see, u should never describe an incident like this and then stop short of saying what you did.

Some players on the pitch either have no clue whatsoever what they're meant to be doing (relate this to lack of communication) or cannot play in the position they're being asked to. Getting stuck in only gets you so far. We had the ball plenty of times tonight yet did nothing with it.
What's lacking imo in a post match discussion of what the **** went wrong or right in a game. The lads who discuss things on here are generally agreeing with each other about whats going wrong. There's no actuall progress being made. It's frustrating tbh.
we made massive progress up to 2 weeks ago when we had won 5 out of 5, scoring goals for fun and keeping 3 clean sheets in a row. what has changed? our game is lacking bite. simple as that. this is astro lads ffs, its very easy to win games, we have alot of good players, bu if you prance around on the pitch, then teams will beat us. fred west ham are a better team than us, yet we hammered them off the park, why so, cos we said before the game that we were going to get stuck in and beat them. the passing and goals came with that.
martin, sitting here talking about it on a forum is not the place to do it, its on the field between the white lines. we talk about it too much already besides just getting in with the game. kick somebody next week (opposition preferibly), you will feel alot better. 0 -

I don't have a gun, or healing hands..
hmm, maybe theres an idea, anything left in the kitty??:D
look, we aint become a bad team over the space of 3 weeks. we have the chance to prove this next week against a team that can win the league. lets just go out and beat them and do our talking where it matters, on the pitch. 0 -

Tbh Ed, i think we've reached our level with the current players we have. The run of victories and what have you was great. But we've been brought back down to earth the last few weeks. Attacking wise we have some brilliant players. there's no doubting that. But elsewhere we need vast improvement0 -

martin, just lay the blame game ok???:mad::) the game is over and done with, im only talking about the importance of have a settled defence and to b honest, i think we all see that. and that fact that we are blaming the defence, looking for excuses. remember martin, YOU are part of that defence too.
now lets move on and start getting tuned in for next week cos unless we put up a good performance, we are going backwards and will ruin our 6 games unbeaten.0 -

Cheers for pointing that out to me Ed. I'd only been talking about everyone else. Clearly I'm above criticism myself 0 -
Prove what exactly? That we're probably the most inconsistent team in the division? Who really cares if we trash them 10-0? We've lost against Trinity, Coffin Dodgers and IFG amongst others. It's a classic case of when we're losing we underrate ourselves due to lack of self belief and when we're winning we overrate ourselves due to inflated egos. That's why we are where we are.homerjay2005 wrote: »look, we aint become a bad team over the space of 3 weeks. we have the chance to prove this next week against a team that can win the league.
I wish it was that simple but unless you have 11 people on the same page then you're pretty much in a self-defeating circle. Yes, I believe we beat ourselves most of the time. I definitely think we have found our level with this side and its no use the defence blaming the strikers who are blaming the midfield who are blaming the manager. A bit of fecking responsibility wouldn't go astray.homerjay2005 wrote:do our talking where it matters, on the pitch.
The simple fact is that like I said to someone after the game, some of our better players didn't show up, I have absolutely no idea why that is but compared to recent games some of us were totally anonymous figures. I don't think singling out individuals for criticism will help anything.
I'll say one thing, that Trinity side were very physical, I got fouled and pushed more times in that game than any other this season, but I'm a big boy and can take the rough with the smooth. So "getting stuck in" is simply about standing your own ground. I also noticed it was a dirtier affair than we've been used to, hence the petty squabbles and sending off etc. Some players love the handbags, others don't like the physical side of the game, IMHO we were a bad mix of the two. If a player starts kicking me or starts with the cynical off the ball **** you can be sure he'll be getting an extra hard kick in the nads next time a 50/50 comes around. Some of our own players shy away from the confrontation and, in no uncertain terms, wuss out. You actually increase the risk of injuring yourself by going half hearted into challenges. They simply shoved us off the ball and controlled the game with a few decent passages of play.
So getting stuck in is only the start of it, that's to stop you getting psyched out of the game, once you have the ball you still have to have a clue what you're at. 50 yard cross field Beckham pass are a total waste of time unless you're one of the rare players who can pick a pass from miles away.
Total crap the last few games, how anyone can rationalise we're any better than our position suggests really needs some reality pills. We've lost 6 from 15.0 -
