so that's an admission that the midfield lacks creativity, and that Im wrong to blame Jolley...
not sure which fence you are sitting on, but you are definitely sat down
How we lacking? We had 13 shots all be it only 2 on target.. FGR had 9.. does their midfield lack creativity then?.. your a clown

This creative midfielder idea is a load of cobblers in the present lower leagues. Nobody has a player with that job spec. If we did it would be less than 5 minutes before somebody was yelling he doesn’t tackle/track back/cover the grass .......
In any case it isn’t what the side needs. Despite 3 good signings up front we still are firing blanks. We needed Morecambe’s defence to gift us two goals for a win and we had opportunities to beat Bradford. Just one goal from a sniffer would have done it. Even Hanson for all his aerial dominance failed to hit the target today. These are experienced strikers we have up there. The club is full to bursting with strikers. Why on earth can’t we get them to hit the ball properly on target and wide of the keeper? Please don’t let’s get hung up on creativity. This league is about hard work, pace and finishing.
Agree with this, especially the highlighted part. Our problem still is scoring goals, as it has been for a good while. The type of team that goes places is one that would have put away at least one of the chances we created yesterday, and would have left with a point or three. Although it's not very pretty to watch, the style of play we have adopted this season is the way to go in League 2, but you have to take a good percentage of the few chances that come along. We are four games into the season and we have scored four goals. We are quite tight at the back on initial impressions, so we won't have to score a boatload to pick up points, but i think we will see a lot of games decided by the odd goal either way, and quite a few draws. Unless we can get the ball in the net a bit more regularly, we will have another mid table season. It seems a long time since we had a healthy goal difference.

the point you quote is absolute balderdash, Hanson has scored goals, do you think all of them where from inside his own half, or he made them himself. We dont score goals, because we dont create enough chances, it really is that simple. Joleey needs to sort this and sort it now..the football is middle of the road garbage, and its about time that he realised it. Same garbage, same season.

Oversimplified but 15 shots away compared to their 10 says we created plenty of opportunity. An off day from Hanson when he should have scored a few times nothing to do with the midfields lack of creativity.

We've had more shots and more shots on target than the opposition in all three of the league games we've played.

A more balanced 'post' title would be 'Concerned over lack of creativity in midfield'
If the original poster had offered a more nuanced argument I would have far more sympathy
'Total failure'? Over the top garbage. I think MJ has consistently said he is trying to get a creative type into the club and I assume that search continues
'Strengthen' - Elliott Whitehouse is (in many ways) a new signing and has strengthened things
The concern is - and it is a genuine concern - that all three midfielders are of a type; strong running, combative, 100% committed, great engines etc but lacking the craft and guile to serve up quality delivery
Having said all of that our strikers were wasteful yesterday so perhaps not a huge issue?
So, like any successful blend in any football team, you need balance between those attributes and flair (1966 World Cup - Charlton, Ball and Stiles being an obvious example)
Problem comes I believe is the fact GTFC are a long way down pecking order for attracting creative midfielders and goal-machine forwards in terms of splashing cash
We are obviously going more direct this season - that's fine (even though I prefer passing) - but even the Godfather of long ball at BP - Slade - found room for creative types (eg: Woodhouse).
I always feel long ball football has its limitations - teams can be sussed out and tactics put in place to prevent them being so effective; so you do need an alternative and balance in the squad
I don't think it is a massive handicap at this stage having the current midfield but an 'Osborne/Embleton' type (in the former's case for his qualities on the pitch) would give a far greater balance and more options...Harry probably giving way
But again, 4/6pts from next two games and the argument should go away... such is the nature of the game

Hoping, at some point, to see Hewitt in centre mid in what he says is his preferred position. Probably Harry dropping out.
