MacDonald
Long C. Taylor Freestone
Jackson Perry (new signing we hope) Sercombe Ferry
May N’Lundulo
And make Alfie captain.
Kick some ass Mr Elliott.
Team for Saturday
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
If you watched the Posh game this was also apparent, once we made subs our team became noticeably weaker and we ran out of ideas especially going forward. It's probably time to shift a couple of this squad out the door Hutchinson, Raglan the obvious ones to go permanently and Lloyd/Ebanks/Barkers out on loan.
Agree with all of that that Robin, except i think Ebanks might have something to offer now.Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 09:35 If you watched the Posh game this was also apparent, once we made subs our team became noticeably weaker and we ran out of ideas especially going forward.

Raglan was wearing the armband last night. But he didn't do anything to warrant it. I'd give it to Alfie.
One (sort of) good thing is we still have three weeks to sort it.
Drifting off topic, but the next time we concede a goal our keeper needs to go down for treatment while the players reset and hopefully avoid the worrying quick fire goals we are conceding.
Have us nailed on for a good performance when we play Exeter in 10 days at St James Park!

Agreed but Chapman must be top of any get-rid list. He should not be anywhere near a L1 first team squad. He was the worst of the lot for me yesterday, closely followed by Raglan.Fuller wrote:Agree with all of that that Robin, except i think Ebanks might have something to offer now.Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 09:35 If you watched the Posh game this was also apparent, once we made subs our team became noticeably weaker and we ran out of ideas especially going forward.

He made a good pass once v Bolton and nothing before or since. Such poor quality and I’d be surprised if he broke sweat yesterday.

I don't like to single out players but totally agree about Chapman. He's had more than enough chances to show some improvement, but does absolutely nothing.Broadway Brian wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 10:16 ...

Raglan seems to struggle at this level, but given the other options I'd keep him for now, but only as an option from the bench.

I can see the point in trying to develop our own players, but we need to be much more selective about who we give long contracts to. I couldn't understand it at the time and still can't.

Hope we sign John Terry before Saturday, out of retirement, if so my middle three would be...

Lincoln offered to keep Long and he`s been one of our most reliable players as a rb. maybe we should drop the 3 man defence especially having 5 in midfield hasn`t made them more competitive,probably our weakness ?

I agree Everyman. Long is our best rb. Wide midfield players protecting the full backs might stop these crosses. The word is out on our weakness. We also back in on the keeper too much.
I agree with stopping crosses but there's only so much you can do against teams that have very good players in those positions (see Peterborough). We did a pretty good job of nullifying the crosses in from Barnsley and they then went up the middle.horlickfanclub wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 08:30 I agree Everyman. Long is our best rb.

I hope there isn't a long term issue with Williams he's key for us.
Although Williams was easily beaten twice round the back by Ward v Posh which resulted in goals.longmover wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 10:01I agree with stopping crosses but there's only so much you can do against teams that have very good players in those positions (see Peterborough).

There is a fundamental problem with our defence.
A new leader and organiser in there is essential. But the whole team needs to defend better from what I’ve seen so far.
