Who would have come in for him? Also. Why on earth Baxter can’t do 90 mins or even consistently do an hour and then come off is baffling.

Baxter is a worry. Looks like his legs are made of lead. Edited September 8, 2018 by kowenicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_ULTRA Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Not enough quality today when it mattered and the quicker Gardener is dropped the better, he has been poor for the last three matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ain't winning promotion with Chris O'Grady in your team. Yet Baxter offered nothing when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I don't think it was THAT bad. We had a lot of the play we just struggled to break them down. Zeus - one great save, couple of decent ones. Solid. I wouldn't drop him. Taylor - steady again and delivered some great balls Clarke - usual self, bit lucky near end to not concede from him being undecided Edmundson - solid. Gets better each game Hunt - looks unsure at times. Some poor balls Lang - very good performance from him. Looks a threat just need someone playing the balls through to him that he played through Gardner - good pressing and closing down but woeful passing again Missile - didnt put a foot wrong. MOTM easily Branger - didnt get in the game at all today Surridge - tireless, put himself about well as per O'Grady - some very neat touches but frustrating with such a lack of pace Baxter - should have done better with his header. Didn't get to have much effect on anything Good team performance just lacking that killer ball or shooting rather than looking for an extra pass or crossing earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, someone mentioned Branger as mom - not a chance, in my previous post I didn't mention Taylor but he was excellent, Hamer also can't be far away from a start in front of Hunt who is going backwards. Thought Edmondson was great today got Clarke out of trouble on more than one occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Thought Newport did a typical away job on us. Solid and organised in defence, soaked up whatever pressure we threw at them then nicked one when they could. Something they probably trained for all week and executed it perfectly.

Didn't get to have much effect on anything Good team performance just lacking that killer ball or shooting rather than looking for an extra pass or crossing earlier That, for me, is a spot on assessment. We probably didn't deserve to win it, but certainly deserved a point. They had four shots all game, all on target. We had thirteen with five on target so that, members of the jury, is where we are falling down. I thought we played some decent football at times, but that final ball is missing and too many crosses go astray. Compare Taylor's crosses with Gardner's. When Nepomuceno is back, I'd play Lang central with Surridge, but that probably means keeping Bang-Bang on the right. He could play on the left as he's left footed, but would Nepo be effective on the right? Special mention goes to Missilou; MOM for me. Got stuck in, won the ball back so many times and his passing wasn't too shabby, either. De La Paz was solid, too. A couple of excellent saves, especially the one going in the top corner in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he did get it in open play he gave it away and he really really needs to stop taking dead ball situations. So bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's "on it", I'd always have Gardner. Once again, he wasn't "on it"...more to the point, he was nowhere near "on it". I like Gardner, but his confidence is "shot to pieces"...….so how many more starting opportunities should he have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_latics Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Strap Gardner to a rocket and fire him to the moon. So poor. Missilou getting a lot of credit: think he was at fault for the goal?

kowenicki Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Despite the shit they got early on I think I’d start with 3 #frenchlads in our midfield next week. Missile, Maouche and Nepo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner defiantly gave the ball away in the lead up to the goal, if Clarke had a go at Missilou he's a cheeky cunt because that man was head and shoulders above Clarke and Gardner combined.

OneSizeFitz Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Unlucky to lose - but we probably weren't clinical enough in the final third to deserve more than a point. Newport got two more than they came for; I'm yet to see a decent side in this league. Thought Missilou, Lang, Zeus and Taylor played well. Edmundson was pretty good too. Branger was largely anonymous, and Surridge didn't have his best game. Baxter did nothing when he came on. Gardner was poor for the last half-hour, but think some of the vitriol on here is a bit of an over-reaction... We've played worse and won games.

Decision making in the final third let us down today. I really like O’Grady, a very intelligent player but sadly his pace lets him down. Can tell he’s played at a higher level.

yarddog73 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The most disappointing aspect of today's performance is we now sit 10th when we could so easily be sat in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
