The worrying fact is that Town failed to score. It is all very well for Scott & Hurst to say there is a great choice of class strikers at the club but only 2 of them are genuine goal poachers and neither was fit today.
The other thing is that if you play 4-3-3 you must have a front 3 where all of them are a genuine goal threat and have pace. If there's an injury and you can't replace like with like then your best bet is a switch to 4-4-2. If you don't then the midfield just gets pushed back and you are left with a lone striker.

It is still early doors but it is the lack of enthusiasm from the kick off, lack of fire in the belly for a fight and none of the players grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck stamping their authority on the game that is pish.

Echo that sentiment Gobby....all it does is leave you feeling flatter than you would have done if your expectations hadn't been upped |

Slade used to play with 3 up front and it really worked well for a while. Stan, Reddy and Parky all could score and were basically strikers. We're only playing with one out and out striker and 2 wide players, and he's got a very poor goals ratio as I recall. It's more like 4-5-1 to me than 4-3-3.

The biggest disappointment from today was the performance. After 15 minutes we seemed to be well in control with lots of possession and balls delivered into the box. From there we ran out of ideas, then Welling realised we had nothing else to offer and came at us.
After 90 minutes we didn't have a meaningful effort on goal. It's early days but it's hard to see us scoring enough with the tactics as they are to be promoted. The shop was busy while on but had no clear cut chances and little support.

I don't really understand why we changed the tactics in the summer. Last season was a success by anyone's standards and we came close to the ultimate prize. Attendances were up, so the public were happy too - the usual moaners aside, but they still come. I'd take finishing fourth every year, eventually you'll get promoted.

I thought the managers had more savvy. The way out is down to hard work and pace in the side no matter what system you use plus you need one or two proven goalscorers. If Hearn had been fit last year I am 90% sure we would have gone up so why change everything? |

I've been a supporter of the dynamic duo over the last couple of years but listening to the match today leaves me wondering! How much more of this awful football can I stand, this has been going on since last Christmas and from what I've seen it will not improve!
More than us losing, how irritating was a certain Mr Burns making inane comments, he really does need to go back over the river and suck up to the targers. I really hate the fact that when DB did make a reasonable comment he was right!
Sorry dynamic duo time to go!
