This possession and pressing game is sooooo boring. Boring. Boring. How is it that it’s become the fashionable way to play? I wanna be entertained for my tenner not bored to tears.  |  |

Post more.
And ATP’s done well to avoid a downvote for his brazen post about you. |
Don't worry, he knows full well that if I have an opportunity to dig out the Courteeners and Gerry Cinnamon in one sentence then I'm going to take it  .
Despite that, totally agree about posting more. Cracking post. |  |

Very true, we’ve had many long debates about his lack of appreciation for good music. Tend to agree on football in the most part, though!
Cheers Shun. |  | | |

I see that the club have put out a tweet asking fans to back the team. |  | | |

They are done before every game, but with a different soundbite each time. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

Playing 2 defensive midfielders from the start (Morley and MJ Williams ) makes us into a 4-2 -3- 1 formation.
When teams press on our back 4 (as Wrexham did) it becomes a 6-0-3-1 formation.
The gap between the 6 and the rest is either too far for passing football, or the 3-1 end up playing in our own half. Neither is good.
It took Wrexham 45 minutes to suss this out at their place, 15 minutes at Spotland. Portsmouth will need about 30 seconds if we do the same on Saturday.
Hope we go back to a 4-1.
p.s. Yes, we kept a clean sheet on Tuesday but it was awful. |
Morley at the start of the season was pressing forward and scoring some great goals. My theory is that when the possession football was being found out and the defensive crisis began we reverted to playing more defensively. This has had the knock on affect of breaking forward less effectively and allowing opposition teams to get players back quickly. |  |
