What is up with our goalkeeper, since coming back into the side after the Bulman loan he has got better and better?

We definitely need more firepower to take the pressure off Griff, a fox in the box type and one with pace.

We need a good centre half as well to partner Tindle

The problem with the goalkeeper is that his positioning at crosses is poor, he was at fault for yesteray's goal when he didn't come for the cross or get across to his post to block the effort. His temperant is that of a hot head and there's times when his distribution is rushed and we lose poession either through the ball being lost or a set piece being given away.

However he is a good shot stopper just think that Collier would like a more level headed goalkeeper who can be more encouraging to his defenders than Johns can. Guess we'll find out next season.
 

Hmm interesting thought needing wide men. On the evidence of Saturday's game the wings were wide open spaces so if the wide men we have got aren't played out wide why do we need more wide players????. Accept Guthrie wasn't playing but Mc Clelland was all over the pitch and hardly ever out wide. He is so much more effective taking on players and running down the wing than getting bogged out chasing the ball in the middle of the pitch. But that's been the case for the last few games and noticed a few times on Saturday when a midfield player got the ball looked out wide ready to pass the ball and noone in sight.Can't understand the tactics when you cram everyone in the middle third of the pitch.

Newfan wasn't just Saturday, we've been playing with evryone filling the centre of the pitch for the last few games.To me having all your mid field players all crammed in one area of the field doesn't leave you many passing options. And how many times on Saturday did you see a ball passed out wide but noone there to receive the pass.

Corner flag I think you should be our next manager, your knowledge is sublime. Only problem would be getting you out of the pie shop at half time. By the way I've bought you some chestnut brown hair dye, not sure ginger suits you. I'll see you in the clubhouse next week.

Love you too Astro, lol
