Grown beyond his abilities? Seriously?
Hulme and Osborne have done well running the wings together... so maybe Sinclair up front, we know he's a good finisher?
I doubt Bennett is anywhere near fit enough to feature from the start.
Just an additional thought... have we possibly thought about pairing Harry Perritt up with Isaac Marriot in midfield and using Josh Lundstram as a proper outlet at full back?
This last idea I actually quite like, as I'm unsure giving Perritt another go at full back currently is a good idea - and MWH clearly isn't available.
Too much tinkering these past few games, and we played ourselves into such poor form with such a negative approach in the second half at Yeovil - aided and abetted by the management team not being willing to ring the changes soon enough to make a difference..
I agree about the keeper - like a good manager, it instils confidence in all of the players in front of you - and it does appear the defence are struggling in that sense. As suggested previously, Kidderminster's former first choice goalkeeper (and in the same NLN XI as Baines last season) is warming the bench at TNS - I'd be putting an approach in for him now to be honest.
I can understand benching Linney as he's not available on Saturday - perhaps he was testing out the XI he was thinking of going with - a frightening thought.
Where was Maxi Oyedele? Maybe he's not going to be available for York either? Who knows.
I'm not willing to write Harry Perritt off after 2 games - Accy were sad to lose him in League One, and we've seen how long it's taken Ryan Colclough to find his feet at Chesterfield (3 goals in 3 games now).
Positives?
- at least you'd think Lewis Baines and Isaac Marriott are both going to start on Saturday;
- players might have had one eye on Saturday and avoiding injury, particularly in the second half;
- this level of football has been so bizarre this season, we might just pull something out of nowhere on Saturday;
- given our own season has been even more bizarre, I wouldn't bet against Joe Hugill rocking up as a ringer, bagging a hat trick and never being seen again...
Gyollai(sp) is long term injured I think.
I wouldn't bet against Joe Hugill rocking up as a ringer, bagging a hat trick and never being seen again...
That would be fantastic (and extremely unlikely!)
Although I basically agree, I'd still like to win the senior cup. We shouldn't need to play the full first eleven vs Runcorn should we?
A mixture of players who need minutes and Reserves should be enough but they will most definitely need to up their levels as we looked poor against Vauxhall Motors. Appreciate it's hard to get as motivated as a player but Runcorn should be bang up for it and I'd imagine their fans will probably give it a go as well.
Decent CB? Baines will be playing EFL football soon, and Jones got a move from North to League 2. He had Mullarky as well.
He needs to command that area. Not be glued to his line
Toby is in the past tense and therefore can have no bearing on our recent performances (0 points from a possible 12).
I agree with you that a keeper needs to be able to command his area but that is not his exclusivity and the outfielders recent defence of set pieces and crosses has been woefully poor.
I'm sorry but I don't see the same level of performance from James Jones that he displayed in the N.L.North where he was arguably the best CB in the League.
Lewis Baines... undoubtedly heading in an upwards trajectory as you say and I completely agree with you on this one.
Please give Ollie half a Dinanga of a chance.
Whisper it quietly...
...could we have found a centre forward?
Why only 4 on the bench ? and one of them a keeper
