McGovern in centre midfield

[sonic youth]

minge + roberts on the wing is nowhere near as effective as the minge + jp combination. i thought he struggled to get in the game in central midfield to be honest.

roberts flattered to deceive, as did macnamee. i thought zaaboub did well when he came on, putting some crosses in and dragging their defence out of position.

[Arriba]

minge was poor.but both him and vincent had a  ack options when in possesion of the ball.roberts and the new lads flaws were highlighted big time in that department.

[DV]

Roberts was so cack, that after about 60 minutes I would have been tempted to haul him off and put Pook on and move JPM out wide.

 :shock:

[Colin Todd]

JPM is shite in centre mid.

He's started to form a good partnership with the minge but in fairness it would have been fuvking harsh to have left robets out after a good goal on tues

 :shock:

said the same myself during the game dv.i would have brought both wide men off at the same time(a little after taking the lead)
put pooky in the middle,zaboob out left, and jp wide right.

[DV]

I thought McNamee was doing ok out wide, but  I really dont know why we signed him.

There is a very good chance that we will NEVER get a full 90 minutes out of him. He didnt seem to actually get past his man much.

Roberts, was just rubbish. I only remember one decent cross all game and stop letting him take the bloody corners!

I said earlier, why have two wide men if you dont feed them, they overran us in the middle of midfield today, two against three and JPM playing so badly one against three on most occasions, thank goodness for Peacock.

You sound like the guy I was sitting next to today and talking about this very subject DV. You need pace out wide, Roberts and McNamee have the tricks to beat a man, but they recover and they have to beat them again.

you do not need pace out wide, you people who can cross the ball.

Roberts and McNamee have the tricks to beat a man, but if you dont deliver whats the point? Ricky Shakes had the pace to beat full backs but that was it.

The wingers didnt get alot today, but they did very little with it when they did get it. All Roberts does is run sideways.

[Arriba]

macnamee need to get the basics right first-ie play the way your facing.if he's decent the rest will follow.
he turned into trouble many times today when in possesion. and first half his positioning was very poor off the ball.it did improve after half time.
roberts was dire and stayed on because he scored in the week.
he plays in fits and starts, and not enough delivered overall.bye bye at the seasons end will be best for all concerned in his regard.bench at best from now in

Shakes not the greatest example of a winger ...
Nothing is more frightening to a defender than PACE, if you've played the game to a good level you would understand.

I was about to go to sleep then DV, you disturbed my sleep.

How the fuck can a wide man deliver a cross without beating the fullback in the first place, which of course would invovle some PACE and dribbling skills?

chris waddle......

macnamee is full of tricks but ends up doing pirouettes on the spot because he doesn't have the space to get the cross in. roberts can cross but prefers to cut inside, often ending up on the other side of the pitch in the process.

despite my misgivings of mcgovern, he can beat his man and cross the ball. so can zaaboub.

Ricky Shakes is not a professional footballer but has pace.
David Beckham never had pace but did alright for himself.

the difference, Beckham can cross the ball.

I know pace out wide does scare defenders, but its pretty pointless if you scare the defenders get past them, then stop, cut back, let the defender recover, do a step over, cut inside, step over, keep going, run into the centre backs and pass it.

the end product has to be there, thats the point of wingers.

Im sure Roberts running towards a full back scares them a hell of a lot more than them watching JPM having the ball in a bit of space 5 yards back but we all know which one will provide the better delivery.
