[Lord Stiffupperlip]

Unfortunately, the defeat yesterday followed a pattern which is becoming depressingly common.
'We didn't deserve to lose'. 'We could have won'. 'We should have won'
It's natural to blame the team but how much is due to our predictable game plan, which never changes win, draw or lose.
Our League 1 opponents know exactly how we play. They analyse our strengths & our weaknesses.
They've learnt that if they press our back line, we'll make mistakes or revert to the long ball.
If they mark Kee & Smyth closer than a duck's a***, they'll nullify our attack.
Fleetwood just added a bit of gbh to the mix yesterday to make doubly sure.
It was clear by half-time we were struggling to combat Barton's game-plan, but no changes were made until the 73rd minute.
Yes, a few of our players are struggling to step up to League 1 level. Perhaps the same can be said of the management?
