But yes we did have a few defeats on Sky in that last championship season, not that we can claim the cameras being there had a detrimental effect on results!

Hutch Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sort the goalkeeper situation out, play Tutte instead of White/Comley, stopping fannying about at the back, and kick the ball straight forwards instead of out of play from a goal kick...and we may have a chance If we don’t, can see us losing 2-3 and Evatt, Gilles, Tobias will be under massive pressure. If we were allowed in the ground, I think it would have been toxic - a bit like that Hull Christmas game when Megson was in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye doyle Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I see nothing but defeat. I'd love to see Crellin taken out of the firing line. But also let's see if that happens does it have an effect on the defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely evatt will have a heart and play gilkes, crellin will be missing with illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Indirectly weakens the defence. I agree that the midfield is the issue though. Too passive defensively, not dynamic enough no physically strong enough. Sarcevic had come good but is on his own.

masi 51 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The cup would have been a good time to give Greenidge a game as a holding midfielder, Quick can tackle and would/should win everything in the air. Obvious that Comley or White cannot play this role well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Santos definitely the one for the campo role but I’d certainly try Greenidge instead of Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of Campo's attraction was the limitations he had! (lack of pace, tendency to overplay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannyroader Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 20 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: I think that's looking wide of the mark judging by all the decent TV games listed above. I'd be interested to know when we last lost on TV, if anyone knows. 2-0 loss at QPR when Mark Little was sent off. It was Saturday 3pm kick off so for overseas viewers only in theory. I am sure some pubs can get a feed from Europe - Greece, ROI or wherever. It wasn't a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely couldnt be any worse. I'd love us to sign Kean Bryan for that role in January. In the last 2 years he's only played 6 matches, all for us, and he's only 24, thought he was older.

masi 51 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 We had the perfect chance to throw someone like Santos/Greenidge in that role against Crewe That ship has sailed for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
