I rate it shocking.
I will be always grateful for our promotion last season but this game proved why I don’t rate his tactics and man management of getting players up for games.
I have not attended many games this season but I have watched all available highlights but I am going to REPEAT some concerns I posted on here after the first two games.
We need Leather and Havern as our centre backs as Marshall is poor, positionally awful, commits himself then leaves other’s short which then makes that player seem to be at fault. I am not going to lie but I was happy for his red card.
Griffin has improved but still too slow and needs ‘get on his bike’ more down the wing to offer an option to the wide man. Densmore did OK on his return, Dens is really good at making forward support runs and gets in a high number of crosses. Griffin needs to do this, make the other team worry. We always set up so negative and as I said before it appears as if we expect teams to come at us, let us go at them, especially at home. Positive mental attitude!
Talking about wide men, as I put in my post all those games back and still hasn’t been address, is that our only creative player in Clee is picking the ball up and running directly into centre mid. This is a clear Sinnott instruction; unless he needs a decent set of specs then he must see how often our wide men run into trouble in the centre and loose the ball, resulting in the other team counter attacking against us. We keep running out of pitch, lets get our wide men hugging the byline and opening the middle of the park up, there was no support or wide play. Taking people on out wide creates crosses, pull backs, more chance of winning pens, opens the middle up more for Reeves and other forward players.
Clee does not look fit and slightly disinterested but he is a lot more EFFECTIVE going around men, to the byline and cutting it back. We are over crowding the centre of the park and we haven’t got good enough players in that area play ourselves out of trouble.
Lawrie is so ineffective out wide, he is lazy, all season he has been lazy, he lets players jog past him leaving the right back with two to mark. Drop the lad or play him up front. We get rinsed down the channels. It wasn’t just Lawrie today who showed a lack of passion or effort, the whole team apart from Reeves and Gillespie.
The term WE WON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT, well I thinking we should play the ladies team as I have never seen such a lack of passion and heart. I blame Sinnott for this, yes I repeating myself again but hopefully he reads the forum and things might start to sink in. These players need to get fire in the belly because Welling looked awful but outplayed us with ease, it was embarrassing. Whether you are a Heathcote lover or hater at least he got us fighting. I have put it many times but under him we came out like warriors, we didn’t have the technical players that Lee has at his disposal but by hell we gave it a go. That today and the goals I saw conceded at Barnet are a complete and utter disgrace.
Just to repeat myself for the 100 hundred time,if we play Perry and we turn into a long ball team and we are crap at it. Perry’s ball retention or flick on ratio is very very very very very very very poor. I stand there and can’t believe the things I see, Marshall and Perry wouldn’t even make my Sunday league team.
We need to get fitter.
We need to close down higher up the pitch, especially our wide men.
We need more men in the box at set pieces not leaving two big men back
We need more determination and aggression
We need more belief
We need a decent keeper, centre back, left back, centre mid, left and right winger and a striker who is fit, strong and can score goals
At the moment only players good enough are Havern, Leather, Reeves and maybe Clee but he is ageing and needs to be fit
Sinnott is stubborn but he needs to change things otherwise he should walk, some of the performances have been woeful, I expected us to struggle but this is ridiculous, they have given up already.
I can’t see anything but a Macc win but I would give this team a go
GK New Keeper before Tuesday
RB Dens
LB Griffin
CB Havern
CB Leather
RW Richman
CM Sean Williams ( if fit )
CM Greg Wilkinson ( I would take the gamble of some energy in the centre of the park because we are being over run through the centre far too often.
CF Reeves
CF Gillespie
It is a massive game on Tuesday, for F-sake get yourself up for it lads, even if that means ignoring Sinnott and has softy softy approach. Step up like men.
