any news on Liam after picking up his injury last night ??
Serious?? hope not .......... important player for us !!
-
Huge loss for the team. I would lose a lot of confidence if we were to lose him.
What would the midfield me without him and Toulson?
I would go for Logan Robbie Sedge Peyton
I would keep Robbie in the centre as he is the engine. Also Peyton is naturally both footed so I would play him down the right, swapping throughout with Logan!! If Heathcote is still determined not to start Logan then I would play Senior on the wing.
-
The FA should pass a law that Robbie Lawton can only play in the centre where he has been superb in the past few games.
-
I think Lawton and sedge in the middle would be a good combo.
Defo think Logan and Toulson if theyre fit, if not Logan and Little on the wings, Senior and O Neill up front.
Im not by any means an O neill fan, but im not a hater either. But has anyone else noticed that we always seem to score when he's on the pitch?
Vics/Kiddy/Woking/Vauxhall - all games where crucial goals came from him or whilst he was playing. There must be something in it, even if its just the option of something heighty (if thats a word)

Little on the wing??? He is our only out and out goalscorer and therefore has to start as striker!

I think we lack creativity in midfield. Its just my opinion and I knew that it would cause discussion.
Little is by far our most potent striker, i agree. However, we lack creativity and so Little drops deep or stays up and gets less service. If we have a more creative midfield we will set up more attacks. As a result of this the pressure is decreased on the defence. Opposition will also sit a bit deeper, and hopefully score less.
Ive said this a few times, but I noticed how creative we were in the 2nd half against woking and we looked a lot more comfortable at the back once woking were aware we could put good flowing moves together.

A big blow to lose King. It's a good thing it's Droylsden and Farsley next!

Why is it a "good thing"?
Surely we need him for those two key games more than ever?

I really believe we should have a go at teams more. I don’t understand why we are so defensive because we just end up losing. I’m not talking so much a change of personnel or formation but rather mentality
Last league game, when we were 2-0 down, the players decided to have a go and we scored 2 quickly. The first goal came from our centre mid(king) breaking forward and putting a cross in from the byline, the second came from our left back pushing into the opposition penalty area and forcing a corner.
For the first 20 mins of that game we had all the ball in their half but created nothing as everyone stuck to their positions which is fine when your defending but not when your attacking.
I’m not having a go at the players here, I believe they give 100% every week. However, I believe they should take the shackles of sometime and belief in themselves more. Maybe it’s a confidence thing and hopefully we will see more adventurous play after the recent improvements.

How do you know we've lost him?? What's the status on his injury???

i asked this question last night to graham rowley in the bar, apparently it was a suspected brused shin but they were going to see today if it swelled up (if it does he'll have to go for an x-ray).

On a similar note did someone not post that Cahill may be back fit for Saturday?
If he was we could play Warren and Senior on the wings, with Robbie and Sedge on the middle. Bring on Logan in the second half when hopefully the extra time last night will get to Droylsden
-
Tom Cahill watched the first 10 mins of the second half last night from the Popside........I asked him if was 'ok' for Saturday and he said that he hopes to be fit enough to be considered for selection.
-
He is a brave man going on there....no player has ever before entered the Pop Side!

It is of great credit to the loanees and the club the way that the loanees have integrated and become part of the club.

Uhhh ermm
It was the second half with the mighty Robins kicking toward the Golf Rd...........I think there were maybe twenty of us stood there all spread out at the time !

Really? Was he just stood there watching it on his own? I'm suprised by this but it says alot of the man. Surely most injured players wouldn't have even attended the game last night!! Also why was he standing on the pop side and not near the subs etc??

I would point out that injured players very often attend games, even if the game is not a BSP game.
Sometimes they also sit or stand on their own. There is also no reason why a non playing team member needs to stay by the dugout during play.
Somebody asked on this forum if there was news on Cahill's availability for Saturday. I was attempting to provide a response based on a player's answer to the same question asked by myself Tuesday night.
I can only guess why somebody was doing something that for some surprising reason, you find surprising

Alright Mick I was only asking as I was suprised that a loan player would take it upon himself to attend a CSC game when he's injured and furthermore to be watching it on his own from the pop side!
-
Thanks Longman.......point taken..........but I did say in my 1st post that he only watched for 10 mins from this area.
I assume he watched the rest of the game from the dugout / stand etc. Any the good news, is that he thought he would be fit to play, if selected
-
This is indeed excellent news. I'd love to see him up front with Col, with Chris on the right wing. I know that such an attacking formation is unlikely, but this is going to be a high-scoring game. Droylsden can only attack and we will simply have to outscore them. Their defence is there for the taking, so playing cautiously in this one could be a disaster. Still hoping and praying that Kingy will be fit, because that could make all the difference.

Tom Cahill watched the majority of the game sat next to Ryan Toulson in the front row of the main stand.

Perhaps the fact that he is injured and that Sean RIley will be at the ground on a match day may be a factor?? ;)
