I reckon there will be a couple more players in by the time the next match comes around and Unsworth will be on his way to replacing practically the whole starting eleven. I watched the highlights clip, which is nowhere near enough to gauge a performance, only that it looked better than any of the recent highlight clips. Unsworth appeared to be more relaxed and happier with the performance, in his interview. I am conflicted between wanting another game quickly and having the break to allow Unsworth a little time to get more out of them. I suppose there is no substitute for an actual competitive match but meh, we are now in limbo-land. Agree it looked much better I seem to have picked the game we (potentially) turn a corner to question the manager His starting line up doesnt appear to be as negative as it first looked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we were playing a side who had won 1 game since August and have shipped 42 goals already this season - we should be coming away from that game with three points...

LaticsLegend Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Looking at the highlights, we've created a bit more which is a positive, but it's still not quite free flowing attacking play. If Timmy could finish/we had a poacher up front, looks as if that would have been a comfortable win. Shame we have a break now. I don't think it will do us any good. Could do with Unsworth's new 'settled' side playing together little bit more and getting some of the newer lads more match fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseowl Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 An improved performance. Interestingly, on an artificial pitch but hard to judge if that was an influential factor (i.e. it's just one game). Optimism, however, has to be tempered somewhat as the opposition were dreadfully poor. A month, or so, ago Maidstone were beaten by Needham Market in the FA cup and 7 teams have put 3 or more goals past them, in the league, this season. The fact we haven't scored again is a big concern (not interested in good saves from the keeper etc. - that's to be expected in games). We have descended a long way on the playing front and we are desperately in need of a "vertical take-off". Glad we didn't lose and showed up better but I honestly think Chadderton F.C. might have beaten these yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 10 hours ago, Marco said: Highlights. Captures the game perfectly. Maidstone had one chance all game which Norman blocked with his legs. We should have scored three or four but we didn’t. As I wrote elsewhere, that was the disappointing aspect from yesterday. The encouraging side of things was that, irrespective of the quality of the opposition, we looked a far tighter unit. Everyone played their part. Yes we should be beating a team who are having as poor a season as we are. However the majority who were there yesterday will have seen some improvement. That’s all. A long way to go but still progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, BBC and Sky coverage of the NL is an absolute joke. When I looked earlier this morning, the Sky Sports app was still showing 10 of the 12 NL games as 0-0 at full time, it’s shockingly poor.

longtimeblue Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Unsworth was struggling to contain his delight in that interview. Still calling out 3/4 of the squad by saying it's difficult after what he's "inherited" (a team that were mid-table 8 weeks ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will come a day when it is his team and he'll have to come up with something else, ironically he says that but one of the worst bits of business we have done was signing John Rooney who he didn't trust to put on yesterday and I'd guess is one of our top earners - Unsworth signing.

I might be way off the mark here, but I think Rooney will have a role here once the team has a bit more shape to it. He has been playing deeper than Linda Lovelaces throat, further up the pitch with a solid back line behind him I'm sure we will get a much improved John Rooney.

The table at that point is quite irrelevant. We were clearly only heading in the same direction. The players are dogshit. I think and hope he’ll get it right.
