    Assorted gripes

    Apart from this abysmal run we are in and far too many defeats there are a few things that are annoying me about the team as a whole.

    1. Why do we persist with the long throw in? nothing happens, highly unlikely that we will score from it and it's never going to work in this division.

    2. Why are all our corners just catching practice for the oppositions keeper? Why no short corner routines? Do we ever practice corners? I doubt it.

    3. Why when one of our players receives the ball on the ground they want to flick it up in the air? It's what kids do and all it does is give the opposition chance to nick the ball.

    4. Why can't we pass a ball 5 yards to one of our own men without it being off target or miss hit or too hard? Most of our opposition's chances this season have started by one of our players miss hit passes.

    5. Why do our midfielders lack the bravery to play a forward ball? In our team the two centre backs see more of the ball than any other player because the ball is continuously passed back to them.

    6. Why do we lose most of the 50/50 tackles? We seem to tackle whilst leaning backwards with no force in the tackle, just basically waving a leg at it.

    Just what do the team practice in the training sessions?

    Other than running not much else is in evidence.
