    Oversimplified version of parking the bus

    Parking the bus just means men behind the ball at all times not that you aren't allowed to lump the ball forward to an isolated striker come on

    You and @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart appear to be describing a tactic where you aren't allowed to attack and you're hoping not to win that's not a tactic lol nobody sets up to never attack and hope not to score come on guys haha

    Those guys are saying 'if you park the bus you aren't allowed to attack', actually you are allowed to attack but often in limited numbers and with very direct play which is exactly what we did today

    We parked the bus frustrated Swindon and hit them with very direct play

    Point is you can park the bus and still attack there is no such thing as a tactic where you aren't allowed to attack that only happens if you're nowhere near as good as the opposition

    Spot on again, Park

    Morecambe also had a terrible run - I think it was something like 2 wins in 14, around this time last season

    He didn't play Sutton for long enough, the fans were crying out for him becuase we had no drive from midfield. Hardly getting the best out of him.

    Delighted for Lavery and Robinson who have had to wait for a chance and have taken it, Both offer something different with Lavary a box player and Robinson a more all round attacker both give Cook more to work with,
    they just need games now to hone it with each other

    Been playing more as a winger has Lavery but you can see his instincts on display today

    You pick up on my use of the word "hate" like I should go to prison - you always deflect away from your awful level of argument. You're all statement and no substance. It's boring. No intelligence to it.

    You put something in quotes and italics like it's supposed to mean something. :joy::joy:

    You're now introducing new aspects of "hardly had our first choice central midfield on a consistent basis" to further cloud your thin argument even though you can't go back to substantiate previous points.

    You have made unsubstantiated statements because you said "Gilliead was key to our first half performance against Bristol Rovers" but you've provided no examples of anything he did even though I asked you FOUR times now.

    Your comment "It detracts from your rather unintelligent 'black and white' comments about "inconsistently poor" Gilliead is" is nonsense. You told me to check what you said. You can't even quote me properly. :joy::joy::joy:

    That's makes you a WUM because you're saying things but have nothing to back it up.

    Cry me a river... :joy::joy::joy::joy:

    @banbrotam@banbrotam - let's be having you. Oh great dodger of a question!!!

    I bring to you SIX examples where you have failed to answer a simple question - What did Alex Gilliead do in the Bristol Rovers game that made him a key part of us dominating the first half because that's what you said. He was integral to us being all over them.

    Come on. Or just admit you're a WUM.

    Correct. No reason why that can't be used at home - particularly when you consider Cooke should be available for future matches

    Ignore the possession stats. It was ALL sideways and backwards in the majority of the first half and all over the 2/3 of the field in the second , but final third….cluless! Because defensively we were excellent.

    You've given no examples. That's my point.

    Just a WUM who comes on here with random statements to wind everyone up.

    Your deflection tactics, would make Boris Johnson proud of you. I've explained why I haven't given your the food your are so desperate for.

    Imagine I sucede to your wish. All you'd do is argue that didn't prove he was any good as it hasn't resulted in a goal.

    I admire you for throwing in that question as it distracted from your harsh writing off of Gilliead when he was busy having one of his more effective games.

    Bye for now!!
