I am not sure if this rose has a reputation for diving but he will soon get one, this talk of signing him must be talk as he would bring nothing to the team and his constant falling over would drive me crazy

Would you have Reid back then G ? or play Shipley there?
Interested as to as how you would mix it up, if it's not working?

McNulty is as bad and Doyle never misses an opportunity to feign histrionics either.
McNulty likes to stop and run into opponents to try and get a foul - yesterday he did it when he should have carried on - he may have scored.

If it’s not working why would you even consider one of our worst players playing out of position. We don’t have 2 capable wingers with pace and we don’t have a good enough player in the middle to constantly distribute successfully.

Yeah. Surprised they also missed Ponticelli's goal that was onside too.

I thought Hemmings looked a better player than him yesterday

Was impressed with him. Could do with him here if he plays like that every week.

I bet he doesn't that's why he's in this league, maybe he's their kyel reid

I thought that was Hamilton on the wing, pretty sure Hemmings played up top with Rose.

Hemmings is the player I mean, played on the left of the front 2.

Other teams just have strikers who score full stop. From the same amount of chances.
People said we didn’t need the out abd our goal scorer as the goals will come from else where.
Then they said we will do a burton.
Non of that is working we still need someone who will more often than not put their chance away.

You keep banging the same drum, so who would you suggest a cash strapped League Two signs in the transfer window? that is cheaply available that will score freely.
Its well and good saying something that we would all love but don't pretend that that reality exists.

But he isn't paid to find them people at the club are, maybe we could catch burton on a bad day and see if they will swap Beavon back for sordell in fact we could throw in a sweetener of mcnulty and biamou

How is it that, while as a forum we have differing points of view on pretty much everything, we unanimously agree we lack creativity and another out and out winger, yet Robins either fails to see it or address it.
Yes Haynes isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but at least he’s willing to run at people, so why not put him on the wing? Or promote a winger from the youth team? The team is so unbalanced and we’re so easy to defend against as all you have to do is mark Jones. At least another pacey winger would give the opposition something else to think about.
I appreciate that losing Andreu was a massive blow but he’s had months to adapt and seemingly hasn’t.
I get the Kelly/Doyle are the same player argument, however I actually think Kelly has more to his game but he’s being asked to play a restricted role. Why not allow him more freedom when playing weaker teams or chasing the game? Or give Stevenson a chance to find some form - when he’s on it, surely he’d be one of the most creative players in the league.
I like Robins and I wouldn’t suggest anything as extreme as sacking him, but his performances over the last few weeks have meant an element of doubt has crept in.

I didn't mean recalling Beavon for his shite goals per game record, more as an intelligent second striker who can hold the ball, pick out a through ball or two and distract defenders whilst others can get into the area.
Other than Beavon, who can do that?
It's not as if we're likely to bring someone in to do that job either...

Who's Mark Jones?

That’s Robin’s job. He will find him the cash strapped club signed Mcnulty and Tony A. Their wages won’t have been cheap. Then paid a fee for a defender on the deadline day.
People will need to move on but we need that striker, Robins knows it and it’s his job to find him.
McNulty was his mistake. He is a good player but just not a ruthless finisher.

But that means the one alongside has to score loads to make up for his lack of goals I don't think we have that player so we have a better chance of getting two scoring fifteen each than one getting thirty

Like I have said before. This is almost a full new team and is still trying to gell together. We knew with bringing in so many new players that some would be duds. We have the best defence sitting 6th in the league I am sure almost everybody to a man would have accepted that before the season started sure its been shite at times thats foitball unfortunately. After the last few years we have had some crap being fans of CCFC but as much as we care point scoring over fellow fans aint gonna solve anything, obviously our attacking/scoring departments isnt working as well as it should and needs addressing either with different tactics or different personel but it aint over yet lets try and stick together as fans and put the inhouse fighting on a back burner

Mark Robins agrees with me, you know the bloke who say as a football manager is a miracle worker.....
“ I think we’re the best side in the division but we have just got to work out the best way of finishing moves off. But again, we have got to be ruthless in the final third.
We are creating chances and those goals will come. It’s just disappointing again because we could certainly be three points better off today.
We had plenty of chances and haven’t taken them because either the goalkeeper has made a good save or we’ve not hit the target
have created a number of chances, and really good chances and not conceded too many things.
But we’ve got an over-riding feeling of disappointment because we have to decide as a group that we have to be more ruthless. We have to be more ruthless.”

I think that regarding
Beavon
McNulty
Biamou
The Duck and Ponti I am still unsure, they are too raw to really know for sure yet.

Name the chances, it's simple if there are so many.

It like his assertion that forwards are getting enough chances on goal to sufficiently convert when those who actually bother to attend know that’s not the case. Signing another striker without addressing the real issue solved absolutely nothing

I'd say best bet is to take a gamble on someone from non-league. If you're after someone proven at this level it won't happen - they'll likely be looking higher.

I would much rather spend any money on a fast paced right sided midfielder in possession of a good cross in him.
