Our entire game plan appears to be passing sideways until the opposition are bored to death, then punt it nowhere in particular
Harsh, we have been the better team by a mile
And yet how often have we properly tested them? The one soft shot from TC and the header from Anderson?
"By a mile" is a massive reach
TC had a shot deflected narrowly wide, and there was that Taylor assist that somehow went over the bar instead of finding a Charlton player.
Not an assist if it didn't assist a goal is it.
It's called a pass
No need to be pedantic when its not needed... It doesnt make you look klever
You're right. I really enjoyed Anderson's goal that was saved by the keeper.
I do sometimes think our players come on here, read some of the things people decide to post and lose on purpose out of principle. I don’t really blame them
Scoreline is unfortunate but that was basically a decent first half from us and builds on the Birmingham performance. We’ve controlled possession, restricted them to nothing except the penalty (which on another day may not have even been given), have not reverted to the constant long balls we saw before Birmingham, and have worked a few openings through good passing and movement. Yes, the final moment of quality hasn’t quite been there yet, but we know we’re a work in progress so if you see progress (which we have today) then you have to give credit for that. Still plenty of time to win this or at least get a point.
Leaburn needs to come on for Anderson or Campbell, switch Tyreece to the wing, two many similar players in midfield. As for our two central defenders, bloody shocking, Stockport have not threatened and those two still look shaky. Another test of management for Jones, he needs to create a more offensive side this half, we can break them down but not with a flat midfield.
Need a few changes, A Campbell looks poor. Got to give Leaburn some time surely? Like the look of Taylor so far.
does he look any worse then docherty?
Both have been very poor. Midfield not working at all - second to the ball, can't tackle and either over hit their passes or go safety first sideways and backwards. Taylor can at least pass it forwards and take a decent corner and free kick.
i agree, its criminal we have waited this long to see Taylor, he is superior to the rest of the midfield
Defence also looking dodgy without Jones - Gillesphey is useless in the air and Mitchell is not comfortable on the ball but they keep passing it to him!
Honestly, not the worst half, we've been in control for the most part and moved the ball fairly well BUT without doing much at the business end to cause them any real trouble.
A moment of some utterly shocking defending and they take an undeserved lead, if we didnt gift them that, then I think we go in 1 up. The goal gave them the perfect excuse to start with the "game management"
Anderson or A campbell off for Berry TC or Godden off for Leaburn

i have no idea what Gillesphey is good at, slow, cant win ball in the air, poor on the ball, turns like a tyreless truck

Do you remember last season’s defence? To be calling what we’ve seen today dodgy after being subjected to last season seems a bit churlish.

both can be dodgy, the goal was the definition of dodgy defending, just because last year was worse doesn't make this not dodgy

Hope he proves me wrong.

Gillesphey is quite shite.
What’s mental is deciding he’s not good enough as a striker after less than 10 starts as a 21 year old.
Not sure which one
He's a wide player
Ahadme isn't a good centre forward either
Happy to discuss this very post at the end of the season and see who was right.
