Farnywhite Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I thought we got a little over run in midfield at times and the same happened last week . We have a attacking midfielder that can create but a bit light weight with hindsight may be at 3 - 1 we stick a tutte or a Lee on . Anyway it’s more entertaining than watching a Parkinson side but might course a few heart attacks on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Wanderer Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Reckon we're in for an exciting season. Evatt turned things around at the back last season so hopefully he'll be able to do the same in L1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanu Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Don't get me wrong we press and work exceptionally hard as a unit but we let them put so many crosses into our box without getting out to them. Santos and Baps coped with most of them but its relentless pressure on us, we didn't control the game at all when we had the two goal cushion. We tired badly and the third goal just after the pen is such a fucking lucky break of the ball. That being said we cant be bottling 3-1 leads, IE needs to find a better balance or make subs a little bit earlier so the fresh legs can stand up to the intensity the other team will throw at us in the final 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its an additional midfielder and Doyle off, rather than one midfielder for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Slotting Lee in to midfield for the Lincoln game seems like a sensible thing to do. Its a good point today given the opposition were playing their first ever game at their new ground but IEs understandable desire to get on the front foot and be expansive means we've never really looked in control/comfortable in our two games at this level thus far. One way or another it'll settle down as the season moves along. Evatt can be pragmatic when needed. Early days. As ever in August I'll be happier when we've got that first three-pointer clocked up.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted August 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 Disappointing, but early days yet. We need to be closing games off in this league at 3 - 1 up but hopefully we'll learn. Doyle opening his account, one for Dapo and another for Sheehan is promising.

Members Rudy Posted August 14, 2021 Members Share Posted August 14, 2021 If Sarc Sheehan play behind a front 3 we’ll see plenty of games like that Need to find that balance We weren’t great defensively down the flanks today Great to see some faces today Right I’m off to get more pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted August 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 Pretty sure if we got Lee & possibly Thomasson on at 3-1 we would have gone on & won. When MJ goes in for a challenge & loses it we are wide open behind him. As Rudy says, be reet. Evatt will sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a couple of scabby 1-0s to get us some wins on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Still in Euston Very sloppy conceding too many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 3 games in and I’ve said the same after each one. We look as good going forward as we look weak at the back. players need to realise quick the mistakes we got away with last season we won’t in this league. Johnstone last week and Santos today.

true white Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Santos was out on his feet after 70mins. Last 10 he was struggling to even track back. Once team gets full fit we will be ok. To be fair their subs worked for them. That save at 3-1 has been massive for them. Very positive though going forward. We are going to compete well in this league. Onwards and upwards.

Let's put it this way, it's a good job the tickets were for the correct date because fuck all else was! But I've already said too much. This is Smiley's story to tell. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just imagine me parking on that drive today. And then rocking up at the hotel after the match to check in fully pissed - discovering my room was booked for the wrong weekend. And finding my car towed away!

We need a couple of scabby 1-0s to get us some wins on the board. If the Sheehan shot goes in don’t know how keeper saved it or it just hit him then we were home and dry at 4-1 with out any changes so it’s all mulling it over after the event . was just thinking back to the big Sam days and he used to bring a defensive midfielder in when we went a goal up to see it out but it usually worked for him . I am pretty sure we will get the balance right Edited August 14, 2021 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Kinhell just seen their 3rd goal. So avoidable, catalogue of errors. unusually rash challenge from Santos too for their pen. Feels like Deja vu from start of last season “shooting ourself in the foot” was the phrase Evatt used back then. Done it two league games on the bounce now. Hopefully take out frustration on Lincoln but they’re a very decent side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just back......not sure about Dixon who looks a bit small & was rooted to his line 1st half when Wimbledon were launching high balls into our area, or Bakayoko who looks more like a centre forward than a winger where his touch isn't so good. Early days for both though. MJ was solid, Sheehan good on the ball & Sarce MOM for me for his all round game......we were just missing the accuracy of the final ball several times & close to scoring more. Really good support as well. Disappointing to drop 2 points, we were the better team but we'll play worse & win this season !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
