Phil Babb had some pace as a defender

All of our keepers have elements of their game which they excel at and elements which require improvement. Rushworth is now distributing better than he did when he first came, looking for the quick release counter whereas before he’d not. It doesn’t always work but it keeps opponents on their...

Rudoni looks like he’s believing his own hype and overplaying things. Grimes looks off it a little bit.

Gunnersson strikes me as the kind of bloke who could drink you under the table. I was in Reykjavik the other week and there were proper old style drinking nightclubs still going at 4am. Which is bananas given the price of absolutely everything out there.

Teams have learned to press us hard and their goal came as an indirect result. Their striker pressed Rushworth hard and as a result he hurried a kick into touch. Attacking throw in - cross - goal. Now then: BTA pressed and harried opponent back lines. Neither Wright nor Simms really do; they...

Rushworth 6 Couple of great saves and much improved bowling distribution. However, messed around and kicked out for the throw that led to the cross that led to their goal. Silly. KKH 5 Just not impressed by him. TF we cashed in on Sheaf not MVE. Thomas 7 Good long throw but in reality he...

No. Not at all. Never once said bring Wilson back in this thread; simply that he wasn’t as good technically yet was more vocal. I believe that him being vocal contributed vicariously to clean sheets. WRT Oggy, I was replying to your suggestion that no one mentioned his lack of communication...

I think it’s only a matter of time before the whole thing is overhauled. Watching the Ashes and the review system (which is now quicker and “fair delivery” is dealt with straight away before analysing crucial decisions) one can’t help but think that a similar system is introduced in football. I...

Errr…. Oggy was talking about it during the match. “wowzers” Are you 12? Is Oggy not as smart as you with regards goalkeeping?

Who put 10p in you?

His kicking was poor today. One corner that led to another set play that resulted in the first goal could have been avoided had Rushworth shouted “leave” to Simms. It’s a game of razor fine margins. Rushworth is young for a keeper and isn't the finished article. Rushworth has improved in...

And tbf Eccles did put it on a plate for Thomas to (not) score with a free kick from the left. Just annoyed at Eccles getting a silly booking and he’d deserve a higher mark otherwise.

Fair point. Eccles might have edged it but loses a point for being a fool and getting a silly card.

Rudoni unlucky that their keeper saved a certain goal.

He loses a point for a silly booking. It was a bit immature and he had to play in a restricted fashion thereafter

Pretty clear: Rushworth needs to shout more and call for the ball. He’s a better keeper than Wilson in terms of positioning and saving and so on. One of the reasons Wilson got a golden glove is because he was good vocally not because he’s a brilliant technical keeper. Rushworth needs to let...

I’ve no idea what you are trying to say.

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...
