    Why our crowds are awful

    I thought everyone was so happy we were back home that they'd give the team their full committed loyalty past one single home game. It seems to be a case of 'How wonderful we're back home, but now we're back home it's everything back to normal.' If numbers had turned up previously while we were...

    Steven pressley

    Totally agree. He needs to turn this round fast otherwise the fans will indeed start to really get on his back.

    Steven pressley

    I'm mot liking him at this very moment for sure, but he has been very good at bringing kids through and giving them a chance, which is something many of our previous managers have been reluctant to do and he is willing to change. Last season we were shipping in goals and giving goals away late...

    How can SP say this squad is better????

    Exactly Nick. We do have some good players here and I would say Fleck, Johnson, O'Brien, Jackson, Clarke, Webster, Thomas, Haynes, Nouble should all be good enough for this division. We need a system that fits the players, not players that we just try to fit into a system.

    Did detect the sacrcasm and threw it staight back at you.

    Formation and team

    Sorry, but Barton is just not good enough. Left out in the wilderness by a succession of managers and nothing like the sort of player we require right now for this team.

    Formation and team

    Would like to see more of Finch in that midfield role. Pressley has to be careful not to have too many young players in the side at once however.

    Reda....

    He could get back in the team if he's in a wheelchair. And why wouldn't he walk back into the team after 3 successive defeats anyhow?

    Booklet or Card

    The card is great for flashing at bars and clubs etc. in the city centre. Everytime I am with friends and I want an excuse to go home, I simply flash my card and would be refused entry.

    Formation and team

    Burge (at least give him a try, or bring in another keeper) Clarke, Willis, Johnson, Pugh O'Brien, Fleck, (bring a strong, combatitive midfielder in) Haynes Nouble, Jackson.

    Formation and team

    Alsop Phillips Willis Reda Haynes O'Brien Fleck Barton Swanson Nouble Jackson On paper I have to say, that looks a truly shocking line-up. We would get hammered playing that team. Midfield already looks like it's lacking strength and yet Liam would like to play Barton and Swanson?

    Wanting a Retro shirt

    I'm wanting a retro team at the moment.

    Player Ratings v PNE

    I just noticed the stats, BBC is saying we had 51% possession. Is that right? :confused: From what I recall the first 25 mins or so we hardly even touched the ball and in the 2nd half, as soon as they scored, they completely dominated and their fans were doing the Olé's and we were nowhere...

    Player Ratings v PNE

    At the moment I think you'd have to say, if you shut down Haynes you shut down our entire attacking threat. Pretty much all our good stuff has come down the left hand side. Yesterday, you are right about Clarke. There were several times when he was completely free on the right and we didn't go...

    How can SP say this squad is better????

    As someone said, when we go ahead the system works okay on the whole, but when we are behind and chasing games this system doesn't create enough goalscoring opportunities for us and we look rather powder puff then.

    Player Ratings v PNE

    Yep, totally agree. 3-5-2 makes us a lot more solid, but we hardly offer any attacking threat and if we switch back to 4-4-2 i can see last year's defensive frailties coming back to haunt us once again. Then you have to add to that, that up front I just don't think we have the same goal power...

    Player Ratings v PNE

    I'm not sure where a 7 for Fleck is coming from. As Stupot says, our midfield was totally dominated for pretty much the entire game.

    Comes to something when you have to scratch you head and struggle to actually find a MOTM.
