HarryBosch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I hope not as we simply do not have the player who can play the lone man up top. Erwin did it well against Wigan. Which seems such a long time ago now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 While Fane is suspended the manager will probably have to turn to players he doesn't trust. What does he says to them "I don't trust you, but have to play you anyway" ? Sounds like it... “I’ve said to the boys either on the bench or in the stands that until I learn to trust them, I’m going with that team and I’ll be sticking with it. “Until I get new players in that I know what they will give me then we will end up progressing up the league." Which of course he cant stick with as Fane is suspended for the Southend game. I'd trust nobody if I were Robbo. Or everybody. :censored:, I'm confused....

the_mighty_bosh Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Which of course he cant stick with as Fane is suspended for the Southend game. Surely if Rochdale can use the EFL Trophy for Andrew's suspension we can do the same for Fane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just seen the Southend team that beat Cov at the weekend. Mostly solid with a few wildcards in Anthony Wordsworth, Simon Cox, Nile Ranger and Anton Ferdinand. They're also unbeaten in their last 9 league games. I think we might have to be the best team out of possession again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Erwin did it well against Wigan. Which seems such a long time ago now.... Since when did playing 1 up top have to mean long ball anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Since when did playing 1 up top have to mean long ball anyway? It doesn't, but your 1 needs to be able to hold the ball up - either from running the channels and/or being strong with his back to goal. Either way, he needs a good first touch, whichever body part he uses to keep hold of the ball with, I don't think any of our 3 current first team forwards can do this. McKay & Ladapo might benefit from playing around a target man. I can't fathom out what Erwin's best position is. He's like Danny Philliskirk.

yarddog73 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Erwin is the greedy kid in the playground who has ability but won't pass to anyone, on the odd occasion he's kept his game simple he's been far more effective but the team would probably be better off without him.

Stainrod Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I always wonder about a players psyche, you tell them that if you help us to win games in the cup we can generate some cash to get in players to replace you! How is that thought going to inspire them. Perhaps explains why we lost at Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their are probably plenty of reasons why the players put a no show in against Lincoln that isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Bloody hell, I've heard of slowing the game down but that's taking it to an extreme. The Chron once made a misprint 'David Shaw scored in the 90th day'. Another one was instead of a 'scrappy' game the s was missed out. The best Chron misprint though was reporting on a local cricket game. 'The Saddleworth opener scored a double century - a feat last achieved in 1066'.

Flemboy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well done.Nice to see what Fane can do as well.He looks far better going forwards than the likes of Green.Need to get a win at Mansfield and stay clear of our Chesterfield jinx. I'd swop all that for some league points though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Well done.Nice to see what Fane can do as well.He looks far better going forwards than the likes of Green. Really? He picked up the ball, ran 10 yards into open space and made a 5 yard pass. It was hardly groundbreaking... Green has made some decent runs this season and been part of some decent passing around the opposition box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
