Not familiar with those ones Stiffy, but I take your point..( which is more than our football team can manage
)Too much quality missing in key positions for me. No proper spine to the team. Doolan certainly doesn't know or is able to play his best eleven. Perhaps it is too early to judge. Results in next 5 games will now be crucial to how the season pans-out.
I've asked this a lot and don't seem to get a proper answer.
It aso seems to get washed over in the Manager's interviews.
What injury has Whalley sustained and what is the prognosis ?
I might have missed the answer.

Doolan said before Cheltenham that he wasn’t worried because we were creating chances. Time for him to worry then, because we did not create awt at Cheltenham, the only chance a wayward cross that dropped onto the crossbar.
He also said that “we believe in what we are doing”. I wonder what that is, cause I don’t believe in it. There is no quality in midfield, mainly because we don’t have one. With five at the back and Coyle an inch and a half ahead of the centre back trio, what else can you do but hoof a long ball up for someone to chase?
Doolan may not be worried, but he should be, and I am very worried.

I can understand why our manager “washes over” specific injuries to specific players.
From what I understand, he has a quad strain/injury but, if that’s true, I don’t know which of the six muscles are involved.

I too am very worried Greger mainly because so far this season appears to being a rerun of last season with the managers comments after a game seeming to be again a rerun of last seasons interviews. It has been said before on here this season "there is no Morecambe or Carlisle to save us this season".
We all know where the problem lies - it's our inability to score goals.
After over 9 hours of league football we've only managed 3.
This is a serious problem which, if unresolved, will eventually become fatal.
The crazy thing is, after gifting Cheltenham a goal after 2 minutes, we enjoyed approaching 70% possession in the first half-hour.
Yet that domination was wasted based on our pathetic single goal attempt in 96 minutes of play.
This fact leads me to conclude there is a fundamental flaw in the way the team are coached
There are fans who refuse to accept hard facts, making light of defeats and hoping that things will improve.
I bet the fans of Carlisle & Morecambe held those same hopes last season.
So much for hope!

I agree with you. What should Doolan do?
I don't know the answer to that.
What I do know is that his current methods aren't producing results.
We escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth last season and after the results against the Shrews & Cheltenham we look odds-on candidates for the drop.
The return of Whalley & Rawson could make the difference.
The sooner the better
