Match ratings and general blurb v Aldershot

[matt_magpie]

He does it every game, I'm beginning to think that it is only me see that sees it. Yesterday was no exception, although to his credit, he did score and also crossed the ball which ultimately JOB scored from.

I think he’s told not to do it Durham if it’s not on. He does lack strength and is different to TAR. What he does do very well is take the ball down in tight spaces, always stretches defences, rarely gives it away, times his runs excellently for the ball around the corner and as the games go on and defenders do tire he does take the players on. If you want an old fashioned winger then he’s not your man but he does bring a lot to the table.

I think people are a bit too quick to criticise Bostock,he is a quality player who so I’m told was very good at Donny but he hasn’t played matches for 6 months so will take a month or two before he’s up to speed.
Also Nemane and Slocombe(and Mitchell if he gets near the pitch) take a lot of unfair criticism.
Nemane is definitely a confidence player who is playing well especially when we play weaker teams and him and TAR will continue to chop and change for the rest of the season(both important squad members) with TAR(when fit) playing when we play the likes of Chesterfield and Wrexham(as the better and taller defender)
It has been difficult for Slocombe to adapt to playing as a footballing goalkeeper but has improved over the 18 months he’s been doing it(gained us two points v Wrexham) and done okay generally decent shot stopper and taker of crosses so we should get behind him more
No doubt we will need all the squad for the rest of the season(the pressing game saps a lot of energy remember Leeds) and LW is managing it brilliantly.
So let’s stay behind the boys and if anything let’s make as much positive noise as possible v Boreham on Tuesday( everyone saying how Wrexham fans are the 12th man can we be ? as I have been to most home games and IMO been far too quiet)

100% agree. The stick Slocombe takes is ridiculous. People should watch the premiership games which has some of the best keepers in the world and see hairy moments and mistakes every single week.
It’s a totally different position now, when you compare it to a couple of decades ago or so when keepers picked up back passes, booted every goal kick, every ball out of their hands to now where a lot are expected to play like an outfield player and outfield players miss control and don’t always pass to their fellow player, the issue keepers have it can cost goals, I thought he was very good yesterday.

Nemane and Slocombe I can agree with, but not Mitchell.

When he has got near the pitch, he's shown very little.
