    Hills last game lost 1-3 to Blackburn 13 shots 8 on target.

    Flickers last game lost 0-3 to Brum 14 shots 4 on target.

    Wilsons last game lost 1-2 to Fleetwood 11 shots 5 on target.

    All 3 games described as being terrible to put it politely, all 3 games we had the most possession, yes probs chasing the game.


    We try to tighten up at the back and the attempts dry up.

    Walsall a game we dominated and won on our good run 12 shots 6 on target.

    Entertainment value is getting lesser by the season.

    Football seems to be more about not losing than winning games now. Teams don't tend to attack down the wings anymore either.

    Pack the midfield when you're short on quality defenders and midfielders and throw a striker in there with the midfielders. It's an old game plan even used in children's football. It works for a while then you need to do something else.

    There's some big decisions to be made this summer.

    If you don't shoot you won't score. At one point we had 59% posession and hadn't had a shot never mind one on target.

    There were plenty of opportunity to shot against Sheff U on Saturday but they players were constantly looking to get the ball out wide and we didn't have anyone prepared to run at the United defense.
