[Saughall Robin]

Some on here had said that it was a good thing that the scoring was being shared around.
The other point of course is that as long as we're scoring three, letting in two was not a problem.
With all the disruption due to injury and covid, the scoring has dried up and the focus has shifted towards the defence and lack of clean sheets.

[distancetraveller]

We need to start better. Every game of late we concede early then put ourselves behind the eight ball, consequently putting even more pressure on the strikers to score.

[One Foot in the Grave]

In truth the lack of goals by the strike force has been the forefront of posts on here over recent times.

A pity the same cannot be said of the number conceded..

Food for thought.

A very salient point Ray. It hasn't helped that, for various reasons, we've hardly fielded the same defence in more than two consecutive games this season.

You make a very good point, we once could pick the team on here and pretty much get it correct. Consistency is the route to a balanced team who can gel together thus playing well. There is far too much change these days. Granted some is enforced. I believe we have used some 40 odd players this season.

Interview from Toby

Honest interview and hopefully Toby is correct in what he's saying that we can turn it around.

0 wins in 10 in the league and 1 in 16. SIXTEEN!!

But it’s ok because we’ve got 2 of the bottom 3 coming up. It’s so far from being acceptable it’s beyond belief!

But are we good enough to beat those 2 of the bottom 3 ?

[Saughall Robin]

Of course we are.
If we play with belief (yes, I know) we are certainly capable of doing that and securing our place up here for next year.
The big question of course is what changes we make to the squad in the close season and whether we can chance going hybrid and improving our target pool of players to make us truly competitive.
I mean that's another point. Given the current squad are aware of those plans, is it having an effect on their motivation?
The next few months are vital for us.

Top marks to the media team. Calls on here for player interviews and one appears after the next game. Well done!

Was just about to post something similar. Completely agree, cheers Brian.

[cheshire cat]

I've just watched the highlights. We could have done better with ten men.

[Salfordalty]

For me we have to beat Weymouth kings Lynne and Dover and we will stay up . If we don't it could be heartbreak for us

We all know we are going to be the only team that dover beat all season.

Worrying times at the moment. On current form we won't beat anyone in this league.

Update from Phil after defeat.

You can see he's fuming in the interview over the errors, I'm not going to bang on, he's correct in the fact that we need to cut the errors out and stay switched on. Let's hope we have a good few sessions this week and improved performance at Solihull.

[MadFrankie]

Let's hope we have a good few sessions this week and improved performance at Solihull.

Hearing that Tom's out for a couple of weeks doesn't fill me with confidence for Solihull. I'm still going, but in hope rather than expectation.

[robininstockport]

If Hannigan is out I'd play moult at cb and Osbourne and marriot as the 2 cdms assuming we go 4-2-3-1
