I don't expect an easy game for the Pilgrims tonight. BPA lost their first two games but have not lost since and have recently beaten Telford and drew against the unbeaten Solihull on Saturday. Won't be too disheartened if it's a draw, especially as we are yet to beat anyone in the top 14 places in the league this season.
Admiration is growing for the management team, however, particularly after Saturday when they realised things weren't really working and changed things around with a positive outcome. Would like to see us stick with three up front as if BPA do have a weakness, it looks like it's in their defence as no team in the league has conceded more goals than they have.
DL
It will be tough DL, no doubt about that and a few more to come in the next 5,6 games or so. But I question you're three forwards remark, have done all season. The majority of the time, with two of those playing so deep, to me, we are more accurately playing 4-5-1. Interesting to know what others feel on that one. It only becomes more like three up front when we get Miller on the ball, which then allows Newsh, SWD and sometimes our centre mid the time to get forward far more often, and that's where we all like seeing them. It also suggests that we could be better served having Timms feeding the full backs more regularly and over some of his gigantic clearances. Personally I also don't feel we need the 6' type midfield player DG suggested, we have ball winners don't we? I would prefer to see a very mobile and hopefully creative addition, because despite scoring in most games, on examination how many clear cut chances for those 'front three' are we actually creating, one area against the better teams, we may need to improve on.
A win tonight though, and it's surely possible, we could move into the top three and we will no doubt all start getting very dizzy if that happens. Cant wait.
