Vertu Trophy draw (now with Poll)

That reverse pass to Sars was bang on the money. Though he appeared 1 cm offside. Do we have a player here?

 

I'm nursing a big bruised kneecap, after jumping up and down after Bobby's goal. Bashed my knee on row 18 in front of me. At least I found somebody's i-phone on the floor, who was probably also jumping up and down.

A good away trip but still trying to get time-clocks onside. Got back Bingley at 01:40 and then went home to watch recording of the match. Bedtime about 04:30.

Now for winning League 2.

 

He should get a start regardless imo. He was in the shirt in the last league game and he performed very well so given Kavanagh has been indifferent for me it would be very harsh not to start him.

 

It is but most of them he created himself and at least got a shot away. That's still levels above anything Kavanagh has achieved.

He also hasn't played that much football this season so I think we can accept the fact that he'll need game time to find that sharpness.

 

Early days yet but needs to sharpen up in front of goal. Can't keep missing those sort of chances or else its pointless being here.

 

Walsall aside, we have struggled to score goals. We have beaten Morecombe, Harrogate and Accrington 1-0. 3 very poor sides. The only decent side Wimbledon beat us 1-0 and the in form team Newport was 0-0.

We are struggling for goals but obviously you cannot see that. GA wanted another and the reason was he knows Mellon and Kavanagh are not enough.

Having one sat on the sidelines is healthy.

 

By The Way:

I would never mock or cheer somebody being stretchered off, just like I would never mock lives lost in a fire.

I tried to clap Jay Stansfield being carried off but my gloved hands so far from the half-way line didn't really carry.

I guess not many around me agreed. It's still a sport, with people just trying to ply their trade without getting hurt.

 

I thought that was more down to poor recruitment than the fault of the owners? They backed them and spend money on the players they were asked to buy. People often complain about owners getting too involved in the footballing side of things but it seems to me, from the outside, that the owner has put his trust in Abbott and co, who clearly are not up to the job

 

Spot on, they seem to loyal to failures.

The head of recruitment/director of football role is so vital these days, despite some on here thinking it wasn’t needed look at our up turn since Sharpe came. Infrastructure and accountability is as important as anything in modern day sport.

 

Indeed the build up and the execution when sars actually bent the foreward pass to bobby was superb

 

Surely your not winging at that! Healthy goal return since Christmas I'd say.
Be happy to keep these 1-0' going

 

I think Keef was talking about the pass from Mellon to Sarcevic at Newport for the disallowed “Offside “ goal!

 

That's my point Dimitri. Surely they must have sussed out ages ago that Abbott's record in recruitment is very poor.

They have employed incompetent managers too, so the blame lies squarely at the owners, just as we blame Rupp for our decline in the last 7 years or so

 

But 4 goals in 6 games is still a concern whichever way you dress it up. Especially considering the amount of clear cut chances in those games is also incredibly low.

Of course everyone is delighted by the points total but I'm absolutely certain GA will still be looking tweak things to try and improve on those offensive numbers somehow.

 

Im glad it’s not just me in believing Russ has a gigantic part to play with recruitment , for good and mostly bad over many years at the club. Yet he never gets a mention of responsibility on their forum. I find it oh so strange. .

 

Thanks Kev, thats another senior moment, seem to be having a few of late

 

Cracking view of Bobbys goal and the raw emotion of Jamie walker. Who says he doesn’t care.

 

It certainly was healthy, maybe not as much now. We switched to the newer setup and goals came in with 10 scored in the first 4 games of the system.

However now teams have some tape to scout on our tactic and have plans to defend against it, things are drying up slightly with 5 goals scored in our last 7 games. Not an issue yet, but now teams have a bit more knowledge on how to defend against us, we aren't seeing as many clear cut chances as we were a month ago. Strikers need to step up now.

 

Hey , It’s daily at this end !
