Didn't watch the match, listened on RR. TBH, one training session in over 2 weeks the day before the match is hardly sufficient warmup for the match really, so I guess we probably did ok. Not sure I would have started a player signed a few days before whom hasn't kicked a ball in a while..
We all know we need a holding up physical striker, Lundstum was a loanee, so not our player, so imagine PP is looking again/still for that type of player.
Need to stick behind the players we have whilst Parky adjusts to this league and re-builds after the loss of a few key players.
Agreed, to be honest we just played like we hadn't trained or played for a while - I wasn't expecting much more if I'm honest, it played out exactly how I thought it would.
Fylde looked understandably that little bit sharper, and I think it's an exaggeration to say it's up there with some of our absolute worst performances.
Parkinson promised our sides would play a certain way and we'd get a certain standard of effort; that's why our 2-1 defeats to Stockport will always, to me, will feel more hurtful than losing 5-0 to Boston. We weren't *that* bad that day, we just got picked off (see Chorley 4-1). On Saturday (perhaps due to Virus) I didn't see a Parkinson side.
The performance on Saturday we barely strung passes together, players didn't look like they wanted to ball. They also don't seem to trust certain players around them. When they did, and we showed confidence on the ball, we scored.
Chorley came back down by being out-Chorley'd. If we stick to our philosophy, and sign the relevant players we will be fine (providing they stick to our style), we will pick off the likes of Eastleigh in a normal game.
