    If that's the case, it really is a crisis!

    We've only played one midfielder at the back in Songo'o. Threlkeld was signed primarily as a specialist right back despite him playing in midfield at Salford.

    Maybe so though I'm struggling to think of greater footballing assets at the club. But what can we do to change it.

    It's a game, that's all.

    If I'm being honest, I'm struggling too. I guess it's a case of "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king".

    Sparks is not to blame for this so called crisis. The club is moving forward off field and on the field he brought in what was regarded as the best man for the job. The fooballing side of the club has been run since the summer and before by the manager wh claimed he was happy with the budget and the squad he put together. The budget set by the owner is probably not the best in the division neither is it the worst. Now some people think if the manager speaks bluntly he is the bees knees he isn’t he failed to bring the striker he wanted with him and couldn’t bring another back up to Angol who he brought in who is decent but always out injured. He is right the teams he is picking is to soft and unbalanced so do something about it

    I do think that we would be coached in the basics better given our lack of quality. Injuries apart, it is surely obvious that we need to, at the very least, counter the opposition's strengths because it seems as if we are clueless in what to expect. Given we have what we have, I would expect our staff to plan accordingly in a professional way and employ a system that makes even us, difficult to make headway against. Surely tighter marking and awareness of where teams are hurting us. A pattern is emerging whilst maybe to some not a crisis as such, our league position is in jeopardy and we quickly need to find a way of hanging in and becoming tough to play against until we take stock in January.We don't need to be world beating but less naive.
