Groundhopping Owl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Terrific first 20 minutes, really high intensity and dominated the ball. After that all the flow went out of the game but that wasn't really our fault. I'm perfectly happy at half time and it hasn't been too often I've felt that way watching us in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_vinyl_frontier Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Need to get a couple more before they get one and sit back. Johnson looked poor, would swap for Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Work in progress but some positive signs. Johnson looks very rusty and Palmer needs to step it up. But overall happy that they are trying to play good footy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byers is a red card waiting to happen and Johnson is having a shocker. Everybody else decent. Bannan and Iorfa are different gravy. Worried that Sam looks like he’s coming off. Not sure about Iorfa and Dunkley as a partnership. Game not over yet, especially with this ref!! Can you expand on the Byers comment ? He has been booked!! That does happen in football and it’s possible he could get booked again but he hasn’t put a foot wrong apart from that Nice to see a midfield on the same wavelength as Bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Johnson's been a little quiet compared to the rest, palmers been alright but some of his passing hasn’t been great a decent half. Johnson on a yellow so swap for brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 HT thoughts Amazing first 25, absolutely brilliant. Every single player contributing at a high level As is normal we lost a bit of momentum and Fleetwood got hold. Ref held it up a bit, but actually not a bad thing as knocked Fleetwood out of rhythm too Adeniran, Bannan, Gregory Iorfa and Byers too performers. Gregory going to be a less balding Fletcher type for us I can tell. Hunt delivery exceptional but a bit rash in possession at times. Left hand side a little concerning, Johnson not yet playing freely. Palmer needing to cut inside loses momentum when he has to release the ball. Wouldn’t change Palmer out given clean sheets, but feel we need a bit more balance down that side long-term so would like to see JB come in at LB over time Oh and love Big Darren too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely.I think that is down to the Ref who's totally disrupted the flow of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really could carve out your own little niche in show business - slinger208b "the guy who makes post jokes". Maybe do a sitcom, Netflix specials, cross over with the MCU?

McRightSide Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Another thing I noticed… Isn’t it funny how the pitch seems smaller even though it’s been extended? Tells you a lot about our pace and movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher was the difference between a bottom half and top six side for us before he left and had a bit of everything. If Gregory brings that he’s a great signing. Depending on how bad Hutchinson is injured we might be looking a bit light there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
