Re: Ten Games In
What most of us thought was wrong is still wrong namely poor strikers and midfield too light. I have a feeling Keates inability to sign a decent striker will come back to haunt him.But overall it's getting better watching a match and the team now have real fight in them.

Playing long ball only works with a striker who is able to hold the ball up and bring the midfield into attacking areas effectively. We don't have that kind of striker, yet we persevere with playing this way. Basic skill levels on show tonight also deeply concern me. Poor aimless passing, poor first touch, poor movement, poor anticipation - all fundamental skills. Not one of our players out there look confident enough to take a touch, lift their heads, open up their body angle and play a pass. No one looks like they can do this, then move into space to receive the ball again and keep further possession. How many passing moves did we put together tonight? How much effective passing and movement? How many times did we put a good delivery into the box? How many shots did we take? How many times did we test the keeper? This can't possibly be acceptable, especially at home. Surely? |

Re: Ten Games In
I would have accepted 17 points and 6th in table after 10 games before the season..So well Done!
We all know where the issues are with the team the creative side in midfield and attack. I dont think keates and Darlington are stupid and with us still having money left surely he will be bringing in these players sooner rather than later? I am not sure how the loan system works at the moment? Can we bring in anyone? Or will we muddle through until January and then buy some players? |

Re: Ten Games In
The defence is looking solid, although how much of that is down to the poor quality of the opposing attackers I'm not sure...
As an attacking force....Carry on as we are, and we ain't going anywhere... And that's in a league beginning to look very open.....

Re: Ten Games In
Defence is very good . None of the ten teams we have played has scored against us in the second half. Can't see us scoring many with the midfield we have and the forwards are a very average bunch. Hartlepool were the better side tonight.

Re: Ten Games In
I put this on the reaction thread but its relevant here too:
The worrying thing is our tactics and strategy seem clueless and the players have no idea what do to with the ball apart from just hoof it (or this is probably the tactic). This then raises concerns about Keates' ability as a manager. We have a worse midfield and attack than last season but a better defense and keeper. Major changes and improvements are needed and I don't see them happening given Keates record so far with attack dither gate and the lack of depth to our squad. |
