Title: How many games Phil?
Post by: HashtagAlty on December 26, 2018, 05:00:15 PM
Three in a row now against County.

Three times a very average side have strolled passed us. Maybe change it up next time?

As for the players, so much for wanting revenge.

On to Guiseley but I'll be spending New Year's Day elshwere.

It’s becoming a modern day version of Woking away circa 2005-2014. Just put the 2-0 defeat in the post and save us all the bother. Thoroughly tedious.

Stockport were a very well organised side who were better than us all over the pitch today. They look far from average in this division.
I don’t see what revenge has to do with it? Why would that make you play any better?

Our side are quoted as saying as they were out for revenge that should probably inspire a more inspiring performance

They've spent most of the season in the middle 7 (7-14) so I would say it makes them average

They were bang up for that game, well organised. Pressed the ball high up the field. 5 at the back with solid midfield in front. Got us on the break for second, super finish. First was sloppy defending at the back post.

Need a plan B for New Years Day

Not to mention echoes of all those soul-destroying 1-0 defeats against Vics at The Drill Field circa 1977 to 1981.

I thought it was a good game between two good sides, you had a lot of possession but your lads seem to run out of patience after 4 or 5 passes and ended up shooting from 30 or 40 yards, we created the clearer chances and that told in the end, I'm convinced we'll both be up there at the end of the season.

Fair post.

Obviously doesn't come naturally to most fans but I'll definitely give credit to the opposition - County are a well organised outfit with an effective game plan. That's often enough to get out of this league and I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

Come on Phil. Tell us.

I put my ego aside and went today. Put your ego aside and explain.

I said beforehand that we should have tried something different, but unfortunately we didn't! After 3 consecutive shut outs against a team with a strong and powerful defence, we continued with one up top and made it incredibly easy for them. Once Sang came on to support Jordan, we obviously looked more of a threat.

Moving forward, the keeper obviously needs a rest and I'm pretty sure the management team must be working on another loan winger, as poor Mattack looks massively out of his depth.

I like Stockport and I want them to go up, but a really good side would have put the game to bed by half time today - we were abject. They don't score enough goals and I fear that will ultimately be their undoing.

Can anyone illuminate me as to why Andy White got booked, as from the view we had, it looked like a quality tackle.

That would be down to the ref  Mr Matt Corlett. Hope he never refs us again. Credit to our players for not getting even more wound up by his "decisions".
