we do have a pattern of play,,our central midfield tends to hold and we try to get the ball out wide to create chances from wide,it worked pretty well down the left with lee brown and martin for a while but martins form has nosedived,,,most teams in lge 2 and conference play a lot of long balls because of a lack of technical ability and the risk involved therefore in playing out from the back,at the start of our good run we played a mix of short/long which has slipped into more long ball. i think we have had a problem with players not being mentally brave and getting on the ball and playing at times this season especially when things arnt going well,thats a thing i like about sinclair he always wants the ball and then wants to use it properly. i worry a bit that gosling and martin are a bit faint hearted and not desperate to get the ball and do damage to opponents. Could that be also down to lack of confidence caused by our lack of goals? It must be pretty disheartening knowing our strikers are never going to score from one of their crosses? As I said elsewhere, there was a couple of times on Saturday when the ball was switched very successfully over the opposite full backs head - Taylor's chance for instance. I have no problem with using the long ball if it used in this way, it is the sit deep, lump it to Cunnington, lose the second ball, wait until opposition attack then repeat tactics I can't stand. We started the season playing football, confident to take the ball from Mildenhall and work it that way. Mix that with some more direct stuff in the channels and we will be fine. I feel you may be right about it being a confidence issue throughout the team but you would think a 9 game unbeaten run would get a team confident to play and attack teams with a bit more spunk? So you can only assume they are scared too, or told not to.

Well, whatever the answer is going to be we had better get to it soon. Barnet are scoring goals for fun and not letting too many in. 2 up at HT tonight. GD = + plenty.

In today's Post...
Clarke, meanwhile, continues to reaffirm his intention to wait for the right player to become available in his ongoing bid to bolster his strikeforce.

It does seem he is trying to wait until January to sign him. Tubbs is on loan with Wimbledon until the end of the season though which I can't understand unless there is a clause for Bournemouth to cancel the loan if someone bids to sign him?

Wonder if you will be writing that again in one month time...... PS By the way I read and liked your original post before realising the date of the article!! Hence my question now....

Not sure of the answer but I assume if both sides agree to cancel the loan he can more to another club, then again the B Post could be talking BS about both Tubbs & Hughes!!

Composure. Can it be taught? Surely there's a strong link between composure and confidence.

Wimbledon aren't going to agree to cancel the loan I shouldn't think as they would be losing a quality striker hence why I wonder if there is a clause. Whilst signing Tubbs seems optimistic, it certainly isn't out of the realms of possibility.

Although why would a player drop down to the Conference as I doubt he'll get more money for doing so as I assume he'll get paid the same where ever he plays less we are prepared to offer him a better long term deal?

Hi, Article below from Wimbledon forum sheds a little more light on Tubbs position. A bit contradictory though, as I can't see that he's theirs for the season necessarily. Tubbs Not Expecting Cherries Recall Wimbledon fans can't sit completely comfortable yet in the knowledge that Matt Tubbs will stay beyond Christmas, but the early signs are good. Upon coming to Kingsmeadow on a season-long loan from Bournemouth the championship outfit did insist on a 'recall clause' being included, but given the lack of involvement in the past 12-18-months the 30-year-old has told Get West London that he's not expecting to be recalled by Eddie Howe.... Tubbs doesn't feel that a decision on his future is 'his to decide' but did hint that he feels his future could be resolved at Christmas, which could mean his status as a permanent Wimbledon player could be confirmed? At least his status as ours for the season is rubberstamped! He's more than happy being a Don though and nine-goals in some 14-appearances so far suggest that this is a move that's working well for all concerned so you would hope if this can remain the case nothing will change? Other clubs may well be looking on though and if a transfer fee could be recouped maybe Bournemouth will look to that to happen? All we can do is keep our fingers crossed.

I know its a month old, but it does state that Bournemouth have a recall clause on the Tubbs loan which I assume that they haven't cancelled and therefore he could be recalled and sold, answering your original question

I am starting to think we could pull this off. Can AFC Wimbldon really offer much more than us? Also if we really believe a quality striker is going to make that much difference to us then you would like to think we will push the boat out to sign someone like Tubbs who will come for relatively cheap. Top strikers like him are hard to come by.

By the time Tubbs is available,which is Jan 1st we will be so far behind Barnet that our only hope is the lottery that is the play offs,if we are still in touch

Being a bit daft here, but I guess they can't recall him then send him on loan to us? With a view to permanent in jan?

Playoffs are surely the absolute minimum we should be aspiring to in this league.

I expect they can do it, the only problem with it is you can only play for so many clubs per season. 3 I think? So would limit their options if they were to sell in Jan. I really do wonder if we are trying to get by until January and then go all out to get him. If that is the case then let's just hope we can do well enough up until then.

After all, this is BRFC that we're talking about here. I haven't looked recently but there must quite a number of games between now and January, and all carrying three points of course, so the penalty for us could be a harsh one if we falter. As we didn't set the goalscoring records alight whilst Adam Cunnington was with us, then purely on that level he won't be missed. But he was a ''live'' body that contributed to the teams performances, so to remove him from the equation is final and he must be replaced by someone. Angelo Balanta perhaps?
