Biggest problem position for me is right back/right wing back, we only have Crowe who can comfortably play there and he looks at least 1 or 2 divisions below this level.
Every time I've seen him this season he's either out of position or being skinned, conceding goals and chances we can't afford.
Plugging this hole in the team could go a long way to solving the width problems others have quite rightly pointed to.
I wonder how much loan money is left in the budget

Southend think they had 68% of the possession and 30 shots but came away with nothing because our 18 yard box was "a sea of yellow"

Excellent strike by Will Goodwin much better goal than reported in my opinion.

The bonus was a fantastic team spirit not to lose and for that alone I have to say "well done lads"

Watching the highlights it looks like we played a 442, i know Hanson got the goal but I would like to see lapslie and mcgavin be the 2cms if we are to continue as we do miss his bite, some good football played there but defensive substitutions nearly let Southend get back in the game. Lovett looks a great 2nd choice, Omar looked solid in the highlights and it was good to see evans in the middle of a lot of the good stuff. Andrews got himself a couple chances but he’s clearly quite rusty, hopefully Jarvis is ready to start with Goodwin and maybe we should be in the market for another winger as it seems Dan Martin was deployed there after wyatt, who are both more defensive minded.
1 thing for sure, this team will keep improving.

Highlights

We need to sort the midfeld out for
sure. We are just completely ineffective there giving the ball away , not winning it back, not using it purposefully ,lacking pace and drive to make things happen.
I can't imagine Lapslie and Hall will ever be fit enough to start every game so we need to get a couple in.
We need to get some benefit from having Evans now, not just develop him for Cardiff through the season and hand him back. I would play McGavin further forward behind Goodwin and Andrews/Jarvis and try and strengthen centre midfield.

Thanks, Very nice of you to say so.

Its trading the in play horse racing markets actually Dave - but I will concede its a form of gambling (although traders normally say otherwise).

Anyway great to get a win. Should enjoy them I'n not sure they will be coming around too often.

We sounded under the cosh from the commentary but wont dwell on that because the win was huge.

Times must be hard if you call a tenner profit 'huge'

by **brucie** » 03 Sep 2022, 18:35

I left scratch on the draw and Southend win after the first goal. Then when the second one went in I cashed out for equal profit whatever the final score.

brucie wrote: 03 Sep 2022, 17:07 Looking at the results today it seems to indicate that promotion is already between 4 teams or so who are head and shoulders above anything else. It already looks a mini league between Wrexham, Chesterfield, Solihull and Notts County.

There doesnt appear to be an awful lot in the league other than that though with a fair few poor teams. Doesnt look as competitive as last year though.

I would agree that Goodwin deserved a goal.

I tend to agree with you here. I would be surprised if the top 4 now aren’t the same top 4 at the end of the season with Wrexham ultimately winning it. They will spend their way out of this league.

Everyone else as we have seen this season can beat each other. What worries me about this season is that I would suggest we are at the lower end of this group. Plus last season there were 3 poor teams (Dover, Weymouth and Kings Lyn) a long way adrift of everyone else and you had to be really bad to get dragged into a relegation battle. I may be wrong but relegation appears like it may be more competitive this season and a host of clubs could be involved.

I see what you did there. Very good

by **Admiral** » 03 Sep 2022, 17:40

Great win. Worried it’ll be a flash in the pan unless we bring in a decent winger on loan. Favourable home game next week to build on this, however last year after beating Dover at home (we were poor on that day), we expected to win our next 3 (Barnet, Aldershot, Halifax). Turns out we lost all 3, and our turning point didn’t come until Weymouth away in December.

Hopefully we put together a decent run of form earlier than that this season.

Onwards, up the gulls

Brucie did you trade out at 0-1 or 0-2 or 1-2?
