Blue_Guru Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I get the feeling Johnson tries to rotate our squad for a multitude of reasons :Opposition/Players lack of fitness/Tactics....but it is clear to see the squad players we have aren't good enough This league is about finding a solid 11-13 players that require minimal change...too many ineffective short term fringe players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoafc Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Johnson got his starting 11 woefully wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 First half crock of :censored:. Dunfield crock of :censored:. Stead. Looks promising but just doesn't do it. Ref and his linos were :censored: tonight too. Danny. If you're not up top you're better off on the bench. I'd go for crock of :censored: for him too. Improved second half, Dayton, Winchester and JCH all looked like different players when they came out. Dayton especially impressed me. From :censored: in the first half to mediocre in the second. MK weren't anything special either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Abysmal first half, the 2 central midfielders hardly crossed the half way line or passed the ball forward, why on earth start with Dunfield when Winchester did ok on Saturday ? Stead was dispossessed countless times and its no wonder he didn't start the 2nd half, we may have seen the last of him. Philliskirk was again a fish put of water playing wide and with neither full back getting forward there was no creativity apart from Harkins. Much better 2nd half with Clarke- Harris putting himself about and Dayton and Winchester a vast improvement on what we had seen earlier.

rudemedic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Lino main stand side got most of his offside decisions correct tonight. MK sprung our back line with relative ease... Yep, agree, it is somewhat embarrassing how the old "third man running" worked against our back 4 or 3 tonight. A lot of the "dodgy" ones first half were correct too.

stargazer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Win one game , don't have to bother in the next one or sometimes .......the level of ambition and desire we have received from a whole stack of players over the last umpteen years......this more than anything will finish off our club .People get sick and tired of racing from work in midweek to get to a game and the latest batch of short term contractors decide to take another night off.

ceskylatic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hopefully LJ will start the Tranny game with the 11 that came out the second half tonight but with Brown at RB and Dayton RW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Lino main stand side got most of his offside decisions correct tonight. MK sprung our back line with relative ease... From someone who sits in the MSP; i'd beg to differ. Massively. He got absolutely none of the decisions correct. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Appalling first half. Much better effort second half, Harkins (as per), Dayton, JCH, Charlie Mac, Wes worked hard. Time for a best XI to take us to the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehobbit Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Awful first startno one awake no effort and they score. 2nd a complete f@@@ up from the usually solid Lockwood. Starting 11 too many changes not Winchester biggest fan but he did ok Saturday and should have started. Danny P is not a winger where was Worrall? Dunfield ok tried to play to feet at least but no great improvement on what we had. Stead woeful think hew past it some good touches but looks slow ans doent win enough in the air. Plays like he's 34 not 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hopefully LJ will start the Tranny game with the 11 that came out the second half tonight but with Brown at RB and Dayton RW Worrall RW surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 1st half was just not acceptable. Could not work out our tactics or formation. Why Philliskirk was drifting inside so much, and leaving such a gap wide right i do not know. Why none of our bench made any attempt to correct it leads me to believe it was under instructions. Stead. Lockwood. Grounds. Philliskirk. On that 1st half performance should be nowhere near our side for the next game. JCH. Dayton. Winchester all did well 2nd half. Only Harkins and Wes can be happy with their full 90mins work IMO. Taking that game as a whole: Just. Not. Good. Enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Awful first half, inept officials. JCH played very well when he came on. I thought MK Dons closed us down very well and very quickly. We had no time on the ball what-so-ever. Philiskirk isn't a winger, that isn't his fault - LJ plays him there. Dunfield, Stead and Brown were woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitey1980 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ad stargazer says above, the whole performance had the feel that they felt that they had done enough at the weekend. The improvement in the second half was headless and prompted as much by embarrassment as the additions I feel. JCH, Winchester and Dayton deserve praise for adding some enthusiasm and balance, but that was the sort of performance that kills a fan base. As I've posted elsewhere, the less said about the balance and distribution from our back four the better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor evil Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The team set up was wrong for me, the lack of a winger made us far too narrow. Couple that with the way they came out and all forgot how to play together was the problem. They were just chasing shadows in the first half. The full backs need to get forward more and give us an outlet. Confidence on the ball was so low, afraid to take more than one touch. Deserved to be 2 down after that first half. To our credit we came out with a bit of fight in the second half but on a balance deserved nothing from the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Couldn't go tonight working but that attendance was alarming but not unexpected. Ronnie was sacked because of dwindling crowds but the trend continues. I have faith Johnson will get it right but I also had faith in Moore, Penney and Talbot for a while. Improvement is needed and quick otherwise this new stand will be bloody empty. I am dissapointed to say the least, after the start at Stevenage and the way we played early season had suggested goals and entertainment we are now back to alehouse football. I dont know what Johnson has learned in his first year in management apart from realising that the job is much harder than he ever imagined. Improvement is needed and a settled team would be a start!

Lee Sinnott Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I thought MK were very good in the first half, as good as I've seen all season : especially the tall lad in midfield (Ali)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookmeister Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I didn't go tonight - last minute decision as I had a :censored:load of work on. Pissed off at the time, until 3 minutes in....I listened to LP, and I could visualise every play in my head - because I've seen it so many :censored:ing times before. Sooo many times it's now getting rather monotonous. Struggle to get it to half way, pass it sideways half a dozen times then lump it to a corner. Lose the ball, sit deep. Repeat. Jesus, even my kids don't want to go anymore. Good job their season tickets only cost me £10 each. If it wasn't for Gary Harkins I'd be considering my own ST. I think last Saturday's result really papered over the cracks - we should have lost that game, and I think most realised this. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the win, so many times over the years we've played well and got nothing in return. But we were poor and a better side would have won. Like tonight? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong there.... I've been a bit worried since Christmas. Prior to that (as a friend has pointed out) we had plenty of reasonable players on decent contracts. Many of these have now gone and been replaced by, in my opinion, :censored:e. Dunfield, Lockwood, Wilson, Stead. Or not replaced at all. Many will say the centre halves have been solid so far. I can't say I've seen it. Lucky perhaps, like last Saturday. We've lost quality and replaced with :censored:e. We seem to be reaping what we have recently been sowing. What are we preparing for????
