Recipe for success in 2021?

We are on pace to lose 16 NL games this season btw...

Would that still get us in the playoffs? Or are we on course to miss out?! :/

I thought I gave my opinion on that clearly enough in the OP - Doyle, Turner and when he's been picked O'Brien

Doyle isn't

Turner isn't - 1 mistake v Halifax. The mistake before his sending off was equally Rawlinson's fault. How many 'mistakes' have the front men made when they haven't taken chances?

O'Brien - agree somewhat although he has been playing out of position.

My recipe would be a simple one - just concentrate on us scoring rather than stopping them scoring a bit more.

The simple three word recipe is 'Be More Adventurous'.

You should be a relationship coach.

Our midfielders (JoB, Doyle and Reeves) sound dogged and robust but the reality is they rarely win the midfield battle. They've got plenty of guts and determination but the fact is they're too slow, so Rodrigues in a midfield two could work, at least Rodrigues is mobile.

I think Turner generally plays well but is becoming prone to making catastrophic errors, although the sending off was not entirely his fault IMO.

We're on pace for 76pts, aren't we? That'll get you about 6th place on average. Are we satisfied with that?

I've tried and failed, I just don't seem to be able to get the message across.

When I suggest that my wife should be more adventurous, she starts looking at holiday brochures.

Well that's not squaring with the eye test of actually watching the games...I'm getting a sense of the good old Steady sentiments which ended up getting us relegated

Mine thinks we should take the dog to Gedling Country Park rather than Woodthorpe.

Totally agree.

I would love someone to list all these awful games Doyles had. For me in the top 3 players last season and again decent this season. There use to be similar debate about Michael Carrick, some people couldn't understand what he did, wasn't quick, hard, a dribbler or goal scorer but Fegie kept picking him.
