Either Novak needs to camp himself in the 6 yard box or other need to join him. We've had 3 balls fly in there in the first half with no one waiting for them. Could easily have been 1 up at least.

Callum Cooke. Hit the bloody target.

Just not falling for us or not getting enough men in the box. Been the story of the game.

I thought we played pretty well. Some nice passing and link up play. Probably the most possession I've seen us have this season. Defenders never looked in any trouble. Problem is, when you've only got Novak upfront on his own, all those passes into the box need to be spot on. Cooke can't finish, and Sutton seems to be afraid to pull the trigger.

Satisfactory point, get a bit of a break now with the Morecambe game called off at the weekend, hopefully that helps rather than costs us momentum.
Had the chances to create the chances to win (written like that intentionally - because we didn't QUITE carve out the opportunities we needed).
Amazing how tight the defence is, just 2 conceded in 5 games, 1 and OG and 1 a deflection...
Not gonna lose many if that continues!Biker, Keefly Bantam and Offcomedun like this. -

Evans starting to look a bit like the player we hope he can be.

Dull game, but poor conditions. Another point towards safety glad this years over for so many reasons including the football, let’s hope 2021 is better in every way!

This was the first full game I've seen of the Sellars/Trueman era.
We are clearly much better organised with and without the ball, in this aspect we look like a different team to just a few weeks ago. It seems players know what is expected of them, and we actually function as a team.
The lack of quality is still glaring. I posted on here that I didn't think we had the personnel to play any particular system, I think that showed tonight,if we are going to advance up the table I think we lack players of sufficient quality in each of the 3 positions behind the striker, with more effectiveness in these roles we'd likely have got the points tonight.Keefly Bantam, Dennis and borderlescott like this. -

And also, it's not as though Hornby dived in to grab a ball from the forward's possession. It was a race to reach a through ball - Hornby got there first, diverted the ball and the forward arrived a split second later and fell over Hornby's arm. Unless we've turned football into a non-contact sport I can see nothing wrong with that challenge if he touched the ball, as the ref obviously believed he did.Allotment Bantam, WilsdenBantam and Park bantam like this. -

We're in that bit in the table now where a win won't affect the position that much in an upwards way but it pushes us clearer of the relegation spots.
Be interesting to see how we go against a team that won't necessarily be as attacking unlike Crawley, Cambridge, Tranmere who'd all been scoring goals and had goalscorers at the top of the charts.
I suspect what we'll see is we're lacking a bit of attacking pace/quality in the 3 roles that we have supporting Novak but let's hope I'm proven wrong!Inspector and JonButterfield like this. -
