BTA wasn't working out wide either EMC coming on seemed to align our shape

Yeah the threads daft

Sorry but that's plain ridiculous

But that formation collapsed second half against Wrexham

Which is why I think Lampard felt he had to play an extra midfielder tonight

He's done it more than once . I think it was a combination of BTA not as effective out wide and Eccles not quite at it first half EMC coming on just seemed to align everything

Allen looked a couple of times before playing the ball and could see Wright was offside

Not sure about that analysis of Eccles as he has proven he can play that role and be effective Maybe if EMC starts Eccles is more effective. Like I said on the match thread , BTA was anonymous out wide and Eccles wasn't quite at it , soon as EMC comes on we are on the front foot and BTA is back...

Met him a few times when he was with us as he was seeing a girl in Rugby and her parents used to drink in the same pub as us . He is a lovely lad , very grounded and no airs or graces about him

Correct And we withstood which good sides do

The ball of the game and Gurney asks " what is Allen doing there " , absolute whopper

Would've been relegation form 😉👊

His saves were brilliant, especially the early one but he seemed rooted to his line at times . Thomas and Kitching gave him stacks second half for not dealing with a couple of long balls

Like @skybluecam said and a few others , I think Frank felt we had to play another proper midfielder tonight after Friday's capitulation Turned out it was the wrong choice but Eccles wasn't that bad it's just we looked better with EMC left and BTA with Wright

We aren't Brazil 1970 FFS Playing badly and winning is the mark of a good side And we started to look scrappy when they were throwing on attackers , it happens at every level

Thought he was indecisive at times , a few of the back line were on at him to come out earlier and clear long balls .

I didn't think he was particularly bad , he could've scored and set up a couple of chances first half . Think it was more a combination of him not quite at it and BTA not offering much out wide . EMC had to come on and BTA looked much better centrally

Having two threats on the flanks made the difference, we had nothing left side in the first half

Think we need to give the coaching team a 10 . The improvement in the squad is incredible. Thomas and Kitching are just an incredible pairing DaSilva is a consistent 7 most games these days Torp showing and playing to his potential BTA ,wow , he was honking at times last season but he's on fire...
