As I said in post about Nouble I think people were over-hyping him - personally thought he was crap at orient workrate in particular.
If he puts effort in can be a beast but needs to do it far more consistently......hopefully he kicks on from here!
I will be at Notts County game so looking for...
I think this has to be a defining moment for Pressley's reign.......he needs to be given a few games to really get a reaction out of this current squad of players that gets them playing remotely to their full potential. If he can do this we can go on a run and go up the league.....if we have...
I think with our current resources Allsopp should be our number 1 ahead of burge but agree ideally need
a better/more experienced keeper - Murphy or Kirkland would be nice but cannot see either being allowed to go out omn loan,
Both good number twos for club and not sure either would want to...
Yep he did well and will have been stung by being dropped for Burge!!!???
I know I would be if in his shoes - as I said think he'll do fine.
Other areas of team concern me at moment - I think Barton & Finch as central midfield partnership
needs to end sooner rather than later - Finch done...
O'Brien's effort cannot normally be faulted he was good at Orient - sounds like he had a shocker today but it happens
and he will not be the first of last that has a shocker. I am sure he is pretty embarassed and angry and the fan baiting him rightly or wrongly
was probably the last straw...
Allsopp simples - I'd love to get loan keeper may happen who knows but not for next three games I think.
Allsopp looked ok today and got kick up the ass by being dropped for Burge!! I think he'll do ok he won't be the worst
of our problems next three games I fear!
On Paper our squad overall looked on a par with last year - certainly more competitive at league 1 level in compariosn to our league
rivals and current league position. The fact the team are underperforming has to be levelled at themselves and of course Pressley,
Sisu do not coach the players...
Allsopp is better than Burge currently end of.
Allsopp is nowhere near as good as Murphy that is where the main problem lies.
Burge should be Allsopp's understudy imo he is not yet at his level.
I suppose the main debate is do we think Burge will improve dramatically given a chance.
Although...
Great news happy for lad his attitude was spot on for us if he continues to maintain his workrate and attitude he can only get better!
Well done Callum! :claping hands:
I thought Nouble was crap at Leyton Orient - I think his main problem is consistency/attitude. When he can be bothered great player but he cannot be bothered
one game in two - he definitely appeared to be going through the motions at Orient.
I think in his own mind Nouble rates himself as...
Think Orient were there for the taking today but we looked poor too. Overall draw correct result neither side played well enough
to deserve the victory. Just relieved we got something out of it in the end.
Surreal moment came on way home when Leyton Orient's lump of a centre forward got on...
I think Finch is too young would not risk him so would either go with.
a. Move Fleck into centre and introduce Coubillay out wide.
b. If keeping Fleck out wide move Hines up into defensive mid role and bring Webster back in as centre half.
Don't mind either option b makes more sense to me...
Im there not sure looking forward to it or not - a lot more than at half time today!
Surprised Orient doing so badly thought they would be right up there signed some good players on paper
Henderson got sent off today so will be suspended! Should be a close,good game!!
I still cannot fathom why Redfearn did not get the job after his caretaker stint! Hopefully he might get a crack at it full time now,,,,,though not sure id wish it on him with the owner!
I think 4-4-2 was the wrong formation for this game......Fergie knew we would revert to it kept three up and we could have been dead and buried by half time.
It was key personnel returning a cahnge in mentality and spirit and some luck that got us the win not 4-4-2 formation today.
That being...
Not me was a big fan of Murphy......not a big fan of Allsopp at all but he is definitely the best we have at the moment.....Burge is not ready and tbh think je is probably only conference league standard at best presently though young so hopefully he can/will improve.
