Hmmmm... What can I say, I went to the match with Nikki's father. First time we'd been to a game for while. I went tonight because it was free, no other reason. The draw of the fact it's my home town is not enough anymore. They need to play better to bring the crowds back.
I seriously have to question Jerry Gill's tactics for the first 72 minutes. Weymouth went behind shortly before this and he decided to bring on Jake Reid as a result. Up to the this point Weymouth were strangely playing 4-5-1. A tactic only fit, big and physical teams can really pull off. Weymouth deployed the smallest man in the stadium, let alone the pitch to play on his own up front. He had no support, every time time he got near the ball 3 Braintree players were on him in a flash. On comes Reid as an extra forward. Now they're 4-4-2 and Weymouth are back in the game. The last 15 minutes Weymouth had a string of chances. Why oh why didn't play this from the start. Who was the home team, you'd think it was Braintree. Maybe it's a lack of confidence. Maybe they gave Braintree to much respect, but you've got to support the wee man up front. Start Reid from the start he has a presence and looked lively. Weymouth will probably get relegated and probably deserve to. Maybe it'll do them good to drop one more division. No more than that though please. The Echo tomorrow will probably hail that as a good performance. If they do I must question what game they were at. Get the tactics right though and maybe, just maybe we can still turn it around. NO MORE 4-5-1!!!
