True Tic Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 He’s a half decent player who seems to know where the net is . Fondop looking (slightly) improved so perhaps there is a partnership there. Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 l like Fondop too theres someting there l reckon Rhino can get it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longlostfan Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 First off I'm pleased he is recovering. Before his injury he seemed to be making a better contribution. He has an engine on him- and we need mobility and forward options. Played forward enough he might be close enough to pick up some of Fondops flicks.

C.O.JONES Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Happy for the lad to be recovering, he works hard on the pitch but the fact is, he isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Good to see him getting better. He puts in a shift but, sorry, I think he's a donkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think he’s found his level in this league and looked ok the times I’ve seen him, and bearing in mind we have barely hit the back of the net without him he will be an addition when he’s back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Probably another player who, out of the need for a positive result, will be back before necessarily fit enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left of a front three yes, if you want to see what a wide left player looks like in an Unsworth formation have a look at where Luamba found himself today, on the touchline about level with his own area, shocking shape to the team, although by the sound of it he's trying to disassociate himself from the shitshow and what the lads are doing out on the pitch already.

I reckon he's playing 5 at the back because the 3 centre backs are probably the best players in team, however with full backs not wing backs the tactic lends itself to playing deep. Also the majority of midfielders we have are defensive minded so thats why the situation is as it is. This can only be addressed by recruiting forward thinking players. I was surprised after watching Rooney in training he looked effective playing just behind Fondop, yet in the Chester match he played more as a central midfielder. Why change what you were doing in training? As I mentioned Gardner should not have started this game, a full blooded cup tie where he was obviously not up to pace. If we have to start players who are about 75% fit it's a poor reflection on the quality of the squad. Looks like Wellens and Couto who can play as wing backs won't be considered and Harry Vaughan is in the wilderness. In the meantime the same displays are repeated over and over again like groundhog day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carragher looks the only player fit enough to play as a wing back, quite enjoy his little sorties, he really is the only player driving us forward at times and he's a relatively inexperienced centre half.

I.e a workhorse who is a bit shit but puts in a shift? Perhaps, but I think he might need 20 games to get National League match fit. He really isn't the messiah. He's shit. Tiny Tim is far better.
