Slade's way of playing emphasises:

Crosses (as many as possible)
Set pieces
Enforced errors

If delivery is sh1t, as it was today, you're not going to score. Statistically, of course, the vast majority of goals are scored via the above, not following a 7 pass move. If you hit and hope and create very little, but rely on the above for goals, there will be plenty of games when you look like you won't score, especially if players can't deliver a decent cross, corner or free kick. There is no excuse for the general standard of delivery today. These are pro's.

The truth is - we don't have good enough players to play a passing game, or to make the direct tactic work.
We will probably fudge it every few weeks and pick up some points, but we won't progress until we invest in better quality players and then vary our game plan accordingly.

A point of discussion yesterday was our terrible delivery from corners, free kicks and open play. We said the same as chaos. namely that if you are going to play the type of game Slade favours, then you have to have someone in the side who can deliver a mean free kick and wingers who can beat the first man. Many wasted opportunities yesterday.

Make you wonder what Paul Wilkinson does in training.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

A very good player for town but jury must still be out re his ability as a coach. Was it not Wilko who was raving about the signing of Sam Kelly?, if so enough said.

Wilko sounds half asleep when he is interviewed.

Proves how vital Bogle was last season
Unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat we will need to have lots of clean sheets to win matches cos we donlt like like scoring 2 let alone 1
Cardwell needs a run I feel - Matt was poor yesterday, Jones faded, Vernon not a goal machine, JJ very inconsistent

It's a problem
