Not much to say really same as saturday, no wingers, no width from fullbacks in advanced positions, too congested play with a packed central midfield, very little goal threat from the Albion, the saying goes if you keep doing the same things you get the same results ! So something has to change in our shape and or personel to get us back to playing attractive attacking football that creates and scores goals , MOM River again for Me and Greg played welll in goal.

Read Carl’s comment to Andrew Simpson on Twitter after the game he said “It was a point ganed because we could’ve lost.”
Agree with CJ completely as we appear to have a decent, hard working, honest team who are pretty solid but missing a bit of pace up top and out wide. Think we are very lucky to have River (one of the best centre backs I’ve seen in many years at Wincham park). One or two additions and we will be up there at the end of the season
I think most of us on the terraces agree with CJs points - so I suspect that isn’t lost on the management team either. That said we do have some good players as we all know, so it is just a case of tweaks rather than any wholesale criticism of the team.

I don’t know what the points were as when I click on number 1 of this thread it says “forbidden, you don’t have permission”…
