I’ve a different take. If you’ve a midfielder or defender on an early yellow you need to factor that they are going to have to pull out of some 50/50s Drop Rudoni to the Eccles role, put Wright as a shadow striker or Andrews or whatever. Or, knowing we keep getting caught flat on the break...

Rushworth 5 Let in 3 and distribution poor. Needs to shout at his defenders and let them know he’s going to get the ball. He’s a better keeper / shot stopper than Wilson. Wilson shouts. Wilson has a golden glove. Rushworth is a better stopper but needs to control his box. You all know I’m...

It was like a Robins era game. pass back pass side pass back let them regroup because out strikers aren’t getting back onside.

Not sure he has. Missed a great chance. Some really poor long passing. (That I be where he totally over hit a pass to EMC springs to mind) plus suspect closing down.

No need for them to have both those corners if the goalie shouts

Short of lowering the pitch or putting in an extra tier (too expensive and too long a return on investment) then switching chairs and squeezing the most out of exec area is the easier way

I’ll have a bash. We’ve had 40000 in for concerts so fire escape certificate / insurance / police / medical certificate or whatever would be not so much an issue. I guess can increase it a bit to about 33-34k without too much infrastructure change. The posh seats that no-one sits at? Rip Half...

Eccles thinks he is better as a 6, but he also thought he could take corners.

Used him for what? He got £13k per week for being sullen and not playing.

I remember posting that it was a “strange decision” to spooge 13k per week (allegedly) on a 32 year old. I got pelters. This trope about needing an experienced striker; what was Godden? A youth player? (I did go on to say that we had no height or physicality in the front line with just Gyok...

I’m not buying into this. The colour of your skin shouldn’t give you an excuse to not fight for every ball and put in 100% Haji sometimes coasts through. BTA on the other hand chases every ball. Nobody calling BTA lazy. Cyrille was sometimes a bit lazy. I also thought Micky Quinn was lazy, he...

Frank said “a couple of weeks”. I think.

As I said elsewhere, with Wright out I do hope not allowing Frank to sign Bamford as a cover player doesn’t bite. I don’t particularly rate Bamford and “match fitness” and “blah blah” aside, an injury to Sims means we would be a bit short in the big striker department.

Upon learning that Wright is out for a few weeks, Bamford as a stuntman for Sims looks less crazy.

Look, I couldn’t score it, but it was hung up perfectly and he had bags of time and space. Rare opportunity taken well.

Looking at this and seen that it is that Morgan Whitaker who plays wide right I’d be tempted to bench EMC and plan him as an impact sub. Rudoni wide left because I think he tracks back better to cover JDS.

I think we have be be mindful that Viveash knows the weaknesses of our players better than anyone (and that includes MR, who I think did less training with the players than Ade) I can see him trying to isolate JDS and have a wide player chase long / high passes, particularly after seeing the...

Agree. They are a physical side with the mindset and of going long and trying to nick a goal in the closing stages. Bringing Allen on?

7. Missed it. Typed 8. Thought about it and was going to change to 7 but didn’t at the time.

Rushworth 6 Not sure if he could have done better for their goals and nearly cost us another by faffing and low kicking to them out of position under a press. Good save from Molmboy (sp?) might have been a match saver. JDS 6 Too easily dispossessed for their first goal and was clearly out of...
