    If we had any presence in midfield, Morris would be able to stay up front and offer some threat. He had to be all over the pitch today while benson and Gomes were getting outmuscled.

    Moon and Halme in midfield is starting to make more sense…

    I agree with that, and I owe you an apology for the snottiness of my earlier post. Sorry about that. Tension you see.

    There is a point that comes, and now at the halfway stage, when you have to ask if these players are good enough individually and as a unit. If we don't see improvement in our possession and creativity then either something has to change or we accept that our weakness will take us down.

    Don’t think the manager (head coach) helps. Find it difficult to support a team that doesn’t actually try to win games.

    Yeah i think id rather we had a good go to win and actually score than just get everyone behind the ball and hope we can nick a goal from a 30 yard free kick. Nil nil flattered us 3 cleared off the line collins with save after save. If poya carrys on with these tactics he wont win a game of football all season we have only scored 2 goals in 5 games under him so far.

    L
    Last season VIs first five games 4 wins this season PAs first five games 3 draws, why the big difference? Because VI set the team up to try to win games and PA sets them up to try not to lose games. We might not be relegated as early in the season under PA as we would have been under MS but it won't be much later. We aren't missing chances we are just not creating any and if you can't score goals you don't win.

    I agree only one team last night was trying to win a game of football the other was trying not to lose. I dont know if he is adopting this tactic as he doesnt think he has the players to win games and create chances so waiting for January. But if the worst happens and we go down playing how we are now id question weather someone so negative would be the man to tey get us promoted.
