Bbm does when we are losing and on 80mins ....... he could have done so today but swapped like for like except Ashford is a foot shorter! He is not a forward thinking coach it's more percentage football except our problem is we don't take advantage of the high percentages of our chances in fact take less than 0000.1 of chances. Hope it will change on Saturday

He will not change a thing from the start of a game last season proved this although different level of football. It's about keeping the ball rather than getting in the box to two strikers or long balls - crosses for two strikers which we will never do under BBM. He's a one trick pony but we needed better quality players really to keep up the momentum of last season although somebody will get bashed off us sooner or later let's hope it's sooner because morale will be dropping by the game within the camp if we don't win soon that's for sure as all the stats in the world has not won us a game to date :bluescarf:

Have we got 2 to play up Top ??/ and if we have - are they going to last 90 mins ...
The great days of Jay and Chops - With Ross to come on have long gone - We do not have cover up Top .

We are first in the division for shots and touches in the opposition box. So this is just nonsense.

Yes but his post is about * two up top" not stats if there was two in the middle then who knows again better players help put the ball away we have what we have as I've said

Maybe play Moylan more advanced, in the second striker role

Yeah, I can read.

You deviated first by saying:

The facts state otherwise. I stopped trying to debate you a while ago as it's a doom loop. So.. back on topic..



I do think that we need someone closer to Salech/striker. Moylan or Ashford for me, but not as a second striker as we need to discipline without the ball.

I'd play Moylan 10 as he seems to have a 90 min engine to do the role, but get him in the 6-yard box more.

Moylan up as a 10 would be my preference. He will tuck in to midfield when needed and shown he has an eye for goal.

People wax about Chopra and Bothroyd days, and they were lovely days don’t get me wrong but we regularly were over run in midfield once teams worked out our 442 left us exposed there.
