We haven’t just ‘happened’ to lose 2 games back to back. Both results were entirely predictable.
We did well in the early games – from a purely points accumulation viewpoint, perhaps – but I did have reservations brewing after seeing the Needham Market game on TV.
What now worries me is that we cannot afford to sit on our hands and let several games go by before action is taken. We have a great position which – who knows – may not happen again for several seasons. We cannot allow the opportunity to slip through our fingers by inactivity.
If we do not have players already in our sights – we should have and with enquiries already made!

AWG – why would we need two more strikers? Carlton can be added to our forward line pretty soon.
We have wingers – it would need to be a very special player indeed to be brought in.
I repeat – we need a big CM who doesn’t panic and leads by example.

[lesgeo]

Well. I trust that some who were getting rather blasé about us being top of the division three weeks ago – even when the cracks were clearly showing – might now be having to rethink.
The team has now gone extremely flat: struggles to pass accurately; has lost a great deal of desire; is failing to create oodles of chances; is missing the chances they do get; is being ‘read’ far too easily by opponents.
This has been hugely obvious for a good five+ weeks now.
I return to my original take on it all.
The Iron need ‘a presence’ in CM. One needs to be found – and very quick!
Furthermore, once your methods of play have been totally sussed by everyone and their cat – it necessitates having different formations to turn to.

Sile Sibanda.

I have Freeview on my phone. Never used it.
The 721 is absent.
Does it appear magically just prior to kick off, Mick?

Dunno if this will do the job.

I do like footballing skills but I think having someone in CM who could win most headers might advance the cause.

[lesgeo]

Can’t place him, Cass.
Does he have a physical presence?

[lesgeo]

Will Evans in CM had to be tried.
Okay. It did not work. So, let’s move on.
I recently wrote that we need a commanding (Bish-style) in CM. That must now be viewed as an essential move in our bid to get promoted. There can be no delay. A point lost here and another there could wreck our entire season.
Fishburn is progressing nicely but cannot lead a forward line with the current demands on him. An experienced loanee forward is therefore essential too.
Delay is dangerous.

[lesgeo]

We have now had a run of games in which the play has been increasingly unsatisfactory.
Poor passing, an absence of players fighting to get on the end of long throws are just the tip of what I suspect might be an iceberg.
It’s all very well saying “But we’re top of the league!” But if we carry on in this vein we could easily end October a good half dozen points behind top.

Time to bring in a loan forward for a month?

[lesgeo]

Sigh!

I told Mrs Lesgeo at 2-45 that our first defeat was coming this afternoon.
I never make predictions but the passing recently has been so poor against solid opposition …
Go on Iron. Prove me wrong!

[lesgeo]

I missed the cup tie replay.
Just watched the goals.
Wow. What a quintet!

[lesgeo]

Parts of The Russian Revulsion were filmed.

[lesgeo]

FA Cup. Won’t be televised, will it?

[lesgeo]

Replay Tuesday.

Brogan subbed. Maybe he’s not the answer.

[lesgeo]

I assume 3 subs only?

[lesgeo]

Down at HT. Even with 7 changes – the dullness continues.
‘Poor and lackadaisical’ according to Ollie.

Where’s Carlton Ubaezuonu?
Injured?

[lesgeo]

Good spot, IFA.

[lesgeo]

I haven’t seen enough to form an opinion.

[lesgeo]

We have seen Scales cover at RB during matches – and I often thought the same thing, WG. However, I’d be pretty reluctant to remove Barrows from the team.
One niggling concern of mine is that I am unsure as to whether Roberts works to his best in this formation.

[lesgeo]

I didn’t actually ask for a Dixon. Mind you …
