Littlemoor Lad Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 1 minute ago, Wardie said: So, he asked players to play in unfamiliar roles, in a defensive set-up, hoping their natural instincts would catch Chesterfield on the break and snatch a win? If not, stay in shape. The return of Ward, Lundstrum and Green can't come soon enough, even then, there ain't no guarantees. I think with those three returning we'll definitely have more balance and I'm sure Dave can't wait for that to happen, We got away with it today but we'll have far easier game's to make plenty of comparisons with the set up and player's used to grind out wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Although we effectively parked the bus I've seen many worse performances over the years, Chesterfield were quite slow in their build up and didn't create much themselves. I don't class them in the Wrexhan and Notts County category of last season. Hopefully, this tactic was a one off and we can go on the front foot from now on and stop using square pegs in round holes. The lack of condition of the new signings is a concern and not sure when they will be match fit. The return of Green will add some much needed pace and the centre backs may have to be juggled to find the right combination. It's early days, but we do need to improve or risk becoming a mediocre middle of the league team. Edited August 19, 2023 by BP1960 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Aldershot last weekend, we've yet to see a dominant performance from an Unsworth side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw not at all unreasonable Sod all, apart from the sitter Grigg missed to make it 2-0 and game over. We were very very poor today and got out of jail - not that a draw against a fairly average Chesterfield team is anything to get excited about. I was ashamed of our performance today and ashamed of the halfwits who invaded the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddot_m Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Unsworth clearly cannot adapt from a plan - he plays with a training ethos where the result seems superficial, tactically inebriated, uninspiring and ineffective tactics. I’d love it to work with him in charge, but how can it!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKing521 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) He must go. He is a toxic ingredient that the club does not need. I understand the desperation to stick with him to try and potentially ‘best’ and prove that they are better than the old regime by sticking to their man. They shouldn’t worry about that because they already have proved they are better than the old regime in a multitude of ways. Having such a divisive individual at the forefront of our supposed plans to take the club forward just doesn't compute - it will inevitably crash and burn.

Struggling to believe what I'm reading in general. This board is becoming toxic on a scale that rivals the Lemsagam times.

He received a cross from the right and was in the box with only Hudson to beat. The chance had goal written all over it but Grigg decided to take an extra touch rather than shooting and then we got the run of the ball. Looked easier than Norwood’s chance to me. I don’t know about the board becoming toxic - I’d reserve that adjective for the idiots who came on to the pitch and who seemed to be having a moan at Frank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
