The Poolie Bunker

Lots of debate about players playing out of position and the best striking partnership
we have available. Without wanting to critisise anyone i still believe we dont have the
strength upfront to compliment the potential goalscorers we we already have at the
club. Not easy to find but i think if we address this issue we have the people to put
the ball away.

Oh if only.

Whats the question though ??????

The question is why do our side constantly look like they have the physical presence of a bunch of 11 year olds whenever they come up against anything close to a decent league one side?

Not really true that though is it? We should have beaten Huddersfield in August but Nish missed a sitter and they haven't lost since the War. Last year we beat Brighton and Peterborough then pushed Southampton all the way at the Vic being the better side in a 0-0. Three Championship sides now. We also beat Charlton. We were also the last team to win at Huddersfield.

We come unstuck when the onus is on us to attack against teams we are expected to beat at home. Most notably when we go behind, we cannot chase a game at home. Not enough pace in just about every area. A team like Tranmere who until they scored weren't that bothered about scoring until they did all of a sudden expose us on the break.

Spot on PJ. Tranmere and Wycombe were cannon fodder there for the taking. We fire blanks at them from an unbalanced gun.
