Re: Daggers match thread

We all want the team to do well but there are basic things that Leam is not getting right at the minute in terms of tactics and choice of personnel. Central midfield is very rarely changed and this is one of our major issues in terms of why we are losing so many games. What has Hatfield got to do get a start?

Our passing attacking football which has served us so well has disappeared and the players seem afraid of retaining the ball and trying to link up play with other players. The passing game is our major strength so why do we not play to this strength, the longer we carry on with this tactic the less fans will come on, who would pay to watch poor football especially when we are not winning games. Wilson was totally outclassed in the first half of the Dagenham game and yet there was no change made to that side of defence, Molyneux should be further up the pitch and he is being wasted at left back, he has a great left foot and has the ability to take on defenders and put crosses in so why not play him on the left wing?

The players seemed like they didn't care and there seemed a lack of effort from some of the players against Dagenham, maybe that was the reason the players were booed off. I hope that Leam can get some more new faces in especially for central midfield and I would like someone with managerial experience to be brought in to assist Leam as I think it will do him the world of good. Whether this is realistic or not I don't know but it may be a worthwhile investment if it helps to keep us up.

The run that we are on has echoes of Macclesfield last season when they went on a very bad run and ultimately sent them down to the Conference. We have 3 big games coming up and really need to get some points from them, otherwise I fear we may end up going down.

I would like to see us switch formation to see if that can improve performances, we could play a midfield diamond or even 4-3-3.

One line-up could be:

Belford,

Hunt, Winnard, Liddle, Wilson

Miller, Murphy, Hatfield

Boco, Beattie, Molyneux

Or as a 4-4-2

Belford,

Hunt, Winnard, Liddle, Wilson

Lindfield, Murphy, Miller, Molyneux

Boco, Beattie
