The club has stated that there are funds available for loans.
We have seen a shedload of points cast away recently – certainly enough to have cost us promotion already.
We have needed a ‘presence’ in CM all season – just winning a few headers alone in the centre would make a huge positive change to performances.
The forward line relies so very heavily on Whitehall.
Clearly, we are currently a leader short and Carlton is nowhere close to full match fitness.
Yes, Fishburn is progressing nicely but he cannot carry the whole world on his shoulders. We are asking too much of the lad.
The time to act – isn’t now – it was six weeks ago.3 users thanked author for this post.
Managers who do not adjust where their side is failing will always be prime targets for the boot.

Ta, IB.

Yes but if we pull our WBs deeper and revert to lumping the ball upfield – we shall be able to emulate the dizzy heights of most games in the last six weeks or so.
Play as if we mean it and Radcliffe will be shoved aside.
Your call, AB.2 users thanked author for this post.
Has AB discovered the hidden formula which makes the very best of his preferred formation? I do hope so.
Carlton being part of the setup is starting to look positive; Fishburn keeps on improving; Beestin back in CM makes a great deal of sense – Cass making good points.
Am feeling more optimistic than I’ve felt in a good few weeks.2 users thanked author for this post.
I am not convinced that we have any genuine WBs in the squad. We do have FBs, however, and we should use them as such.

Awesome start to the season. Sussed early on. (Predictable.) Adjustments desperately needed. Adjustments not forthcoming. Managerial belief hardens into becoming wholly inflexible.
At current rate, we are unlikely to make the playoffs – not even close.
A season being wasted but at least the early season points should mean that we won’t be in any relegation trouble.1 user thanked author for this post.
I got accused of ‘talking garbage’ in September for having the nerve to point out the many deficiencies and how we’d inevitably be a-tumblin’ down the table.

Inflexibility rules?

The system is not getting the best out of the players.
I wasn’t there but it sounded as if all three CBs gifted a goal to Southport, according to Torps.
We need a simpler system which ordinary players can cope with.6 users thanked author for this post.
Last night perhaps showed that it is more the way you play rather than the system itself.
WBs pushed 15 – 20 yards further forward. For the first time in weeks we had a bit of space to work in.
I agree about Fishburn – his best game for the club and by a margin.
Welcome back Carlton!
Clunan was simply super.
Even so, we made hard work of a pretty basic task, at times.
Nicholson lost the ball very badly on two occasions – and could have cost us.
Southport will be tougher.2 users thanked author for this post.
I have long argued against having too many loan players at the club. That does not mean none whatsoever.
Youngsters can be the greatest potential risk, IMHO. Can we not borrow a player or two for a month with a view to extending their stay if they help to improve us?
That should not be too costly if it all goes pear shaped.2 users thanked author for this post.
… playing some nice free flowing football that’s effective & productive …
No. Sorry Rene I don’t understand.1 user thanked author for this post.
Get Carlton fit?
What is the problem with the lad?1 user thanked author for this post.
