    Very true. We were great going forward but hindered by letting in too many sloppy goals. I remember the first thing Cotterill said when he came was that his priority was to ensure the other team don't score, once he got that right everything else started to fall into place.

    Yes that’s it. Clean sheets are what win titles and this is what Steve Cotteril knew. We became solid as a rock at the back. We had the spoilers and creativity in midfield and two men up top who could but the ball in the net with ease. That was the spine of the team.

    We don’t have a Kasper, Edwards or Lea this season. Instead it’s Fitz, Duffy and Brisley.

    The midfield of Bishop and Ravenhill are non existent in this team. Only Hewitt comes close as being a battler and spoiler.

    The strike force of Hughes and Rogers. Well you could say Dennis and Hemmings are this seasons equivalent on paper?

    That was the solid spine of that team

    We’ve not scored in two home games and have conceded 7 goals in the past two league games. Chances were created last night but we failed to capitalise. Missing a penalty summed it up. Then our powder puff defence crumbled time and time again. Over 20 shots by an away team is unacceptable.

    This seasons spine appears to be missing a couple of disks.
