This is true. Just one extra player pushing forward at times would at least give opposition defenders a bit more to think about and could help create space for the strikers.

And you can tell that from two minutes of video evidence? ^o)Looking at Grecian Player John O'Flynn does not look offside.
They looked like they were still coming back from being offside for their goal.

Anybody else impressed with Billy Jones on Saturday?
Thought that yet again he had a very game and has really grown into his role as the left sided centre back. He does lots of little things that make life easier for the defence and Paul Jones.

Referees/linesmen are supposed to favor the striker when there is a doubt about offside, but they're usually too sh*t scared to do that, especially when it means a goal against the home side. How many times has a striker been put through with only the keeper to beat (thus an exciting situation created for the spectators), only to he hauled back by some flag-happy linesman. Sometimes it seems that they just can't wait to stick that flag up. I wish they would stick it up somewhere...

Coped better, IMO, but still looks like a LB playing out of position. There is no reason why, given enough time, he shouldn't grow into the role, but he's not there yet, IMO.

I thought O'Flynn looked slightly off. A good call IMO.Looking at Grecian Player John O'Flynn does not look offside.

Freeze frame on 23 seconds and, with all due respect, you might wish to reconsider?!

Johnno clearly looks to be played on side by the defender nearest to the camera (the one marking Logie) who seem deffo in line, if not slightly goal side, when the ball is played

When the ball is played O'Flynn is out of shot, how do you know that he's onside? I stand by by opinion that he was marginally off and the linesman made a good call. It's tight though, that's why people see it differently.Freeze frame on 23 seconds and, with all due respect, you might wish to reconsider?!

Doesn't matter though, the linesman made his decision and we had plenty of time on top of the game to be able to get enough goals to put the match out of the reach of MK. We didn't though, we failed to capatilise on an advantage and let in a soft goal, it was Walsall all over again. The linesman and timewasting players weren't the reason that we came away empty handed from that game, you're fooling yourself if you think that they are.
