Unsworth signed both Chapman and Peck, and until yesterday, played Sheron at RB He did, but I think the length of the deals and the fact that they're loans spell it out that they are short term solutions. Sticking plasters, like I said. And a very marginal upgrade on Cooper, Burgess and Threlkeld who were were lumbered with at the start of the season. Additonally, I don't think a manager instructs his team not to press. I just think that some players have energy levels and ball-winning skills and some don't. And we're littered with players that are the latter rather than the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Monty, percentage wise, how many people do you think scroll past without reading what you say AND think nothing you say makes sense ?

U think they are being told to press and aren’t doing week after week and the manager is accepting that. If that’s the case the manager has lost the dressing room but not a chance that is happening. They are playing to instructions, sitting deep in shape. It’s clearly a tactic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 1% globally that is truly humbling to read and probably holds true if you go back through the ages so many in this country are amongst the wealthiest humans that have ever walked this earth…..even if we can’t afford the damn gas bill right now!

100milesaway Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 So back to the Notts county thread. Just watched what their pundits thought of the game. And the were very complementary of our tactics. And thinking about it, it was the first time this season that we didn't get passed to death in midfield. Yes, they had lots of the ball, but that was mostly in their own half. In my opinion the tactics for that match were spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
