⚽ Match Thread vs. Barrow FC 22.10.24 [EFL L2]

I’ll wait for the bed wetters to set upon me but my 1st half observation so far

Didzy - awful legs can’t take so much football as he’s being asked to play
Palmer - Awful needs dropping sorry if this offends anyone but be honest with yourself
Crowley - is he playing again? Why does the BT engineer insist on playing him so ineffectively deep? Another needs dropping to kick him up the arse no one bigger than the club
Jatta - running around like a headless chicken
McDonald - not seen anything to impress me yet paid a fee for him god help us he looks lost
Hinchy - Dog ****e nowhere near good enough get rid in January
Gordon - playing **** today but been isolated out wide
Tsarroulla - best notts player on pitch first half
Brown - for once is making effort after coming on
Macari - not quick enough to keep up with there winger Kouyate they seem to be playing on this fact

Bedeau should never of been dropped and upto now may aswell take the front two off and play with no strikers as they’ve been non existent but saying that also has no service.
Can’t wait till Jodi is back badly badly missing his flair and creativity.
These are playing high and we always struggle against a team doing that so where’s Maynard’s Plan B and go long or something instead of playing out from the back 100% of the time.
Fingers crossed for a better second half.

Can't argue with any of that. We are utterly embarrassing. Our midfield is so weak and lightweight not putting a tackle in. Will someone please bring the real Palmer back ! McDonald awful, hinchy terrible, Didzy so many loose balls, Jatta pointless, only bass any good

Gillingham heading for a 5th straight defeat, 0-2 down at home to Newport who have lost their last 3. What the hell has happened to them since they played us?

Didn't they have a really xG against but had hardly conceded any goals? Looks like their luck has run out

Morais apparently scored a wonder goal for Daggers tonight

[drillerpie]

Got to feel for Hinchy - quite a few games out, gets back in the team, bad backwards pass in first few seconds should've seen them get a pen, then gets subbed after 30 mins. And we improve massively. Think we improved massively in last game he started around the time he went off too.

Eeek.

[CamPie]

Very pleased we’re only 1-0 down at half time. A very hard listen but at 1-0 we’re still very much in it and hope Maynard makes the changes necessary to get us going second half. Good to hear Tsaroulla and Brown having positive impacts and possibly gives us something to build on.

Unfortunately looking at thay bench we have very little there to make any difference bar maybe young Cisse and fingers crossed Martin..the rest in 3 defenders and a keeper! Where is Sanderson or Reynolds... they rarely make the bench which is so weird 😐

[upthemaggies]

They need some of this in their ear.

[TSANHO]

Yeah, but you’ve got to take your chance when you get it and when he’s got his chance he’s just not shown up…from the very first minute. We all want him to succeed, and he’s young, but the fact that even a loan player is ahead of him speaks volumes.

Terrible half of football. Second best everywhere, massive spaces between the lines, not winning second balls, no good pressure on the ball, no cohesion, getting caught out of position, shaky playing from the back, not winning any long balls….2/10 performance so far.

[MapperleyMagpie]

Well here goes! We can't be any worse at least

[WarsopPie]

Minor injuries keep Robertson, Abbott and Austin out - but there's a first league start for Rod McDonald.

Youngster Madou Cisse makes the bench along with Lucas Ness.

Maynard’s Plan B second half will be in approx the 65th Min he’ll bring Cundy on up front to get us the win 😆
