Personally think that we set out too defensively, if we'd got right at them early then there was always every sign that they would collapse.

I'd have sacrificed Tillson or the untouchable Taylor in order that Forte could start, Boateng would have to play deeper.

I still wonder if wing backs is our best bet given the players we have.

Pym

O'Shea Martin Croll

Sweeney and Moxey as wing backs (Sweeney hasn't got the body of a wing back however one of the main assets in his game is crossing, Moxey suits the wing back role, whenever he plays as a left back and doesn't get forward he looks half the player).

Taylor Boateng Law

Stockley Forte

It isn't perfect however with the players Taylor seems to want to play I wonder if it's a good option.

Gives us the solidity in midfield whilst playing two up front from the off.

As things stand Taylor seems reluctant to play Boateng as one of two in the middle which I can understand as we do look fragile when we do that, it's tricky fitting Forte and Boateng in.

Both Pym and Croll lacked determination when trying to deal with the danger. 2 bad goals to concede

Our first goal was a shocker from Yeovil's point of view.

Quite true - I'm surprised our resident glovesman guru hasn't seen fit to comment yet. That keeper had limper wrists than Larry Grayson :D

Always liked 'lettuce hands' as a descriptor

Nice one. Saved for future reference.

PS: But just "lettuce pray" that our Pate-stir doesn't pick up on that description.

I've seen a figure of 1428 as the City support yesterday. Anyone able to confirm?
