I think it's only partly about him. Selections and tactics I think he's getting wrong, but why is it that,whoever manages us, whoever plays for us, we are just not able to compete now we're back in the league? It's systemic if you ask me. I think we are structurally rotten and the total lack of investment in the squad shows, just like it did last season. But then, you look and see that we've got extra coaching staff, plus fitness professionals and we look more disorganised and less fit than ever!
I find it hard to comprehend how GTFC can be so top to bottom dogsh1te week after week, month after month.

That's the Cowleys philosophy in a nutshell. If you throw the ball into the box often enough, the chances of scoring rise exponentially.


Without sounding obsessed with our neighbours he said last season that his team average a goal every 26 crosses so he demands a minimum of 30 crosses per game. Have we even managed 30 crosses from open play all season?

Even better if players take the ball into the box with it at their feet like Embelton did today, we don't do it but the one time we did look what happened today we scored.

He also set up Thomas to hit the bar by driving at the defence. Don't worry though, we will soon knock those shenanigans out of his game.

Jolley will find somewhere to play him that isn’t his position. How about right back?

Embleton took his goal well and had a few other good touches but was a bit anonymous other than that. In fact, he was culpable for their first goal a fair amount. Needlessly lost possession by dwelling on the ball in midfield as we were on a break so Oates was left with a free run at goal with just one man to beat.

You'd hope he'll be a bit better at retaining possession in the future though we may of course be dragging him down to our level!

The England International is only 19 or so, clearly today's debacle was his fault??? I get what you mean though and would add that it's a shame that the mute professional footballers some call senior pros should be talking to him through the game and not looking after themselves.

I think that we try and avoid putting any crosses into the box.  There is little evidence to the contrary.  Sad really.

Only trouble with the idea of scoring from crosses is that a) we have no wingers to cross the ball and b) even if Pringles does manage to get some superb balls in like he did today there's nobody who could profit from it anyway

Apart from that it's a great idea. (And actually I don't disagree with you)
