I thoroughly enjoyed Saturday, but I can’t help but wonder why we seem to be able to turn it on for ‘big games’ but have been dire most of the time for the past couple of seasons. Surely our management team needs to sort this out, and get us fired up for ‘lesser’ games |  |

It's a head scratcher, for sure, but when you look at it apart from the result, our first half performance was pretty dire, even against the standard of opposition
I was sat in my usual ST seat but sat next door was a guy who watches us only very rarely, and his comments about our poor passing (even when not under direct pressure) became the subject of an interesting chat, which lasted throughout the match and ended up with us sharing the glory at the final whistle. Of course, our passing improved markedly in the second half and the moves for the goal and Rathbone's chances were worthy of any team
It was the same in the fixture at Bolton - a dire first half followed by a coruscating finale that had us forgetting what had gone before. I'm sure if BBM knew what that forumla was from the outset, he'd apply it - but the main thing is at least we know we can play to that level |  |

Yep it’s just frustrating as most of our players are clearly league one standard, but can’t seem to perform at the level consistently over 90 minutes or in a run of games | |

Perhaps there's been so much chopping and changing due to injuries, and our youngsters being inconsistent (even Morley, for instance) that BBM has never really been able to put a settled side out
If we can overcome those hurdles, and blend in any newcomers this month, we'll be in a position to look upwards by spring | |

I can't possibly think of a reason the home form has been less than satisfactory lately. |  |

It was the same two subs that did the trick at Bolton - Matheson and Wilbraham. Perhaps that's some indication as to what the formula might be? |  |

Forgetting McLaughlin who was as key | |
