It's a week ago when we got compliments from the Newport fans about how we played the ball on the deck. How can things change so bloody quickly in just 7 days?
We've often asked the question as to why are our home gates are dwindling on a regular basis. Well after yesterday's total lack of entertainment and positive football the answer is clear for the few remaining fans to see.
Unless some major rethink on the part of our management team on our style (or should that be lack of style ) in our future remaining home games this season then I'm afraid that many season ticket holders will seriously be looking at renewing for next season. And those who pay over the turn styles will have even an easier option.
It's all well and good playing a counter attacking game away from home, but to even consider playing it at home is beyond belief. We've witnessed some poor home performances this season but yesterdays reached an all time low that was devoid of any spark, creativity or entertainment and although it will not go down well with certain individuals I can't excuse Jimbo and Co who determine the system and style of play that we have to endure.
Cambridge who hadn't won a game in 11 previous outings showed more passion and ambition and deserved their victory.
The sight of Jack having to resort to playing at times in midfield to lend some much needed creativity showed for me the total depths to which our style of play sank to.
It seems such a long time ago since Newport when we played the ball to feet. Why the bloody hell we resorted to long punts to the grateful heads of the Cambridge giants is totally beyond me but could it be that they played to pre match instructions..... It makes you wonder.....
We are capable of so much better... but as a colleague of mine posed the question...under the present regime...
