Quoted from Maringer
Very much after the Lord Mayor's Show tonight. They are playing us well, packing midfield and defence and we're too slow passing it through midfield to get anywhere. We could easily have conceded as well after they got in behind but fluffed the effort. Best chance for us was Clifton who had a shot well-saved but I thought he went for the wrong side of the goal.

It's not just a problem of passing it slowly through midfield, it's the fact that we're not mixing up the style of play. I think we've put the ball over the top perhaps once or twice and we're not getting anywhere much trying to pass it through the 9 men in defence when we get the ball in midfield.

Coke almost a liability tonight. So slow on the ball, has lost possession a couple of times in risky areas and I think we'd be a lot better off if he wasn't on the pitch. Take him off, either bung Burgess in there or drop Clifton back into midfield and bring on Scannell or Abrahams. Perhaps a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2?


I said the same at the time.

Yeah seemed an odd decision. Not a natural goal scorer is Harry, although he has plenty of things to offer.

I thought this was a game were our lack of anyone with that instinctive goal scoring streak really showed.  On the chances we did get crossed into the box either nobody there or the player was behind multiple defenders.

Plus mcatee was really badly off it today

Bloody awful... so frustrating watching us around the box tonight... passing poor.... ok we shudda had a pen... hit the post & one cleared off the line. KL came to spoil and did exactly that..  time wasting , feigning injury ,all the usual fan baiting... oh... and the referee was ( again ) very poor... but we failed to rise above it all.
However  , before last Saturday I predicted 7 points out if 9 this week... so at least we're still on track for that...

It can't be the same v. Aldershot  !  Can it ??? I'll be there... UTM  !!!

4 away games you've listed there though and even chucked in a cup game to top up the list. Kings Lynn are the first team currently below us in the table that we haven't beaten at home this season.


I didn’t realise you were referring only to home games. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to include the cup game when our opponents were two leagues below us. I appreciate that you’re trying to offer a positive take on things, but my gut feeling has always been that we’re likely to come unstuck against weaker opposition. So much so that I took Bet365’s odds on the draw tonight.

Good work on the bet but look at our overall record this season against the top 10 excluding us and then the other 13. Our problem this season really isn't our record against the weaker teams.

OK. I take your point, but I do feel that we ought to have managed a win against tonight’s opposition. The result may have been against the grain as you point out, but we really shouldn’t write it off as a bad day at the office.
