But I'm confident with any of combination of Hooper, Fletcher, Winnall & Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Robbed today, but I'm sure there will be weeks where we don't deserve the points but get them. Clear handball on line in second half. Debatable pen in the first half. The cheers that were received for first offside shows how many were getting missed. Had the chances to win today and also need to stop giving ball away / conceding ridiculous goals and pens. 1 point down, 99 to go before crowned champs!!

He's arguably the most dangerous striker in this division, in and around the box. Get him good service and he'll start finding the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Let's hope yet another slow start to a season doesn't end up costing us. Much better 2nd half but such a dull performance first half. We really need some pace in our team. We need an outlet from defence to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diamond suits us going forward but it makes it hard when the other team attacks down the wings. Bannan had another good game but everyone else was a little off. Winnall works hard but I'm not sure his passing is good enough. I think we'd have won that if we'd had FF coming off the bench. Before I get negged, I do think Winnall played well....sounds ultra negative about him in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Only someone very optimistic could see this team suddenly shifting a gear and winning most games. Soft at defending and not ruthless enough currently. We could've won it and we have no right to boss teams each week but a promotion side would look more convincing and sure of themselves in key areas surely?

Disagree with your criticism of his passing. He played a couple of lovely one touch passes in some of the build-up play. And, without looking, I'd wager his accuracy was better than Reach's today.

Nothing has changed There is no evidence that anything is going to change How long have we been saying we start slowly and give the opposition confidence? How long have we been saying we need more pace in the side? Still nothing changes. There needs to be a change of manager or all we can expect is the same sh!!te again and again.

At some point it falls upon the striker to get himself into better positions and be able to at least be visible out there on the pitch. If he is so dangerous, why can Fletcher, Hooper, FF and Winnall find the back of the net, but not Jordan Rhodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he plays one touch he is very good. It's when he has time to think about it that he often gets it wrong. He played well today though. Unfortunately, Reach did not. I said he was awful last season and he is still awful this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It takes apparently takes 6 months under Carlos to make people start questioning your ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
