About spot on edgeWe battled well but a long ball forward was wind assisted & led to the opener.
The second direct from a corner & the third the best free-kick I’ve seen for a good while
Completely agree. First hour we matched them, after that we reverted to typeNo complaints on the effort and we held them well for an hour or so but then their quality and a bit of look made the difference, one thing that frustrated the hell out of me (like it does most weeks) is why weren't we a bit more positive and went with 2 up front particularly at half time after we had battled so well in the first half, imo McFadyen looks far more comfortable central than on the wing and so why not put him and Joel as the two up top with either Jamie or Jordao coming in on the wing??? We had nothing to lose today in giving that a go but for some bizzare reason it's just not happening
The old, traditional 4-4-2 formation seems to have fallen out of favour within the modern game. 4-3-3 or variations thereof appear to be about the only show in town, no doubt spurned on by the success of the likes of Liverpool, City and other top flight clubs who play this way.No complaints on the effort and we held them well for an hour or so but then their quality and a bit of look made the difference, one thing that frustrated the hell out of me (like it does most weeks) is why weren't we a bit more positive and went with 2 up front particularly at half time after we had battled so well in the first half, imo McFadyen looks far more comfortable central than on the wing and so why not put him and Joel as the two up top with either Jamie or Jordao coming in on the wing???

I’m tired of saying it and getting abuse about it but until we have a captain of the ship we are ruderless and the midlands league beckons
“Reverted to type”? In what way exactly?Completely agree. First hour we matched them, after that we reverted to type

McFadyen and Jones as a two up front with Isaac and Jamie out wide and I think there's goals there imoWell Leek certainly deserved the win, nobody can argue with that. However up until they scored they didn't create much more than us which was virtually nothing.
If we think back to the battling CoL performance a couple of weeks back their goals were coming as CoL were getting more on top. Yesterday I didn't think Leek were that threatening as Jonah and Fenton were marshalling the troops really well. The goal did have a big motivational effect on them and they were much more purposeful after.
The next couple of games will definitely define the rest of the season. We need to score, which is easier said than done at the moment. I'd rather lose 5-4 and have a go than agonisingly lose 1-0 with a great battling performance. 5-4 wasn't going to happen yesterday but could it happen next week?? 5-4 in our favour please!! How can we get goals? Do we sacrifice a defender straight away? Fenton up front maybe? He would certainly give it a go and can score!
I'll leave that thought with everyone, but we need to score to have a chance.
See everyone there
You can only press against a good side for so long.We just need to get at them 2nd half
Man for man get them pressed in their own half and they'd have made mistakes. Instead we dropped too deep and let their full backs up the pitch.
2 up front has got to be the way to go There's definitely goals there with the attacking threat we have, they've just been isolated in past games
Completely agree, goals is key and an attacking line up will be neededWell Leek certainly deserved the win, nobody can argue with that. However up until they scored they didn't create much more than us which was virtually nothing.
