penrhyn Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Basically Chorleys defence for the last 20 - 30 minutes consisted of players who of which some were playing out of position. Had never played together, and two of them were injured and should not really have been on the pitch.Think at 66 i could have scored against them. Its ok everyone saying Fondop this and that . I hope he has a good season and is more consistent and reverses his career trend of being a flash in the pan striker .Think all the forwards will have a role to play this year. And we should get behind them all. Edited July 24, 2023 by penrhyn typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the pitch at Curzon with the fitness team prior to the players coming out, as was McGahey at Southport. Got to say both looked in really good condition.

He takes up a lot of virtual column space for a player that is a) a long way away from the worst striker we've never had and b) a striker who hasn't even started our last two friendly matches. Plus, I guarantee Nuttall will be in the starting lineup come the first match. I'm not a massive Nuttall fan either. I thought he did an adequate job with virtually none existent service. He'll get better the more the ball is put to him in the right areas and he has the kind of dark art shithousery about his game that I fucking love. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I must be watching the wrong player, for a lad his size he spends his time in the oppositions pocket and hardly puts himself about, slapping some plumber who plays for Southport under the refs nose is hardly shithousery in my book, I think there is a player in there but he seems content to cost through games.

Sloshed Joe Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Getting that squad depth balance right is important. If we do get 3 more players in (without any more departures) then competition, even just for a place on the bench, will be tough. We’ll be picking 4 outfield subs from; Hope, Tollitt, Nuttall, Willoughby, Sheron, Sutton, Gardner, Couto, McGahey + 3 new signings (based on the last teamsheet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, the way he occupies centre halves is really good. Because it isn't Paul Warne style pressing though it goes unnoticed a lot of the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
