JimmyRiddle Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 4 minutes ago, Biggish Dave said: Look how often the opposition strikers/midfielders come charging out to close us down and stop us playing. Doing that time and time again in a game is tiring. It’s all part of the plan It does seem to, but often wonder why teams don't just drop deep and let us have it?? When we were conceding goals earlier in the season then pressing us caused errors. Now we good why do they bother, especially as it creates spaces further up the pitch for us to utilise.? I think we struggle to break down teams who sit in deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Arthur in for Isgrove I'd take out Dapo for Arthur, thought Isgrove did a lot more for us today. Afolayan could be phenomenal if he ever found any end product.

Their advertising for a Groundsman to assist the head groundsman. Pitch isn't as good as it has been, but still one of the best in L2.

Think this is why they are playing in league 2, but it ain't half frustrating at times. We get it wide plenty but the final ball is often lacking Edited March 20, 2021 by Cartman2932 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afolayan could be phenomenal if he ever found any end product. Isgrove works hard and makes a nuisance of himself and there's a benefit to that, of course. The trouble is he's just fundamentally not very good. He has neither the pace nor the strength to beat his marker and his crosses all too often hit the first man. There's a logic to playing him against the better teams because his work rate comes in handy. For that reason I can see him starting against FGR. Against teams content to sit back though, I think we can afford to accomodate better attacking talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 20, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2021 The one the really pisses me off is our free kicks from 25 yards out. Have we put one on target yet this season? They are hopeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The ref got the 3 big decisions right......our pen, defo, they hardly complained. The sending off.....harshish, halfalion made a meal of it, but lift your hands like that nowadays & you're going off........& no sympathy to a shower of cunts who were constantly trying to con the ref. Their pen.....I feared the worst in real time but replays showed it as another dive. Not at our best, Walsall made it difficult ( i thought the forward with the headband was a nuisance ) but deserved in the end, & showed some fighting spirit again, EIEIEIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted March 20, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2021 Whilst the quality is not always there, as a team we work very hard imo, albeit with a drop in tempo from time to time. The only change I'd contemplate is benching Delfounso, I'd like to see someone with a bit more pace & endeavour buzzing around Doyle.

barrycowdrill Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Isgrove will start next sat. His work rate, defensive tracking and the fact that he can carry the ball makes him a cert. more often away from home and particularly when we’re up against teams in and around us. what we lose going forward with him v’s Arthur is outweighed by all the other stuff. Whereas Arthur can give more of an attacking spark he lacks the other bit Make Sure you don’t lose to your rivals, especially away from home and win your home games. That’ll get us over the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in the peripheral vision would probably be a penalty. I think you are spot on with that. It’s one of those that from so many angles, including how we were looking at it, it looked a pen, but the ref seemed to be looking directly down the line and immediately got his card out to book him. It really is amazing how refs decisions go against you when your lucks down and for you when generally things are going your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We play the wrong system We are playing the wrong players Our corners free kicks and throw ins are rubbish Our tempo is too slow, need to get in the box quicker 32 points from last 36.

If it had been a fan based, in game selection/substitution process going on today it could have been a completely different outcome today, especially the calls for Lee to be replaced.

Lee is better than this level, as a team we struggled first half. Lee and our better players stepped up second half that is why they are 'better'.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 20, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2021 The free kick situation can't be argued though surely? Seen one or two go over the bar, but the rest seem to hit the wall. Must be able to do better with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
