1 goal in 8 games is embarrassing.

Considering that Jolley rebuked the suggestion that 4-3-3 is actually 4-5-1, we may as well have been playing 4-6-0 for all the good this system has done us since the end of September.

I appreciate we created chances against Cheltenham and Carlisle, and AL seems to have got at least some response from the players. But, as I've said on another thread, 5 games is too long a stretch to suggest we're simply unlucky in front of goal.

Only one goal in the last 8 league games,

I don't get to many games now days but I did see Rose smash that one into the back of the net.

So I should not grumble  ffs !!!!!!!!!

So the obvious stat. is one goal in eight league games - which backs up my stance on other threads about the strikers - not a management issue.
Any new manager can shuffle this pack - but I fear the same result.


In past seasons goals have come from all over the park, the likes of Disley  and Pearson would chip in with 15 goals between them with the odd goal from others in midfield, This season our whole team seem to be void of goals not just the strikers

It is not just a pack shuffle that a new manager could do. It may be the strikers who are missing sitters but the way the side is playing we hardly ever get other players into the box other than set pieces. Our midfield players rarely get in front of the ball or arrive late for a cross. That is a manager’s issue. It is OK to be neat and tidy as we are trying to be but AL seems to have as little idea as Jolley on the importance of getting more players into the area.

The other thing about strikers, Vernam’s awareness of other players is not good. Just watching highlights he could lay the ball off much better. Maybe confidence, I don’t know but it needs fixing.

Have no fear, both the winless & goal-less runs are sure to end on Saturday.  We haven't won a league match at Blunder Park since 1969.  

Mind you GY have never won a league match at Glanford Park / The Sahara Desert Sands Casino Stadium.

Well true, but it’s also true that Liverpool have never won the Premier League, which doesn’t sound right either, but of course it IS true.

Anyway, there’s no doubting it, Scunny are favourites this Saturday and we need to seriously buck the recent trend to get a result.
