Grantham Town vs Witton Albion

THINK SULLY NEEDS TO ACCEPT BY PLAYING DANNY AS A MATCHSAVER RATHER THAN A MATCHWINNER
WE ARE NOT PLAYING TO HIS STRENGHS. ALTHOUGH HE IS OUR LEADING SCORER I BELIEVE HE WILL SCORE MORE IF WE
CAN GET SOME MORE ATTACKING SUPPORT FOR HIM.
IT IS NOT WORKING TO TRY TO BE TIGHT AT THE BACK. SO WHY NOT TRY BEING MORE ATTACK MINDED
AND GET SOME MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT TO DANNY RATHER THAN ASKING HIM TO CREATE AND SCORE OUR GOALS. OBVIOUSLY I DON,T MEAN GUNG HO BUT WE NEED TO SCORE MORE GOALS IF WE WANT TO WIN GAMES AS OUR DEFENDERS ARE ALWAYS UNDER PRESSURE KNOWING WE ARE NOT SCORING ENOUGH, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT CREATING ENOUGH CHANCES.WE DON,T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY WIDTH IN OUR GAME WHICH MAKES IT EASIER FOR DEFENDERS TO STIFLE US AS EVERY THING GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE.

Thing is we need 2 Dannies creative and attacking ! When you look at the squad we have there are very little options especially with Ben,Cliff and Jamie leaving and Powelly injured yes we have signed some young players but I think we need much more, if we want to play 442 then we need a better centre back, a new central midfield and a winger then Danny can go back in midfield/winger, when we have 5 at the back we played pretty well matching the best, but now there are holes all over the team eg 3 centre backs are not solid with out Ben and John Shaw, midfield is very weak only Danny being consistent in there Clark has been ok in some games but if moved wider and replaced with a Bit of quality Joe Shaw just doesnt do it for me! and of course up front we have stopped scoring so a striker to put pressure on Titch and Jamie also, but we have seen little o far in terms of good players coming in which is a worry at this stage.

I personally feel with 4-4-2 we have the players in the squad apart from a central midfielder, the problem is at this stage in the season it is a massive risk to change the formation, my 4-4-2 would be Robertson, Gibson, Goulding, Barnes, Shaw, Andrews, Clark, Gardner, Dawson, Rainford, Koral but that’s just my opinion?! But with a new central midfielder put Gardner back at right back. But what do I know :wink:

agree with jonny it is a massive risk,
but are we not taking a massive risk the way we are.
maybe 442 with 2 off the 4 midfielders protecting the back 4 AT ALL TIMES
and the 2 wide midlfielders tracking back when needed, but also giving us an outball
rather than just kicking high balls upto the strikers

It’s a good theory 4 4 2 but when we played it earlier we were rubbish, switch to 5 3 2 then worked, I think the main reason it has stopped being successful Is because we lost Ben and Shaw this meant Goulding and Corbett with Barnes in the back 3 and we have shipped goals, so given who we have available I’d go with

Roberston

Gards.Goulding.Barnes.Shaw.Dawson

Andrews. Clark. Corbett

Titch. Rainford

But I would be looking at getting in 3 new players to improve the team/ squad

Not seen Koral for a while has he been injured again ?

I had heard a whisper that Koral had been loaned out but whether that’s true or not I don’t know.

Runcorn Town Wheels

We have players out on loan and we are only naming 4 subs? Seems a strange one?

What’s even more puzzling is that he’s not getting a game there either. He certainly wasn’t involved on Saturday. Runçorn Town were the club I heard.
