Match Thread vs. Maidenhead Utd. 18.09.21 [NL]

Just to add another game without a goal scored in first 40 mins. This is my biggest concern because when we score you can see we are hungry for more. Start quicker and an early goal helps to settle into the game, instead we make errors as time goes by because of self inflicted pressure.

This is garbage, Taylor has the ball on the left wing deep in the maidenhead half, the move ends with the ball back to Slocombe.

We’ve four attackers on the pitch but our tempo is so slow that every time we get the ball Maidenhead have every man behind the ball. We’ve not mixed it up enough, it’s not a bad thing to hit the channels now and again.

In the hope of saying this is left with egg on my face….what does Taylor actually do? Never beats his man, severely one footed, looks clumsy on the ball and isn’t particularly strong for his size.

On the plus side, we’ve looked much more solid without the ball and some of our ply has been nice…we’re just so reluctant to put the ball in the box, which is strange when we’ve two 6 footers in there.

It's hard to go for it with subs when you have so much on the pitch already, so has to be like-for-like or tweaks
Mitchell hasn't scored for us yet, so he'd be the candidate to come off? We could be desperately needing that 1 goal from somebody

[SwalePie]

Oooh, better

[KCNotts]

1-0 much better!

[Carlton_Pie]

We only need to play well in 1 half.

1-0!
