City 0 St.Albans 2

5 key league games coming.

If we haven’t got 6 points from those it’s red flag time for me

The next three away games - Ebbsfleet, Dulwich and Havant all look very tough - the points needed may well have to be won at TP but first we need to turn round this dreadful home form.

I don't hold out much hope for us getting wins at Twerton Park at the moment after seeing us go back to the 4-2-3-1 formation against St.Albans. It was so disheartening to see Fletcher in particular in such a deep role. At times when Raynes went forward and Fletcher covered him he was basically in a right back position which gave me such a hollow feeling that nothing would ever come out of a move with him so far back. I also feel sorry for Cooke with his isolated role against St.Albans in particular with us trying to hit him with some pretty poor passes at times, he looks a shadow of the striker who we saw in pre season and August/September and we've really knocked the wind out of his sails.
We started off the season with a question mark against who would take over the Frankie Artus position in midfield and you can now add a suspect defence and non creating/ scoring forward line to that (not to mention using 4 keepers). I fear for us this season and I can't see light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.

What we need is a team of Joe Raynes.

But not at left back.

Always play the best players in their strongest positions.
