[Bear Town Robin]

Why is it we give the opposition far too much space and time on the ball? get a challenge in or close them down like you bloody mean it.

Talking to a Crewe fan at work he says that Dario likes his teams to "intercept" rather than "tackle". That's bollocks and I hope we're not adopting this approach! Get amongst them and let them know they're in a game.

Also, why is it when a ball is lofted in the air, and is going straight to an unmarked opposition player, no one makes a challenge? Quite often from a goal kick or hopeful hoof upfield all players are facing the ball and an unmarked oppostion player is allowed to head it or bring it down unchallenged. more often than not one of our players is within a couple of strides of and facing him and yet no challenge. When you realise it's not quite going to reach you...go and get it!

We are certainly lacking the fighting spirit we had the last 2 seasons and it's costing us.

Take a look at the photo on the website from todays game - 4 york players shown and 8 Alty playerss all grouped in the middle.

It is no wonder we have no one free to pass out to when we have the ball.
