Maher really ain’t got a clue has he?
To start with the rapidly out of form/out of ideas Bridge and Husin is unforgivable every week, is there anyone from the 1600 supporters that would do the same?
To sub Kendall, is there anyone that at the time would have done the same?
Fact is, we grovelled over the line against a bottom 4 side and all because the manager is happy and instrumental in risking us throwing away a 1 0 lead with his suicidal/negative tactics.
Totally in control first half and should put it to bed 3 0 but oh know, let’s go deep and hang on for the last half hour.
He’s got away with it against a toothless outfit but how can he ever be expected to take us forward in the future if this was yet another example of him goal shy, shot shy, negative rubbish to bore a loyal, cold wet crowd.
If I was Morton and KAF I would be slapping in a transfer request Monday morning to find a club that is not blinkered into the same old out of form , negative garbage and get to use there undoubted quality elsewhere!
Happy New Year😤

I'm not sure KAF brings that much, so if he were to go and we could replace with better, it gets my vote.

....or could it be Husin is not the confident player he once was?
I doubt any coach will say to a player 'don't try and get the ball forward and attempt to score a goal'. Who does that?
We don't have control of the ball in a higher leagues, and taking that extra touch is a symptom.

I agree about the subs and said so further back.
Apart from Morton, they are a way behind first team choices.
I've read KAF brings 'energy'. Sorry, and all that, but he's an upgrade on Terrell.
Apart from being nudged off the ball and failing to control it, I'd like to know what he did in his 12 minutes on the pitch?
For once, a lone Bonne can be excused, especially with the ball banged long and hard up the pitch. Chase that, son...

Husin is clearly not the player he promised to be when he was signed. Probably explain why he never made it in a higher division. Time to move him on, along with Bridge. It would appear that unless there is a guaranteed obvious clear cut forward pass on, keeping possession even if it means passing back, is Maher's preferred style and woe betide anyone who dares to try something speculative. He alluded to new signings having to learn to play his way in his post match comments.
 
Need to use the recent two wins as a spring board and see how January goes.
4 games to play, three of which I would love to see us win, and if we can finally get some justice against Barnet a 4th win and an unbeaten month would be fantastic.

Ideally would love between 8 & 12 points 🙏

You're absolutely right, apologies. My original stat was regarding our form in the last 5 games and I didn't make that clear.

Actually, I owe you an aplogy as I was basing it on the old two points for a win system. Senoir momen. Think I'll go and shovel the snow away to clear my head!

In 2014/5, we only scored 54 goals over 46 games. Yet we still went up. I don't remember people complaining about the 10 (ten) 1-0 wins under Brown.

That'll be Phils "Clean Sheet Mentality"

Seems to still be in operation at Kidderminster with them having the 2nd tightest defense behind Scunthorpe shipping just the 17 goals
 
Should add also that it is worth watching the four goals Braintree scored against Dagenham on Boxing Day. They were all as a result of high balls into John Akinde and the Daggers defence just could not deal with him.

We dealt with him so well that Collin didn't have to make a save, and he got hooked in the second half having had no impact on the game whatsoever. Nathan Ralph put a marker out by winning two aerial duels against him in the first five minutes.

A very, very decent display by our back line. Further forward, work to be done but we are an improving side on the whole and I don't think it would harm certain posters to at least acknowledge that.

Also notable how direct we were yesterday, I don't recall Collin passing it to his back three once, possibly due to the condition of the pitch. It made for a very scrappy game which no doubt pleased those who complain about 'crab' football.

Noor is brilliant on his day. He is also awful on his day. That's why I guess he plays in tier five but without the consistency I'd definitely take any offers from other clubs. Been saying this for about two years.

How much of the improved defensive performance would you put down to Golding? I think in the last two games he’s led the line superbly, looked confident and accomplished on the ball. I think that makes a huge difference and I hope we can extend his loan.

The fact we scrapped the win and matched them despite not being able to pass it around for me was a positive, as we’ve not always been able to do that in away matches.
