Starting 11 v Woking

[Notts78]

I don’t agree Notts78. Slow build up is very relevant. For a start, all the opposition defenders are in position to defend and that usually means 2 defenders in place to handle Roberts. Upping the intensity means everything happens quicker. It’s much easier to run at a defender than to beat them from a standing start.

I think we can agree to disagree, and without falling out ��.
The other side of the coin to your point is that, if 2 players are marking Cal, which Notts player is free? The other point is that if Cal is marked by 2 and he beats them with a step over, that is 2 players out of the game and Notts have an ‘overload’.
Personally I don’t see intensity as the issue but rather the players having confidence to play through the lines.
I mentioned in my previous post that Palmer vacated the central midfield area, and what it did was create a massive hole where Notts CB’s could play a ball to Woots, along the floor. Woots was pointing to where he wanted it - his right foot. The ball simply didn’t go to him.
Watch it today, and if things are the same as the last game you will see exactly what I am referring too. You will need to be in the Kop to appreciate my point.
