Taking into account the tricky pitch, Crowley can have a rare 10 for me. I thought he was incredible, and by far the best player on the pitch up until our second when the confidence seemed to visibly...
This has been our biggest problem recruitment wise for me - I think Baldwin and Cameron both have the raw ingredients to be good in the back three we've wanted to play, but both have the same...
That’s merely where we were heading, though. Maynard hasn’t done anything to arrest the slide and the jury is obviously well out on him, but this had been coming. Last night was awful but I still...
We're still using Austin in completely the wrong role - for a game like Wrexham away he should be one of the first picks, he's brilliant at pressing, closing down, helping you get a foothold in the...
Assuming their other businesses and sources of funding stay secure, I suspect this is a very long term thing. Just get the impression they aren't your average owners who are either looking to make...
That’s because IMO we’re not behind them at all in terms of quality of player, but we are well behind them in the mentality and intensity needed to grind out wins in close games over the course of a...
But Nemane is much, much quicker than any of those and his main threat is getting in behind and cutting the ball back - while the others, particularly Jones and Crowley, have the quality to deliver a...
Nemane's final ball is much more standard for a League Two player, though. You've got to remember we only have Jones because we took a chance on him after he missed three years through injury - he...
Stags at home aside, performances have been fine. We haven’t even conceded loads in them generally, our much vaunted will-surely-be-sold-to-the-Championship-soon attacking players just appear to be...
On the game, our latest ‘but we played quite well!’ bad luck story against a good team.
Defence has got absolute pellets this season and probably deservedly so, but also the case that Jones,...
Because he isn’t a right back so unsurprisingly got caught massively out of position - we were obviously playing four at the back first half and switched it after 55 mins or so.
Because UTM is, for some reason, obsessed with the history of clubs, managers and players rather than the future. Still none the wiser as to whether SM will be a success, but it was an entirely...
Our best performance since.. Salford away in early September? Thought we were great, good shape and solid behind the ball with a proper back four who all did their jobs, and then a constant threat...
Any worry Jatta won't get a visa should be cleared by a signing Tranmere have just made - young midfielder directly from a Senegalese club who hasn't played a game in Europe.
I wouldn’t say we played badly particularly and first half we were just plain unlucky not to be at least level, but…
We all knew their pitch was bad and that it was going to be a game about fine...
Macari as well who I think is seen more as one for the future but shown real promise.
Having kept everyone, it's a good window. Good mix of profiles - couple who seem intended to go in and improve...
I agree, and I think that could be a bit of a masterstroke. We are clearly fantastic going forward, and attack in a really incisive, structured way that means we score a lot of quite similar goals...
Was it Maldini who said 'if I have to make a tackle, I've already made a mistake'?
Think defending as a team is far more about that kind of thinking now - positioning and players keeping their...
Francis was a decent player for us, not outstanding but mostly contributed positively for two seasons. Excelling now at Gateshead and looked set to move to MK Dons for £200k until he got a freak head...
Feels a bit of a wait and see what happens tomorrow signing. Get another in (Jatta!!) and it seems fine to take a risk on, Jones was similar last Jan and worked out spectacularly.
It’s a lot for what would be a back up striker this season, but guess there’s a logic in getting ahead of the game and giving someone time to settle in if we’re resigned to having to sell Macca in...
Robertson? Too early to tell whether he's any good, but apart from being left footed he looks far closer in style to MP than JB.
I think it's an area where the rules need a bit of tweaking. I agree that a yellow was the right decision how they currently are, but the combination of it stopping a very dangerous attack, being...
Our last five games are 1-1, 5-5, 2-4, 3-0 and 5-0. End product from the style of football has definitely not been a problem haha.
I think some players (Bostock being an obvious example) look a...
You said we ‘go side to side with very little result’, which to me just makes no sense when we score more than enough goals. Clearly what we do when we have the ball is extremely successful.
