August 27, 20241 yr Just now, Wanderlust said: Schon's defensive work is excellent but his instinct is to win the ball and pass it back whereas Tutu wants to get forward. Schon can cross better but because of his defensive approach he doesn't get many opportunities to do it. Basically he plays like an old school LB - and unless we go 4 at the back - which we won't, who needs one of those these days? That is about how i see Schon, tidy and a decent tackler but he has not got that turn of foot or willing to take his man on like Desmond.

August 27, 20241 yr Good performance hope that’s the end of 2 midfielders experiment , no doubt Barnsley in next round.
August 27, 20241 yr Massive improvement tonight lets see if Evatt stays loyal Saturday or rewards some tonight with starts against Exeter matete should be a starter dempsey, Desmond & forino all deserve a place

August 27, 20241 yr Solid from Rico and great finish from Charles. Think both needed that tonight. Tomo ran the show in midfield.

Will give the ones who played tonight a real confidence boost, and the ones who don’t will have to fight to get picked.

August 27, 20241 yr I have confidence in Either keeper but Baxter is still the one with the shirt. Would not change the back 3 from tonight Firino over Toal at present JDC and Desmond at wingbacks. Matete, Thompson and Dempsey in midfield. Then Two from Charles, Collins, McAtee and Vic Every man and his dog can see we are better balanced with those three in midfield. Also noticed Johnston got the ball tonight from Smallwood and not Santos...I do not think that was coincidence. Well done Bolton and Evatt tonight, but is he strong enough to pick something like on Saturday Edited August 27, 20241 yr by masi 51
August 27, 20241 yr Id happily see mostly the same team, but id prefer collins for arfield, plus baxter

True but I'm a romantic. I want a chance of winning. Everton, PNE or Sheffield Wednesday at home please. Not feckin Barnsley!

Exactly without the ball Dempsey and Arfield dropped back into midfield whereas with Collins and McAtee being strikers they stayed further forward .
