The Gas vs Swindon Official Matchday Thread

[Arriba]

i think people need to realise that macnamee will have games where he struggles to impose himself.
i raised this at the weekend.
teams will do there homework on us and will deploy different tactics against us.
sometimes it will open up for the likes of macnamee,other times it will stifle his game.

I don't think that I even need ever watch McManatee to figure him out.

He is going to draw tons of attention from the opposition defenders, with them doubling up on him especially away from home.

Even away from home he may not pose a danger, but without a doubt he will be a "Deterrent" . No matter how inneffective he may be away from home they will know that he cannot be ignored.

Now if Macca was to advanced and find himself crowded out by defenders, a simple pass backwards to a supporting fullback who could then spray the ball to an attacking midfielder, or even better play the ball to an attacking right winger in 1 or 2 passes then the opposition defence would be pulled into all sorts of a mess. It's hardly rocket science innit.

At a higher level the other team may be able to assign a full back to deal with the sea cow, but hey ho this is the 3rd division and so that is unlikely for this league.

Me thinks that with an attacking midfielder and an out and out right winger  to compliment McManatee then we could have a very exciting season ahead next season.

If Rovers dont get a striker in I rekon they will get relegated next season. They try and squeeze the game which always makes things scrappy and difficult to watch, but they do work hard and at times I would have taken that over what we've produced this season. Their fans must be getting pretty bored.

We really are on the right track now. Malpas has us playing a good formation, weve got good options up front. Get rid of a few of 3 or 4 players. Get the best out of McGovern, and we could be going in the right direction.
