Have to say i wondered that too, thought turner would of been a definate starter, we need pace & passing, but no disrespect to mullers at all, great guy, but i think the play should of been that of the lincoln match, mullers has to drop back & let the others play up front, we win that way especially in the passing ball on floor. Sorry hoofing up just doesnt cut it all at in the league - 3 seasons on we shouldnt even adopt that play.

Re: vs Northampton
Don't disagree with that SM but thats down to Coley to tell the players which formation/tactics he thinks are best for each game & make sure they do as they're told.

Re: vs Northampton
As stated before,its all about opinions,I thought the main problem we had last night was the centre backs dropping to deep and getting into a physical battle with there forwards in the wrong areas of the pitch, ie just outside our box !
The coloured centre forward dictated play and our center backs fell for it,
It wasnt helped by the linesman not knowing the offside rule.
The manager was screaming at the cb s to leave them,but kempson inparticular was reluctant.
The game then became stretched instead of squeezing/pressing higher up the field.
Can anyone say there forwards were quick ?,strong yes,quick no
Only when the cf went off was a period of play we dominated.
Have a look at the goals and space caused by defending deep,the manager seen this but players didnt or werent confident of stepping up/leaving them in

ok the point being we were 2-0 down n needed thrust up front, mr wonderful was the most ineffective striker on the pitch last night I.M.H.O. therefore to attempt to retrieve something should have been substituted, ya don't need to be sir alex to suss that out.

Re: vs Northampton
Hi SM....Wouldn't you agree that whichever team was selected to start the game, and wherever a substitution was actually made, The Reds were always going to be second best to a Team who were faster and better-organised on the night.
I'll also venture to suggest that the opening strike from their ageing striker is probably one of, if not the best that we'll see at the crown this season ! . The timing of this goal, closely followed by the penalty really gave The Reds very little chance of getting anything from the game.
Anyway...It was a BLIP !!...and it will get better !!!

Re: vs Northampton
Well having had a night to calm down, Ihave to say, that was S****. UkCowboy and me could have been better forwards and Pete is on crutches and I have a foot in plaster. Last nights dross was totally unacceptable and reverted back to early league days. We are a much better team when we keep it on the deck. At least the 2nd half was a small improvement on the first, but that is the only good thing about the game. To start Kee was a mistake IMHO, he is obviously still not 100%. Please, Please PLEASE play McConville from the start, for a guy from non-league, he is a revelation. And I agree with others, give Michael Symes a start. Mullers has been a terrific servant to the club, but I think he should and could be used more sparingly. What about Craig Lindfield? If he is a free agent as has been speculated, sign him up. He is a player who I admire and can hold the ball up really well.The goals will come and as others have said, it is early days yet. Like Pete, still scaringly optimistic.

Re: vs Northampton
heard lindfield wants to come but is still not fit from injury n reason not back is they cannot afford to pay n injured player, so will just have to hope when fully fit they will. dunno if thats the case, but its what i was told. i'm also very optimistic tues was a blip.

Bet none were saying that when he nodded in the winner against Walsall.
All the players should take a share of the blame for last night's poor performance as I'm sure they know theirselves - as for Symes being a replacement for Mullers, sorry but based on what I saw of him last season there's now way he could be.

Know what you are saying, Accy, but one part of the problem is that with Mully up front and the lads under pressure at the back they will always take the soft option and bang it up in the air in his direction, regardless of what Coley tells them beforehand. Not his fault, of course that he has this aura about him which demands the ball, but the unfortunate fact is that what he then does with the ball increasingly does not work against today's league 2 defenders.

Re: vs Northampton
I like Lindfield woud like to see him signed up when he is fit, think Liverpool still hold is papers so would have to pay them abit of cash i think. think him and kee or symes would be good upfront,
Tuesday was a bad day! Saturday we will win and everything will be normal again.
What fun is it playing well every game!

Re: vs Northampton
I'd just like to say that I thought your fans were very loyal. 99% of you staying till the end. If we were losing 3-0 our place would be half empty!!

Re: vs Northampton
As a few of you have said already it is about a persons opinion, so for what it's worth here's mine! The Team we put out last night was no different really to the last couple of wins, one difference was Kee - who in my opinion was not fit, but did give us a glimpse of what he can do - and he and Mullers did not really seem to hit it off. They were often in the same space and always going for the same ball, both of which lost us width and options. What on earth Turner is doing on the bench, Coley only knows But the biggest difference to me, was that Martin seemed to have been told - or took it upon himself - to punt it up field, instead of last couple of games were he often rolled it out to the back four (Joyce in particular), which in turn got the passing game going and helped us keep the ball. I think that it was how he was told to play, because I did not see the back four looking for the ball almost as if they knew it would get lumped up field.
Northampton played well and after getting a dream start they found it easy to play their game and were quick at moving it about, but we had our chances in the second half and with the use of good subs (Turner as a minimum) things could have been different. History now, but I would like to think that lessons have been learned, we have a great squad and it was a blip, but come on Coley, use the squad.

Re: vs Northampton
I want to see Joyce playing in central midfield.
What happened to Ross Lloyd playing at right back?
