Unless Jim and the players are able to find a way we are in for another potential bore fest. Tamworth have no obligation to entertain and following a few early season thrashings tend to set up to frustrate, a method that has brought them some success recently and which inevitably works against our slow possesion based style. To avoid the usual depressing sonario against this type of team surely Jim sees the need to start the game hard and fast and keep going forward even if we are fortunate to score early. For once I would like to see the oppostion defenders have a torrid time instead of sitting back comfortably while we pass nonchalontly around the edge of the area. I would love to be pleasantly surprised but I suppose in all honesty I am steeled for more frustration.

Will Buckley was such a great player. He's never mentioned much when we are reminiscing about our best X1's but he was a joy to watch - one of our few successes to go on and play in the Premier League.
Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10
Strangely enough after my post on the D&R match thread I didnāt bother with the long journey to Spotland for this. So canāt really comment on the game. However it is easy to say the sending off changed the game, they always do. frequently the team down to 10, like ourselves at Gateshead gain more resilience and it can be hard to make the most of the numerical advantage. So credit to the team for comprehensively taking advantage last night. Where do we go from here, well we are all kept guessing with this team lately. I was pleased to see Rodders on the scoresheet. Feel MIitchellās time will come if only the team can create a couple of chances for him. UTD
glad that we scored 3 but the lack of goals will, unless addressed, cost us any chance of the play-offs. As a good rule of thumb - the teams looking at promotion average 2 goals a game. The teams facing relegation average 1 goal a game. Anything in between means, well, you end up somewhere in the middle.
So - after 22 games 1st Barnet 46 goals 2nd York 44 goals 3rd FGR 39 goals (off 1 game less) 4th Gateshead 41 goals
At the bottom 21st Braintree 19 goals 22nd Maidenhead 27 goals 23rd Boston 19 goals 24th Ebbsfleet 16 goals
We are on 31 goals scored (or 1.5 a game). Not good enough for promotion, safe from relegation. Maybe we have enough for the play-offs, but as the season goes on I think the lack of goals will see us drop out. And even if we did manage to sneak in, one of those teams scoring much more goals would be more likely to go up IMO.
The issue for me is that we simply do not create enough chances to address this issue, even if the personnel gets changed around and we brought in more forwards. McNulty doesn't seem to know what to have the players do once they get into the final third. The way we play needs to change and I'd be very surprised to see that happen McNulty is stubborn in sticking to his 'philosophy' which like someone else posted reminds me very much of BBM, and we saw how that played out.
Cannot complain about the result especially scoring 3 goals and a clean sheet. The National League table looks a little better this morning.
Tamworth workmanlike (at best) but unlucky not to take the lead 1-0 when down to 10 men.
We will never know if we would have found the key to unlocking the Tamworth defence if they had 11 players on the pitch. It certainly looked hard work breaking them down for extended periods.
Loving 3 points, back in the playoffs and another home game on Saturday to go and repeat the win.
I dont enjoy the tactics, its too slow and laborious and just when you think we will really up the tempo the game slows again. I have accepted its different and i do think every player is committed to the cause and gives 100%. Whether this brings back a few hundred who sit on the fence i doubt but its not changing.
Winning helps... Lets beat Boston and go for another shot at 3 wins from 3 on Boxing day.. something we have struggled to do (Only once?) all season.
Nothing in this league.. with some ruthlessness a playoff spot should be there for the taking.

Wasnāt pretty but got the job done. Need to be better though as I feel it could have been a different story without that red card. A better team would have punished us in that game for the lack of ruthlessness infront of goal until the sending off. Keep the ball well just donāt do anything with it
I remember well the online dummy spit about the Buckley ādiveā from the buckets. Right up there with the biffos crying about the postponement the other week. Comedy clubs.

Not sure your obsession with theā BIFFOS ā is healthy
