Look at our domination against the likes of Lincoln, Fleetwood , Cheltenham, Charlton , Cambridge and Sheffield Wednesday McKenna has to take a good look at the system we are playing, great football but no end finish. The opposition teams seem to have sussed us out if we cannot score early. |  | | |  |

Appears to me it's worse when we go a goal down and the pressure is on to get it back. Maybe not composed enough with the final execution... be it shooting or crossing. |  |

I GET that people are conditioned by 2 decades of near-constant failure, but can we please try not be wetting the bed over the the occasional poor result? |  |

If we played a more defensive-minded system like Pompey we would be able to stop the likes of Wycombe and Lincoln beating us. |  |

We scored 4 against Charlton, 3 against Cambridge, 2 against Sheff Wed, and 1 against Fleetwood and Cheltenham... If we kept clean sheets in the games you listed we'd have got 16 points from a possible 18. The only league games we haven't scored in this season are Lincoln and Wycombe. So we don't score 1 in every 11 games. |  |

We have the joint lowest number of defeats in the League. We could go more defensive but the likelihood is we wouldn't win as many games. Last season Wigan lost 8 and Rotherham 10. After the Oxford game we are half way through the season and so far we have lost 3 times. |  |

Whoosh. Would you like to swap places in the table with Pompey? |  |

If we were in exactly the same position as we are now, but playing with 30% possession and 3 shots all game, you’d not see 20k crowds. I go because I want to be entertained, we all do, we’re getting it, we’re second. Just enjoy what we have not be ungrateful. |  | |  |

Even when we win, it should be a lot more comfortable. It's just people take more notice of it when we lose |  | |  |

Maybe it's because when we go a goal down, the opposition get even more defensive. When the score is even, there is at least some incentive for the opposition to try to get a goal. If they get that goal then it's a quick switch to a flat back 10. Second half against Wycombe, the box was packed with their players defending, it was always going to be difficult to score against them. |  | |  |
