An excellent and often overlooked point.

The other thing which is often self-defeating and what I sometimes bang on about is this obsession with tracking back all the time from wide players or in Hurst's case every player.

We win it back, then what? Nobody is forward to hit, no width anywhere, so League 2 players are expected to win the ball back in their own defensive third and then launch an attack by keeping it long enough for somebody to get remotely near the opposition's goal. Usually what happens is we lose the ball in short order to start the process all over again.

If Hurst continues with this plan we will sign another load of hard-working players in the summer, who will encounter the same problems.

We surely have to start giving the opposition much more to think about. It is not even a successful strategy based on the number of goals we ship; people in each other's way making daft tackles like on Saturday.

It feels like at school when the teacher used to shout at you spread out lads!


What?  you don't want 11 defenders in a team?  Anyway, spot on.  When it's back against the walls time, fair enough but you are spot on.  Why did we get rid of JMD?  Things might have  happened if we got the ball to him.

The fact that he joined Torquay who are relegated to NLS.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
