...I still don’t like Crowley coming deep to get the ball and I agree that Arthur didn’t justify his place in the starting 11.
Cole was ineffectual and his shooting over the last two games has been dismal.

Where have you been for the past two seasons? We got promoted with Stockton as the lone striker. Stockton played the best football of his life and dragged us through games at times as the lone striker last season.
Want to see the combination of Mellon and Stockton given a bit more of a chance after it showed promise against Bristol Rovers? Absolutely fair enough! But to make a blanket statement that Stockton doesn't work up front on his own is a bit silly.

Whether because we've got different players who can't make it work now, or, other teams have worked out how we play, and how to stop us, or, as I think, the standard is so much better in League One, that low possession, counter attack football doesn't work, because the opposition are that much better. The evidence is clear, we're not scoring enough, and our only good spell came when we had two up front. Yesterday, we improved in the second half, when Cowley spent more time up front, rather than hunting for the ball in our own penalty area.
