Over reactions

Its always been something we do regularly, which makes it all the more frustrating.
Being able to beat the promotion challengers, but also to lose to the relegation strugglers.

 

Fitz, remember in season '92, which I think was in mid December at the time.
Live on Ytv, a great 1-0 win against Keegan's star studded top of the table Newcastle team.
Then the following week, away at a terrible Southend team who were bottom of the table, and we lose 3-0.
And there's loads of other examples like this of course lol.

 

Oh yeah, loads of them. Funny you mention Southend. I remember playing them in 2006. I’d been working in Harrogate that morning and rushed back for the game, it was a promotion tussle. We were 2-0 up and cruising, Devaney even missed an open goal. Eastwood scored twice for them and we drew. We virtually drew our way into the playoffs that season as well.

 

It’s the formation for me. We’re overloaded at the back against teams like Stevenage and Bristol Rovers who have minimal attacking threat. We’re just not pushing them on to the back foot like we ought to be. We don’t have enough players in the attacking 3rd to create overlaps or one touch pass our way through.

 

Don we really need 6; or 7 defensive players at home to Stevenage? Doesn’t it just mean we cannot break the lines and get stuck n a war of attrition that we generally lose.
