rteoafc Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Credit to Wellens for the substitution last night as well. On the face of it a defensive move when we were 1-1 and looking to win the game but we were losing a bit of control and Omrani helped solidify the midfield. I wouldn’t advocate changing anything about how we’re playing at the moment but potentially the beginnings of a Plan B with Omrani and Fane in midfield when we need a more solid base for others to push on ahead? (although Omrani also does look like he can play a bit too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I can't have that Gardner needs to play centrally, if there's a problem out wider that needs dealing with separately not by moving one of our key men out there.

Gardner looked better wide last night, probably as he could preserve his energy more as he looked shattered in the centre. I just think we need to make room for Omrani as he looks a classy all round player. Wins headers, shows for the ball and good distribution. Its pleasing to see a manager making subs that influence the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedtobeWozzer Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Last time we beat Bury at home we were in the midst of the Chris M**re takeover. They had a promising left back we signed for £200k not long after. Now we’re in the middle of a takeover and Bury had a promising left back. Coincidence? I think not.

He even got an assist against Peterborough. I'll write Rotherham off, it was a long time ago now and no one played well there. Covers plenty of ground when he gets on and seems capable of putting his foot on the ball and picking out a pass.Good to see we've decent options available from the bench.

We had a lot more bite in midfield when he came on, they were walking through our midfield before that. Great substitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've left out Ruddy & Wilson but in other years they may have been first choice to amek an entire team. Gerrard Edmundson (developmentally rather than 1st team regular at this stage) Flynn Kyremeh Nepomuceno Green Maouche potentially if unknown Osei Tope Duffus (through injury obvs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Edmondson had another good game for AFC Fylde last night, another clean sheet and they've yet to concede since he's been there, not sure where Jamie Stott was, he wasn't named in the matchday squad of 16.

rigsby Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 One thing wellens needs to have a word about is the showboating...im all for the fancy flicks but he needs to tell gardner in particular A he isnt brazilian B ok when we are 3 or 4 nil up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisA Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I think the Cruyff turn is just Gardner's thing. He was doing it when we were losing games, it hasn't just appeared since we won a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both our full backs were outstanding considering how isolated they were. Omrani the difference. I would look to start him on Saturday pushing Gardner out wide. I'd go with this too to give us that bit more solidarity certainly away from home. Menig could definitely give us something from the bench though if we are looking for a goal late on anykind of creative spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bobby Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I am still very happy with my bets just after loss to Charlton. Top half 11-1. Play offs 66-1. Promotion 250-1. If all 3 come up I may be able to help buying Doyle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his post match interview the other day RW blamed himself for the equalising MK goal because he said he'd asked the team to play so high up, so it may be he is simply following instructions. It has been pretty effective so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Menig the English 3rd tier is probably as different from the Dutch top flight as it’s possible to be in terms of the style and pace of the game. He’s got enough talent to get there but it may take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has and in time we will see this, which is why maybe for now atleast we will see him from the bench making an impact from there.

Best player first half at MK imo. A constant threat down the left and had the beating of the full back easily. He starts for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
