    Phil B may think his team will win the next 5 and expect us to bottle it. While we are the best team we too reliant on the ability of a couple to win. Lets hope they stay fit

    indeed it would be a cruel fluke –
    i’m still worried we will lose out on GD. Listening post Southport AB and Clunan don’t seem too concerned. I assume we are hoping Buxton will take points of Kiddy and we beat Radcliffe. Dangerous.
    Curzon and Spenny tricky home games for both and they wont beat our result. I’d be so much more relaxed with a better GD.

    Of the 12 draws we would have been better off pushing for a win and losing 4 but winning 4.
    Play with the Slot view, sometimes you have to risk losing to win. Taken too many ‘a good point’ towards our total.
    Might be out total isn’t enough! The 2 games this week are pivotal, we need 6 points and hope Brackley don’t get 6. And if we don’t extend out lead at Kiddy net week then play off’s again!

    interesting watching Newcastle. Didn’t get put off from a fast start or change approach even after going a goal behind. And when they take the lead none of this settle down, take the sting out the game rubbish.
    Nope keep on on going forward while you are on top.

    sounds like another team who will sit in frustrate us and try and nick one Match preview, AB interview #1 “we’ve had them watched, hard working team with a threat. The lads have been briefed, we will aim to nullify their threat (of an ave of 1 goal/game scored). Why not take a risk perhaps start at pace on the front foot and keep it going for, oh i don’t know 90 mins!! A league with no dominant team and we haven’t stepped up.

    more than disappointing. Our failure to impose and beat poor teams will cost us the title. Same points who ever you beat. Yet we continue with the ‘Rushall mind set’ which started way back against Warrington, Oxford, Radcliffe etc at home. Pressure mounts to have to win the ‘tougher’ fixtures.

    with the exception of Roberts they are all limited. He is the only player we have who could cut it at FL level

    He isn’t Whitehall. Not sure why the moaning about him. We improved playing with him today from Tue. We scored one goal with him on the pitch one with him off the pitch. Judge players on what you see, he had decent game and agree with AB post match.
    And Mo and Carlton were used in a different way to hit them on the break as they pushed up in the last 15.

    The subs weren’t the ones who switched off to allow their second. I thought Carlton and Fadera helped us to defend as it meant their defenders had to be on their toes and not push out and camp in in our box. We had numerous decent breaks when a better ball would have set up a decent chance, i think one time Scales had 3 in the middle and didn’t find any, we hit the bar (which if it was Beck his detractor’s would have called it a sitter), Beck won more free kicks than Whitehall (who the ref wasn’t going to give any to). I’d rather watch us keep the pressure on them and be entertained than sit back and invite pressure. Sometimes you have to risk losing to win. We had more opportunities to score a 4th than they did to equalise. I’ll settle for that each week.

    same old same old – tough game according to AB.
    2-2 after been 2 up, AB starts to sit back, defensive subs inviting pressure, equalise in added time.
    Post match interview individual error not a tactical one, work in progress, battling draw against team above us, look ahead to another tough game Sat will try to make up ground, though i didn’t realise how far behind we are!! Perhaps risking losing trying to win is an option

    overslept and ended up watching MOTD – interesting comment my a pundit about Liverpool, who are dominating the premier league, (same way we hoped we would NLN!!?).
    “Liverpool risk losing in trying to win”
    Something perhaps AB should consider? We may avoid all these dull home draws. But then every game we face is difficult one against well organised teams. No doubt a battling draw with in form Brackley he’ll be happy with as we slip further down the table.

    ends up 7 – shows our inability to match the endeavour or management of ‘lesser’ teams. We will limp into the play-off with this mindset.

    if the team get all the way there perhaps they could bring Liam McAlinden back with them. Looked decent last year, for the short term better than Fishburn

    we are told every week no easy games!!!
    More based on our lack of playing to our potential most weeks. Set up not to lose rather than win.
    Then when we do – Kings Lynn and great stuff.

    were we playing free flowing attacking football in the 2ns half? No. We were defending from the front to maintain an impressive 3-0 win? He did a job for the team, as did all the subs. A team that won 3-0.
    Not sure i noticed Williams in the attacking 1/3 that often, but he helped keep it to nil.
    Enjoy a good performance and a win. It wasn’t Alfreton or Hereford

    As said he did a job and did it pretty well. We weren’t in free flowing attack mode 2nd half!! He won the ball, kept it/laid it off, flicked it it on.
    I view it from Kings Lynn point of view, Whitehall taken off and its Beck an experienced forward not Fishburn or Carlton out of position taking his place. Kept their defence honest and defending. Yes it would be nice if another forward scores but winning is fine.

    We sign a player who is a success at another club playing a certain way. We then play him in a different way and are surprised at the outcome!! I’d be more concerned if Beck was heading crosses off target yet to see him get a cross put in to him. We hit long balls to him and no one is playing up with him. Same with Carlton, a scoring winger and we ask to be a striker! Only now is he playing wide in a 3.
    We are confused understanding AB’s weekly change in style, formation and players. These simple players (no insult we are at NLN) want to be a round peg in a round hole, have no chance. Recent example AB plays Whitehall (good No.9) as a No.10. From the start of the season ABs instance that full backs can be wing backs. Judge players when they asked to do the job they are here to do. Butler is no genius coach and neither are the players good enough to adapt. Keep it simple and have a style that suits and get good at it by playing it week after week.
