Top bloke but probably National League level where he would be great for an Altincham or similar Yeah Gary Neville was spot on, he's a decent Conference player but nothing more.

He's not good enough to start for an ambitious, promotion-chasing and financially-backed club like Salford. He is good enough to start for a bottom-half L2 team like us.

Worcester Owl Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm sure our esteemed owner wants to get out of L2 and (hopefully) in the right direction like Salford. The difference is he's taking a more patient approach. Slowly, slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yesterday, for the 30 or so minutes that we could actually see anything, the team as a whole were woeful. The playing surface and visibility were poor and the game should not have started; and It was apparent to me that our players simply were not happy to be out on that pitch. Write off the game and concentrate on a week of doing the basics properly before we, undoubtedly, get knocked out of the cup by Bournemouth.

I have the feeling one or two players have had their eyes focused on the Bournemouth game for some time. Yesterday there were a couple of 50/50 balls and on occasions some of our lads seemed to hold back. After listening to Kewell's comments yesterday he gave the impression that the game had been in doubt before the kick off, he also referred to playing football as being a job and therefore players should be prepared whatever the situation, perhaps some of our lads already had it in their minds that the game would be a none starter.

At this stage of the season we shouldn't be working on getting the basics right, that should be a given for a professional footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?? We're playing Bournemouth at home, it's not exactly glamorous. I think their hearts wasn't in because the conditions were terrible and they probably knew the game was going to get abandoned.

Guy Branston Pickle Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 One of our issues is we don't really have any "middling" professionals in the squad who put in a 6-7/10 every week, never really do anything special but are solid and don't make many errors, the kind of player we probably took for granted in League One. We have several players who are capable of creating something out of nothing, and several players who are just really, really poor unfortunately.

I think this is what HK is referring to in TheBigDog's previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Baxter looking for a new club. It would be like having Messi next to some of this lot...... Whether he would consider coming back or whether even AL would be prepared to fund it I would have him back in a heartbeat.......... YES or NO ?

How many players returning to the club have been anywhere near as good second, or in this case third, time round ? We're desperately short of a bit of class in midfield but the omens aren't good.

It is the FA cup and will receive a wider media coverage, obviously it will not be hitting the highs of Grimsby or Forest Green. Isn't the game being shown on BT?
