After the match on Tuesday I was really looking forward to today, and seen as GH had commented how well we'd played in the last 20 mins at York I figured he'd put out a line up based on that. How the f*ck he's gone from that to starting with no wingers, Senior on the bench and Asa at left back is physically beyond me.
I'm really glad the fans are starting to get restless. While I know our clubs position as much as the next fan I really do feel we use the "we're a small club" excuse way too much. I love that we're run properly and that we're not in debt, but we're up in the conference and if we want to stay here we need to start making some massive changes, and start thinking "we're up here, we're going to stay and work towards mid-table". I'm not saying I expect us to finish mid-table; 5th from bottom will be fantastic, but we need to start thinking as a Conference club, not as a conference north club hitting above our weight.
As was said today by a few in the bar, we have a decent squad now, and it really is quite good; but when you leave your best players out, and play others out of position, it's just stupid and a recipe for disaster. No offence to Asa, he's played as well as he can in left back and pulled some great performances, but he's not a left back. I'd say our attacking position (and lack thereof) is more worrying than left back, but why sign a left back only to not play him?
I honestly think at home we have to attack and take the game to the opposition. We only ever do this when we're down, and it's just too late. In players like Senior, Logan and Potts we have speed, attack, and players who are innovative and willing to have a go.
I don't expect us to win the league, I don't expect us to be mid table - I think we'll go down. But at least try to f**king win a game at home.
Exactly. We
ALWAYS come out negative. No wonder attendence is dropping.
The only reason people get worked up is because we all love this club and want it to do well, and everyone has their own opinion on how that's done. I'm not a fan of coming on here and ranting, but I have never been as disappointed as when I heard the starting line up today.
That's my Karma f*cked...
