DazBob Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just now, Traf said: I think the brilliance of Afolayan tends to overshadow how well Lloyd Isgrove is playing. His workrate and commitment are phenomenal and he had their left back in knots at time last night. His relationship with Jones is a joy to watch at times. Agreed. Isgrove is vastly underrated. We are a far better team with him in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was called upon in the big games last season and it’s proving great now. Their LB couldn’t handle him. I don’t agree with people questioning the Doyle sub, neither wide player could come Off that early, they limited Doyle’s touches so much and they started to tire, it needed that change with a bit of pace to get at them. Plus I don’t think Doyle is fully fit and looked a bit leggy in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good overall but late on change it up Did not see why Dapo went off either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2021 Slept on it. Area for improvement: crossing/final ball, though this improved as the game wore on. Perhaps unsurprisingly as the opposite tire and aren't as effective at closing down. Kachunga's finishing, let him off for the slide in which he just couldn't reach. The missed header was a shocker though. Nit picking over though, and overall a sound performance. As I said last night, Lee made a big difference. We were defensively less open, but the lad still made runs here there and everywhere. For me, he was mom.

I think the concern would have been upsetting the defensive side, and risking a counter. Once the full back saw red, it was perhaps an easier decision to make. I think Dapo was also a bit knackered and sore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 3 games they've got thrashed at Cambridge 3-0, drew 1-1 home v Cheltenham (on Sky, they were dire), and then been outplayed by us. Points have come from beating Sunderland 1-0 who had a goal controversially disallowed, won at Shrewsbury who are poor, beat Ipswich with a late pen. I'll stick my neck out and say they wont be top half by end October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeBWFC Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I love Isgrove, he may not be the best player but he makes up for that with 100% commitment and a terrier like attitude. He pairs up well with Jones and they caused a lot of trouble down that side throughout. Final ball is the achilles heel at times, but it is difficult when teams set up like that and we did improve in that area in the second half. Think we missed Sheehans dead ball ability. I haven't seen Bakayoko play so can't really comment on where he fits in once fit, but would be a shame on isgrove if he just replaces him.

radcliffe white Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Santos needs to improve his positioning when receiving the ball he’s square on at times puts himself & the team under pressure, opposition teams will be onto that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Agree with the generally positive comments, a pleasure to watch that performance, at least upto the penalty area. Obviously we can improve our potency in front of goal, but we knew that before last night. Others have correctly singled out MJ (what a 2nd half) and Gordon (surprisingly composed and unhurried), but my MOM was Jones, thought he was absolutely relentless from 1st minute to last whereas some others took a while to get into gear. No let up from him, what an engine and his passing is maybe underrated. That's the first game I've seen for a long time when I wouldn't swap one player on the opposition for any of our's, even most league 2 sides had a stand out player. If Hasselbaink gets a tune out of them he's done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lad called Chinese Al had his arse handed to him. For reasons known only to him, he hung onto the ball when it came to him in about the 80th minutes and tried to put it up his shirt! Young fat lad and an old bloke grabbed it off him and shoved him out of the way. Last 10 minutes were shouts of "Chinese Al is a wanker!"
