Seems with one point from the twelve available, when we’ve played Eastleigh in this league, we’re still not adapting to National League football.
What is it we’re doing wrong or not doing.
Answer appears to be, from the write ups, we lack anticipation, we’re not reacting to what’s going on around us. Yesterday we conceded from three set pieces, now I would read that as conceding directly from the first touch after the dead ball situation, as a result of a header say. But we’re not it’s the second ball situation we’re not dealing with.
This is typically pools as it is happening all over the field, we’re not winning many if any second balls. We’re not switched on, alert or planning ahead and thinking ‘what might happen if...’ we just try to deal with the first situation and basically react to the consequences which as we seen yesterday was Loach retrieving the ball from the net.
We’re five points off fifth bottom, that’s how tight it is from mid table to the final ‘safe’ spot. We need to be better but for whatever reason this squad doesn’t even look like play off material never mind automatic promotion. We’ve not improved [much] in the time we’ve been here.
We need to move forward but can we do it with this set of players?
Five games left, we are nowhere near the pretendy playoffs, next year something similar may just seal our fate as a non league club, three consecutive seasons and we’ll be here for a while longer, we’ll just settle in and accept it, some [of the players] already have.
