We're not very good at football

Great analysis - well worth a new thread at the top of the forum.

Here's my analysis - hopefully in a month or two we'll be quite good, with (a) actual defensive players in the team, (b) time to settle into new tactics and systems.

OP is makes a good case for there to be a fee if you want to start a new thread.

Dont go giving the owners any ideas,this forum is like the NHS free at the point of use.

Not the team or managers fault. We can only play with what we got. Is it the owners fault for not releasing money or the EFL threat of more penalising action hanging over us due to a 2-3 year old points penalty for not paying on time.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Don't think we are totally shit, just lacking leaders, defenders of a certain ability and a tactical game plan from the manager that gets best out of this squad. Apart from that we are fine.

The biggest miss at the moment is Arblaster - firstly for his ability and the fact he is box to box, secondly for a bit of leadership (even from a youngster, but he gives us that connection).

Back up; Davies, Seriki, New CB, McAllum, Peck, OHare, Brooks, Cannon, One

Gives us half a chance with current tactics.

Arblaster is a HUGE miss. He's key to this formation working in my eyes. He's our version of Declan Rice.

Isn’t that the reason we love this club so much….Or is it just me?

Correct, even our goal was lucky, Hamer was obviously looking just to launch it forward, how lucky can you get

No old gits discount. My industrial descale seems to cost more every time I go in.

I think it’s a good point well made

 

[blade too long]

it is going to take time, a few bits that were a hard watch last night but at least looks like slowly we are pulling the right pieces into the jigsaw,

im usually very positive , a proper happy clapper

but what did you see improving last night

if we had lost 6-1 we would have no case to complain
1 touch in the opposition box borders on being disastrous

last season there were plenty complaining we kept winning but it was dull

what Id give to be that dull,, football is about winning, 90 points is a lot of winning
they can bore me stiff as long as we win

but to bore me stiff and to be abysmal is not a good look

 

[Houston_Blade]

Hamer, Cooper, Burrows, Campbell, O'Hare... be happy with any of them having the armband

Apart from Cooper what about the last 30 mins of games?

What, in terms of being taken off? Burrows has and can play a full 90, as can Hamer, as can O'Hare...

Someone should have told Wilder! I agree though, Burrows generally did.

If we get into the whole "somebody should have told Wilder" we'll be here a while

Are you talking about you and your mates on park with jumpers for goal posts ??

I’m sure you aren’t that bad

Spot on, the 1 touch in the opponent box was just abarasing and agree we might not have been the most entertaining last year but was a much better feel around it all and you did not worry every time the other team had the ball, which is currently were we are at which is just a night and day turn around from last year!

 

[Keen Blade]

Is that all?

Enough for me

 

[Keen Blade]

Shilton, Neuer, Zoff, Buffon, Kahn, Schmeichel (both).

Edit: in fact, I'd go as far as to say that Cooper's brand of quiet competence and professionalism is EXACTLY what we need in a captain.

Yes but in midfield where he can talk to most of his colleagues as the game goes on

 

[Youngand70]

To bloody true the situation with the lack of NHS dentists is a disgrace and the money we are expected to pay is also a joke.

I think he’s going to see plenty of his teammates this season where he is
