It's a simple game really.  Saw it against Mansfield... you are never going to "out clog" a bunch of cloggers.  

We seem to be very good at trying to put square pegs in round holes trying to nullify the more basic teams in this division. We end up making ourselves worse off and bringing our quality down to the level of opponents.  By doing this alone we have lost de facto. Just a thought; but lets pick our best team and play to our strengths ?

Quoted from rancido
I have a lot of faith in MJ but he does seem to complicate things. I feared the worst when we signed Hanson because I thought we would become "One dimensional" and sadly I seem to have been proved right. He planned the win against Exeter, yet didn't seem to plan for Mansfield or Stevenage. Use the full squad MJ or you could become another statistic in our history-another "nearly man".


I don’t know if he really planned the Exeter win or not. Easy to say after a good result and performance. He had to rest players after the Chelsea chasing so his options were actually limited. The result must have been a pleasant surprise but what to do then? Money was spent to bring in Hanson and Green probably on the promise of game time so we revert to Plan A, a team with no pace and easy to stop for a side like Stevenage with a bit of clogging.

MJ seems to overthink things but worse than that, he is stubborn in not realising what works and what doesn’t in this division.

Play the team that beat the league leaders ffs, i know wright is injured but that dont mean we play a defensive centre mid out wide.

Stop complicating it.

Ogbu was pretty hopeless when he came on.

He 'stubbornly' believed Max to be an impact player despite his record of goals and assists over the last two seasons. He has been just as stubborn in not seeing how Green and Whitehouse have been really poor generally.

MJ said he knew exactly what format he planned to use against Exeter. It just seems a shame he can't plan what he needs against other teams.

That was Shocking
4 defeats in 5 now, in all games
MJ and the management team should hang there heads tonight
What was that?  against a team that hadn’t won all season

Come on Town!!

Can’t have the MJ explanation of Hendrie playing left back when we’ve got a left footed left back on the bench. Maybe Hendrie is a better option than Ring but he certainly isn’t better than Gibson.

Buckley used to say instead of worrying about the opposition, play your best team and let them worry about you.

He did okay.
