100% agreed mate. However, it’s not just the delivery that’s the problem. We don’t really have anyone attacking the ball from corners — there’s been a few examples; Davies v Stoke and JCH v Brighton. In the league, however, we mainly score direct FKs I.e Shipley + McNulty v Luton (both games)...

I'm hoping yesterday was just a one-off. Thankfully Notts County are in a rut themselves, I think this game could well be a 0-0. Notts County know they have to win themselves for automatics, so may come out on the attack, hopefully we get them on the counter. I expect at least 2-3 changes. PUSB

Yes, and he's come on as a sub when we're chasing a game where he will inevitably get more chances... I think he should start next week, he's earned it, but I just think that he's probably best used as an impact sub. That's how I envisioned his role when we first signed him - and on recent...

I think at this rate, a loss v Lincoln is v possible! They’ve hit form right now and have beaten Carlisle away, a fantastic result. I’d swap the loss and draw with Notts County.

Accrington Stanley seem to be alright with 16 wins by a 1 goal margin, 8 of those being 1-0 wins... Our problem is that we don’t score enough goals, part of that is tactical. But, it is still the case that, aside from McNulty, Nazon and Jones are our second and third top goal scorers, Jones has...

You say that, but for his second goal he was deep, and he did have a ball ‘hammered head height’, which he nodded to McNulty who touched it back to him for a screamer... So the common denominator appears to be him coming off the bench at this point. I’ve always been someone who’s seen Biamou’s...

We need to sort ourselves out first and foremost. We need to chalk up wins to have a chance of autos/playoffs. No room for errors now.

He’s just not a quick centre half. Nothing more to it. However, we were chasing a game in which were 3-1 down, so we sacrificed defence to go all our out for a second and Yeovil caught us on the break. Grimmer and Haynes were pushed well forward of their usual positions so the centre halves had...

It’s not just about losses. Accrington (with one less played game) and Luton are joint top of the ‘home’ table. Notts County are 3rd, they’ve lost the least amount of games.

I think this will probably be a draw. Both teams will probably lacking in confidence. Probably a 0-0 on the cards. We need to score first this game. Probably 4-4-2 again because it’s away. Biamou, Davies (if fit) and maybe Stokes to come in. Something like: Burge (unless injured) Grimmer...

I’m just calling it as I see it. In the last 2 games, he’s scored more goals than in his previous 32 league games. He looks like a completely new player, he’s looked clinical and confident in front of goal. Hence, that absolute screamer he scored. I am only speculating, and I’m certainly not...

Zoko (their striker) scores their second, who was in fact McDonald’s man. It’s not a full back’s job to mark strikers in open play. Also, the ball came down right side of the field so if any full back could’ve made a difference, it was Grimmer. Who happened to be very lackadaisical tracking...

I've never once said Haynes had good defensive discipline or positioning. My argument was purely that Haynes was being singled out for undue criticism. You've focused on his faults for the first goal - which we've established Grimmer failed to prevent the cross (why haven't you criticised him?)...

We've already established he weren't at fault for their 1st goal. As for the second goal? Both Grimmer and Haynes were high up field - so I don't really see how you can single out Haynes? In fact, go and watch the highlights over again, you'll see Grimmer trotting back despite the threat. You...

Why is anyone who hasn't gone to the game given air time? 6-2 is a pretty damning scoreline, but that's without context. The first 15m was the worst defensive display I think I have ever seen from any team. That said, I have seen far more sorry performances from Cov over the years. We created...

Sports fans are the worst. As soon as you like someone, they can do no wrong, of you don’t like them, they can do no right. I absolutely dreaded Doyle and Platt in the Hoofroyd day’s. I couldn’t see any positives back then. Mind you, was about 15 back then — everything was black and white.

Exactly, that’s precisely my point. The way some people on this forum hark on, he’s responsible for every ill in our team. Based on today, he was our least worse defender. The other 3 and Burge were that bad. I don’t perticularly rate Haynes, but I think he gets a lot of undue stick.

Ok, so the mistakes that have directly cost us points: Yeovil (A) - 2-0, 27m Newport (H) - 1-0, 53m FGR (H) - 1-0, 29m Exeter (A) - 1-0, 7m Luton (H) - 2-2, 57m (JCH lost his marker so it wasn’t just Burge’s mistake) Yeovil (H) - 6-2, 4m I think you’re misdiagnosing the problem. Over 46 games...

I think Haynes gets a lot more stick than he deserves. Defensively, Grimmer can be unconvincing himself. You say Haynes goes missing, yet, a game like today, the only defender not to be badly exposed, was Haynes. He got skinned a few times, but he was nowhere near as calamitous as his teammates...

Well, you can’t really count today because we lost by 4 goals and the defence were culperable in 5 of the 6 we conceded. Also, what about the finishing? If Vincenti buries a tap in at 1-0, it’s a totally different game. We’d have a grand total of 4, 6 if you count the Luton’s first (though JCH...
