He is getting it so wrong
« on: January 11, 2022, 09:31:39 PM »

They are two levels above us but what the hell was that....

We again tried to set up to absorb the pressure like Boxing Day when we were dire.

We are just waiting to concede each game then using a ridiculous amount of energy chasing games that are too far away from us.

People moaned about PP not having a plan B, we need to get back to plan A and play our known formation.

Digie is awful.
Moult is too slow for this level.
Mooney isn't great when started.
Hancock is having an awful season.
TT can't move his feet before making any attempt to save.

Their second was shocking, we stood off 50 plus metres with no-one going near the ball. Hannigan was awful on that goal.

White never gets tight.

Really need to go back to basics. Would much rather lose giving it our best go.

The front four should be Colcough, Kossy, Pringle No.10 and Hulme.

PP always says about players taking their chance, Pringle has on several occasions but never starts??

One plus was Morgan.

A fan of PP but he needs to sort this nonsense out.

We were awful true, but why Digie is singled out is beyond me…

I thought he was one of the ‘better’ performers tonight.

Digie is all legs and very chaotic.

We look more nervous with him as a CB. Just the way it is.

Very strange team selection tonight from Parky. Disrupting the Mullarkey / Hannigan partnership to bring in Digie, putting Mullarkey in centre midfield, then to round things off dropping Jordan and not playing a recognised striker.
The Pringle situation is baffling. One of the most gifted players we’ve had in years at Alty yet can’t get a start. Like mentioned above, I’d play him in the No.10 behind Jordan.
Stockport blitzed us at Edgeley, but tonight we surrendered before a ball was kicked. Think the wounds from Boxing Day hadn’t healed for Parky and it showed in the approach tonight.

I agreed I thought he looked very good particularly in the first half

 As soon as saw the team sheet my pre match optimism waned somewhat.
Why split the centre back pairing and place Toby in Midfield.

Why wasn’t Furman playing in the defensive midfield role.

Everybody was chuffed Jordon is back. Where the hell was he.

Basic individual errors contributed to another heavy defeat.

OK Stockport are good, Real Madrid they are NOT.

I sometimes think PP can be mulish and gave me the impression he would play the same  system that didn’t work on Boxing Day to try and prove his critics wrong

Well Phil you basically got it wrong ..

Moult I fear is finding this league difficult and is struggling to keep up

Nobody up top to hold the ball up ! ! Because the man who can do that job was sat on the bench.

Pringle should have been on at least at half time.

Play our passing game we are good when we do that.

Stockport did a Job on Colclough and stopped him playing.

Dan Mooney like Colough hardly got much out of the game.

Yeah we scored, mainly down to Stockport taking it easy.

Very disappointing, we always seem to Cock up when we have a fantastic crowd in.

Those of us who are Old enough remember the year when we drew about 19 games and went down.

Draws are no good now, we need wins or else we will slide down the league again..

Tonight did prove that the gap between Alty and the Stockports  of this  league are massive.

We have a very long way to go on and off the field to get anywhere close I’m afraid.

I remember Northwich Victoria mocking our 10 game drawing run back when there was only one of them. Those were the days.

Apart from any issues I don't know about, I suspect he may have been trying to rotate players, possibly with an eye to more winnable games in the coming weeks, and possibly considering the lack of full match fitness of some players.

I believe that Jordan Hulme 'tweaked his groin' during the warm-up.

Perhaps he may have made an appearance if, say, we had merely been 1-0 down with 15-20 minutes to go but the game was well and truly up for us long before then.

I suspect that most of us feared the worst as soon as we saw the Alty teamsheet, which was tantamount to being a white flag.

And playing Mullarkey in some sort of bizarre midfield role was utterly bewildering.

Yeah agree with you. Think Phil can be stubborn at times with players and formations and in the past it hasn't worked out well.

He chose the wrong formation last night. It did feel like we had surrendered before a ball was kicked.

Even if Hulme tweaked his groin, he still could have had a four of Colclough, Mooney, Pringle and Leitch-Smith/Hancock and given it a good go.

He got it badly wrong, I honestly think we would have conceded last than 9 goals against county with less defenders on the pitch. You simply invite pressure with a back 5.

If it's true that he lost Hulme in the warmup then that's unfortunate of course - but it sounds like he opted to change the entire setup instead of simply putting Leitch-Smith in from the start, or moving Hancock up and bringing someone else into the midfield which would have made more sense.

I agree with most of the original post with the exception of Dan Mooney - as frustrating as he can be with his end product at times (hence why he plays in the National League and not the Football League), it's no surprise we have a good record with him in the side. If he's available and fit, he starts.

Yep, team was out before they warmed up. Jordan said they knew the lineup the night before on Pastries.

He moved Mallarkey to man mark is it sarsaveic in my opinion, what a failure. Moult was also trying to mark someone, but failed.
