Same old Same old

Quoted from Ruston AT

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!

I think burnsy today was just on one big urine take but facts are the game was fooking rubbish and gtfc being a big club in this league its simply not good enough. Btw i hope chelsea slam ten past the mud rat tomoz and steve bruce chins burnsy for asking after the game what happened their steve

Been back an hour trying to make some sense out of what I witnessed-especially in the second half. To be fair we shaded the first half although our only attempt worthy of the description was a header from "Old" MacDonald which hit the top of the bar. Macca didn't have a save of note to make in the entire half.
I don't pretend to be a master tactician but my aged aunt could identify that whatever it purports to be our formation ISN'T 4-3-3. No end of times "The Shop" was ploughing a lone furrow. The wide men are inconsistent-especially Colbeck who unerringly manages a good cross followed by a very poor one.
Once John-Lewis went off injured (one of the very few who appears to be willing to die for the cause) any attacking "nous" went with him.
I'm making the assumption that our "formation" requires the midfield three to get forward in support. Today it just didn't happen. Disley (although one of the brighter players) is playing far too deep. Kerr doesn't appear to have "the legs" for what is required and McLoughlin reminds me of Frankie Artus at his most ineffective.
Perhaps I'm over simplifying the issues but there are a lot of teams in this league who put themselves about in midfield. We appear woefully inadequate in dealing with them. Both Kerr and Paddy were guilty of dabbing a foot in on several occasions.
Defensively Aswad was the pick of the bunch for me. MacDonald appears to be unable to jump. Presumably he thinks he doesn't need to given that he's 6 feet 7.
Macca lacks confidence in those in front of him.
The goal although very well taken was ridiculous in it's construction. The scorer was allowed to come inside and fire an unstoppable shot without a Town defender getting within five yards of him.
Southwell had an interesting cameo role for the last few minutes and could have got us a point but shot straight at the keeper.
A 14 player melee saw the referee bottle it when the main protagonist-Wellings number 5 was allowed to go head to head with the shop and ALLEGEDLY make unsavoury comments without any form of punishment.
Just like Aldershot last Saturday Welling refused to let Town settle enough to play their new found "pretty football"-a situation that I suspect will be played out again and again over the coming weeks. The issue for Messrs Scott and Hurst is do they have a Plan B?

I was there, sadly. Only a short one from me as I've been on it all day but it was absolutely dreadful, shocking in fact. They couldn't pass, tackle and they seemed clueless against the worst opposition I can remember although to be fair to Welling, the gave it everything they had. But they were so limited I almost pitied them, all they had was direct balls and pick up the pieces. The only time they ran at us, they scored. It was terrible, horrific. I wish I had the words to convey how bad we were. NO shots on goal, their keeper should have kept his glove off and had a picnic.

Desperately sorry for those who did go today going on their reports of the game

It's not often I go on other fans sites but thought I would tonight just to see if they are all on cloud nine about taking our scalp but to be fair they've given their own honest assessments of what they saw

It's more like an acceptance that they've beaten a bad team rather than their own guys rising to the occasion and playing out of their skins, which to me is more an indictment of how poor we were than any other reason as to why we came away with nothing

Back to the drawing board for next week then....

From reading their board it seems that a Town fan has punched one of the dressing room windows through.  That'll be an expensive trip back down for the banning order

In order for a plan "B" Barra, there has to be a plan "A"

Quoted from grimsby pete

I see Miller and Cambridge are top of the league,

If only eh !

But Miller didn't want to stay because his wife didn't like the area.I was informed of this by a reliable source within the club ( who's identity, for obvious reasons ,I won't divulge ).

The cheeky cow...

From having a somewhat successful team last season we have now signed players who`s egos seemed to be larger than their ability to compete to win, why the need for such drastic changes befuddles me, can we honestly say that our back four are now  better than the water tight defence of last season, are the so called quality players from York playing the opposition off the park and feeding the strikers telling passes, IMO we now have strikers when fit to make a fist of scoring within  this league if given the right service, and don`t talk to me about plan B when there is no A.
We seem to be going backwards when after three games the performances in two of them are diabolical
