Stuart, densmore, hall, havern, leather, richman, Lacey, moult, lawrie, brook, reeves. Subs grimshaw, whatmore, doughty, rogers and reid
-
I'm a bit bemused by the omission of Watmore.
-
I'm not, it's always a battle at vauxhall, theyll just kick him, richman gets stuck in, so I can see why we'd start with the X1 we have
-
Yeah, that's a fair comment mate.
-
Will we ever keep a clean sheet??
-
seems not
-
Any score yet

They've just had a man sent off.

We have somehow manged to have one of the worst defences in the league despite reforming it
Monday is massive
-
What absolute sh*t. Not coming again all season.
Although that's cos I'm moving! ;)
-
So a poorer start than last season, well and truly f**ked off with this stuttering inconsistency

I would go as far to say we are very consistent we leak goals every game
-
What do we do in training defence wise? Cos whatever it is doesn't work.
I am extremely disappointed by the result today. I told a mate a championship contender would take six points from the weekend games, a play off contender four. At best we're going to take three.
Bitterly dissapointed of York.

It will be interesting to see what people who were at the game have to say about it.
I don't think it's panic stations just yet but I'm definitely worried.

we were diabolical.

Just got back,
Strange one today really. They were quite a tidy side overall and took both their goals well, however, our downfall wasn't really in the defence. We seemed to have no real idea moving forward and didn't take a number of potential chances. There was a lot of build-up play but no end product and the difference between the two teams today was that Vauxhall took their 2 chances and we didn't. After their man was sent off it was all Alty with the exception of them breaking away completely against the run of play to score the 2nd. We hit the bar and should have had a penalty too.
Overall, yes we were poor but there was a bit of bad luck involved. Had we been more clinical in front of goal it would have been a different story and we actually played better today than at Harrogate in my opinion. We also missed Clee greatly.
-
Is it 2 1?
Yes, Richman
John Laidlar has now amended the scorer to Reeves.
-
Disappointing performance. Densmores marking wasn't good enough and that cost us the first. Then we offered very little until combination of watmore on and them having 10 men. Leaving watmore on bench appears very odd. He's the most creative player by a distance judged on the 3 games so far. Really need to get behind players on Monday because there's not an awful lot of confidence and self belief on that pitch at the moment. Some positive signs including a new midfielder who will help with our passing. I'm not a big fan of Sinnott though. Some baffling decisions at times and he doesn't seem to inspire his players, although to be fair on Tuesday his changes did help win the game.
-
still think we'll stutter to xmas before getting rid of sinnott and everyone will wish we'd done it with 6 games to go last season.
hope I'm wrong and we are 6 points of clear at xmas having gone 9 games without conceding a goal......and no I didn't go today coz of work.
I also still think our problem is not mainly the defence....it is the 2 in front of the defence, danlyk and lawton still not been replaced.
sinnott's only decent signings have been lawrie....who is inconsistent but played in different positions..... and havern and hall.....the rest have not been up to standard and that is the problem.
put a carmody/harris or owen/hussin into that team and the clean sheets would come.....was phelan really in the carmo/owen/harris/hussin class? if not can we stop mitigating a terrible start with the fact an average player left suddenly.....
-
poor performance today , they are not a good side and apart from the goals only had maybe two other chances in open play , all their pressure was from set plays which we dealt with , we missed a sitter early on and we were really sloppy in possesion, new midfeilder did ok , we were denied a nailed on pen from a ref who looked like hed never played sport in his life !!! he lost control of the game early , but no excuses we were poor, Monday is a big game now { they all are }

I think today was a mixture of sloppiness, poor luck and a lack of cohesion. We started very well, and threatened in the opening ten. And then the game sort of petered out - we had decent possession and actually played some decent stuff until the final third when everything broke down. I like Brooke, I think he is very comfortable holding the ball up and bringing others into play. I like Reeves for obvious reasons. But today they just didn't gel. Lawrie didn't get going, and Richman is a defensive option on the right (and I agree with mooted reasons above as to why he replaced Watmore).
Their goals both stemmed from moments of loose concentration - the first when the ball inexplicably rolled across the box and three players failed to react leaving Thompson to knock in, and the second from a misunderstanding involving Watmore and somebody else on the edge of their box. Apart from that the defense looked alright - Leather was ok, Hall and Havern especially were comfortable.
It stems from the midfield as people have said. Moult was a mixed bag but needs a couple of games. Rodgers might have offered the necessary physicality today I thought. Lacey was alright but could well have been sent off - he snaps around and seems to get easily distracted/enticed into off the ball scraps (as did Densmore today).
If we could only have taken any of the 5 or 6 decent chances in the second half, today's narrative would have been different. Obviously that's essentially the same with every game, but I don't think people need to unduly panic yet.
-
Rodgers was injured with a dead leg.
-
Cheers, thought he was probably injured.
-
No smile on my face tonight.
Got used to seeing us get nothing on the road last season. I could understand it and accept it (and still sometimes enjoy it) when visiting Oxford, Wrexham etc the season before, but this is getting tiresome now and our fans just don't deserve to see their money wasted each fortnight.
-
A crowd of 300 apparently. We must have had 200
-
I'm not, it's always a battle at vauxhall, theyll just kick him, richman gets stuck in, so I can see why we'd start with the X1 we have
Rubbish
Every game is a battle in this league
May as well release him now if your worried about him getting kicked
-
Some may say we have a bad record there I can accept that against fearns mcclusky etc but they no longer have players like that its like saying Hungary are still hard to beat

Yep, that's a sensible response.
