There was no hint, only a possible example. I'm not sure what you're getting so hot and bothered about. The lack of information from the club is a problem.Quote:

The day before he stepped aside, Alex gave a full update on all the injuries including Long. To then add your "issues" to the pot just creates unfounded rumours.Quote:

This was largely due to an excellent performance by BSD. His reading of the game, position, and commitment was 1st class. Based on that performance he should be first choice CB.
In the second half we were causing Orient problems and as the game progressed their basic crudity increased to the extent that it was surprising they only got 1 red card. The ref. was so weak he allowed so many blatant fouls to go unpunished. Think it only changed when he realised he had lost control In the end we got a super goal and probably deserved to edge the game.
There was a small improvement in our performance and hopefully during the week LB can make further improvements. Weaknesses, yes mainly our midfield. They have to be physically stronger and far more commited. At least we are in the draw on Monday
Pretty much how I saw the game too - after surviving the first 20 minutes we came more and more into it, but need more in midfield - for creativity maybe the return of Colkett (or arrival) is what we need?Quote:

If/when Long returns, given a couple of games for the others to get used to his excellent runs into space, we'll have an alternative/addition to CBRs goalscoring up front (what formation will be adopted to accommodate them both?). Brook may have settled again then and play on the right wing and cutting in from the left. Sambou and Agyei.....? Some positive selection problems to deal with then?
Just the spare RB to find/get then maybe worries will lessen.
I still want Buxton away!! Any other suggestions? (Wrexham at home????)
Barnsley away?????? Not many worse possibilities. Wasn't worth the wait.
Overall, the draw isn't kind to the non-league teams.
Is there an 'interesting' draw in the round?
