At least Mozza having ago.
Changes as expected.
Not too sure about Imray tbh, but with Philips out and Taylor guilty of too many errors, Morrison hasn't many options other tha to play Campbell in his more natural central defender position. Just hope Bielik is OK as last thing we need is 3 central defenders out.
Certainly a selection set up to play more attacking football but just hope those players can prove their worth to both the fans and Mozza today. The Blades are a decent side who have plenty of incentive to win today so its going to be a tough game so one where its important to show grit and character
Ive accepted we are now doomed really can't be bothered currently losing 1-0 whilst the other sides around us are fighting and scrapping for points. Blackpool here we come!!
I wish we could win a game I really do.
Well, at least that was a better performance and a deserved point against a decent side who have been on form recently. The Blades had the better of possession but we all know that doesn't necessarily mean anything and, from listening to the game, there didn't seem much between the two.
Defensively we were much better today and while Molumby battled away in midfield, both Imray and Diakite helped us to show more attacking intent. The obvious problem remains our lack of quality up top. Dike, Heggabo and Price all sounded like they put more effort in today but for far too often the final ball simply wasn't good enough and they also lost possession too easily. It also sounded like they often weren't mobile enough to be in the right places to receive the ball when we did get opportunities to play it forward.
Ollie Bostock sounded like he started well and was prepared to run at their defence but he was all but anonymous second half so not surprised Wallace replaced him. I'm sure a lot of this was down to inexperience at this level as much as poor service, but I'm sure he will continue to get his chances.
As for Campbell, I felt sorry for him for the OG which came against the run of play at the time but he's a player I like for his attitude and he both redeemed himself with the equaliser as well as showing our "strikers" how it should be done.
Had we played like this against Oxford, we might not have conceded those two early goals and fought enough to take the 3 points. Still nowhere near enough threat going forward from open play and we still need to make far better use of the number of corners we win, but something at least to build on for the coming home games. Neither Mozza or the fans I suspect will be overly disappointed and at least we are back out of the bottom 3-if only by a point!I
(Access to this site has been pretty shocking again today)
Thankfully Ipswich scored so we aren't in the bottom 3.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend before we put our tin hats back on come Wednesday
Dike was abysmal in a good team display. The ball bounced off him and he was chasing shadows. Bostock not much better but not easy coming up to the mens game. I dont think Bostock is the answer yet.
We need a mobile player just off Heggebo. Maybe one of the younger lads like Jimoh or Mustapha, or Wallace to do the running.
