Whistling past the grave-yard.

I am skirting past the traditional Wingate performance, that's not in the same universe right now.
We need a reality check. SJP, our home performances, we are sticking with a formula which is clearly flawed beyond any help. Wake up!
This afternoon, we were off the pace from the start, doesn't matter we have no midfield. That doesn't resemble a traditional Gary McCann template. No passing, no midfield, no creativity. We've thrown the towel in. Just long balls from the backs to the forwards, devoid of imagination. Bin it!
I timed the players this afternoon. Tingey went 18 minutes without crossing the half-way line - Lee, I gave up..
We are persisting with a system which smacks of desperation. We have no width. The flanks are non-existent.
Today was a complete mess. The reality is we have players of whom should be vying for promotion, our shape at home has disintergrated. We tried a more conventional forward approach at Dulwich. It looked congested.
Forwards need genuine supply, we have the forwards. One goal or one win does not elevate the predicament.
We need calm rational thought. We have yet to establish anything like a persona at home.
The key going forward is how best to unlock our potential. Regretably, today we were as about far from removed from that has was humanly possible. Take stock - we probably have most have what we need.
