SweeperKeeper Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 No final ball today. A couple of decent balls into the box and we'd have seen them off. Any pass longer than 5m went astray, and that's just not going to work in any league. We're very static around the centre circle, so it's too easy for the opposition to cut out passes. No standouts today, and Fage had a complete mare after he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Woods made two important stops to make the scoreline not reflect that if we were still playing now we wouldn't have scored. Ref was shite... Lino was worse. Mills the only player to register on the did OK meter... Lots of work to do Dino.... Lots of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Can I also comment that in no way did the players or manager deserve the reception they got at the end. Some of our supporters are bigoted, ignorant fuck witts. I also heard the worst rant at a match official ever... Lino your wife tells you when you have your tea... I mean what the fucking hell is that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Makes you wonder doesn’t it... two different managers same formation no variation to that formation during the game despite losing. Don’t tell me the owners aren’t influencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south east latic Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 That was terrible today. Carlisle were awful but we had no idea of how to break them down. I’ve been pretty downbeat about our chances this season but went into this game full of optimism given last week’s result and Dino’s positivity. Unfortunately it was really, really poor.

It was the same group of players who have only won 1 in 9 this season prior to Dino's arrival. A few nice interviews doesn't change the fact that the majority of this bloated squad aren't good enough. It should come as no surprise we got beat yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No standouts today, and Fage had a complete mare after he came on. Just from watching the highlights Branger had what was effectively a free header at an open goal thanks to a decent cross and a keeper howler. Some good borderline legal defending made the chance much more difficult. We also created something from a Hamer long throw.

ShireBlue Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Too predictable, and so poor in the final third. What worried me was the complete lack of urgency and leadership on the pitch. Like others have said, Carlisle should have been there for the taking, but we just didn’t look up for it. It looks like some of these players have a free pass and are undroppable. I’d like to see either a centre mid dropped and Desiré and Wilson up front together. I don’t particularly rate either but we desperately need work defences more.

Ideally, Sylla wins the ball back, feeds attacking midfielder whilst Wilson and Azankpo make runs waiting to be put through. Maouche just doesn’t do this. Missilou might. Eagles might. Look at Azankpo’s highlight reel: when he scores it’s usually through the middle and to his feet. We seem to take the ball to the corner flag and (if we’re lucky) a cross comes in usually headed away by a CB 6”taller than Azankpo. Yes, we had two goals from crosses last weekend but I’d like to see the success rate of that move. Would love to see Wilson and Azankpo but we’d have to play to their strengths.

Lots of defences have either 2 big blokes or one big and one quick bloke at centre-half. The combination of Desire and Wilson will be able to create a physical mis-match against one of that sort of pair. With our midfield options we can find a decent 4 so we don't get out run in midfield without losing all the creativity. Or we could go to a back 3. Very few successful teams go a whole season where a striker isn't the top scorer. Our strikers aren't going to score many in the current system and we know Wilson has a bit of pedigree at this level.

Last season may have been a one off, plus he had a big partner. Maamria says he is scouring free agents for a CF. Even if Mo finds one, and he hasn't so far, the player won't be match fit for weeks. Always one pass too many yesterday and too much tippy tappy sideways and backwards football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittlePhilHill Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just watched Wilson’s 19/20 highlights. He can score goals - 1 in 3 at Macc - but, again, he scored a lot through the centre of the pitch not via crosses which seems to be our favoured attack. We need a decent number 10 to feed Azankpo and Wilson and a tall strong number 9 to get in the end of Mills, Morais crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyinthesnow Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I see in his press after the game, Dino says we have only 2 centre forwards. Assuming he means Azankpo and Wilson....hes obviously not a fan of Vera either. Did say he will try and get a striker in but that his hands are tied due to being outside of the window.

Carlisle got the better of us yesterday they sat in and made it hard for us to play our crisp passing game which is becoming ery predictable, very lightweight and no plan B. Just keep playing the same way god help us when the pitches start resembling council pitches in winter and we continue playing tippy tappy.. All parts of yesterday were shocking.. and maouche escaped being subbed again,must be a clause in his contract saying he must play 90 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
