Match Thread vs. Tamworth 16.10.21 (FACQR4]

[KCNotts]

I went today and it was utter garbage. Worst squad than last season

Interesting that you mentioned squad. That really was the extent of our squad today wasn't it? Who else could we have brought in? Knight, Lacey, JOB?

The manager cleary doesn't fancy Vincent (who is this season's Wolfe) so where does he turn to change things? The same under performing players will continue to play each week. Only Rodders is in any sort of form.

Marine Fc (NL step 4) 1 Wrexham 1
Pontefract Colleries (step 4) 0 Halifax 0
Tamworth (step 3) 0. Notts 0

We aren't the only ones!

Don’t know the steps but also:

Bowers and Pitsea 2 Aldershot 1
Dover 1 Yate Town 1
Eastleigh 3 Folkestone Invicta 3 (I think this was 0-3 at one point?
Horsham 1 Woking 0
Torquay 2 Havant and Waterlooville 2

A lot of National League clubs will have disappointed fans this evening.

Stamford 0 Stockport 3

Bromsgrove 0 Grimsby 5

Curzon 0 Chesterfield 4

And?

My point is that Halifax and Wrexham results are arguably worse than ours.

I was waiting for you or someone else to post this. I guess some of us want to look for a positive while others prefer the negative.

Mitchell garbage, Taylor garbage, Sam just slightly better garbage, Roberts, a shadow of his former self, Francis lightweight, MOTM, take your pick from Rodrigues, Palmer or Nemanine all excellent today, Ian Burchnall = sleepy Joe

Comfidence makes a huge difference, a win in the replay "could" be what we need.

Not at all. As I posted elsewhere it’s a continuation of the poor performances before the two copitulations (and then a win away at Yeovil). You can bury your head in the sand, or put your hands over your ears but the performances haven’t been good enough and we’ve been lucky in some games. Hopefully we can play football against the leading teams in games coming up and get some results but don’t kid yourself that all’s well, try a bit of balance on both sides. Which game this season do you think has been our best performance besides Barnet?

[crazyfists]

I think we try to play pretty football rather than good football. I think we have to give Burchnall this season at least unless we are in danger of relegation, but my confidence in this stats based approach the owners and coach are adopting actually getting us promoted are diminishing with each game. I keep reading that “once Burchnall sorts it we’ll be fine”. But what if he doesn’t sort it? Does anyone think we look closer to a promotion team now than we did at the end of last season? I think the main problems remain unresolved.

This isn’t meltdown or knee-jerk over a disappointing result, it’s something I’ve thought for ages.

This. On the plus side we did have alot of shots but we are just missing clicking into a top team and putting teams to the sword. Next few games very important but think we'll win the reply. As for promotion then not confident at the moment.

I agree that performances have been poor. No burying head of hands over ears from me, and of course All isn't well. All I was pointing out is that we aren't the only ones who struggled today.

But the win at Yeovil wasnt? We've been consistently moderate all season. I think the team cobbled together with no pre season after relegation would beat this team at the moment.

They would beat them easily, IMHAHO.
