Not a criticism but maybe it just our style of play that we do not seem to be on the right side of a decent cross.Maybe get nearer then cross or cross to the edge of the penalty area where most of our players appear to be.

It could also be the proficiency of opposition defences that are squeezing us out.

From what I saw yesterday was once we went in front Graham was playing too deep
The goal we conceded came from down our left
A crossfield ball from the right to nobody allowed Barnsley to break and we didn't have numbers back to defend
For the first 30 minutes we looked good but Ritchie changed our formation with Graham playing deep

Graham thinks he's a top-class winger which is why he's not improving the team. A winger's job is to take on his marker, get past him which will turn the defence, get your cross in before the defense can recover, non of which he does, waits for defense to recover, our forwards are marked up result diddly squat, He can't defend to save his life because he thinks he's a good winger and marking back isn't high on his agenda, he was responsible for their equalizer, Oppo knew he couldn't defend for toffee and played on him, A useless showboater Classic wind up. Has to be, Iβm sure your knowledge of the game isnβt that poor. ππ |

Steve Evans may think he's a championship player however he's not performing at that level, Barnsley sussed him out just as I did in our first game at Charlton. He's nowhere near as good as Smyth and he is in the championship where as our guy ain't and never will be How's it going for Smythe at QPR certainties for relegation and can't score a goal The possibilty of QPR going down is not because of Smyth so you lose your argument there. Smyth may or may not score a league goal however he can score international goals, remind me is Graham an international or scored a goal for us |

Ritchieβs opinion on players is certainly more important than any of ours - itβs not a fact however.π Its a fact Ritchie rates him. Thats what I meant. ππ I think Ritchie is possible the best manager for donkey's years and I rate him highly, however he rates Drinan who is possible the most useless forward we've had in a long time, what did he achive yesterday |

Thats what I meant. ππ I think Ritchie is possible the best manager for donkey's years and I rate him highly, however he rates Drinan who is possible the most useless forward we've had in a long time, what did he achive yesterday I've got the impression that Drinan is on to rest Piggott. Also, it might be a "last throw of the dice time for Drinan". Really he needs a leading club in the National League to re-launch his career. He is out of his depth with us now. It seems to me that should Ritchie wish to add a couple or more strengthening players then there will be a few more not able to get a decent run of games. These things happen. I don't think Drinan is "useless". He's done some good work for the club. I just think he's not moved on with the club and it's time for a change. Having witnessed the steady and strong improvement of Piggott and Ruel's performances together, and considering he's been out with a long term injury, I wonder what will happen with Daniel Agyei. Should goals start going in a bit more regularly from now then it might be difficult to fit him into the first team jigsaw. |

Substitutions will sort out who's the best combo. Is it January Agyei is expected back?. |

The forwards and Graham need to go to a restaurant and have a play with the condiment pots. Confucius say: βSome people love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing they know anything about.β How can you talk about nothing? Anyhows, what I meant is they can work out with salt & pepper pots on the table where each player should be in an attack with Graham's crosses from the wing. η解 ? |

How's it going for Smythe at QPR certainties for relegation and can't score a goal The possibilty of QPR going down is not because of Smyth so you lose your argument there. Smyth may or may not score a goal a league however he can score international goals, remind me is Graham an international or scored a goal for us I could score against San Marino |

Would we risk it if our position in the table is "interesting" (relegation threat or playoffs chance)? |

He could come on as a last 15 to 20 mins super sub. When is he expected to be back, anyone know? Any more info on him would be good.
