....we don't draw a non-league side at home in the FA Cup because we will not win. We can never beat these struggling non-entities. D+G were the worst side to come to Saltergate since Basingstoke and they turned us over.

As I said we have a problem beating teams at home. Sort it Richardson or we can look forward to another season in this Dog-Eared Division.

I agree 4 home wins in 2007 is not good enough.

I agree we have a problem at home and it isn't only this season and it needs sorting asap but D&G did not turn us over,they had a spell after they scored and yes they could have won it but we murdered them,we failed to take our chances.

we should have four home wins already this season. full stop.

we are just so lucky that everyones beating each other. i cant believe we are fourth. theres only mk dons that are consistent so far. we seem to beat a decent team (peterborough, shrewsbury etc). then come unstuck with the likes of barnet and d&g!

That would be that useless shower of Bunkum that sit one place behind us on goal difference at this stage

Don't forget the tremendous 4 away wins we've had this season already.I'm as sick as a dog to drop home points again when we should have had a bucketfull of goals. We would have won if Robertson hadn't messed it up on the halfway line ( thats 2 bad games for him on the trot).I'd drop Robertson and play Lowry and Picken at fullbacks, Ward, Niven,Leven & Felix in midfield, with Fletch and Jack up front.BRing on the Darlo for our 5th away win.

very naive to blame Robertson. Leven ( i think) broke one of the golden rules of the tactics manual - throw the ball forwards or backwards, but never across the pitch. It's very easy for the receiving player to get caught in possession, all our other players are in forward positions, and the opposition get time and space to get a good pass in under no pressure.

Good spot, D&G (Dolce and Gabbana) are an italian division 2 team I think. Always immaculately dressed though.

We can take individual games and dissect them but the sad truth is that even with our expensive strikeforce we're still not killing teams off whilst we're in the ascendancy. It's a problem that's dogged us for some seasons now and sooner or later folk are gonna correlate Richardson's time coaching the team with that problem.

To be fair i struggle to come up with a satisfactory explanation or way to address the problem, the only consistant failing that occurs to me is a lack of penetration from central midfield. Thinking back i can't remember the last time a player of that position actually attacked the box or got in front of one of our strikers in an attempt to score. And i'm talking about past seasons aswell as this one.

Ok we're fourth in the league and the current win-draw-win-draw scenario will probably see us promoted. The concern is though that sooner or later the away wins will dry up and if we continue to fail at home our position will deteriorate.

Worst of all is the thought that this is just a repeat of previous years when we've done well through the late summer and early autumn only to fall away as the season progresses.

Will they also correlate our splendid away displays with Rico's time coaching the team?. We've killed off loads of teams whilst we have been in the ascendancy - just not at home yet.
And, of course, we all know what will happen - when we start dropping points away, we will start winning at home. Funny game, in't it.

Our expensive strike force yesterday was actually an expensive striker and three inexperienced youngsters, with another returning after a layoff. We were talking at half time yesterday about ambition - what I would like to see is the retirement into fulltime coaching for Chief, and an experienced replacement brought in to share duties with Fletch.

In the first-half we had seven shots from in or round the box. Only Lowry and Lester forced a save. Lowry also missed the target twice, as did Rooney, while Lester beat everyone twice before his shot was saved.

I wonder whether that all came down to coaching?

All fair points and please don't take my comments as an anti-Richardson rant. I was talking in general terms but stand by the idea that if we continue to see a problem that is not addressed - like the inability to kill off sides, something we've had to endure for a number of seasons now - sooner or later those responsible should be asked serious questions.

And whilst we all celebrate our recent upturn in away form, home results mean the vast majority of Town fans i speak to are still far from convinced about our true promotion credentials.

It wasnt about the luck, it was about our inability to score more than one goal because we was trying to walk it into net. In the end Dagenham couldve won the game and our defense was really shaky, especially Kovacs. Lester was being to flaming cocky to just try and walk it into the net.

PS If my typing looks Bunkum, its because ive had a few drinks.

Totally agree Dim; the throw put Robertson under pressure immediately, forcing him to run across the pitch with opposition players closing him down, so if anybody is daft enough to suggest dropping a player for making one mistake it has to be whoever took the throw. Another point is that losing possession on the halfway line shouldn't result in your defence being opened up by one simple pass; our defenders had gone to sleep because the game was so easy for them, and that is why Knill is going on about concentration in todays DT.
