Fleetwood Town Post Match Thoughts

[MillerBill]

To get the best out of Ogbene you need a playmaker who can accurately put a ball in front of him to run on to.When he had to stop and start gave us no advantage at all.Barlaser should have been in at the start.Playing Freddie and Smith together has not worked in the past and today was a repeat peformance.Grigg should have started with Smith.Sadlier is not a winger,so both wide players were non productive.Harding was caught out because playing on the left side is not his strongest position.Grayson exploited this weakness.Wood has been a marvellous servant to the club but his lack of pace showed up constantly and opositiion managers are aware of this.We have some very talented players at this club but we are not getting the best out of them through either leaving them out or playing them in the wrong position.We do not need to play hoofball but through lack of tactical awareness or tecnical abil

A knock on the chairman’s door. ‘Enter’.

The door opens and a small bearded face wearing a beanie peeps round. ‘You wanted to see me?’

‘ “Wanted” is not quite the word, Coco. But come in.”

‘Charlie, why did you call me Coco?’

‘Did I? Sorry, something I read on a forum. And why did you call me Charlie?’

‘Did I? Something I read about a fat comedian in Blackpool.’

‘Fleetwood, Coco. Not Blackpool. Fleetwood. The wheels came off today.’

‘They’re supposed to, Charlie. We drive around honking the horn and the wheels fall off and everybody laughs.’

‘Coco, I keep you on because you’re cheap. Rubbish but cheap. But why the fans put up with you is a mystery.’

‘Well Jimmy Tarbuck got away with being crap for fifty years so I’ve got decades yet. By the way, Charlie, if you’ve got one of those big red noses spare could I have one? It might help with the team talk.’

Watched the game from Santorini today.

Warnes going to have to change the formation because it doesn’t work. Barlaser has got the most quality of any player in our squad.

The Wiles situation is unfair on the player but it will get worse.
We got outfought and out thought today.
We won’t get promoted this season because as much as I hate to say it the Manager is too one dimensional and stubborn.
I still think he will be gone by Christmas.
A couple of mates who are big Warne fans text me after game and said he’s learned nothing.

No man of match for me.

We tried to sign Fleetwood,s Callum Morton who,s on loan from wba.
According to Paul Davis he turned us down because he thought he would get more game time than with us.

Doesn't mean to say he would be playing well for us though as it depends what formation and service he gets

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Played 6, won 3, lost 3, goals for 7, goals against 7

Mid table

Maybe they should fix the turnstiles so that they don’t let folks out rather than stopping them getting in

We were effectively playing with two defenders today.
No real Wing back support and Wesley had a poor game. Not surprising after his extensive travelling across time zones to Central America. He looked well out of sorts and highly unusual for him.

That should have been taken account of today with a more robust traditional defensive formation.
If PW wants to play 352 then do it sometimes, not all the time and make it difficult for the opposition.
Grayson knew we set up like this every week and it made for an easy teamtalk
It backfired in spectacular fashion today

Wiles up to Rathbone being taken off looked our worst midfielder on the day. That's why crowd got at Warney abit. After that Wiles upped his game was only player making things happen.

I agree, he was poor but the last 20 mins he was the player who was the most creative and broke through a couple of times. Unfortunately we were 4-2 down by then.

We didn't seem to have a plan today. Like against Sheff Wed. We can't just keep trying to knock these long balls up to Smith. If Warne wants to carry on playing like this then I'll stay at home.

Poor, boring football.

[MillersTime]

We didn't seem to have a plan today.

Sums it up pretty perfectly.

[MillersTime]

I feel sorry for the squad in all honesty. They deserve more than to employ those tactics. PW and his backroom team have identified and assembled a much more talented squad than is currently on display. Allowed to be on display I should say. I sincerely hope, like I have for a long time (most worrying part), that the coaching allows us to be bold and flourish. We can be so much better. We have some really good players at this level but let them play. It isn't even taking away from the big lad up top, he plays better when he is linking up instead of being used as a battering ram. We don't need to play hoof, we are better than that. I hope PW can demonstrate a greater commitment to this before we lose those players who would benefit from playing in a footballing focused side.

I think their game game plan was perfectly executed a job done well, however if they had really pressed they could have given us a good hiding.

There was a gulf in quality Fleetwood were on a different planet to us...we were out classed, 7 players didn’t turn up today
