If you played Southend Utd on FIFA 14, online gaming, you all would be frustrated at the lack of pace in our team!

I love your posts normally Murkey, but FIFA 14 is just a game and not fully realistic to real life. In the same way that my Champions League winning performances in FM have never won me the England job

What Champions League managers have been given the England managers job? You need a better analogy :winking:

Only 4 points ahead of 8th now and 8 points off 3rd. We need a serious improvement in form and quick otherwise another season in League Two beckons. I don't understand why a team with Barry Corr, Freddy Eastwood and Lee Barnard isn't scoring enough goals. Now isn't the time to be playing Football Manager and messing with different systems, although I don't think Brown can be criticised too much for his team selection. He had few options at the back, many have been calling for Laird to play and Hurst needed a kick up the backside. Start Payne and Williams on Saturday, inject a bit of youth and energy into the team. Can't do any worse than the current lot are.

You are talking about 3 crocked players. Freddy's knees have gone. Barry's knees and back trouble. Both have to miss training. Lee's not quite right, carrying something. The season will have finished by the time he is near his best.

Then you hear how a player with pace tore us apart for Northampton. Oh for another Assombalonga.

Does anyone know when we last went 1-0 up in a game? Daggers? It's almost a month ago!

Didn't we go 1-0 up against Hartlepool a couple of matches back and we were also 2-1 up against Exeter; so not sure being ahead in games is making a difference either!!!

I knew about Exeter but we went 0-1 down, was more interested in when we last took a 1-0 lead. God knows when we last took a 1-0 lead and actually won the game!

Yeah I'm still up north after Saturday but if I were down south I still don't think I could've brought myself to go tonight. We look so flat, low on confidence and ideas at the moment. Our goals are coming from set pieces and mistakes from the other team rather than good play on our part. Love the way Phil Brown has made us more attractive, until recently, to watch this season but it does appear like he struggles to turn round poor runs. We had a similar spell at the start of the season too

Like he didn't turn preston around when they were faltering.

Sacking Sturrock and bringing in Brown did us the world of good didnt it.

How fickle are we if we have a run of poor results and start talking about sacking a manager that everyone was raving about 6 weeks ago.

repeated comment, was brown able to halt preston's slide when he was there ?
 
Jam_Man said:
13 goals in 56 appearances in that season. 1 goal in more than 4 games, hardly inspiring.

Did add a different option and will always remember the overhead goal against Port Vale and the goal against Bristol City, but I was never his biggest fan.



Indeed..

Gray's pace stretched defences allowing Freddy the space
 
Jam_Man said:
No we didnt, and we wouldnt have done any better with Gray just because he was "quick" either.

Straker isnt there to score goals is he, Hurst has scored and created far more without his pace. Still at least Straker is quick...

Pace is a great attribute, as long as you bring something else to the table.

it did. I repeat what I said above his pace stretched the back line allowing fred space
 
Jam_Man said:
No one seemed to mind when we were winning.

Its pretty petty looking at that as any sort of reason for the teams poor form.

As if him not commentating on the game the other night would have meant anything could have been done to improve the team performance, whats he going to do get the team training in the evenings?

I said this all along. so your " no one" labelling is flawed

because in truth they are past their best and maybe prime. 1 is a crock, 1 is not a natural scorer , 1 is injury prone without football for a year.
