Default Re: Attacking football?

Lets not be too disappointed if we don't suddenly click today and steam roll Woking, 3 points is very much needed.
A more committed performance,, winning a few more headers, 50/50s & second balls then far less sloppy when in possession, protecting the ball would be great start. Hopefully the team can show far more confidence and not allow Woking to dictate as many periods of play as our opposition have done so far.

I'm not even sure we are set up to do that though. When we get possession, neither Wedgebury or Carrington are moving and looking to receive the ball and then create something. They'be either been told to sit back and just chase around defensively and give it to a defender to do something or they're just both crap midfielders. I'm starting to think the latter sadly.

2 defensive midfielders in Carrington and Wedgebury would suggest this, and now with a forced change with Carrington being suspended I would hope to see Akil Wright brought in, or Leo Smith, 2 players that are more attack minded.

We need to have a real go at Woking today. They are no great shakes by all means, and a win and a decent attacking performance would go a long way to lifting the spirits

C'mon the Town!!
Well the "set up not to lose rather than win a game" ploy isn't working is it? We've lost 3 out of 5. Perhaps if Keates sets up to win a game we might manage a draw.

If, just if, WST made it compulsory for DK, AD, and every player in the squad to read RP diligently, every day, do we think it would bring changes to the style and quality of play (and management at all levels maybe)?

After all, it's a Supporters Owned club, so shouldn't the expert views on here be taken seriously?

No, let's be honest, they are the ones in the positions of coaching staff, and pro footballer, cos they know more than we do, to be fair!

Bit that'll never stop fans from analysing what's wrong, what could be done to improve things etc

We all (or most of us) have played the game ourselves too, so we feel even more like we have a right to dish out advice I myself can't help doing that, that's football eh

Point taken though, we aren't the experts, with all due respect. In many ways I hope none of the players or staff ever read RP

Just taken a look at Betfred, and apparently we've lost 4 of our last 5 home games against mid table teams, and they've won 4 of their last 5 aways against mid table teams.

They've still got us 10/11 to win tho

I was being sarcastic regarding our expertise, but more than half-serious in suggesting that the players and coaches on the one hand, and the management on the other, should realise the frustration and dissatisfaction that abounds as a result of their poor performances so far - and in previous seasons.
