    The irony in you telling someone they’re talking bollocks is just to much, my sides are splitting here.

    What evidence has Bowyer given to give you the impression of him being an attacking/positive manager? In regards to your earlier point. I don't expect us to be rolling teams over. However, I expect us to be on the front foot and play at a decent tempo to take it to opposition teams when we are clear favourites.

    We often have more clear goal scoring opportunities than the opponents for one, I can only think of Crewe and Plymouth where we haven’t. But maybe everyone in this league is just negative.:thumbup:

    I'd say 90% do park the bus against us and are classed as negative but we make it easy to defend against by long balls and no urgency or tempo. Newport had no quality and seemed very sluggish at the back. If we would've moved the ball quickly on the deck and played with proper wingers and through the lines we would've walked all over them. Goals breed confidence and I think there is goals in this team if played to their strengths.

    We’re 4th division garbage and are playing like it, I’ve never seen us play the way you want at this level. Plus our wingers aren’t very good, they’ve had plenty of opportunities to cross and either over hit, kept the ball to long or not even beat the first man.

    Can't say I agree. Think we've looked our best when getting the ball to Connolly and Ismail early in the attacking 3rd. The full backs runs has disappointed me most about this team. Wood has started to get forward more but we are seriously lacking down the right hand side a lack of overlapping runs is alarming. Allows teams to stay narrow and crowd the box. Doesn't make too much of a difference though as there's only ever one target in there at any time.

    The overlapping point is a good one. Henley does it now and then but I've noticed wood is very reluctant to, clearly under instruction as his natural game is to attack. That's a bemusing one considering he's by far our best crosser of the ball.

    Even under Parky, meredith and darby used to overlap the wingers.

    Yeah the Wood one is baffling. Should literally be playing as a left winger and flooding the box. Genuine quality crossers are rare at this level and wasting his talents stood 50 yards from goal.

    Well Wood has been our last line of defence on numerous occasions this season, and unlike last season, he's done an excellent job most games. Perhaps he has been so good defensively as Bowyer has instructed him to work specifically on his defensive abilities.

    However, I would certainly encourage Wood to cross often, even from a deep position, as his delivery is excellent.

    Then he’s failed, obviously. Didn’t have you down as a defeatist Fordy, keep the faith.

    To be honest I thought the same. Maybe his last ditch defending has counted against him in a way as Bowyer values that more than his attacking play.
