Dulwich Hamlet v Enfield Town

[CD Towner]

A good post Steph and I agree with most points. It does seem some players are being picked on last seasons form.

 

I take your point on goals conceded and defensively but the fact is we do not have a commanding leader in our side at the back since Kirby. Vilcu is a different type of player but not that player.

 

Corey is better served as an attacking midfielder IMO.

 

With regards goal scoring forwards they are hard to come by and not cheap. Apart from Liam himself who else could we get in?

Looking at http://www.isthmian.co.uk/match-info/statistics surely a seven day approach to Canvey for Martin Tuohy or Mark Charles at Harrow.

 

Canvey and Harrow would surely agree that their play off hopes are somewhat distant.

 

Or go to Ryman North. Hallet at Cheshunt might fit the bill or Purcell at Hornchurch

I like Harry a lot. He holds the ball up well and causes trouble for the opposition. Let him do what he is good at and get the others to play around him. He is the best target man we have had for ages. He may not score too many goals, but he works hard.

Absolutely spot on Steph. I don't think bobby has lost his coolness in front of goal, the wingate game showed that. He just doesn't seem to get in position and get the chances.

 I am glad that some fans are now coming round to my view that a change of direction may now be required, when I originally questioned the make up of our centre midfield.  But as I stated previously financial restraints tend to hinder us going out and buying a player, especially if he is being well rewarded where he is.Consequently, as I said well before Christmas, look amongst the lower clubs. That is why I welcomed Phil Lowen's arrival. But it seems the management are not willing to back their choice and are happy to go with what they know..

 

Perhaps, we will have to continue to run with what we have and hope that someone has a change of form and starts putting the ball in the net. We can only continue to show our support with the hope that we make the  play offs. Especially now the club has a 99yr tenure. If we don't then a plan for next season to achieve at least that end

should be put into place. WE cannot have another start to next season as we did this year.

 

In addition after my previous rant we went on a 5 win sequence. Ever the optimist!!!!

Good to read the various comments and different points of view following yesterdays disappointing reverse at Dulwich. Most reports on the match confirm that we played well, might have got something from the game had we taken our chances, and on the balance of play were a tad unlucky to lose. In the end, whatever the reason(s), it is all about putting the ball in the net. Hamlet did, we didn't, and it is all about what you do on the day.

 

Dulwich are a good side, and so are we. Looking at both clubs playing record over the past twelve matches, in all competitions, including yesterdays match, they are almost identical. We have recorded 8 wins, a draw and 3 defeats, whilst Dulwich have chalked up 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

 

We now have two home matches this week, weather permitting, and we need to bounce straight back with two winning performances. I am confident we can.

Good constructive posts by everyone.

 

A natural goalscorer won't be cheap and that's why we don't have one.

 

It's more personalities that we need than players of ability, leaders, talkers, driving the team on mentality. Basically an on field rather than off field Quinton
