The fact is that if you play so many players out of position then things are never going to click. It seems only Jan Budtz is playing in the right position at the moment.

We're going to look back in twelve months time and look at Saturdays lineup and think; 'are we really that surprised we lost when you play players like Antwi, Gibbb, Moore and Barker'.

The midfield is currently the poorest we have had in a long time, there is zilch creativity there. Brownie is a fantastic player but his final delivery is poor, how many goals has he setup this season? He's the most natural striker we have yet he is stuck on the wing. Ali Gibb is sh*t and McCunnie and Boland are stupidly defensive.

As for Moore and Barker upfront- give me strength.

The new lad looks decent but I'd get him in the middle with Clarky and give Nelse a spell on the bench or play him upfront as he couldn't do any worse than Barker.

We need Monkhouse back desparately, when he is on fire the whole team is on fire (take Oldham as the clearest example of that).

Even that is debatable.

He's doing OK, he certainly can't be blamed for any of the recent defeats. Unlike the other numpties.

To be fair to Budtz he might play better if he ever gets a competent defence in front of him.

I've seen enough from him to be confident so I don't see why they shouldn't. Its not his fault they are sh*t.

I've thought that.

But the way that Nelson is playing the last few months maybe we had it the wrong way around?

I'm with TPP- drop Nelson and I reckon we'll get an improvement.

For fooks sake will you lot get it through your fookin thick skulls.

What is the fookin point of playing ali gibb on the wing when you have a forward line of Brown and Porter?

Gibb is there to supply crosses to the "Big man".

Thats all he does.

We need players like Brown and Monkhouse playinmg wide, who prefer to play the ball on the floor, and interchange with others.....pass and move.....lads.....pass and move.

Ali Gibb???????????? For fooks sake......... banghead

So you want Brown and Monkhouse out wide to supply the ball to Porter and Brown? stpid

I think that I can see a flaw in your plan.

I would however Nelson is still better than Antwi by a country mile despite his recent poor form.

I've no confidence in him at the moment and think that he needs the proverbial kick in the arse.

In my opinion the majority of goals scored against us lately have been down to Nelson. We need a proper change in the team,Nelson and Barker should be on the bench for a few games
