Ling is doing an amazing job

Sometimes watfordo you talk a lot of sense ,it's a shame some of our other warriors don't get on board but some just love controversy !

Behind the scenes he is doing OK most of the time. Best he stays behind the scenes.

Don’t think Ling is on the Board.  The title Director doesn’t automatically mean a Board Director.

I Think Ross has enough on his plate without Board meetings where much of the stuff will have little to do with team matters.  

I just jumped to a conclusion, on reflection l'm sure you're right.

Kent, Nigel and his son, Matt Porter, Richard Emmett and Marshall Taylor comprise the board according to the O’s website.

Quite well!  

I think they are going very well.  I know we can bemoan silly dropped points, but I dare say every team can make the same claim.  All very tight in the league but who can criticise with us being a few points off the top.  Plus lots of talk about the expectation of a good second half of the season.

For the first time I am really believing a play off spot is possible, rather than previously just being hopeful.

The one downside.  Our performances and style of play are generally as boring as hell.  But whilst the points keep rolling in that can be overlooked.

Roll on the next game.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind possession football.  I could even see what Davies was trying to do, he just didn’t have the players to make it work.  The Ross style is not a million miles off the Davies style.  Two managers cut form the same cloth, except our squad is a little bit better now.

But possession with a purpose.  We all too often dick about at the back, no doubt trying to tempt opponents forward, then Happe launches a punt down field to Wilkinson or we pass it to Brophy who chooses not to attack defenders with his pace but goes so far then passes back.

The Lingbackto jibe on the other forum sums it up.  Not just Ling.  probing or clueless?  Fine line.

I would like to see us work the flanks more.  Brophy and Wilkinson certainly have the skill.  But with Brophy now nailed on at LB we have lost that edge down one side.  I know all this “Brophy at LB gives him the opportunity to run into space at defenders”.  But fact is he just don’t very much.

So how do we move it forward into dangerous positions?  Brophy can’t, Ling don’t have the skills.  Through the the middle, No joy there Saturday.  It was interesting that our goal Saturday came from an Akinola cross.  Our CB getting forward, as did Happe, because nobody else seems to be able to, Jobi apart and he can’t do everything.

Hope the new guy adds some real creativity in midfield. We need it.

We showed Morecambe the ability to score despite our "shortcomings".The way to win is score more goals than your opponents.Leave the rest to the poets as Jose put it.

We won’t get lucky too often like we did Saturday, a late OG winner.  Should have been two down before then.  Morecambe showed they couldn’t score, except in their own net.  Our game needs to increase our chances of winning, by creating chances.

I’ll take a result over a performance any day.  But some entertainment now and then too would be nice.
