Positive Thoughts only!

I'd agree with you to a certain extent - barracking the players is counter productive, however I think the manager deserves all the abuse he gets.

To me its pointless saying we will win the next game. With our injuries. Mcgavin is suspended, we look weaker than ever.

They have Saal and Seager up front who trust me are way better than we can put out in the striking department, and we all know that we are even worse on plastic pitches.

One point out of 18 for the home team but theres every chance we will lose this as well.

We all want to cheer the team on but it will get harder and harder as the poor results mount up! I don’t have an issue if the players we have aren’t exactly out of the top drawer either, we’ve had some fairly ordinary ones over the years! But, it’s what appears to be a lack of effort that gripes! Is this an indication that GJ hasn’t just lost elements of the crowd but at least some of the players too?

A comment above mentions the players responding to someone else shouting at them.... may be another manager wouldn’t be one of the shouting variety?

(There is a post elsewhere concerning Marshall indicating to the dugout that he was unable to run due to his injury. Johnson then left him on. When Marshall came off he apologised to the manager for being able to stay on, went to shake Johnsons hand and he was completely blanked by the little twerp.)

Just to clarify, I was just behind the dugout and Marshall was asking for Deep Heat, not to come off. And I also saw Johnson acknowledge Marshall with a low hand tap when he came off. No problem with criticism, but preferably accurate criticism!

With Yeovil romping this league, now 13 points clear of us. we need to make a massive effort to finish preferably 2nd or 3rd ( could still get two home play off games finishing 3rd if 2nd team loses semi as Dartford did last season) Dont think we'll do it unless we strengthen defence and midfield and I don't mean young, inexperienced loanees.

On the bright side; 17 games played, 26 still to play, 87 points available for the Gulls to win. That means a total of 115 points is possible by the end of the season and 115 points should be enough to win this league.

The power of positivity. COYY.

29 to play Vick.

With my "positive" head on, I predict a 2-1 victory this weekend. I fully expect Yeovil to rest several first choice players. On the other hand we have to play our new additions to cover for the "crocks".

The league reamains our priority but the tile is gone, so we are aiming for second spot.

[aggrey_25]

any player rumours or is that too much to expect, surely we must be close to getting a forward!!

[aggrey_25]

yeovil signed another loan

[Midlandgull]

Current injuries:

Halstead (Can't be far off a return now?)
Lovett (Similar to Halstead shouldn't be out for too long?)
Dan Martin (how far off is Dan, not seen him for a while?)
Lapslie (wasn't it a gash on the leg, surely not too long?)
Marshall (could be back)
Jarvis (Xmas?)
Dolan (didn't feature v Havant, but hopefully available again)
Dawson (Xmas?)

If we can get all those back and keep everyone else fit, we have a good side for this level. I would like us to stop playing 4-4-2 though and get 3 in the middle of the park with a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3

[portugull]

Lapslie is a Hamstring issue.

Yeovil don't have the largest of squads, so expect limited players rotation from them. On the other hand we have a cup tided player.

Lovin' Vicks post!
Nice!

Have to do without Ethon Archer, he's cup tied.

[rivieratouch]

Halstead still out as the concussion protocols had to be restarted due to his lack of progress. No news on Lovett, so it might be young Filip in nets at the weekend
