    and tbf the games Jatta has mainly missed this season are concussion, bit of a freak injury and I hope not reoccurring for himself.
    Wouldn’t say Scott’s clearly out his depth, he needs to prove himself admittedly but he’s had an injury and has hardly played No 9 up to now. With all these woes up to now it’s worth noting we have scored the 2nd most goals in the league.

    I'm still fairly confident of us being in the play offs at least but I'm not totally sold on our automatic chances yet. What you need to factor in is there aren't really any stand out teams in this League, we had the potential to be that until the injuries. I'm still hopeful anyway but I can't see us not losing on Saturday.

    I was confident we’d finish in the top three based on the initial performances. The injuries to Jones, Edwards and Grant have dented that confidence, as have the last two home league games. Right now, I feel we could finish anywhere from third to 13th - can we maintain the away form while improving things out at home?

    You may be correct and it becomes 1 in 2 hope this is the case, what is obvious his game time will need to be managed to get his top performance. I think he started 5 games in which he was outstanding in 2 pretty good in 1 and then dropped off, then missing from the squad for the next two. I was just trying to point out to some who believe we have a strong and challenging attack that maybe think again, we are weak up front and I have said this from the beginning of the season, but was shot down in flames!! adding the long term issues with JJ, Edwards and Grant we look stretched.

    I know why you were shot down in flames!

    We look stretched with one of our main men out for sure but we are free from weak.

    Dont see enough of us on the front foot, predictable and painfully slow build ups, bread and butter crosses for defenders, unable still to stop crosses into our box.
    Andy Cook at Bradford would have been ideal.

    Injuries have hit us hard, but the response to certain forwards being out has always been to play the forwards next in line not to cram extra defenders/CMs into the side.

    3 hours plus of goalless football at Meadow Lane tells us that the Management Team got it wrong. If Bass went out, would we replace him with Didzy for example, because he's our best sub? The same logic should apply in all other positions.

    It think our players' head will continue to be filled with tactical instructions and changes rather than just attacking and hurting the opposition.
