Hope everyone acknowledges all this squabbling is pointless, we’ll have Jodi Jones back in a month and the weird brothers’ secret machine learning models will find us a couple more Jattas in January.
We didn’t deserve anything, thought we were terrible to be honest, and my frustration with Maynard is that, knowing all our best players are out, why are we not playing that way? To get beat by effectively a counter attack from a corner when the only man back is that lead-footed gnome Sam Austin...
Usually scoff at people bemoaning injuries but if you’d shown me that team at the start of the season I’d have assumed there’d been some sort of tragedy.
Scott and Austin as part of a front 3…fuck me
Another ‘good point’ but also another poorly managed game against a good side, getting very boring now.
Unless Crowley is injured, not bringing him on for Brown or Austin there is unfathomably weird
having Langstaff and Jatta back to back has really been the sort of nice thing that usually we’re not allowed.
I can’t remember what it was like to not have a 30 goals a season striker
Very noticeable wasn’t it. Crowley’s great, wouldn’t want this to sound like criticism but it’s infuriating watching him and Palmer seeing who can drop the deepest. Palmer and Abbott look our best partnership in the middle, just wonder if Maynard’s able to get someone like Crowley (who wants to...
The inverted wingback thing makes sense and I think he was proven right with Jones and you can see the benefits to Tsaroulla on the right too - the problem he has though is that he doesn’t have anyone else on the left who can accommodate it holistically. I think Gordon’s decent but he’s clearly...
Wins a win I suppose. I thought Tsaroulla and Palmer were outstanding,
Harrogate were dreadful so I think not being able to stick 3 or 4 past them is the negative. Goals look hard to come by for us currently which is a worry
First starts for Josh Martin and Jevani Brown for us today. Crowley the latest player to get injured. Hope Brown has a good game, he seems to have already been designated as our boo boy for the season despite his only game time really being as a baby sitter for our youth team in the cup.
We...
Swindon aren’t really in a great position to attract anyone good at the moment so rolling the dice on a complete headcase is about as good a strategy as any
You do get the sense Holloway is just one of those managers that football left behind though, great during the Soccer AM banter era of...
Notts basically signed Jamie Jellis ahead of last January and it fell through for some reason and he signed for Walsall. That’s starting to look rather annoying.
Woeful, we’re miles off it. Can’t tell if the pitch is terrible or all our players have lost the ability to control and pass a ball. All just looks very disjointed, players in areas they logically shouldn’t be etc…
also…swap. Tsaroulla. And. Gordon.
I honestly don’t know what Maynard needs to see before he abandons playing Tsaroulla and Gordon as inverted wingbacks and plays them on their stronger side. It’s complete madness.
cobbled together a decent side tonight given some fitness issues although Bedeau and Abbott dropping out is annoying.
Also an incredibly worrying looking bench. A goalkeeper, 3 centre backs for some reason, a 19 year old wingback yet to make his league debut and Martin & Brown who Maynard...
