Spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play McGahey on Tuesday and play Sheron in midfield in place of Cooper and Gardner back for Burgess. I agree with this for the most part to make us more solid, but if Burgess gets dropped instead of Stobbs then there's no real justice. Norman Clarke McGahey Hogan Francis-Angol Burgess Gardner Sheron Tollitt Porter Hope It could easily turn into a 4-3-3 if needed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can Neil Redfearn Do It Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I think some are getting carried away with Dorking's performance. Their play had part-time written all over it. Their threat amounted to 2 good shots through crowded penalty box and 2 wicked crosses from the left, all courtesy of the same player. Guaranteed to struggle and should have been put to the sword by a Latics side with much the better players but that never really clicked. Plenty to work on and with for Shez & Tommy.

Lukers1 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 We need a hard dirty bastard in midfield who can put a foot in and make the ball stick. Darren Sheridan about 20 years ago would have been mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fane was doing it in League 1 not League 2 or the Conference. He’s still doing it in League 1 now and is a lot better with the ball at his feet than he was when he was here. He would absolutely dominate this league, he did when he was at Kidderminster hence why we signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorking had 14 attempts yesterday - 7 on target. Two more than we did. They had 5 corners and bossed the possession. They played some slick passing football and I liked the way they left three upfield when defending corners and free kicks plus the way they stretched the play. Refreshing to watch. Ultimately this cost them the game but their performance was certainly better than part time They will learn too I suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Just one bit of a negative from the Athleticos who were once again brilliant yesterday.....the one's who stood on the hoardings after we scored and were quickly copied by youngsters. It's literally just a step from pitch incursion and in the current climate needs nipping in the bud. Sorry for being an old fogey but you're not setting a good example to our even younger supporters.

He's must have something on Shez to warrant the faith the manager has in him, totally ineffective yesterday and his delivery was shocking, chalk and cheese in just one week. There must be someone coming in this week, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played really well, and the idea that we should just steam roller teams, with players like Stobbs in the side is a nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm being harsh then but I do think you're generous. Dorking didn't boss anything, they passed it when invited to but lacked quality when not i.e. the final third (left back aside). Plus every time they were turned they looked likely to concede. Definitely a regular for the wrong side of my win btts trixies me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I thought our stand outs in the match were Norman, Hogan, Tollitt & Porter. Norman for the good saves with strong hands pushing the ball away from the two good shots by Dorking. Hogan looked reassuring, calm and doing a good captain role in the centre of defence. Tollitt impressed me with his strong quick running forward and chipped in with a goal again. Porter, just being Porter and running the forward line and keeping the Dorking central defenders honest. Not quite sure why Shez and Tommy allowed all game the freedom of the middle section to Dorking. Their central midfield lad (18 Moore I think) found himself space and passed it all all game. Their wing backs could press on at will at times and indeed it was their lad down the left that brought good saves out of Norman. In fact I think he's worth our scouts keeping an eye on. So in summary, It was nice to get 3 goals and a cracking party atmosphere however it certainly wasn't a top drawer performance in all aspects of a match. Very much a work in progress and providing we do progress then a play off place at least should be realistic. Frank is just bangers!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could but we gave it straight back to them again. If a neutral was watching that match and you asked them who was the part time outfit was they wouldn't have given you the right answer. I'm hoping Gardner fixes a lot that was wrong yesterday but that is a bit of a worry being so reliant on one man so early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloshed Joe Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Shez mentioned throw-ins during his post match iv & I agree with him. It’s a hangover from last season as well. Most throw-ins we take are miscontrolled or given to someone under pressure & we lose the ball. Pretty much every Dorking throw-in was received by someone in acres of space and a Latics player yards behind & no pressure. There was one in the 2nd half that was taken and thrown to a CM almost in the centre circle able to control and run forward without challenge. Was baffling to watch.
