It’s because we worry too much about the opposition instead of letting them worry about us

Disappointing result today, Curzon have an annoyingly decent record here but they were depleted on the day with defenders out and couldn’t name a full bench, they’re a good side but didn’t offer much on the day.
Draws can kill you, home ones in particular more often than not are bad results. Go at a point a game all season and you get relegated, our current points per game over the last eight games would have us 10th over the whole season. We’re a bit lucky that the teams immediately behind us haven’t made the most of their games in hand. Chorley have zoomed past us though.
Started the game well but it was baffling with what he was doing with Caton, posted about it earlier, the lads confidence is already low but that was a ridiculous way to shoot it to pieces altogether. Wrong sub taking off Tollitt as well, who was at least somewhat effective, whereas Peers had a game to forget. No idea as to why Matty Williams wasn’t allowed to go up for corners, ok Burton was in there but Matty surely has to be in there as well, keep Coates and Glendon back.
All three officials were absolutely terrible and the worst I’ve seen in a long time, wouldn’t say they cost either team points, but christ they were as bad as it gets. It was for both teams as well as we got some strange ones in our favour. Far from the most important, but what summed them up was between them they somehow gave us a throw late on despite the ball flush hitting Coates on the backside on the way out. Rhys Hughes also genuinely got away with about 12 fouls before he was booked.
Burton MOTM.

Another turgid tough watch. In Cal we trust but that midfield still doesn’t work.

Worst officiating I’ve ever seen I think. If that's the level of officiating we have to endure, they might as well scrap the leagues now. The referee gave every slight contact as a free kick. Then proceeded to book players for what were just fouls. Peers seemed to get booked for being persistently fouled. He pointed all round the pitch to non existent fouls, then booked him. No idea whether Burton said anything to the referee before he got sent off, but didn't appear to. The lino East Stand side didn't actually get a decision correct all second half. Throw ins were given the wrong way. He gave fouls that weren't, and didn't flag for one offside even though there were a few. As I said at the start, if that's the level of officiating we have to endure, it will kill the game off. There were 2 red cards and 6 yellow(?) and there wasn't a bad challenge in the game. Spencer was the only player who persistently fouled and he did eventually get sent off. If he had any brain cells he'd have stopped doing that. Spencer should have gone sooner for play acting that he took a boot in the face when it was nowhere near, just plain cheating. Should have been a second yellow. The ref hadn't got a clue today. Lets so much go in the first half and totally overreact in the second. And he's not the only one we've seen.

It’s very frustrating isn’t it The ref at Hereford had a really good first half then completely lost it second half. They are often very poor in the premiership so by the time you get six steps in . Bit like an eat all you can buffet going up to choose yours after the five other rounds have been fed. Back to current form and the play offs given the numbers of teams that are going to take points off each other we probably need 4 wins from eight . Surely that’s achievable when you look at our run in ?

And Mahon getting a free kick for falling over when he got a bit tired and ran out of room by the touchline.
The officials were dreadful. The lino on West stand side didn't seem to know which way to point his flag at any time, if he even bothered.
I'm afraid to say that I don't see what Peers adds. Caton look short on confidence, but Peers doesn't even seem to get near the ball in most of his challenges. If you watched Spencer and our defenders, they were 50/50, whatever you thought of Spencer.

I have said consistently that we lack a targetman and somebody that can win or at least fight for the ball , around the 18 years box. Both the midfield and attack are too lightweight and miles away from what's needed in the National League

Burton looks a real asset and very good in both box’s , can see him scoring a couple from set pieces .
We are a solid well organised outfit but we are a tough watch at times , I know teams sit in and it’s difficult but we don’t create many chances at all for our forwards . Ball doesn’t seem to stick up top and our delivery in the box’s from wide areas is usually poor , I can understand why we start games being solid and hard to beat but the last 10/15 mins we dont go for it which Is the most frustrating thing like the tollit sub yesterday . We had a free kick just passed the halfway line at one point in the 1st half and I counted 7 players behind the ball ! I keep thinking back to last season and Kidderminster were exactly the same until the last 5/6 games and then it just seemed to click attacking wise and started to score goals , It’s clear if we carry on as we are attacking wise we aren’t getting promoted that’s pretty obvious .

I read an article yesterday that lumping the ball in the box doesn't work. In the PL I think it was goals from corners ie 'sticking it in the mixer' was around 2% in the PL. You get better percentages for a goal by the passing play we play. Same with shooting from outside the box. We have fans shouting shoot when someone like Glendon has a bobbling ball and 2 defenders in front of him. It's never going in. Admittedly with 20 minutes left, I would like to see us play more direct, but alot of space is created by these small passing plays instead of route one, onto a head (which we don't have) and it's out of play for a goal kick or a throw.

If we play someone like Curzon or Brackley in the playoffs we don't have a chance as we just can't break through teams who get men behind the ball. I'd fancy our chances more against a Scunthorpe or a Chorley who are a bit more open & give you the space to get in behind.

I wouldn't fancy our chances against one of those sides.

Disagree with that sentiment really. We're drawing too many games at home. I'd rather we lost the odd one and won more. 1 win and 2 losses is the same amount of points as 3 draws. Need to start winning games. Especially at home I know what your saying about draws and defeats, but I think what Boughton Blue was saying is that it was important we didn't lose to Curzon given they were the team immediately outside the playoffs. I thought we played pretty well and created decent chances. It's always frustrating when you don't take a number of chances, but I left the ground feeling that we were by far the most dominant side. The officials were dreadful. I sometimes think at this level that they can be affected by the crowd in that if they get constantly berated for bad decisions, they then give more decisions against that team so that they appear to be 'strong'. The Burton sending off (he looks a really good player btw) was a prime example - okay, he shouldn't have shown petulance on a yellow card, but he was feeling the same as the rest of us! As for the Peers booking - people around me were just laughing at that point. Oh, and do they know what a foul throw is?

Draws aren’t great but does it really matter in the long run?
Assuming we get into the play offs, whether we’ve won lots or drawn lots doesn’t really matter.
If it did, then the highest place team in the playoffs would always win. Which they don’t.
