Popeye doyle Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I believe everyone wants Evatt to succeed, me included and I’d be happy with mid table mediocrity. I think FV wouldn’t baulk at this if they can see progress. But, like I said yesterday if we lost the next 3 difficult games then relegation is a distinct prospect. We don’t have the players for a promotion fight, they’re proving that each week, do we have the players for a relegation fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough both managers failing to achieve. I think the fact that the current incumbent wants to play attacking football certainly gives him more leeway.

RUREADY2ROLL Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The first goal came from that shit left back HE has signed not being in position; OK Delaney fucked up but it was made easy because of the left back The penalty was just NEVER a penalty; cheating referee Then we got a lifeline and their man should have had a straight red; cheating referee We still had enough time to get back into it and then the Delaney second yellow which not even a foul; cheating referee. So we were unlucky but it is getting worse week by week. HIS signings have been shit; two injury prone players who are already on the treatment table and two shocking players who haven't added anything to the squad. Playing crawford yesterday rather than Thomason summed up IE; he hasn't got a fucking clue and the longer we continue with the clown the more pain we will suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Tutte who was ball watching Only seen the highlights on Quest so didn't see the play leading up to the ball through to their winger. He had oceans of space though and with a 442 formation and a half decent full back that would have been covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your optimism Mounts but it's all ifs & buts & tbf many on here thought the same before a ball was kicked. For me most of this is down to the goalkeeper fiasco, it undermined everything from day one, should have been addressed much sooner & we've never recovered. We aren't going up with a team that only works part time & believes a match only starts when you concede the 1st goal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Decent analysis of the first goal, but I’d add Crawford losing the first header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 24, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2021 Jackson appears to be closing a man further up. No issue there so long as there's cover. Ebenezer neither here not there. He chooses to go when he can't get near the fella. Should be dropping off. Crawford also nowhere near to anyone. However, its easy to be critical looking at a brief clip. Dunno what had happened immediately before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 24, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2021 Jackson will be left mid once John is fit. No idea what Elbouzedi offers but he’s surely better than we’ve seen so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its all about opinion but I watched his debut and thought he was out of position far too much; whether he is on the left or right he should have better positional know how.

Hope you are wrong as they are both loan players.....I would like to see Thomason start lwb or left of midfield Can Evatt not see he has already got the solution in his squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 3 hours ago, Rudy said: The team looks fit, I’d love to know the distance covered stat I think we 3 at the back with two wingbacks and a holding midfielder suits us, especially with Tutte fit. That’s when we looked best and won 5 on the spin It was 4, we cant count our reserves v another club's kids. And 3 of the games were against the bottom 3 of the time. Its a myth that we suddenly improved for 4 games, and that's not to say the team didn't do what was needed on the day, no complaints there. But If we played Grimsby, Barrow and Scunthorpe next instead of 3 top half or in form teams I'd expect us to get a good number of points because even our worst team is capable of competing with that standard.
