nantwichwhite Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Our defence is under pressure as we quite simply do not convert enough chances/half chances. Mcginlay alluded to it at the end of half time, apparently we shouldn't have been 3 up. Their goals, yes the first a keeper error, but wonderful finishes, especially the second.

I'm sure some would, but not anyone with any sense who can see what's put before them. Performances improved, slightly; potential of the squad met, nowhere near. Same issues as we have always had under Evatt: • High possession rarely translates into multiple chances in a game. Risk v reward just isn't there in the way we play. •Got a soft under belly and don't perform in big games. •Too fixated on 3-5-2 even though more and more teams seem to be able to nullify us with ease. •Flat track bullies, one trick ponies. •Rarely the same level of performance for 90 mins, games fluctuate wildly. I have completely focussed on the negatives on purpose, and I know Evatt has lots of positives too!. However all the above will be forgotten if we go up, and they won't if we don't, simple as. The pressure and criticism will magnify next season if we're still in Third division as continue making same mistakes in formation, tactics and individual errors as we have this season., despite being 3rd. I'm not sure IE has as thick a skin as he likes to profess. I think an opportunity missed was the new coach, I really think we needed an experienced coach who had worked at a higher level to help IE out.

It's in the top 5 in the league. Generally we take our chances. And anyway not taking enough chances does not account for the amount of goals conceded. The defense aren't under a lot of pressure. No more than they have been at any point this season. We are just making more individual errors, and not defending well enough as a team. We've conceded 42 goals this season. (Derby 33, Portsmouth 31). Scoring goals isn't the issue. Conceding silly ones has been. Edited March 11 by Arrested development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looking like playoff at best now signings have been fine if we have gone backwards, its because we have lost player after player to injury for some perspective, im pretty sure you (and youre not alone) have never had a good word for williams and victor, yet we were sitting nicely in the league if, as you would argue, they were being carried by others, is it any fucking surprise that when the others (the carriers) are missing the team looks to have got worse fwiw, baxter, who i knew was fantastic for this level, has been the biggest issue by a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Dont think theres anything wrong with our wing backs. Our problems are stupid mistakes that are costing us goals and having 4 strikers on the books that dont score any goals. Bod is crap. Vic is crap. Jerome is 95 and Collins is here to be a link up man. Trouble is hes linking up to utter shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a keeper that does that affects the defence. At Blackpool the fact we only scored 1 first half but missed 3 or 4 sitters gets forgotten in the shambles second half. The fact is that Baxter is a great keeper for this level (although he had plenty knocking him early season) so losing him was never going to be easy, the fact the injury came as linesman delayed flag is just annoying. However for next couple of weeks Coleman is our best option, he has also made some great saves (as he did at Blackpool and Wigan) the level of abuse on social media and a lesser extent on here is fucking pathetic. Holding polls on Facebook to chose who plays Saturday ??? FFS it is not the X Factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s better Cheese see being civil is nice I shall explain I am wrong to say they cannot pass as we are the best team in the league at the chuckle brothers pass to me to you over 2 - 3 yards what I should have stated the final ball in the last third at best is poor . Williams is quick can score the odd goal and take a throw in but defending he’s poor he looks frightened to put a foot in as for Ogbeta not seen enough of him but what I have seen his final pass isn’t the best. Ashworth is the best of a poor bunch at least he can tackle and scores the odd goal and his final ball is better than the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth went from nowhere near the team to a promising new comer , scoring and taking decent corners to back out of the squad very quickly. 3rd or even 4th choice. Not sure why.

boltonboris Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Quite the job by Evatt really isn't it. Shit keeper, shit defenders, shit strikers and 3rd in the table. He must be the best manager in the league..... Except people say he's also shit(!)(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kick off and the ball is in our net 8 seconds later. Diagonal to their left wing, Jones gets nowhere near the header, Toal wasn't awake to the run in behind him, so Coleman (wrongly) decided the best plan was to run towards the striker.
