djwilf 28 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just seen the highlights Either a one off... Or we cant defend.....perfect example being our corner leading to their goal. Could be a long season if it continues. Anyone tell me what the personality of our team is this year please?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Katemon 38 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 We have played 4 games , see where we are after 10 games assuming the season lasts that long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ignored by most 15 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Don’t we give it so many games every season? A complete overhaul of the club is needed or soon there will be no club Quote Link to post Share on other sites
old towner 26 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 we say it time and time again the thing is the board see something in Andy ,what it is we dont know answers on a postcard please do the players not like Andy, dont like his style of play. this may have been bought up before , if members have one vote in the club can they not have a vote in who is kept and who goes ??? after all they have a share in the club same as who is elected chair of our club ?? something to think about we need money coming into the club a first or second round facup would be nice pity Andy's luck in the cup runs never worked at the town !!!!

andyetfc 101 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wonder what was said at half time on Tuesday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steph1 28 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Probably nothing by Andy and the coaching staff. It is interesting to note that we start well but gradually our opponents take control. That seems to me a lack of fitness in the players, possibly as has been highlighted by 4 wembley finals. We do not seem to be able to keep our promising youngsters. Consider the way that Parcell was treated by this manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raingod 43 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Highlights from Horsham game on youtube I wasnt there due to illness (and glad I didnt make the trip) but looking at this, some poor mistakes Goal 1 - their defender picks the ball up in his own box, runs to the centre circle unchallenged, and threads a ball through to the striker - not marked properly Goal 2 - their midfielder walks into the box unmarked and able to place it Goal 3 - we lose the ball on the attack - the interceptor runs a good distance unchallenged, 2 passes inside to unmarked players, and a shot from outside area I would expect to be saved Goal 4 - From OUR CORNER, they win possession, 3 simple passes to unmarked players - and then Nathan should have done better being caught out at near post Goal 5 - Chappell heads away, their guy collects unchallenged, 2 touches and a shot from distance I've watched these several times and I think they are all very poor - on top of the Stortford game the week befroe I was at, and we do not seem to be sorted defensively. The lack of marking and orgnaisation is very worrying. I don't get why Small was sub after being our best player at Stortford? Why was Weathers sub? Why has Junior not been given a start yet? I'm always glass half full and like to be optimistic; I agree wich Richard K it is too early to judge. I think the cup exit was unlucky - worst possible draw we could have got and when we equalised I thought there would only be 1 winner - didnt realise there was no extra time! I think the squad is good overall - and they would not stick around if there wasnt good team spirit. And the 2 week of isolation wont have helped preparations .. I do think we need a defensive coach though to work on this stuff. Thomas is pivotal to our team but we need to have other options .. - why has the defence changed so much - e.g. why was Weathers on the bench? - should we look to play 3 at the back? Extra cover whilst allowing us to use the width effectively? Hopefully the next 2 home games will see 2 solid performances and some positive stuff to discuss ...

4wembleyfinals 33 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Excellent analysis RG. Unfortunately however it could have been written many times over the last couple of years. Fortunately for us we had MO to come up with outstanding individual goals which help to cover the obvious cracks. I have said it many times before the problem lies with organisation. AL and his assistants appear to have only one pattern of play. Something which many of us appear to agree on. It's no secret that I never accepted AL to be a long term manager of the club. My various criticisms are well documented over the past 3 years. Certainly nothing personal as they are all directed at his philosophy in how he sets up teams to play. In the beginning of his reign he performed miracles in getting together a squad within weeks. Also he has attracted many players, especially young ones, who many clubs are now happy to have now engaged. Because of this the he appears to be unable to move the club forward. In these difficult times I certainly want something to perk me up. It would be nice to see something different tried. I believe that last season he had players with the ability to accept a new approach. I am sure we still have enough experienced players to adapt to a new system. We can only wait and see which team turns up tomorrow. Edited October 9, 2020 by 4wembleyfinals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Katemon 38 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Let’s see where we are after 10 games 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lovely stuff 72 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 15 hours ago, Richard Katemon said: Let’s see where we are after 10 games 😉 Somehow second in the league with a goal difference of -1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnfieldTowner 112 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Same goal difference as Merstham - who are bottom! 'Its a funny old game, Saint'. Still 2 games to go before we get to Richard's 10 games point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
