Goal Difference

[mushRTID]

+ 7.

Not very good for a side chasing automatics.

If this promotion race is going to be as tight as its looking, goal difference is not going to help us.

Kind of reflects the team. Grants assembled a team of workers and grinders in the main. Not enough creativity to score bundles of goals.

[mushRTID]

Agreed. We don’t seem to flow.
Grant talks many times about killing games off when we get a goal.
Chesterfield did that tonight.
We seem to make hard work of it.

With too many inexperienced players it’s understandable when a well honed team like Chesterfield set about making fools of them . Maxwell Crew Street and Kelly were pointless and ineffective. We need character and strength and we have weak and invisible when the going gets rough !!

[GazLaz]

Street is dreadful. Thought Crew and Kelly were our best players first half.

Gibson gets stick from most but he’s a class above Street and Ennis as wingers go.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Street was poor tonight but he'd been good up to then.

We could have scored 6 tonight, but some really poor finishing.  Defense and tactics really just didn't work tonight but we created loads, another day that game finishes 6-5 to someone...

It is quite a rare thing for us to have a really good goal difference.

The distribution of the 7 goals seas wrong wasn’t it. 4-3 3-4 probably more realistic.

We've struggled to be creative and clinical in the final third all season . If we could sort that out I'd be a lot more confident of a top three finish

im glad someone else is thinking this. Thought it was just me. Street got a good goal the other day but his general play is disappointing. He looks a wee bit clumsy and is very reactive. Doesn’t seem to anticipate much. Has a ten bob head too. Hope it’s early days.
I can’t form much of an opinion on Ennis. Don’t know what he’s all about. Hoping it’s early days also but are they an upgrade on what we already have? Doubtful at this juncture.

Street just hasn’t got any qualities you would associate with a winger apart from pace. Probably because he isn’t one and hasn’t played there since he was a kid I believe.

Street on the left is a strange choice. A bit like Faal last year. Feels like trying to shoe horn him in.

I can see how he would be an alternative to Ironside off the bench, or someone to play in a front two and run in behind.

[Padge_DRFC]

Maybe play Street up top

Agree on the comments re Gibson. If he ever went 4231 I think he'd do a decent job in the middle of the 3. I mean we've played Clifton there who's best attribute is running.

I thought when he signed Street that he was going to go 3-5-2 and have him in a rotation with Molyneux partnering one of Ironside/Sharp.
Then have Senior at LCB and Maxwell at wingback.
Might have to be an option still if teams successfully follow Chesterfield’s attacking blueprint.

For me, one of our best performances of the season was the win at Valley Parade. Jack Senior played in a back 3 (with Maxwell as a wing back) and had a superb game. I think he's been unfortunate not to feature more, especially while Maxwell isn't at his best.

Absolutely, HR. The performance of the season for me. I don't know why GM had to change it.

I'm no technical expert on formations, but Kyle Hurst seemed to play in a central attacking role behind Billy. 3-4-1-2? Whatever it was, it worked.
