Match Thread vs. Bromley 15.05.21 [NL]

Ardleyesque first half. Lets see what IB has in his locker.

Problem with this squad historically, a few wins and they try to start playing like Barcelona

Just as lightweight up front.

I think it's a case of Bromley being good at what they do. Big lads and direct offensively and a very good defence as well. We need to find a way to break them down, our build up is far too slow at the moment.

I know Ruben played well in the last match but does anyone agree with me that we get more creativity from him when he plays in the no 10 role?

This.

Ardleyesque?? We played with energy and tempo, looking like we want to win!

We played like that loads of times under Ardley, start off sharp, loads of possession, creating not much. Too easy to defend against.

Is the Mo Ross exit bounce over?

Hoping for a win before kick-off. With both Halifax and Wrexham 2-0 down at half-time, a draw wouldn't be a disaster.

Yes it’s in our hands but we will have to win away at Wrexham AND Bromley. We need at least a draw today.

[SwalePie]

We need to win today, not draw, for the sake of momentum and morale.

Thought we played really well. I think all the confident play came to nothing because of the balance of the team, if we had an extra attacking option instead of all three of Reeves/Doyle/O'Brien so Rodrigues in one of those roles and a partner for Wootton. So in the end, I think it was just lack of numbers that helped Bromley to soak it all up...

At the back, Brindley just seems so nervous (more confident in their half), he's just not ready for that role it seems and he should have done something to at least make the header back difficult. The rest of his defensive play has been really shaky as well I thought.

I think chasing the game, IB has to look to the bench because 5-3-1-1 is easy for them. Enzio for JO'B maybe with Rodrigues dropping back to get on the ball more?
