Might be a bit light in midfield but I can see that team working. Exciting up front anyway..

kinarse, so much for being positive âšī¸
as an aside, it very well for governments to promise faster broadband speed, how about better mobile phone signals...

Well at least I cannot be accused of being negative before those goals started to go in, so as to irons comment regarding Monday, I still think it's anyone's game, hopefully ours, as that lot over the hill are not exactly any good either, though thank goodness I cannot make the match, as I do think it will be nail biting stuff

The manager somehow needs to find some defenders that can defend. Forgot about scoring goals at the moment, and try and keep a clean sheet. Start picking up points in ugly goalless draws and build some confidence, then start progressing forward. This isn't pubs league stuff where you can concede 3 goals a game and score 5 at the other end. This is semi professional football where players are paid decent sums of money to put bodies on the line for the club.
The league is already shaping up as expected and if the team keep shipping goals like they are, this will be one massive relegation dogfight.

He's changed personnel and it's got worse. I'm sure he's doing his best etc but it's not working. |

I don't think it is a problem with the players, on paper our defenders are Egan, Storey, Carmichael, Bowles and Martin, all good players. Maybe playing three centre backs isn't working, I would rather have Carmichael on the bench and play four at the back, he would be a great option on the bench.
We miss Vance just in front of the defence and have conceded goals from too much space in this area, our set up at corners doesn't seem to be working.
Weymouth are a good footballing team, if we try to play a passing game against them we will get smashed, we need to show fight, close them down quickly, put a few challenges in early on.
If we don't beat Weymouth Craig has to go the next day and we can prepare for the huge game next weekend.

If we're talking over recent years, I'd say it's Mark Jermyn we miss most in the 'sitting in front of the defence' role.. |

Morgan was at the game last week so wouldn't surprise me if he returned. Two issues for me though, he has already quit twice mid season, is he reliable enough? Also, we have loads of midfielders, even with Buckler leaving we still have too many, if Morgan signs I would hope a couple leave.

To me watching on Saturday there are two real gaps in this team. One is an imposing Striker, someone with height and relatively well built to challenge the 6ft 3+ defenders you come up against and also a real leader, someone who keeps our team going and also causes problems for the opposition.
In the past year or two Nathan has filled both these roles. I think we are missing him hugely this season, and if we knew he wasn't coming back or the manager decided to pursue other opportunities, it's a player we've not come close to replacing...
The way the team folded once the first goal went in was just like there was no fight, and then it just became one way traffic until Redditch eased off in the last ten minutes.

Very much agree with your first point something I'm sure you would ask. Or did Laird get rid? A fit and focused Morgan is better than any current centre mid in our current squad you would make room by moving others on. |

Do we think Griggs could do this role? Lots of energy so could operate as a box-to-box type midfielder? See we may be without Lowes, Lanahan & Bearwish today.
