smithy always seems to second guess himself when he's got the ball. "do i throw it there? no. at the other fullback...no no, that'd be mental there's a man marking him". the one time he didn't have 5 glances around he's made a hash of things.
for large periods we played 4-1-everyone else and lumped it forwards. then they went down to 10 men and we passed it about, got a good cross in and a wonderful header by ritchie. so then we resorted to lumping it again.
i have no idea what JP or prutton were doing, they were absolutely fucking awful.
and the strikers looked very much on the periphery of things, unless it was a high ball for Andrews to win and head to no one. They both looked like they'd been forced to play up front without actually having played there before.
hmph

Only 14 pages on this thread and we have not gone into meltdown!!! Seems we have accepted our fate!! Surprisingly I agree with just about everything written on here post-match, the good points and the bad points. Mr NC is pure wank, :gay: he should have left Benyon on (providing he is fit) and shoved Prutton off. When he eventually brought on that huge unit from Palace he seemed to play him on the left hand side, almost as a winger!! I would have loved to have seen him just behind Grella and Andrew ploughing forward, he looks like he has a great engine. One of the problems we have is the tippy-tapppy way out of defence, it gives the opposition so much time to get behind the ball when we eventually lump it forward. Fitton must now accept our fate, thank Hart for coming in, ask Bodin to look after things until the end of the season and we find a new manager - unless we could persuade Martin O'Neill to come in now!  |

I did think that yesterday was an interest yardstick of how we might cope in League Two: Hartlepool seem to me the kind of side we'll come up against a lot, organised, tall, strong but lacking that little bit of attacking flair and quality throughout.
On the other hand, I doubt most of the starting 11 will be at the club this season so maybe it's not terribly relevant at all.

On reflection the most depressing thing from yesterday was the fact that Hartlepool were total dogshit, played 30 mins with 10 men, hardly had a sniff of a chance, AND WE STILL COULDNT WIN
God we are shit aren't we

Why is Grella not playing?
too attack minded? Benyon is a regular goal scorer. well was. I guess that is why hart played him instead. but grElla looks better and sharper to me. no way hart would play 3 forwards. going for broke doesn't seem to be in his dictionary. |

It was a dreadful performance and plan - almost Andy King-esque in the cluelessness. No idea how to play against ten men. Instead of width and stretching the play we got narrower. All we did was put the ball long but with Douglas being forced to deliver the ball 30 yards as the rest of the midfield went hiding up front.

Apologies if it's been mentioned but how injury prone is Lucas? He's been in and out of the side all season which can't help the defence much. Not that anything will help them much.

Agreed, we want Wilson in!!!! (Well at least Hart out) |

True, one of the many reasons why we haven't been as good this season. One other thing I noticed that was very evident yesterday was just how deep JD is playing. He almost seems to play as an extra centre half at times, not only that but he drops very deep to pick up the ball from the back four. Wonder if he is the wise head we need to play in that position. He might not have the pace, but then neither did Greer and neither has Frampton |
