Match Thread vs. Bromley FC 26.10.21 [NL]

Wootton shouldn't be considered undroppable, but the idea of playing Mitchell or Knight in preference to him mystifies me.
What have either of them done to deserve a place ahead of Wootton?

Knight, no, not yet.
Mitchell would be worth a look sometime IMO.

Here's one for y'all 4-2-3-1 with Rodders as the 1

....Roberts/Namane...Vincent...Mitchell.....
.............. ........ Rodrigues.....

Imagine Ruben turning with runners all around? Well, I'd like to see it

It's not only that Wootton is undroppable, he also 'unsubbable' (sic). He might be having a mare and have no chance of scoring at all but because we 'need him back for corners' we take off a maestro like Rodrigues.
This is warped thinking IMO, you've got to trust your defenders to defend...like playing 5 defenders for a home game, it ain't the type of positive thinking which gives you a chance of top or top 3, it's only going to keep you down with the pack.

Rodrigues keeps coming off because he’s shagged after 70 minutes. He went down and signalled for a sub last night just before they scored.

Feels like 2 points dropped last night, if we can’t beat pub sides like this we’re destined to remain in this division for another year ☹️

Then we're no further on from the Ardley days in that respect (although I haven't seen much evidence of it myself)...
Maybe it was a knock because a 25 year old in his prime shouldn't find it a problem to complete a match.
I want to see the time when RR is viewed as a player you CAN'T take off. It seems like a defensive-minded reflex to do it at the moment

He did get kicked about the place last night tbf. He definitely did the internationally recognised move your arms around in a circle signal for a sub.

It does feel like 2 points dropped. But, to refer to Bromley as a pub team is quite disrespectful. They were organised and well drilled. Based on what I’ve seen of them and L2, they would certainly finish in the top half of L2.

[ncfcog]

I certainly would, and to be fair he’s not ‘so called prolific’, he is prolific. He’s just the sort of player we should have signed during the summer, and if we had, we’d have won games like last night, albeit playing slightly differently.

We’re not scoring enough goals from our fluent play to make up for our opponent’s goals from let’s be honest relatively sh!t play.

Despite his apparent barren spells Kyle is just 2 goals behind the joint leaders then, when considering only the all-important NL non-penalty goals. On track for a decent haul as expected. Level with the mighty Mullin if I've read this chart correctly.

Correct. I've made it so you can sort the columns largest to smallest and vice versa. That way if you click on 'FA Cup Goals' they will appear in descending order from the top.

Did you see something I didn’t last night? I forgot he was playing until it was announced he scored.
He really wouldn’t suit our style of play. I saw zero movement from him. He didn’t hold up play. As I stated previously, he benefits from being in such a tall and set piece driven side. That’s something we are not.
