That is what I would describe our back line as tbh. But I would say our midfield and attack are quality for league 1 (when they are back fit).Chunes said:I have a bit of an issue with the word 'decent' being used to describe our first team players.
For 'decent', I read 'mid-table L1 standard.
To get out of this league we need good/outstanding players. We've not had a CB like that since we last went up.It’s difficult in one summer to get a team that is high quality in every position, even our last promotion team had a lot of ‘decent’ players playing a lot. But they had enough quality elsewhere on the pitch which we might also have.Do agree though that a CB should be a priority but I’m not sure it is so we will have to hope that Hector is just rusty and will get better, hope that Jones will improve and that Ness/Deji will step up3 -

What should we have done tactically?DubaiCAFC said:
Not totally shifting blame on Holden, but we have still had enough quality on the pitch to have got better results that’s for sure. What’s the saying, bad workman blame the tools.NabySarr said:
That’s a very simplistic way of looking at it, and a team playing that way probably wouldn’t have had more of the ball in every game we’ve played so far. Pressing and winning the ball high up is definitely a huge part of it, and players we’ve recruited like Camara and May fit that perfectly. We’ve been the best team in the league so far at winning the ball and creating chances from pressing and winning the ball high up. A striker might have helped us convert more of these chancesDubaiCAFC said:
Can you tell me how he wants to play? From what I have seen, it is to lump it then try and win the 2nd ball?? If that’s the case, then we have been recruiting the wrong playersNabySarr said:
Not sure it does. He’s not been given the tools yet so it’s hard to show an identity/style of play when you haven’t got the players you want yet. I think he’s got a clear idea of how he wants us to play but we can only see small bits of it at the moment because we don’t have enough playersDubaiCAFC said:Never pleasing people… we sign a someone who is decent, highly rated.Played in the premier league, had a decent loan at the end of the season in League One, but it isn’t enough..
Holden has already proven this year we are not going to stick to the same formation, it is a signing that gives us options, from the start or from the bench to change the game.
I expect 1 free in (Dabo) 2 or 3 loans and maybe one more fee being paid if the right deal can be agreed.
For me, our biggest issue is, we don’t really have an identity of the style of play, and that falls on the manager!Let’s see where we are at the end of October, before we start to turn!
We have seen a lot more longer passes over the top to May, which is another strength of his. When we have Leaburn we might see more direct passes going into him too, which will help free up May as defenders will be attracted to Leaburn’s presence. May has had to lead the line and stay central, but if you look at a lot of his Cheltenham goals he is running the channels, picking the ball up in pockets of space, cutting inside and shooting. A new striker can be that central focal point and allow May to find the spaces either side of him.
But that’s not the only way we’ve attacked, in fact Holden seems to prefer quite a varied/practical approach rather than sticking with one way of building attacks like a Ben Garner would for example. We’re high in the league numbers for slower build up attacks (would probably be higher if we hadnt lost Fraser) and also longer passes. Holden wants attacking football which we are seeing but it’s difficult when we don’t have the striker we can all see we need.Losing Fraser’s ball-playing abilities and Leaburn’s presence up top have definitely not helped and probably made it look more like we are just looking for long balls for May to chase and trying to win the ball high up the pitch, along with trying to isolate CBT into a 1v1 situation. But isn’t that Holden just trying to get the best out of what he has been left with?It is interesting to see the voices of the new regime start trying to shift the blame towards Holden when to the rest of us it’s obvious he hasn’t been given the tools yet
And no blame from the ownership, Holden is their man.I don’t think tactically we have been right last few games, and to many errors!1 -

Henry Irving said:DH said he was expecting one of the injured players back for the Oxford game in his post Port Vale interview but wouldn't name them.
Could be Deji who played for the U21s but I suspect not so who does that leave?
Leaburn?
Fraser?
Campbell

Why all of a sudden what happens on the pitch is down to the owners .. Curbishley , Dowie , Parkinson etc etc all got blamed for what went on the pitch never heard people attacking Richard Murray every day blaming himNabySarr said:
We definitely had enough quality to beat Port Vale, but I don’t really think we can blame Holden for that when we gift wrapped 2 goals for them. Even the third, if we had another option for Asiimwe and weren’t asking an 18 year old to play every minute then he’d probably deal better with it(or his sub would have done).DubaiCAFC said:

Tired players make more mistakes, and we have been forced into overplaying a lot of our players, some who have barely played senior football or have been injured recently. Combine that with a bench that is full of shit and it’s no surprise we lost the 2 games by conceding late goals.I don’t think we’ve lost the games due to tactics at all. Really don’t see how Holden could have set us up any differently that would have been better. We just don’t have the players available to do much else
for losing a home game .. it’s getting ridiculous2 -
He has and we have shown enough. The reason we aren’t on at least 7 points is individual errors. Which I think in this short term, you can’t really put on him. Hector’s mistake in that last game was so poor for someone of his experience.DubaiCAFC said:

I think individual errors are a mindset thing though and that is on Holden, especially given that’s something he talks about a lot. The Asiimwe one I can forgive because he must have mentally and physically exhausted by that point but there aren’t really any excuses for the othersRC_CAFC said:

No I'm sorry, Holden is not ready to be made scapegoat for the lacking transfer window. Everyone could see we were shafted since Leaburn got injured. This was supposed to be an exciting new era.11

That is a good point and hopefully we do add to it, but when we have Leaburn and May starting games that is probably the best front 2 in the leaguecafcfan1990 said:

Combine that with a bench that is full of shit and it’s no surprise we lost the 2 games by conceding late goals.I don’t think we’ve lost the games due to tactics at all. Really don’t see how Holden could have set us up any differently that would have been better. We just don’t have the players available to do much else
for losing a home game .. it’s getting ridiculous
Only one forum went back to praising him, after we got relegated to League 1, at the same point Lounge Passes started getting distributed8 -

I expect 1 free in (Dabo) 2 or 3 loans and maybe one more fee being paid if the right deal can be agreed.
For me, our biggest issue is, we don’t really have an identity of the style of play, and that falls on the manager!Let’s see where we are at the end of October, before we start to turn!
We have seen a lot more longer passes over the top to May, which is another strength of his. When we have Leaburn we might see more direct passes going into him too, which will help free up May as defenders will be attracted to Leaburn’s presence. May has had to lead the line and stay central, but if you look at a lot of his Cheltenham goals he is running the channels, picking the ball up in pockets of space, cutting inside and shooting. A new striker can be that central focal point and allow May to find the spaces either side of him.
But that’s not the only way we’ve attacked, in fact Holden seems to prefer quite a varied/practical approach rather than sticking with one way of building attacks like a Ben Garner would for example. We’re high in the league numbers for slower build up attacks (would probably be higher if we hadnt lost Fraser) and also longer passes. Holden wants attacking football which we are seeing but it’s difficult when we don’t have the striker we can all see we need.Losing Fraser’s ball-playing abilities and Leaburn’s presence up top have definitely not helped and probably made it look more like we are just looking for long balls for May to chase and trying to win the ball high up the pitch, along with trying to isolate CBT into a 1v1 situation. But isn’t that Holden just trying to get the best out of what he has been left with?It is interesting to see the voices of the new regime start trying to shift the blame towards Holden when to the rest of us it’s obvious he hasn’t been given the tools yet
And no blame from the ownership, Holden is their man.I don’t think tactically we have been right last few games, and to many errors!15 -
In isolation I agree but I think there’s a pattern of individual errors causing us goals. I rate Holden and think he’s doing a good job but lapses in concentration and how we react to them is something he needs to work with the team to eliminate surelysam3110 said:

I also agree with this, I would be far more worried if we were struggling to create chances and playing poorly. Overall we are playing far better this season than last season and creating a lot more. We have been downed but some individual errors that can't be blamed on the manager. Law of averages should mean we are fine. We should not have lost to Peterborough or Port Vale and arguably should have won both games on chances created. The Bristol Rovers game actually was probably the worst we have played but only lost to a 98th goal when we were trying to win the game.sam3110 said:

All is not lost yet, couple of wins in our next 3 games and it all looks a lot rosier.4 -
Another thing not really being talked about is the games we lost were back to back with not much time to fix anything on the training ground. If things aren’t better on Saturday after a full week’s training then that’s concerning but I think they probably will be better1

Think the blame for our poor start can legitimately be shared around fairly equally between the recruitment team, Holden and players. All three can improve and need to.8

This shows that the style of play is working to create chances. I do think that we are a work in progress and are on the right track, we just came into the season undercooked (and just can’t catch a break on the injury front).
Whoever we get in though, we must cut out those individual errors. Am a big fan of Hector’s but I just think he’s looked too casual this season which isn’t what you want from your experienced pro.6 -

I’d agree with that. Even though Thomas has probably been the best of a bad bunch so far from our centre backs. We have Deji who can be the backup to that left centre back role, we should have gone all out for a first choice that was an upgrade on ThomasCL_Phantom said:killerandflash said:
