Traf Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I had the Exeter commentary (BBC radio) on last night and it was far better than the Bolton FM halfwits, but they kept confusing me by saying we had a tricky winger (Isgrove).. He's all piss and wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed Kioso last night, his pace and willingness to get forward gives the opposition something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm not a Darcy fan boy, I think he's too lightweight, but he can't play any worse than Crawford/Isgrove/Delfouneso have done on a regular basis. Gilks Jones or Brockbank - Santos - Delaney - Greenidge Lee - Tutte -Thomason Darcy or Sarcevic Doyle - Gnahoua Crellin Jones or Brockbank Darcy or Sarcevic Isgrove Delfouneso Baptiste or Mascoll Riley or Crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3 gripes with that are: 1. I quite like Jones and Brockbank, and would like one of them to be right back, with the other as back up. If we play with wingbacks that's the end of them (in a position that suits them). 2. Kioso as a wingback doesn't make the most of his attacking instincts; he and the team don't benefit from his game being stunted by extra defending. 3. We've got loads of options and talent in midfield and we should maximise that by picking 4 of them instead of 3 - especially given that 1 of the 3 is captain (undroppable) and the other 2 pick themselves barring injury. The likes of Thomasson, Darcy and Crawford should at least be given occasional chances to start a game to prove themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t always have to be one way or the other. During November we went unbeaten playing 3-5-2, something was working. Yesterday we looked to have potential playing 4 at the back. IMO for what it’s worth John and Kioso would work better as wing backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's changed formation mid-game fair enough, but win lose or draw its back to wing back for the next game, and the performances over the season dont scream out that its working. The 4 wins in November were welcome but we played the 3 worst teams in the league at the time, they were losing every week and we took advantage, but the pattern this season is that we don't get many wins against top half teams and we don't lose many against bottom half teams. The November fixtures helped us go unbeaten and the fixtures since then have seen us struggle for points. Hopefully the 2 new signings will result in an improvement soon.

There’s a debate certainly, crossing threads here too! Some like me will think he’s played to the set he’s had, others will think he should have changed sooner/more often. But some of the factual inaccuracies and decisive statements expressed as an expert opinion when all it is is bluff and bluster is evident with certain posts/posters Edited January 13, 2021 by desperado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
