An injury time winner for the second week in succession has been a great boost (and a credit to the player's unflagging determination). But the goal machine that was so impressive earlier in the season is not quite firing on all cylinders.
Just compare the last 7 games with the seven before that
First 7 games (all league) For 23 Against 10 (Won 6 Lost 1)
Second 7 games (6 league, 1 cup) For 9 Against 6 (Won 4, D 2, L1)
It's results that count and maybe it reflects a more careful approach not to go gung-ho at every oppportunity. After all, keeping down the opposition goal tally means we have to do a bit less up front.
Or are there other concerns?.
Maybe other teams have worked out how better to handle Swankie and Doris? Has the absence of the master Sheerin has reduced our creative forward play - despite Falky's excellent contribution. Maybe our forward players are not clinical enough when the many opportunities arise - is there a bigger role for Elfverson as Plan B in games?Any other suggestions and options?
Or is it just that the first 7 games were a bit of an aberration and, as we settle in to the long grind of a league campaign, maybe it;s back to business as usual.
