I think Fonz is underrated off the ball in this team. He doesn’t play centre forward , there were times today he was back in the centre mid position, keeping that shape so Doyle could keep their defenders back. All fit they all start IMO

We said this at ours, thought he did a good job today.

Folk moaning already Madison being disappointing need to consider how many minutes he's played for us and the fact he isn't actually Diego fucking Maradona. 

There's a lot of our fans who seem to have a disconnect between the reality of where we are and where they think we are imo.

I didn’t think Maddison did too bad today, I think the expectation exceeds his ability. He’s with us for a reason and I don’t just mean his so called attitude problems. The lad can see a pass, he’s talented, he’s not match fit and he can hit a dead ball. If Doyley doesn’t miss time his header his corner is perfect. 
 

For me today Thomason worked his bollocks off. Top top player

Stick with the same side, maybe Tutte in for MJ, for a few games and we'll be cooking on gas. With Arthur, Isgrove and Sarce able to come off the bench and change things up. We look in a miles better position than a month ago.

4 points from 2 games both with shit decisions costing us a man to see the game out. No need to get overly negative.

Madisons not been playing so he’s rusty, it didn’t come off today but every pass was forward quite a few 30-40 yards and sent only after a quick glance, seems he’s got vision, lovely left peg, committed, drives forward and brave enough to try the difficult option, he’s going to be superb when the rust is removed.

Snippet from the M.E.N

Q to Evatt:

What do you make of the red card?

“I haven’t really seen it too much but real time, I thought he got the ball and his momentum took him in to the player. But I don’t know.

"I believe Mr Kettle has a history of sending off our players, so for me, he looked like he got the red card out very quickly, without giving himself time to think.

"I asked their player when he came off and he said ‘not really, it was a little bit late’ but there was not much in it.”

He doesn't seemed arsed either way .

Strange one today, Got the three points and up to 13th but I'm feeling underwhelmed.

Is that ref Barry Knight or Elton Welsby's bastard son or something? 

Why do we keep gifting free kicks in midfield? 

Ayres was on about how Williams was playing well but I couldn't see it and reading your comments I'm not alone.

Here's to building a head of steam now... here we go

Think this Williams is a  versatile player a bit like Brockbank....Lee and Tutte are a level above him in central midfield but neither can play week in week out. If Lee is still isolating for the Mansfield game i can see Evatt thinking of saving Tutte for that game.

Interesting point that.  On the face of it I agree, but that's ignoring form.  Crawford is also a shoe in for every other team, on paper.  Nobody could suggest MM deserves a place on current form, he surely has to earn it.  Arthur is playing better than Fonz and the West Ham lad is different class.   Sarce has had 4 or 5 decent games all season.  But I do expect him to start as soon as he's available as he's not captain for nothing.

He'll be fine. He's better than Tutte for me

We'll agree to disagree.  I've seen some games where Tutte hasnt given away possession, or given away free kicks.

I dont think Williams has that in his locker, every time he attempts a forward pass its so cumbersome and laboured the opposition are already intercepting it before he's played it.  I remember the frustration of watching Tom Thorpe trot around without ever breaking into a sprint and Williams is cut from the same cloth, its all half paced and weak.

Shouldve scored first half, for me

Generally though I thought he was poor today

Just because Sarcevic happens to be captain, doesn't mean he's a cert to be back in. He hasn't made himself indispensable by any means. Another of our collection of 'quality players' that Evatt needs to work out how to get the best from. If Fonz not fit and he is, maybe the 10 role might be the answer, affecting the game in forward areas without too much responsibility for tackling back

Where I'm at, a bit of a Tom Thorpe, loping around looking tidy enough but slowing the tempo down too much and lacks pace over short distances to get about. Handy that he's tall and wins a few headers but otherwise not as good as Tutte, whose handling by Evatt I can't fathom

Still trying to fathom how our two new midfield signings end up getting soft red cards for tackling in the same position, at the same stage in the match and on the same score-line...

Cheating Bastard Referees is my best theory..

Both not good enough for me. Moonwalker had an indifferent game, but I saw nothing to get excited about, once Sarcevic is fit, he slots in to were Delf plays and Lee slots in alongside Thomasson.

Feel sorry for Jackson, he hasn't done much wrong but John looks decent.

I'm not sure. Williams might just offer the protection to allow the others to do their stuff. A Mumbai if you like
