Just back

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Give Woolford a FB with a bit of pace and you’ll se a difference, he’s a clever player who needs an energetic partner who can get into space quickly.

Going forward though when Osborne is fit Do we consider a shift to 4-3-3?

                            Macca
             Davis Clarke Collins Dixon
             Summerfield Osborn Berret
                  Dembele Jones DJ

Though the above might not be the 11 we would go with I am not convinced with the current squad 4-4-2 is working that well in terms of creating shots on goal. I personally would like to see Bolarinwa involved somewhere as he is the only on with real pace

Apart from his goal at Accrington in all the games I have seen him play I don't think he is any more clever than any of the other players we have and looks totally unfit to me.

Quoted from NorthseaMariner

Sorry, I cannot agree with supposed supporters chanting “You don’t know what you’re doing” against your own team/ manager whilst the game is going on. If Hooper or DJ had won the game, what would we have said then? Complain afterward.

Yes, I didn’t agree with the subs, but I’m not the manager. I felt the atmosphere in the Upper late in the second half was white toxic and unpleasant. Too many “fans” that are quiet as mice when we’re playing okay, but really vociferous when things aren’t going so well. In fact seem to relish that we’re not playing well so the can shout abuse at anyone and anything.

Made me think, that although I’ve got my season ticket, much more of that atmosphere, rather than the football on show will drain any enjoyment for me and make me think twice about going.

Probably get slagged for this, but that’s my take.

If my 6 numbers had come up last night I would be nearly £6 million richer.

By his own admission when he signed he was pretty unfit due to the lack of a pre season. You can do all you like in the week but the best way to get fit is to play a run of full matches. Reminds me of when Clements signed for his first half a dozen games he looked light weight once he got a good level of fitness he started to run games.

BTW Where are all these proven “clever” left sided attackers we have been hiding?

Whats with the "fans" ?

Do you mean if they don't think/act like you their not proper fans??

They aren’t supporting the team are they if they are forever booing and moaning about everything anybody associated with the club does.

I think the current GTFC starting XI is very solid, 100% grafters, play for the shirt, trying their guts out and we are getting everything from nearly all of the players.
That only take you so far though
What we lack is a spark in and around the box; a lot more creativity; and (dare I say it) an Amond type goal poacher

IMO there isn't a lot wrong and most clubs I've seen this season are a virtual carbon copy of us - honest, hardworking but lack potency

Take Summerfield and Berret - they are playing really well at the moment and in many ways can't be expected to give us any more. They are limited in certain areas (like most L2 players) and are they a midfield partnership that will see us near the top of the league?

4 clean sheets in last six games and only 1 defeat in 9/10?? (can't remember) says there is a lot of positives but of course a lack of goals is the killer

Not easy to solve on our limited budget

Osborne will hopefully give us an edge - but I'm not sure where he will fit in (even though I'd pick him all day long) cos Russ will be looking at his current midfield and thinking they are dong fine. What I'm saying is that I'm not sure RS will pick him

Goalscorer? God knows!

Quoted from Maringer

Good point about the Dixon/Woolford axis on our left. Dixon did fine today, has been part of a defence unbeaten in quite a number of games and one which has kept four clean sheets from the past six games. Despite this, some have singled him out as being terrible!

He's no world beater, but he's capable enough. Woolford a little disappointing after a decent start after he joined - not good, not terrible.

If one of these two players had a bit of pace, we might see a bit more from our left. Not sure that Jaiyesimi has enough to be a regular and win Woolford's place, however. He's shown the odd flash (in his limited time), but has also done very in some sub appearances, however short they may be.

You can always be relied upon to defend the left eh Maringer..

They are supporting the team because their arses are on the seats not at home ratteling some excrement of their keyboard.
You dont make the decision weather they are "fans" just because they let their feeling known.
I flipping hate Slades football and dont want him anywhere near our club but I didn't boo or chant when he made stupid substitutions but any one who paid their money can say what they want.
Last time I looked we had a free country.

So if he isn't fit why hasn't he been sent out on loan as other have?

I assume most have paid to get in.
