A load of flannel.

What is there that actually identifies why we're conceding goals? 'With the personnel we have we should be conceding less' - so, what? We're just going to do that are we? How exactly?

We'll find out against Histon, until then stop taking chunks out of him.

It is a load of flannel. What exactly will we find out against Histon? We beat them 3-0 at home last year and then conceded lots more throughout!

We'll learn sod all from Saturday. Histon will be in the bottom six this season, and that's being generous. We'll learn plenty next Tuesday at Gainsborough though. They've started badly too, and it could well be down to who shows the most character.

Indeed. Whilst it's essential that we beat Histon on Saturday let's not kid ourselves. They are going to be right down there and appear to have a tiny budget to match by all accounts. I want to see what happens when we play a top half outfit. Gainsborough beat us twice last season, that will be the true test as to if we can recover from our woeful start to the season.

If we conceed 3 then we will have found out that we are genuine strugglers this season unless there are major changes.

What we know already is that nothing major has changed so far this season from last. And that's the biggest gutter for me.

Three possible results

we lose - game ends in plenty for verbals for Lee. This forum goes into heart attack mode.  More strain in the dressing room and less confidence. A heavy defeat coupled with an overall poor performance could be it for Lee.

we draw - depends if it's a goalless draw.  If we keep a clean sheet Lee can legitimately claim an improvement at the back at least.  A 3-3 draw and we're not really any further forward are we.

we win - everyone goes home happier than they did after Chester. A win coupled with a clean sheet and maybe we can look forward a bit more.

I'm not sure where this post is going to be honest!


COME ON ALTY FOR FECKS SAKE COME ON.

Title: Re: Sinnott confident of Robins' recovery
Post by: markecky on August 29, 2012, 10:35:04 PM
We need a win to boost our confidence and try and start a run and get some consistency.

A win against Histon will not suddenly make everything OK but its a start and all we can do at the moment.  The confidence from a win against Histon may get us something at Gainsborough.

We played better against Chester and showed some signs of our good forward play from last year.  With Clee that will only increase (unless he plays at left back which surely he just can't).

I love Alty TV but it allows you to analyse every goal and see every player that should have closed down or pick holes in every goal.  I've just watched a Barcelona centre half defend like that dick from Alfreton we had last year.

If Twitter is to be believed, Havern was unhappy with his own performance at the weekend and is determined to improve. Let's hope he and the rest of the backline sort themselves out, develop that understanding and start to look a lot more solid. If we can get a couple of good results in these next two we'll all feel a lot better. Then we can take a big following to Oxford on a bit of a high and start to get ourselves on a bit of a roll.

I genuinely believe we have the personnel to do well in this league. Maybe one more midfielder would be good and another striker if we're being really greedy. But all things considered, we should be the type of team that can pull out a couple of six match unbeaten runs without it being a surprise.

Come on Lee. Most sane people want to give you a chance. Whip these lads into shape and get us up that table.

This really is the crux of the matter.

In Lee Sinnott's term as Alty's manager to date, the longest unbeaten run that we have managed to compile has comprised four games.
There have simply been too many false dawns.

After our disappointing opening to the campaign, it really is time to improve on that statistic.

Please, can we stop pussyfooting around; eliminate the recurrent defensive clangers and then remain unbeaten throughout the entire month of September, which comprises five league fixtures and that all-important FA Cup tie?

It would do wonders for Mr Sinnott's credibility and, who knows, perhaps even those currently sceptical supporters would begin to share Banbury Alty's optimism regarding our prospects?

I share his optimism to be honest.

I will however be concerned if we are bottom half of the table come Christmas.

Until then I will see what happens and wont be calling for the managers head which would involve contract payments that the club can ill afford.

We have the players, we have the manager, we just need to do it.

We are all frustrated I know that but continued arguing and sniping at the manager and players will only make the situation worse as pressure continues to mount.

Personally I think we have played two promotion pushing sides and improved our result from last year against harrogate. Cant remember the Vauxhall game but I think we got beat last year?

We drew 2-2 at Vauxhall Motors last season.

Also, I'm not sure that Lee Sinnott is actually working under a contract.
Would anyone care to verify this?

Yeah, I watched Barcelona defend like us last night as well. I thought exactly the same thing.

I'm not taking any team or any decent result in this league lightly, just that to say a win against Histon would not alieviate all the concerns I have. We beat them twice last year and it did nothing for us. I want to see more solidity though. We won't be anywhere near the bottom half in a bit though.

no you are thinking of his two year plan, however just like this plan, as far as I know his contract is non-existant.

I think Heathcote was on a contract and worked full time, but Lee is part time and isn't on contract.
