposite you said you would offer although it is still early i suppose.

Not got the players for it yet. The forwards and midfielders are all much of a muchness. I expect MB will be looking to recruit for this area.

I think thats an easy cop out in a way ginny , we certainly have some attacking players and that should not be overlooked in fairness.

Henderson made two good saves, although I thought blackpool were not much of a threat throughout. On the other hand we were not clinical enough, Vose was the only one trying to make things happen.

We were effectively playing with 9.5 players today as Jackson might as well not have been on the pitch and Tombola is an impact sub and squad player for me. Better players to pick from there and we might have looked like scoring. You can't expect a manager to get a team running smoothly straight away. Even Buckley took a while to achieve that and got a bit of stick at first. Non league manager playing non league football with non league players was the verdict when he first came in.

What the hell as happened to Jackson he looked so promising early on? My own theory is he needs to play much closer to Bogz and feed off him more.
