Rizlar 61 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Another win all be it a late 1 but we will have to get used to teams parking the bus at our place definitely need to up the tempo because this passing it around just allows the opposition to get back in shape.

Which was the issue back in the bad old days. Fortunately we have better options but he needs to use them. We now have, for the level, power, speed & skill. We need to be forcing issues ... at least till we're ahead. Edited February 28 by Dr. Feelgood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnnyrotten 273 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 14 hours ago, Traf said: I thought Sarce looked better in that no.10 role than when previously asked to be the box to box guy. Unlucky not to grab a goal. Arthur hasn't impressed when starting, so that's tough. Same has been said of Sarcevic and Fonz. Gets judged very quickly, he's only started 4 games - Barrow away (cracking cross for Doyle's header), Bradford home (wasn't subbed off and we won so must have played OK), Orient A - can't pick him out as the under performer that day - Morecambe H - 1 up and in total control until he was replaced by MM. I'm not saying he should start every game or that he's faultless, I just feel he's not treated the same as others. Coming on as sub and making something happen seems to count against his chances of starting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianofcleveleys 81 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Just going like for like with the subs was a wasted opportunity from Evatt, we were crying out for quicker, more direct passing and people being prepared to run at opponents, if for nothing other than to lure them into fouls and get free kicks. Bringing Arthur on was fine but why at Dapo's expense? The only times they'd looked unsettled were when he was on the ball. The triumvirate of Lee, MJ and Sarce didn't work and Thomason was a big miss, he can play it quicker, longer and more forward. Sarcevic had a couple of good moments first half but was non existent second half, should have been hooked. Better as a sub in the no 10 role Doyle's looking a bit flat for me, perhaps understandably, hardly missed a minute for months. Never shirks but been on his heels a few times when good crosses have come in last few games and first touch has been poor. Miller looks a better finisher at minute. Set pieces have been picked up earlier in the thread, awful yesterday, as were our crosses from open play. Isgrove was like a little lad on a man's pitch, couldn't reach front post all afternoon from a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Traf 2,704 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Re : Dapo, he looks far more effective down the right, but spends most of the game having to be on the left. As for Sarc, he was only a good save away from a second half goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its all good having a defensively solid midfield but if the opposition aren't attacking where is the benefit? If its effectively attack v defence, let's play our best attackers for at least the 2nd half, give them something to think about and make them come out of their comfort zone of clearing balls on the edge of the box.

frank_spencer 622 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Reminded me a lot of watching England struggle against teams that sit all 11 behind the ball. We had loads of possession and looked nice passing it around but no final product due to a combination of hard work and sheer bloody mindedness from Barrow and a lack of ideas how to change it up and poor crossing from us. 3 points is the important thing bring on the Dave Wheater derby and win number 6 in a row.
