Theoutsider Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 30 minutes ago, Andyt84 said: The tactic would work if our 2 big strikers played like Desierve did for Halifax yesterday. It just looked a different game when Desierve was challenging our defenders. He did get away with a lot yesterday which I think had it been Fondop or Nuttall doing would have been a free kick everytime. Fair point, for them it did work can’t disagree. Don’t think either of our centre halves could deal with him yesterday and he did cause problems for sure. I don’t know enough about Nuttall other than the home games he has played for us, but not sure he is that type of player anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman gets the ball, waves everyone forward and punts it to Fondop or Nuttall. Majority of the time centre half wins the header, we lose the second ball because we don’t press and possession is the back with opposition, rinse and repeat. Not a dig at Norman either, long ball seems to be the tactic, it’s shite to watch and isn’t working. How often in a game do we string 5-passes together? Not having it that it’s down to ability, they are professional footballers we’ve played in theory lesser opponents with lesser players who don’t need to do that, so why do we? I always wonder why they don’t have one or two player on the other side and kick to them,When the other 18 are on the other side of the pitch or play a ball to half way line and pick it up.

I can't see what type of player he's supposed to be because he just looks like a passenger to me. He may be a great finisher but we won't create chances for him if he can't hold the ball and bring others into play or control the headers when he actually manages to win one.

bazerx Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Chapman out wide? I assume you've seen something in him I haven't. His only acceptable games for us have been in centre mid.

Modern coaching. Same reason that so many sides, even Premier League, bring every player back at corners. Condense the play, block the space.

Yawn Yes fucking tedious, particularly when you attempt it with non league players who average about half a dozen fuck ups a game each, then when you concede they don't have a clue because they were sent out to play for a 0-0.... What is all this 0-0 game shite that Unsworth spouts like it's some sort of fucking achievement, reminds me of the time Banide went up to Barrow looking for a 0-0 last season when Barrow hadn't scored or won for about 3 months.

II would play Chapman in a Cheltenham XI and as far away from an Oldham one as possible. Never going to be anywhere near as good as our other Chapman's stools and is marginally better than our other Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
