What I'd try is passing, saving and hitting the target.

You're right Steve, I was concerned at Grimsby, as despite having so much possession, we showed little creativity or cutting edge. We scored from a horrendous defensive error, and from a set piece. This lack of creativity has shown through in the last two games.I said the other day we're yet to hit goal scoring form and yet to find that killer touch, and got shot down. Now if today don't highlight this more than ever nothing will. Yeovil let in 14 prior to today and been awful at the back. Did we trouble them.
We've got off to a great start with JJ having a day to remember, at Grimsby McNulty got lucky with his goal and Grimmer did well to take his goal.
Since then nothing and in truth we lacked any build up play in the first half at Grimsby till we played and broke them down in the second half with McNultys awareness and luck shifting the pendulum.
It's still early days but it's a concern. MR needs his trusted mate Steve Taylor more than ever right now. Plenty to smooth over and put right.
It happened on a good angle for me. There was 4 of us who all saw something different. I'm still not sure that I know what happened.Can only put it down to a lack of communication
Long ball forward, he should never have even started running out of his box. No need. Yes Stokes may have lost out to the Yeovil players pace but he would have still had a lot to do had there been a GK in goal!
Kelly's challenge for that second goal is non existent. He just seems to track the player half-heartedly into the box.Watched the goals back, obrien comes for a ball he doesn't need to come for! a blatant hand ball , if you watch it back it's actually quite funny the guy was playing volley ball or so it looked, happens and Kelly isn't forceful enough to stop the player running and shooting two errors and we let two goals in.... so many efforts though that we don't take, at the moment being clinical is our downfall! Need to get the shooting boots on, K Thomas I think needs to come in!

Two very poor goals and O'Brien had no right into thinking he even had a chance of getting to that ball.
Both goals go down the same side McDonald would have been playing if he had been fit.... they targeted our week spot and won! Even if Willis and Hyam had good games the leadership was missing!! Kelly should have done a lot better though McDonald would have covers him better!!
Thing that annoys me McNulty has 5 shots, 1 on target.... for me he needs to be dropped just to get his mind right!!
Tbh we wouldn't have scored if we were still playing need shooting practice or just a half decent striker.
Just like last season really.
Stokes was off the pace agains5 Blackburn too
Stats from the football league paper on the game other than the obvious telling one.
I think we're still too "nice" as a side for L2 given the characters in the side. We need that edge amongst other important aspects of the game to get the results.
That's easy for you to say!League 2 is pretty shit to watch. So much head tennis
I think do ok bsttling for ball. But upfront we have no presence.
Look st ducken. He keeps ball wuite alot when iy first comes to him. Someone like that upfrony gives midfirlders time to cstch up to thrm etc. Shsme biamou hasnt hit road running

Macdobald, I like himWatched this game on holiday. We did ok tbh but lack cutrinf edge upfront.
Yeovil had pace and that led to both goals really. We nees to defend better. What was up with macdobald?
Ducken did well. Him and jones look a threat. We might need somethinf more in number 9 role thouhh this season if mcnulty doesnt get his shit together
Dissapointing but still not too downbeat
Definitely Stanley Unwin !!League 2 is pretty shit to watch. So much head tennis

Only have to watch the Arsenal game yesterday, they didn't look like they could score in a brothel, they had a real off day, so it happens to the top teams too, hopefully our good days are just round the corner, on the stats alone against Yeovil we dominated! Robins appears to have shored up our leaky defence of recent years but again to the detriment of scoring goals, just like Don Howe all those years ago, just need to tilt the balance back slightly and hopefully the goals will come but yes I definitely think we are missing a bruiser up front to upset oppositions defences for our 'smaller' players to capitilseTried to tell you all summer
You wait till winter months.
I still believe big physical figure up top is missing from our side, Vincenti tho hasn't been great gives us a outlet, if we could make better of his knock downs then we're nearer to whats required after all McNulty played arguably his best football playing off a target man.
I think McNulty just needs a few lucky breaks to get a goal or two and he will find confidence. He's just lacking that composure and killer touch
It's still early but I think we need a moral boosting win before the rot of the fan base kicks in to negative overdrive.
And for years we have needed a BIG F**KER upfront , I just don't know why we haven't signed some one !Tried to tell you all summer

Do they get paid more based on size then or are you aimlessly ranting?And for years we have needed a BIG F**KER upfront , I just don't know why we haven't signed some one !

Stop being silly Nick !Do they get paid more based on size then or are you aimlessly ranting?
Is Kevin Kyle still available?And for years we have needed a BIG F**KER upfront , I just don't know why we haven't signed some one !
Silly me , of course I do , it costs MONEY !
Ha ha , Kevin Kyle , big and useless !Is Kevin Kyle still available?
600k for 5 goals in 47 games across two seasons. Will always remember Fadiga going mental at him for a poor pass and just being generally awful when Preston beat us 4-0 back then.Ha ha , Kevin Kyle , big and useless !
