“Granty ,after your lengthy appraisal of the attacking options,have you a few more words left to consider the outcome if the opposition suss out our leaden footed central defence and docile midfield ,this would result in all the good work upfront being nullified.These two deficiences are dictating our style of play as you will know.”

“Good comments granty, always good to read valid opinions about the footy rather some daft comment about how much you write!!”

“Hey Mr X no I haven't! but thank you for giving me one more word I could add to my opinions.
Question answered Mr X, now my turn, have you ever heard of the phrase regular username or maybe regular poster, you see I'm happy to leave my opinions on show and those who know who I am often discuss those with me but Mr X behind the curtain I don't really see your point, particularly on the match in question.
Good Morning :0”

“We are once again a lightweight team in midfield, we will be stronger at the back when Rob Atkinson returns.
We are not playing well but picking up points which shows what a poor league it is.
Luton is already looking a big game, a win against them would be massive result.”

“Granty, have you heard of the word "precis"?”

“How on earth can the GET match reporter give Connell the man of the match above Croudson? All right, Connell scored both goals, one of which was a penalty that i can not think any other ref would have given , but Croudson kept us in the game time and time again thanks to our woeful defending. Good grief, even Radio Humberside gave Steve the man of the match award. Connell did what he is suppose to do, Croudson went way beyond that, not having played first team football for 5 or 6 years. Well done Steve Croudson.”

“I agree Barry we have some very important players out. It is early days yet but the way I see it so far is that Connell, Ademeno, Bore & Peacock are the attacking core of this team, IMO if they are all fit and playing in advanced positions we'll be a real threat to anyone in this league, Charles got injured in the match and Bore is still out so we struggled to create any clear cut chances.
Early on we had a lot of shots which were mostly off target but a couple of Connells were very good though still they're not clear chances.
I liked the way town came out with a shoot on sight policy they could have easily caught the keeper cold but we have to hit the target with power and have players committing to get on the end of any rebound, that's all well and good for the first ten minutes but if it fails we have to be able to create and the only real clear chance I can think of is Connells second goal, did we really create our only chance inside the area on about 90 minutes?
That's not good enough!
In the week I listened to the match on the radio and the commentators talked Gobern up and put Samuel down. today I thought exactly the opposite, Gobern was largely ineffective and Samuel did better, as he did against Hayes with Bore in front of him. Gobern comes with a huge reputation for this level and he is rated by the fans of the clubs he was at previously but on yesterdays showing I felt that Bore would have been far better if available, he's a little better at going past players but the key for me is his composure, Gobern doesn't even look up when he crosses? so many players do that? but hit and hope hoofball is gonna get us nowhere, passes have to be drilled into the box onto the feet of our players in there, everything seems to be airborne and we rarely look dangerous from these, fair enough Connell can head and so can Peacock but our threat seems to be with the ball on the floor and we should at least mix it up a bit.
I didn't think Peacock had his best game yesterday, I know he was ill last week and his work rate had dropped (compared to normal), he wasn't really that involved but then we didn't do much up front so that may be why, the reason for that IMO again lies with the Midfield pairing, they were yet again anonymous throughout the game, no shots, no creativity, I really think when you have two midfielders who can't get a grip and a player like Lee up front who isn't getting the ball that he should be dropped back in there!, everyone knows he is the best ball winner we have and he can create.
Finally I have to point out again that whenever Bore doesn't play this team seem to struggle in attack, I think through pre season and the beginning of the season we had 4 wins out of 6 with him on the wing, given Towns recent record of winning football matches that is no coincident, Peter Bore is the most Direct and composed player we have, he's also far better at going past players and running with the ball than anyone else and I dare say only Connell in our whole squad has a better shot than him, he is our most complete attacking player and the stats don't lie, he received the player of the year last season for his attacking displays from right back and he's easily been one of the best again so far this season but when he doesn't play we seem to invite pressure and sit back too much, I do think Gobern deserves more chance because I know he has that attacking ability but my gut feeling tells me that Bore on the right wing or even up front is our best route to success this year, His attributes and the things he is best at are why I believe that - he can pick out players in the box with ease, yep creativity, thats what this team lacked on Monday and so often, he has a great shot on him and if those two options aren't on then he can run it in there! hopefull when he's fit even if he is wasted at right back we'll see a better attacking performance.

As for Woods he does deserve longer, he has had this team playing”

“Enjoyed watching young tom corner play. movement was good his conrol at times excerlent and awarness of his fellow team mates good. I think better thing will come from this lad in the future if he gets a long run in the team. However our back for frightens me we look shaky and boy can our central defenders boot the ball skyward well. when they played on the deck the town played a lot better. Of the match, three points is three points and leave it at that.”

“Is Will, gy a pseudonym of Woodsy? Yes - we are playing badly but we can't get rid of Woods? Do me a favour! We are ALREADY 3 point off the top. We are playing very badly and
some of the defending has to be seen to be believed and the number of goals on the "For" column is pathetic. They don't even get the basics right. What the hell do they do in training? Scraping a win against Histon with a dubious penalty does not strike me as the solid rock on which to build a successful promotion campaign., Some of these commentators seem happy to be Blue Square also rans. Well I'm not.”

“We maybe 3 points off the top but how many times this season have we played well? My concern is that we continue not to play well, how long do we leave it ? We have a really good team with some cracking players yet we don't play well regularly. Good managers will get the best out of players and a prime exampleis harry redknapp at Spurs. Look what he did with the same group of players left him by Ramos or Pardew at Southampton in his first season. That is what being a Manager is all about and dare I even mention Russel Slade at Leyton Orient. Neil is just not management material unfortunately. I would love him to prove me wrong, but I just don't see it.”
