I know nobody, that I am aware of, has said Wrexham parked the bus but they certainly didn't. When they attacked they got plenty of men forward and worked hard to get behind the ball and to press us when they didn't.

Maybe we could sabotage the pitch at BP so we can play both legs away. Kingfield or Kingsmeadow would be good for the "home" legs  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from grimsby pete
The reason we are better away is because teams attack us and we play better against teams that do that,

At home a lot of teams come for a point or if they do score first they try and hang on to the 3 points,

Most of the time they have managed that because we do not know how to break them down,

We do not have wingers that can beat a man and put the ball on the head or feet of a goal scorer,

Even if we did have those wingers we do not have a goal scorer who can put those chances away.

I hope we win the away leg in the play offs then the team will have to attack us at Blundell Park,

If we lose the away leg then I can not see us getting to Wembley,

However if we do manage to get to Wembley it will be 50/50 whoever we play,

As long as they do not score first and shut up shop.


Do these teams not try to park the bus at Barnet and Bristol then?

He was moaning that our home record was poor because teams repeatedly parked the bus. Sorry but teams from barca, psg, Chelsea, Sheffield u mk Dons, Luton face the same problem. And they seem to find a way round it,yet he seems no further on after three years as to solving the problem

Yes but those teams are better than breaking them down than we are,

Look at their home form.

They are not as good as us away though,

Maybe we should play all our games away.

Should we ground share with the scunts ?

Clearly they are better at breaking them down. The question is, how do they do that? With the exception of Akinde it is not about strikers, it is more about the midfield in my view and the pace of attacks. It takes us far too long to get the ball into the danger area and we struggle to turn teams round so it is easy for them to defend as the ball is always in front of them.

Hearn usually found ways to score in his good season.

At home, it is about midfielders creating more chances and the strikers then taking them. (And/or the midfielders scoring more goals).

A combination of a pacey winger, who can put a cross in. MacKreth. A creative midfielder, someone who can pick a pass. We don't have one of those. A natural born goal scorer. We don't have one of those. Akinde and Lenny upfront would cause teams all sorts of problems. Particularly if we have Mackreth and that illusive midfielder, who can create something out of nothing. Any ideas?
