We have now conceded more goals than every other team in the top 10 other than Plymouth Argyle.

Becoming a familiar story. Sounded like we were destroying them for 25 mins, but not many real chances and nothing to show for our dominance, then a goal against the run of play and it sounded like we fell apart. Culminating in some comedy defending right at the end to concede another.

So frustrating especially after last week as they were solid!

One of the main reasons we thumped Arygle last week was due to the work Bowman and Lee Martin did.
I like them as a pair but their current rate of 9 goals in 31 league appearances isn't going to get us promoted.

Looks like Lee Martin is the scapegoat this season despite having been one of our best players.

At the end of the day if you don't put the ball in the back of the net and you're playing up front, regardless of whether you're out of position or not, then of course the finger is going to be pointed at you.

We have been in the top two for most of the season, the wheels have come off recently because we have been conceding goals for fun.

Mainly away not at home? Something ain't right?

What about the rest of the team ??

Lee Martin didn't play at Scunthorpe, we were poor and lost 3 - 1.

I'm not saying he's the best player in the world, I'm saying he isn't the only one to blame when we are losing, we won 4 - 0 last week, he didn't score yet I didn't hear much from you about him.

We are a one trick pony and are not versatile enough. Need to find another way to play. Incidentally i think it is not a coincidence that we struggle at this time if the year.
