Londonboy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Nah. No more than 6500 and a 1-1 I recon at a wet and windy Boundary Park. York will bring 500 or so. Think more will turn up Saturday providing York don't stuff us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Thompson says all the correct things in the pre match. Confirms Norwood is suspended. Says we should focus on us and we have the quality. Let’s see what the players do tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I think we need to shake things up tomorrow a bit, but will also need to rely on the more senior players. So my team would be: Norman Freeman Hobson Hogan Kitching Tollitt Gardner Sheron Green Reid Nuttall Raglan, Dickinson, Fondop, Shelton, Willoughby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he's had a chat with them all.Hopefully this will have allayed some of their frustrations and they'll be a bit more happy and relaxed.

oafc1955 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 It would be great to get a win and start climbing the league from tomorrow but I’m not sure it will happen so quickly. Unsworth had to go, absolutely, but the players have to carry the can too. Have we got as good a squad as we are led to believe?…….because they haven’t shown anything at all so far both individually and collectively. Was Unsworth holding them back? Yes I think so! Were his tactics in certain matches wrong? Absolutely! Are these players good enough? I’ve no idea tbh! We are about to find out, starting tomorrow!

We have past league and promotion winners from this league and others, a league 1 striker and defender, the best defender in the national league last year, the best LB in the league and a wealth of strikers most in this league would have no problem putting in their team. I think they are underperforming massively! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I genuinely think that Sutton should not be playing as a right back - he is caught out of position far too often. The one thing I want to see tonight is an increase in tempo from the team - too many seem too slow in thought and movement. If Freeman is not injured, he has to come in and Reid and Willoughby would be my choice to start as a front two. But what do I know about what’s really been going on on the training ground? Zilch. Thompson has been on the training pitch with the players since Jeffers left and should know his preferred starting eleven - his pre match comments suggest that he is not entirely in agreement with our ex manager’s approach. Let’s see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what happens. yeah l get both points. the Raglan situation is identical to the Norwood one for me, he has to play. also l never want to see Sutton as RB either. Hogan is my CB sub and l might even be sending Will out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then have Tollitt, Big Mike, Gardiner and Sheron to come off the bench to shore things up if required. Let's just bin this Shelton and Sheron crablike shit football, dominate the midfield, and give York something to think about. Ward and Dickenson should be well able to hold a midfield together and would be a decent left/right foot combo in the middle I think. Ward may only last 60 mins so can be replaced with either Sheron or Gardiner to suit the match situation. Willoughby can play left in a more advanced roll dropping back when we are out of possession. Sorted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted! arent Ward and Dickenson both LM's? l can see your plan but l think only one of them would work in CM alongside a CM. that being said l would pick Ward/Dickenson untried over Sheron/Shelton. that is proven to death does not work.

Sorted! Yeah it’s a hard one. Went with Tollitt as he’s proven he can score and will have something to prove. Not sure I trust Ward and Dickinson as a midfield two. I don’t think Gardner and Dickinson have the legs as a midfield two. Ward I think he’s better suited to a midfield 3 and then Sheron and Shelton is a no go. - left me with Gardner and Sheron. Reid and Nuttall as we know them two can cause problems when played together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
