This is to be expected, sort of. I heard a statistic once that in 87% of Proffessional football matches the team that scores first goes on not to lose the match.

I know football is a simple game but its more than kicking the ball in the direction of the opponents goal, passing the ball to a player with the same coloured shirt is much more likely to bring results.

At Withdean we really need to go for the jugular from the start, not waiting until we are one - nil down.

We also need to playing 4-4-2 at home.

Finally, we sould be starting with our best eleven, and surely, that means Forster starting games.

agree totally.. lua lua did his job fine yesterday.. surely anyone could see yesterday we weren't creating enough and 2 up front was needed.

a few times we'd go to counter, the ball would be played to murray but because their weren't one of our midfielders near him he'd have to hold the ball up and wait.. even if there was a midfielder near him they'd be marked up so murray couldn't play the easy pass.. donno about u lot but for me, murray was crying out to have someone playing next to him yesterday and i can't help but think forster would of created something had he been put on much earlier

That's been a problem for most of the season, even when we have two up front, there's not enough support from the midfield when we're going for a goal.
