    We finished the game with 3 strikers on the pitch and spent the whole second half camped in their box. Taking a defender off wouldn't have made the blind bit of difference.

    We just make really poor decisions when it matters most.

    Our players aren't as good as we think they are.

    We had to win though. I’d much rather see Morley distributing from rcb than Forrester when we’re chasing a goal.

    3 strikers but distribution in to them was very poor. 

  2. How did we end up with three centre halves still on the pitch by the end of the game? It’s stubbornness like that which really lets Evatt down.

    Morley or Sheehan had to come on other iredale or Forrester who where both terrible with distribution the entire game.  Credit to maghoma who was by far and away the best player on the pitch. 

  3. Poor defending for their goal but a superb performance after. Just couldn’t take the chances when they came our way. 
     

    Santos absolutely superb.

    Said before he should have been dropped- useless recently Cogley 

    He’s offering absolutely no threat going forward at the moment. Move jones forward and get Forrester back in. 

  5. The lack of a plan B is hurting us badly. Losing against our local rivals and still playing 5 at the back is almost unforgivable. 

    3 strikers on the pitch and we put about one cross in after they scored. What’s the point having them up there if we’re not lumping it or crossing it. Lose to Barnsley and that’s automatics gone. 

  6. 3 Strikers on the pitch as well but no one there to supply any quality in to them. I still think Evatts the man for us but I just don’t get this tactic. Why aren’t we taking a centre half off and getting more forward quality on the pitch.

    Was that Jones who naively followed the ball? 

    It was, horrendous defending. I’ve barely seen Forrester put a foot wrong and i don’t think that goal occurs if he’s playing ahead of Jones.

    Probably to give is more dealing with corners and free kicks 

    Bodvarsson came on with Collins and changed the game against Barnsley. Not sure how Jerome comes on ahead of him. 

  9. There’s a couple of buffoons sitting in east lower who were shouting and screaming till they were red in the face for us to boot it long for the majority of the game.
     

    Our home support hasn’t been great for a long time. It seems a lot of people just expect us to roll over any team that comes. Yesterday was a decent point against a team who’ll at least make the playoffs.

    Our home support has been pretty poor for a long time. It seems people just expect us to roll over any team that comes.

    Can’t see what part Gomes will play tbh It was the type of game crying out for some individual magic thought this guy might do that 

     

    It does seem a funny signing. He’s clearly a good player at this level but has played most of his career prior to us on the wing. When he’s coming on it’s been as a midfielder rather than a striker.
     

    Can’t see evatt playing him against any of the better sides in that role as he looks a bit of a liability defensively as it’s something he’s never really had to do much.

    Another one

    Youve got the changes you wanted and its def not got better

    Not your fault, obvs, its on IE

    It’s hardly a fair comparison though is it.. Bods first game against the toughest opposition in the league and his second game we go down to 10 men? 
     

    He’s an Icelandic international and had more championship appearances than Vic will ever have. 
     

    We don’t lose Santos today and it’s a different story.

  13. JDB and Jones were comfortably our best on the night. Williams really struggled and seems to be out most obvious weak link.

    It’s a shame Evatt can’t bury the hatchett with John as he’s still our best LWB. 

  14. Not the best performance but a brilliant win especially considering our form against any of our rivals over the last few years. 
     

    Santos superb again, I’d be amazed if there’s a better centre back in league one. Maghoma is a great addition also .
     

    Only negative for me was Victor, I just don’t know what he offers. Can’t shoot, can’t pass, can’t hold the ball up, doesn’t win headers. The difference between him and Bodvarsson is night and day.

    They ran around him second half like he wasn't there. He just gets pissed off, that's not leadership.  Couldn't lead an under 11s team. Nobody including Lego head has any ounce of leadership in that team. Wilt under any sort of pressure. 

    Spot on, as a manager this is one of the main things holding Evatt and us back. Not one real captain in the entirety of our team.

    Evatt is constantly barking instructions but you barely see anyone in our entire team even talk to each other. 
     

    Anyway, moments of brilliance in the first half but that second half is up there with one of the worst I can remember. While Randell ultimately won us the game, he’s a shocking player. Victor not much better, can see Bodvarsson leaving in January as it must be personal for him not to be starting. Less said about Nlundulu the better. 
     

  16. Must be something going on between Bodvarsson and Evatt. The whole fan base can see that technically he’s our best forward.

    We never seem to control the games where Thomason sits deep and santos is missing. I’d still rather see Sheehan sit deep to allow us to get a hold of the ball better.

    Swear we are a team of thickos.

    Theres only Sheehan, JDB and Santos with any kind of footballing brain.

    Passing in to danger, taking the wrong option, not getting Charles away quicker.

     

    Correct, considering Evatt likes us to control possession, be intelligent with the ball, we’ve signed players who clearly aren’t capable of that.  
     

    Johnstone is proving to be a huge miss this year also. Our left side of iredale and Williams is lower league one at best.
