jsslatic Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Second half was enjoyable. Can't believe nobody thought of playing two centre forwards sooner. I'm with Dino in that we just need to get through to January so he can hopefully make some big changes. Anything we pick up along the way is a bonus. As with the Morecambe game, the most encouraging thing leaving the ground yesterday was that is appears that there are teams even worse than us knocking about in the division.

If it was a shock for us to have 2 up front imagine their manager having watched 12 of our games playin 4 5 1 lol Well the first half showed that they coped rather easily with the 2 uptop. The second half we played well but I don't think it was down to 2 up the middle. That said only a fool would change a winning team on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Hamer was outstanding and is now closing down opponents much better - as I hoped he would. If Dino can keep up the confidence factor we can certainly move up the table. Still need a centre forward though. Mark Beck at Harrogate is one who could do a good job. He's definitely the type of striker we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that our forward pairing didn't look like a pairing which, hopefully, Dino can work on. We need the rest of the team to try and play the ball into space because neither will win a header.

I think one might win some headers against some centre back partnerships, but playing into space is going to work much more regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said only a fool would change a winning team on saturday I thought the big difference was that in the first half the strikers mainly received the ball outside the box and in the second half they mainly received it inside the box. This was because of the quality of the crossing mainly from Smith which i thought was because he benefited from the extra space and the support of Iacovitti.

They are at home to Portsmouth in the FA Cup, chances are he will score against them so we won't get him anyway. Must be a cert for live TV coverage.

wiseowl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Relieved at 3 points - badly needed. The very poor home element of the attendance shows how deep the discontentment is running, even amongst previous diehards. Port Vale game is huge. 3 points and people might start to believe that we are approaching the corner - and might just negotiate it. Lose - and it's a case of "would not have beaten 11 against 11". Draw = frustration and doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what Macc fans said, just shows we need to supply him with more chances in front of goal. Let Segbe run about distracting defenders and keep Wilson hanging around the opposition penalty area.

So do you believe Rees-Mogg and Johnson that the current deal is Brexit or Farage and the DUP who believe it isn’t? Given that all 17.4m of you knew what you were voting for.
