Magic Mikey Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 1 hour ago, wiseowl said: My point was clearly referring to the importance of Fondop presently, NZ. Without his recent form/goals, we'd now be out of the FA cup, at our first hurdle, to the mighty Chester and we'd be on 14 points in the league. That's relegation candidates. Matters not that there might be a few other candidates too; you can't argue against the fact we would be candidates. Imagine Fondop out for the next 6 games. Too scary to think about to be honest. You can't say that if Fondop doesn't play the outcome would definitely be different. Someone else would be playing and we don't know if we would obtain the same, better or a worse result. I agree with your opinion that we would miss Fondop with the current alternatives, but that's a ridiculous use of statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Fondop is pretty key in how we play at present. If that changes - great - I hope it does because it's dire to watch presently. I`m still on a high from the takeover but, like BP1960 has alluded to a few times, unless we start playing some attractive football/winning we are in danger of the people who have returned to watch us, disappearing again. That would be really sad as we have a great base to build from with the "feelgood" factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both seem to play close to one another, so fingers crossed a decent partnership will form. I've gotta say that from the highlight of the goal I've seen, I thought Carty meant that as a pass rather than a shot (albeit a scuffed pass). Agree that he looks like the type of player who could play off a big man like Fondop or (if fit) Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's not over big he's hard to barge off the ball, has a decent left foot and made an assist with his other one. He's also played Gaelic football so he'll be able to "look after himself." I'd start him on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would work I think. The further we get Tollitt away from our goal the better. When he's in our half he invariably passes backwards and has never picked up a man to my recollection. The problem would be getting Unsworth to ditch 3/5 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
