I endorse what 'That Man' says in #31 and will add that overall I think that the best team lost and if we had put our scoring boots on we could have trounced them. Their defence managed to stay ½ second ahead of us getting to the ball and they did this effectively by playing 10 men behind the ball for much of the game and thowing themselves in front of any strikes that we attempted to take.
it will be a different game at Boundary Park in a couple of weeks time in the league. They are aiming to get into the playoffs and will attempt to play a more open attacking game. We may take them apart if we are on form and revenge will be ours.
Dinanga was never used properly or given a chance by Management unfortunately.
Odd that we are the only place where he's not been prolific??
MarpleAlty hits the nail firmly on the head in his above response.
Dinanga made 33 (+14 as sub) appearances during his tenure at Alty, so I'm not quite sure how you can say that the management team didn't give him plenty of opportunities. If anything, they were extremely loyal to him when things just weren't working out.
He certainly wasn't even remotely prolific during his respective spells with Hartlepool, Chesterfield and Stevenage.
He didn't suit our system. He manifestly fits well with the one played at Gateshead.
Now, I wonder whether we negotiated a sell-on clause when we sold him to Gateshead...?!
They definitely had a shot on target. Cleared off the line first half.
J Jones looked unlikely to play on Saturday when he hopped off. Looked like ankle injury. I thought he did OK tonight he covered a heck of a lot of ground and didn’t do anything silly or great but was efficient enough at the basics.
CCC was infuriating tonight so many loose passes in good positions. Redeemed himself with the goal though which is why he stays on even when having a poor game. Gerald put an OK shift in but wasn’t given much service and is too short to hold up or flick on the long balls so needs a bit more quality to work with. Angus harried their back line really well when he came on which is what was needed at that point.
Yeah, not bad that. I'll have whatever Louis Donowa is on - the poor lad must be absolutely knackered after the mileage he put in today!
Justin. He was superb.
