Re: Smithy Odd Man Out?

Yes, we conceded too many goals but a lot of those were in the 'Crichton period' - I think we dropped around 10 points when he was in goal and John Coleman has to take some of the flack for that for selecting him ahead of Danny Alcock when he was clearly not good enough

I really hope JC concentrates his efforts on signing some quality defenders for next season, as a solid defence is what successful teams are built on. It isn't a mystery why we missed out on the play-offs this season, as the goals conceded column speaks for itself (58 I think). Look at Chelsea... 13 goals against. Different levels of course, but the facts speak for themselves.
At last, somebody agrees with me. I have been saying for the last couple of years "If we had a defence we would be dangerous", and every time I posted on that subject I was shot down, told to stop moaning, told that there was nothing wrong with the defence and more or less told to shut up. Now, at last, people are starting to realise that our defence is just not good enough. If we sort it out I am confident that we will run away with the league next season.

AccyMad mentions the "Crichton period" where we lost games. The blame cannot be put totally on Chrichton, take Farnborough and Forest Green away, we lost both those games but how many simple chances did the strikers miss - do we blame Mully or Evil when this happens - no - but when the keeper makes a mistake it is remembered. Take all the easy chances that the strikers have missed this season and we would easily have been in the play-offs

I didn't mean that all the blame was Paul Crichton's but it was certainly a big factor, with the defence having to get used to another keeper being part of that.

Doesn't look like it! Quote from an interview with Jonathan Smith on the Barrow soccerline................

INTERVIEWER: You must be looking forward to becoming a favourite with the fans at Barrow.

SMITH: Yeah, I always got on well with the fans at Accrington and they are quite a big club but I feel I'm coming to an even bigger club here.


At least some from Accrington talk sense
