Negative Ned wrote:Even though we have played possibly the two worst teams in the division we are already recording less than a point per game. Early days some will claim but others are now realising what has been patently obvious since pre season that we lack quality and pace throughout the squad. Today we were the worst of 2 poor teams until the last 15 mins yet prior to the game the zealots were predicting we would win based on a previous rearguard action from the previous week which was seen by management as an excellent performance against an inspired team. What a load of bollocks we made Barnet look good and please note that despite receiving rave reviews from our management last week Barnet lost again today. You will recall when we got stuffed by Notts Forest the management stated it was not that we were a poor team but that Forest were a top level team full of class; again bollocks as Forest are a poor team having a dreadfull season and getting all sorts of stick from their fans.
I am sorry but the problems are as follows:- we get absolutely nothing from the current fullbacks, the centre backs are iffy and the midfielders do not have the ability and pace (Stanley apart). There is a general lack of movement and natural speed of thought throughout the team which Mark Lillis can do nothing about. Every match we play in starts the same in that for the bulk of the first 20 mins we are defending and have difficulty playing our way into the opponents box and have to revert to our hit and hope balls. Interesting selection of Twiss as I overheard the club sec telling some people that Twiss has not impressed in the reserves and neither has the loan signing and as such could not understand why he was signed.
A word of caution for those who believe we are not in any danger of relegation and can use this season for the likes of Mcann, Parish and Carr to gain an extra yard of pace and a bucketfull more of ability! The 3 teams on minus points have already set their targets which could see at least 2 of them passing us especially if we only get 39 points. Can anyone see where the next win is coming from or am I being too negative?

Few questions of you dont mind answering them
Were you at Barnet?
why did you think we were able to overcome shrewsbury a fortnight ago?
How come you were in such close proximity to the club sec thought he stayed in the office?
Are you saying Craig Stanley is the best midfield player at this club?
With only 282 from Grimsby what do you attribute to the increased gate from the home crowd today?
do you mind telling me if youre a season ticket holder at all?
What is it that draws you back to watch us?
cheers sean

One of the things Ned got right is that Craig Stanley is head and shoulders our best midfielder.

Here he makes more measured observations and, as usual, at least gives his reasons for his comments.
While I don't quite share his opinions on all the individual players the one thing I will pick up on from this thread (which, again, has prompted good debate) is our general lack of forward momentum.
It seems that our fullbacks are too keen to pass sideways or lump it upfield. Our midfielders, too, seem to want to get rid of the ball as soon as they gain possession. Drummy and Garry both had positions on Saturday when they could have taken the ball ten yards forward before even thinking of having to pass but chose, instead, to stop, have a look, hold onto it, then (too often) pass sideways. Then stand still, their job apparently done.
Compare with Till (or Saunders for Daggers) who got the ball, drove forward ten yards THEN looked for the pass, before looking to get on the end of a one-two (or at least looking to get a return in a forward position).
That's what Stanners, I hope, will give us when he starts his prolonged run in the side this Saturday.
If we can reintroduce that single element I think it will make a massive difference to our performances and players whom we are currently debating in a negative way may start to take on a different look.

You seem very confident of that

I am - but I did say 'I hope'. I hope he starts and I hope it's a long run because he plays well enough to make it so.
