What a difference a functional centre forward makes. Take that away and it all falls apart completely. Today was a graphic demonstration of this. Stockley and to a much lesser extent Bonne have fucked our entire season
And something that was pointed out by virtually everyone on here even before the season started. The fact that at Wycombe the fans were chanting to Sandgaard "sign a striker" when he came over to the away end before the match speaks volumes. The club didn't & we've suffered ever since.

Not forgetting a left back, Golfie. The failure of this season is Sandgaards.
We have one Central striker where the the 4-3-3 will work. Just seen that Leaburn went off at HT as a precaution as he had a tight hamstring; that would explain why Kanu didn't play with Miles in a 3 with Rak Sakyi.
Both Campbell and Kanu are on a learning curve at 18. Not sure if our fan/critics really understand this. They think all young players will be like Paul Walsh, Lookman, Shelvey, Gomez etc and be on it every week.
Really pleased for Dean Holden as he has a mid table team and it's important that we beat the teams around and below us. Dean is so honest that he have given credit to Anthony Hayes for the first half tactics.
When I said Hector will either be a cult hero or a disaster; pleased to say it could be the former if he wants to stay or Cafc want him to stay.
Really impressive first half, but their half time subs helped them whereas we ended up playing the B team.
I thought Inniss was immense in the first half, and am surprised to see him scoring 6s on the marks thread. He won everything in the air, and his passing was spot on. He makes a good combo with Hector who also looked very good today. Hector went down looking quite dazed after a collision just before half time. He got up, and a few seconds later sliced the ball wildly into our goal’s side netting. Perhaps could have taken a bit longer to recover.
Clare hit a lovely ball over the top for Rak-Sakyi to set up Miles’ goal. More tap ins for our strikers please.
Was that the shortest match thread? Ten pages is hardly anything.
I was only copying clubs tweets and BBC live. Unfortunately both clubs do not give much information. But I did notice there were fewer comments from others
Different thread I know but this will get more views....
@Sage will be pleased with the goalscorer for Everton just now. And to think Gallen didn't have a clue about Simms. Seems our scouting doesn't go further than the M25.
Comfortable first half against an appalling Cambridge team. Less than comfortable second half as we sat back and dropped our guard. If we could play our best for the full 90 minutes we'd have a decent team. We so rarely do though.
Nice day out. Grandson enjoyed first away game and first half we looked good. Second half I thought we got a sloppy for a period and maybe a bit complacent. Do hope we can finish the season strong. What was Egbo doing in the Charlton end. Got a nice photo with Jack!
I'm not getting what that sticker is about. If that makes any sense to the youngsters, I think for me it should go on the 'things that make you feel old' thread.
It looks like a bloke in a gimp suit standing in front of his nan's hideous old table cloth: Reminded me of this, in a way:
AWOL today, visiting relatives and celebrating a birthday, but watching the updates on the latest score and without any other knowledge, the stats seemed to show a game of two halves, with Cambridge edging the second half after we dominated the first?. Looking forward to watching the highlights, but another good three points won on the road, I do like the white kit I must say, and well done to everyone who travelled, on to Wycombe Saturday,...

Livening up the mens bogs, all over England.
"Leaburn was replaced by starlet Kanu"
Starlet ????? Wtf ??
The kids done nothing. Scored for the reserves but is a kid playing a mans game and looks well out of his depth. He is certainly no Shelvey or Gomez.
So please dont try to idolise him too soon.

what’s wrong with a good old fashioned glory hole?
COYR
Cambridge are a terrible team and the ref, well what a completely useless tosser.

In the last five games the bottom six have (cumulatively) played 30 games, won 3, drawn 8 and lost 19. That's 17 points from 90.
MKD are in a mini-run of these games, home to Morecambe next.
