We know that Billy Bodin, Lee Mansell and Joss Labadie can all score goals, we've seen the evidence with our own eyes, until a new manager is appointed, and he's had chance to work on the training ground and get his ideas across, it's perhaps unfair to suggest that these three players won't start scoring freely again, as they've done in the past.
Summed up well Dave. Score more goals and we'll be ok. Created far more chances today, played very well. It's obvious to everyone this is the problem. If we can get Marquis, or a Marquis type up front then we'll have someone to lead the line and enough in reserve to be able to affect the game from the bench.
The players have had a lot to cope with, much more than 4 games in 10 days, and it caught up with them in the last 10 minutes today. With a clear week, a new manager and fresh impetus I think we'll be in a far better position than we were today.
Today, the pitch was horrendous(full credit to groundstaff in getting the game on) and I think the only thing I would've done differently is replaced Hawley for Chapell and tried to catch them on the break as they came forward at us, which we proved we could with Billy's chances.
All in all, I think once the new gaffer is appointed, there are reasons to be cheerful and we still have a good chance.
