To replace?

Take your pick of the midfield.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Take your pick of the midfield.

That bad eh ...

 

[mgh]

To replace?

Phillips...

 

[Pubey]

Corner N'hampton.......cleared. Time to bring Payne on?

Payne isn't going to help with clearing corners!

I'm still yet to be convinced by the Payne love-in.

If we lose this game today then I think Saturday's match will be make or break for Brown.

At least that game's in March.

Offside thank god.

Who could we realistically attract who will do any better with a threadbare defence?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Sounds like we are getting done for pace. Something we lack big time. We have become predictable.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Sinclair and Hackett combine again the former puts it in the net.......happily offside.

 

[Jam_Man]

Sinclair did him for pace apparently.

(Not that pace is important, according to one zoner).

Pace is great attribute to have as long as you can use the ball. Pace on its own isnt a lot of use.

 

[Ramsdenblue]

Newport 1-0 up

[Prawn]

Well this is'nt the news I wanted to wake up to. :thumbdown:

I see we've had most of the possesion but getting beaten for pace.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Have we had a shot on target this half?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Newport 4 points behind us and three games in hand.:sad:

 

[Pubey]

Who could we realistically attract who will do any better with a threadbare defence?

It's not just the fact that we have a threadbare defence, but the fact that we've gone from a fantastic position at christmas to potentially out of the playoffs, we have no clarity regarding our best formation and team, we have pretty much every player except maybe Bentley and Leonard under-performing and if we don't go up this season then it's only going to be harder next (assuming the ground news doesn't result in a major upturn in our finances).

Brown appears to have lost the squad and lost the plot. Ron has never been one to fire a manager without someone else lined up... and I wonder if he's been manoeuvring and the recent interview is his way to highlight to a potential replacement that the ground is nearly here.
