The thing that drives me mad with Tshimanga is when he stands up strong & battles for the ball, like he did vs Grimsby & Col U he looks so dangerous.
Why the hell his default style of play is to fall over whenever the ball comes near him I don't know.
He's not won a single freekick & has cost us all forward momentum time & again doing it. Which, indeed has meant it's felt like we're down to 10 whenever he's on the pitch.
Yes Glatzel is badly out of form but even yesterday his battling in the first half alongside Drinan kept them pinned back the majority of the time, despite the 2 goals. The subs at half time just opened up space for Notts & they had an easy time of the 2nd half.
Not sure Tshimanga going off instead of Glatzel would have made a difference as the change to 4-4-2 was the big mistake but at least Drinan & Glatzel had been chasing everything down.
Apart from the free kick vs Colchester, for the first goal (although, I get your point…). When he decides to try and hold up play, he’s not bad at it at all, he just doesn’t do it enough.
