Every performance is the same, we huff and puff first half and we conceded early today and usually it’s just before half time, but after the halftime team talk we just fall to pieces, and again hardly a shot on target, 1 today.
I thought after last season more effort would have been put in this season to get a better team but again with extra injuries and style of play and lightweight players the lack of attacking football is killing the club.
it’s about time we got loan players who are better than the kids who could have played.

Has UTI99 resigned, though he would be a good candidate

A couple of players who can lift the team, make things happen and most importantly, stay fit would make all the difference
I’m reminded of something Laws said on the Bru podcast interview, along the lines of the fact that he’d been spreading his budget fairly evenly for years but, at the start of the 04/05 season, he realised that spending a few more quid on a good keeper could make far more difference than spending that money elsewhere. Result? In came Musselwhite and along with a couple of other shrewd (and experienced) signings, the defence was transformed from the one that nearly cost us our League status the previous season.
plus Baraclough.

They might not fold but maybe drop down a league or two, and like Bury have to ground share with another non league team like Gainsborough Trinity

From what I hear we dominated the first half and could have been out of site, but second half we just sat back with 10 players in the area absorbing pressure then Beestin made a silly area when he could have cleared the ball and like usual conceded and in typical Iron style gave another away with the last kick.
I would like to know what is ever said at halftime because it rarely works.1 user thanked author for this post.
“Yes the team isn’t the best at present but I wonder how they’d react to positive crowd getting behind them.”
Well here’s your answer to that question quoting Mark Lillis from the OWS:-
“The fans have been unbelievable this season.”
“Like I said after the game, it was unacceptable”Anything else you need help with?
our team isn’t the best at present, but I wonder what would happen if they let the shackles off and let them go out and attack teams for 90 minutes and TRY TO SCORE SOME GOALS instead of trying to contain the opponents hoping for a lucky break and do the impossible and try to keep a clean sheet.
True.
but we have gone from one extreme to the other over the last 3 and a bit seasons, the Chairman disappears from the media and I haven’t seen him about at home games either, so don’t know if he comes to games or not.but it doesn’t matter how much you dress it up UTI99 the club is a shambles, we haven’t scored more than one goal in a game in the last 14 games, we were promised attacking football this season but do to our usual injuries we have been playing with 5 at the back and our best young prospects either unused subs or not in the squad, yet loanees don’t seem to be of the quality of other clubs in the divisions loanees.
hence after a 4 game unbeaten run we leave our young guns out who had beat Tranmere to put players in the team who haven’t exactly set the place alight and we then play another midfielder out of position and leave our biggest goal threat on the bench and play a loan striker upfront who is 6 inches smaller than their central defence and again for around the 10th time this year we haven’t had a shot on target.
The difference BLT was we did our homework on them and had a game plan and set up to stop them scoring but I think they just came here to win the game.

When you set up like the away team in a home game and play a 5ft 8 in striker on his own upfront and our most liable goal scorer on the bench because you have been doing your homework on a certain player you can understand why we have only scored 4 goals.
At home it should have been Exeter doing there homework on us, I bet they never bothered.
Matt was going to move it the other week, same as sorting the joker, I will send him a message.

On iOS on the keyboard press the blue enter key and that saves it or it did for me, so possibly on Android it will as well, but doesn’t work on my laptop.

At the moment I am more worried about ours.

Words fail me.
it was like watching a Alan Knill team the way they passed it about across the back side to side going nowhere then hoofing it upfield to a striker who is small and up there on his own.
it took us over 75 minutes before we put any real pressure on their goal but that only last 2 minutes, there was no urgency in the play and too much tip tapping and losing it, we got out muscled all over the pitch and only 2 efforts on target and not sure whether the first was a cross or a shot, pathetic second half and now we are starting to concede a few we still haven’t sorted more than one in a game.
what happened to the 4 4 2 attacking football we still aren’t seeing it and pointless when you are 3 goals down.2 users thanked author for this post.
