It is interesting to look at the last games in the rugger six nations. Wales, Ireland and England all knew that to win the championship they had to put points on the doors. Who would have thought that Wales would score over sixty points in Rome? Who would have thought that Ireland would put 40 points on the Scots, in Scotland? Who would have thought that England would score over 50 points against the French?
The point I'm trying to make is that all three teams knew that winning the game wasn't enough. They had to score a lot of points as well, so their mindsets before a ball was kicked was to score and score again. No point going 15 points up and playing the percentage game to see the game out as they normally would. In football terms I suppose it's the same as going two up and then shutting shop.
It is possible to raise your normal/average scoring (either points or goals), but you have to go out with the right mindset at the start.

We haven't got a prolific goalscorer at this level, and haven't had one all season. Therefore thread is void.

But in the end both England and Wales lost on points difference because they didn't defend well enough letting Italy and France score too many. |

You've hit the nail on the head, if we'd signed Akinde we'd probably now be already celebrating promotion, Taylor's a 15 goal a season man, Blisset probably10, Brunt & Cunnington similar during a good season for them. Easter arrived a bit then got injured. DC really messed up in the summer but not bringing in a proven goalscorer. |

Flaw in your post is that a proven goalscorer is what every club is looking for and not many can find, even your Akinde example is a bit flawed as lets be honest he only came good recently and most of us would not have rated him based on what we saw in the past.

We will have to play a lot better than last Saturday (Macclesfied) to win all 5 games, With better service to Taylor/ Easter/ Blissett who knows what will happen, with Mansell back giving Lines more license to play and provide balls to our wide men? or to the front men without just lumping it up all the time. We might just do it, but the GD will be a big hurdle to get over. But you never know "its a funny old game"

I'm sure Clark will decide that another four changes to the revolving door starting line up will be absolutely necessary and the team will play like total strangers for an hour.

LJG, You've hit the nail on the head. I've seen every game and to me DC seems to think that he has to tinker all the time and also clearly has favourites (but there again don't we all!!) Everybody says we don't have a natural goalscorer which may be true but I think not as with the right service I am sure Easter could score the goals and also it is important to have a partnership.I do not see Easter and Taylor ever getting a partnership working and surely the time has come to give Blissett/Easter a go.
Our main problem is the midfield and the make up of it and what our defenders do to help solve the problem. Four defenders marking one player with a gap between everyone else is not going to create much especially if they hoof it because it means the rest of the team are heavily outnumbered. This was particularily clear on Saturday where we have two central defenders and the two wingers with full backs (not really wingers,more like extra full backs). The central midfielders were completely out numbered.

5 wins has to be the target.
I've thought for at least five weeks now that 93 points would be the level needed to win the league, and to get that we now need five wins from five.
Therefore we have to go all out over the Easter weekend - get the two wins, boost the goal difference and see what Barnet and Grimsby achieve over the same period. Grimsby could be held by Gateshead, and Barnet might drop silly points, then perhaps the target will come down, but I'm convinced to do it we need to win all five.

The central midfielders were completely out numbered. I thought Easter & Tayloer looked a decent partnership V Aldershot when, if we'd continued to attack could have ran out 5-1 winners, as far as Blissett, what's he had to offer in any of his recent games as sub, V Eastliegh he added little & on Saturday he was hardly a big improvement when he came on, surely harrison deserves a start far more than Blisset? With regards to midfield we've had to make do with Lockyer, who's done his best, but surely things should improve now Mansel's back, as surely him & Lines are good enough for league football next season, should we go up? Wing wise can the new signing be any worse than Balanta & Dawsonon Saturday's performances? |
