He is deluded.

We looked poor up front as usual and I never had any confidence we were going to score.

As the home team we should be putting the opposition under much more pressure and creat far more chances just like happens to us away from home.

We continue to be too negative, sit too deep, no one really in the box when we go forward and leave no one up when we defend a corner even when 1 - 0 down!

Very worried unless quality comes in during the window and ideally Thomas stays and gets fit immediately after the window closes.

Don't think many people can argue with this. We didn't look like scoring all day and when we went 1-0 down there was no chance we would win the game. Same old shit.

Plenty of effort today but it was all huff and puff with no end product. As said we really didn't carve out one decent chance.

You mean the chance that came from a mistake by their defender? We didn't exactly carve them open for that amond chance.

He also took the shot very early as was in front of last man once he had got to it

We were the better football team by a significant distance but play nice triangles and rolling the ball out from the keeper doesn't get you points in League Two. It was massively frustrating to see us lose 1-0 at home to an awful side again but we need a find a balance. We are way too nice and we obviously lack a cutting edge if we can't score against a team with Andrew Boyce in it. Massively frustrating.

Have a mentioned that it was massively frustrating?

By the way a sign of how bad this League is, how the fuck is Omar Bogle one the top scorers in it? He's brutal, no first touch or awareness just a big unit. But Hignett could maybe learn from that in terms of needing a certain type of player and a balance at this level.

The keeper was very impressive indeed I didn't believe it when someone said he was 19. He commanded his area. He reminded me of when we had Jake Kean on loan.

But reading the Grimsby managers comments are interesting, he thinks they can learn loads of lessons from us in terms of being of the possession of the ball!! So even he thinks we were the better team.

I didn't think it was a bad game to be honest, a bit of atmosphere and niggle about it as well.

I wasn't there yesterday, work called. But.... it's getting to the stage where defeat came as no real surprise. We're at the stage in the season where any promise and possession has to be turned into goals. Opposing managers praise in defeat is nice, but scant consolation.

I'm with you on this Chip.
We were a much better side, the biggest problem is we don't have a cutting edge. I also don't go for this Woods being shite as others have mentioned, Woods is prepared to play quick balls round the corner but we just don't have the players who are mentally and physically quick enough to anticipate. We have missed the pace of Thomas, no doubt about it. Once he is back we will have that ability to break out of defence quickly and threaten instead of the slow ponderous way we do at the moment. Once Thomas is driving at defenders as we have seen before he was injured, we are a serious threat.
On the midfield yesterday I thought featherstone looked slow, tired and didn't really put a shift in.

"Woods is prepared to play quick balls round the corner ....."

A lot of the time he doesn't appear to look before he does so, which I thought was perhaps his failing. But if he does that regularly in training, then surely in the 3 years he's been here the coaching staff should have shown the other players what they should be anticipating from him. The same goes for their analysis of match day dvd's.
