Fair enough waiting for players to become available from Sweden, but we need to pick a team for the here and now. There weren't really any red flags during pre-season so I can forgive one bad team selection but hopefully, there'll be a rethink for the next games. I imagine we'll be playing 4-4-2 before long as that's always what we seem to end up doing after an attempt to break out the mold.

We lost 1-4 and ordinarily I would have been foaming at the mouth however in reality we lost to what I reckon will be a top 6 side and gifted them all 4 goals courtesy of our own mistakes.We won`t gift anybody else 4 goals we will get better and I have every confidence that after 12 games we will all be fairly relaxed by Fishy standards (except Swin).

I’m not worried about the defence we had a bad day at the office, it’s scoring goals i worry about.

Quoted from 75
Saturday was shambolic, yes it is one game but we were so far behind a tinpot village outfit like Forest Green, I don't think it's wrong to be concerned already. I do have faith in Michael Jolley, but his team selection was baffling. The two 'wing backs', the central midfield choices, the punts to the small forwards against giant centre backs. I'm sorry but he isn't immune to criticism, he can turn up and as many BBQ's as he wants, he will be judged on results.

Paul Dixon for example, he has proved himself time and time again to be out of his depth for whatever reason at league two level. Yes, he has two Scotland caps, he has played at a higher level than league two. He has been woeful since he signed, he was as poor as anyone on Saturday. Senior pros such as Collins and John Welsh were continually shouting at him to get into the right position on Saturday, you'd expect that of a young lad making his way, not a 32 year old former international footballer. His body language is negative, he doesn't seem to look up. He gets caught the wrong side of the man he is marking time and time again, he is always going to get turned and he is physically weak.



Sorry, I could claim the opposite and bury my head in the sand, I appreciate it is only my opinion and I am open to discussion if people think I'm wrong. But if we are to move forward, he should not be starting games, he's under contract, I get that and I don't seen anyone coming in for him.



Tin pot maybe but they can still afford ( thanxs to their Chairman) good players and a good manager.

Thanks for the welcome Guys
Think you are right about scapegoats Old Codger …….Mike Hickman , Phil Bonnyman . Bobby Mitchell and many more over the years !


They were good players and really contributed when they played, trouble is Dixon was crap in just about every game he played.
