CAN PEOPLE NOW PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT JACK BARHAM

DID YOU SEE HIM PLAY ON SATURDAY? OMGZZZ HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS LEVEL

Shouting doesn't make your point more valid. Or is your cap lock stuck?

Calm down Lee.

Barham needs someone with him, not just Reynolds lofting useless balls up towards him.

Barham looks like he thrives when we make a quick transition from defence to attack but then it doesn't appear that the movement of our forward line is good enough to facilitate that. Reynolds tried to play several through-balls on the ground for both Jack and Simeon at the Borehamwood match but neither of them were able to anticipate them. I remain unconvinced by Jack, I think he only works as a striker if we play a certain way.

[DerekRocholl]

Surely the message in training this week, to everyone, has to be to shoot on sight.

Absolutely. Also, get them willing to attack the front post. So many crosses aimed here with nobody there.

We did play some excellent stuff, hard to accept being behind at half time on balance of play/chances.

Would it be worth playing Mauro LWB and Tutonda RWB? Tutonda often cuts inside but seems unwilling to strike with his right. Was that what lead to his hamstring injury early in the season?

Wes should be working on his shooting and told to shoot early.

Felt sorry for Barham but he had no impact. Walker was missed.

Looked like Simeon could've chested that cross in rather than going for a difficult volley!

Thought Mauro looked a little out of sorts but still a threat going forwards.

Dunne, apart from a couple of good surges in the first half, never took any responsibility on the ball or a second touch, including one no-look hospital pass in the second half. If Boucaud played like that, he'd be getting derided on here. Would like to see Sweeney in his place.

EMC changed the game and should start. Wes should've got the ball to him more quickly, not sure why he kept delaying the pass. When's Elito back?

Jack Taylor clear man of the match for me, followed by his brother.

Their number 10 was excellent.

Very good summary.

Their No 10 holding a finger to his slips in front of the nit very massed and mostly silent ranks of the South Terrace after his goal was a very funny moment.

As strange as it sounds there was a point last season (Dover away) where it looked like Harrison and Barham was working as a front 2. Jacks a workhorse but when he can’t reach the top shelf at the supermarket there’s no point in lumping the ball in the sky for him to compete against NL centre halves twice his size. He’s at his best off the shoulder of a target man, chasing knock-downs.

Or we need one of our midfielders to step forward with the ball or make a 3rd man run into the gap between the opposition midfield and defence more often, so that Jack can start a run off the shoulder of his marking defender.

Agreed, but presumably the player one might expect to fill that hole would be Wes, and he hasn’t looked himself the last few weeks. Actually when I think about it Wes was doing a much better job of exactly what you describe during jacks impressive spell at the start of last season.

Agreed. Wes playing so far forward either as a deliberate ploy or because he is too dopey to hold position as a number 10 meant effectively he was playing where Barham should have been.

Tactically naive I think.

Hopefully Currie will sign the "big man" we need to make the most of Barham who has used his time more usefully than some on Twitter with their lists, smashing them in at conference south level.

Lee would now like to be known as. Nicky, as he thinks him and his brother could be Danny Cowley and the one no one really remembers.

If you keep pumping high balls upfield to a short lone striker competing against 2 burly 6 foot plusers you are not going to get the best out of him.

[mcleod23]

Barham isn’t the answer with or without a big man alongside him. Walker has shown he’s got serious potential and scored goals to match that.

Hope Shaq can find his scoring touch quickly.

Sweeney in midfield is the big man needed in place of Wes or Tutonda. When he returns from injury he can be a Fellani type coming in for last 30 mins
