Back 4 didn't concede a goal and the full-backs don't get forward, collectively no more than 6 each. midfield don't want to give away space in front of the back 4 and don't get forward or play in good crosses or killer passes in to feet for the forwards, collective 6. The forwards are chasing scraps like Jack Russells in a junkyard and for effort deserve more than 6 but when Benno didn't get any service he made his own chances or won a pen, so 6 each. Luke Young mentioned in despatches for a goal worth a win 4 leagues higher. Still, a wins a win, and small steps and all that. We do seem like a team that is playing with the brakes on.

Sums it up nicely, albeit 6 for everyone is a tadge generous.

I would give Rutherford and Thomas 4 at most.

Team-wise, we were slightly better than Aldershot, who tried to play football, which gave us slightly more space than we get off most teams that play very defensively.

The reason Jarvis ain't playing is that he is not going to get ahead of young and Harris in a midfield two.

The Davies in centre mid experiment has failed and Durrell and Rutherford are more experienced trusted players to grind out results and get clean sheets

He doesn't win enough headers and doesn't get hold of the ball enough.

Do you think Danny Wright would do as poorly in Thomas' role?

It's based on his 11 league goals in his career.

The Davies in CM experiment is, and always was, rediculous.

Hopefully we can get the right people in running the football side of the club very soon, and get a product on the field people will actually pay to watch.

Agree. Nobody is going to pay to watch that crap, if they do got money than sense. NEW manager pronto, then football improves and I'll hand over my cash.

I'd like to see him at LB, LWB, LM, LA.

It's not as if he's a one position player, he's gone through years of PL coaching.

But no, Keates knows better and he's dumped at DM.
