    Goal of the season?

    The 2nd goal yesterday was goal of the season in my opinion. The build up play, vision from Cox and run/finish from Marc was brilliant. We all appreciate individual goals from outside the area but yesterdays goal was such a good team goal. When you consider this is the same set of players that...

    You know what to do people. Awful game IMO. Dull as dishwater and we lack zero ideas apart from hoof it. :zzzzz:

  3. John White

    Enough is enough, since his shoulder injury not been the same player. Poor performance at centre half playing hoof ball and should have cost us a goal ,saved by Bentley. At full back decent enough defender but gives us nothing going forward. Time to lose the captaincy John and take a long holiday.

    Get it forward...

    So after that I'm feeling very emotional. The biggest joke of them all is that I hear the same people complaining about us playing direct football now encouraging it! "Don't just hoof it up there, keep the ball" has now become, "hoof it up there stop playing pointless 5 yard passes." So the...

    I am confused here

    So what exactly is PS's plan here. We have at least 3 players on board who like the ball to their feet during play, Eastwood, Benyon and Harris, Last season we tried the hoof route to the likes of Dicko etc and to some part it worked.Why sign players who prefer it on the deck if you want to play...

    Paul Sturrock - Director of Football?

    Personally I think that Mr Sturrock has done fantastic in saving our club and some of the signings have been excellent considering the circumastances. However I really do think that he has lost the plot when it comes to team selections and tactics (if there are any apart from hoof!), and I...

  8. TACTICS. Crunch Time.

    We have 3 tactics. 1; Play it out wide, especially from midfield with sideways passing only in their locker, 2; direct (Hoof) up to Dickinson from the back.3; Midfielders bursting through to be an extra striker (Timlin and Ferdinand). This was paying results earlier on in the season as...

    Why are we playing rubbish football ?

    With the players in the squad we have, who seem to have talent, why is it we are playing such crap football. Is it that PS knows only one game and that is hoof ball or is it that the formation is completely wrong..I don't mind picking up points but I hate seeing the style of football we have to...

    The new players

    Ok let us discuss the new players that have joined the squad this year to hopefully help the mid table team from last year..How do you see there progress so far and give them a rating. This is my opinion. Neil Harris: failed to impress at all so far , maybe the hoof ball has not helped his...

  11. Hoof Ball

    Why oh why are we regularly hoofing the ball up to our front two, instead of playing it along the ground? 9 out of 10 teams in this league hoof the ball but I honestly thought Sturrock would tell the players to keep it on the ground. For points during the game we looked decent playing it...

    We must start looking like a team now and start playing like one. How long do the club give him? I would have Ricky Duncan as Manager tomorrow at least he gets the kids to play rather than hoof ball

    Now im not to moan usually and very positive about the team most times but i cant remember the last time i saw a pair of full backs as poor today. Che Wilson at his worst was far better than what i saw today! Watched Friend at Brighton and he was ok but had the tendency to 'hoof' it. In my...

    Just back from Hereford.
