It was SO BAD that even mild-mannered Patgod weighed in against the team after Tuesday's shocking bore-draw with Farsley. Another blank in front of goal. Another vital 2-points squandered against relegation rivals. Another opposition goalkeeper with entirely clean kit at the final whistle. It was all too much!
But while our attacking players struggle with the concepts of banjos and cows rear quarters, our defence has been quietly playing out of their skins. Since trailing 2-0 to Boston at half time a mixture of Foulkes, Gascoigne, Sharpe, Cooper, Myles, White and Flannagan have conceded just ONE GOAL in 6 and a half games. These guys could very reasonably argue that they are earning their wages at the moment. If only those in front of them had notched just a goal every other game we would be mid-table now. It's just so infuriating!
Gascoigne in particular has been outstanding during this run, and, the odd penalty-conceding swipe aside, excellent all season. For what little it's worth, Patgod has him down as current front-runner for the Player of the Season award. We only hope this news doesn't go to his head....
Gascoigne is in pole position until a flashy forward player scores a dozen goals between now and the end of the season to sweep up all the easy votes of course!
