One positive thing is that we actually seem to be getting penalties in our favour finally and both of our front men seem competent at those at least. Top 6 won't happen unless we start scoring more often though and closing games out when we do get in front.
    Or you could narrow that down to the form guide of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in our last 6. Going back 16 games is a bit unfair as we've clearly came out of that losing rut. Tam also has no option but to play McNulty and/or Clark. Who would you play instead? There is no one other than a 16 year old that none of us have seen & who only went professional 2 months ago.

    Either way you look at it, we are not winning enough games though, do you really see us winning 2 out of the next 3 which in my humble opinion is what we will need to secure a top 6 spot. And on your second point, I'd absolutely prefer to see the young lad playing ahead of a guy who simply does not score goals and a guy who rarely scores goals. I mean what's the worst that can happen? He also doesn't score goals? Nothing lost there then

    Spot on!!
    McNoscore playing every week getting on my thrupny bits!!

    P.S. we lost the second goal, with nobody on the back post, yet we still pull all 10 players back from corners? Would love to get back to old fashioned approach, one left up front and both posts covered, has worked for many years, and will continue to work for many years. You can shove your coaching manuals up your erse if you think otherwise ffs!!!

    McInally always covered that exact same post - how many goal-line clearances did he make in his career?
