Match Thread/No Wyke or Watmore

[10 Gary Rowells]

Pretty dull stuff. But I thought McGeouch, Willis, Embleton, Kimpioka and Dobson played well. McNulty was also nice and busy.

Embleton was a bit disappointing and Hume was worryingly poor.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Playing Mcgeough and Leadbitter is a mistake. They are too similar. One or the other playing with Dobson or Robson will be better

 

[The Muffin Man]

Cattermole was better than both together.

Different set up, if Mcgeouch is gonna pick up scraps and give to Dobson etc to bomb on that’s gonna be spot on....We appear to have signed a big, athletic centre mid who wants to pass and go quickly. Some really positive signs in there tonight

 

[cooky]

I thought McGeouch was comfortably our best player tonight.

Didn’t see tonight but I’m a big fan of mcgeough, him and Dobson for me on Saturday.

Then again, they created our best chances.

wins the ball and keeps it moving. That's his job. Unfortunately once he's shifted it the next player on the ball does the same

His "quality" is only apparent because he rarely passes the ball through the opposition players. It's always an easy uncontested sideways or backwards ball. Essentially he allows someone else to take the risk of punting it forward.

 

[The Muffin Man]

I think we have enough quality to stay in this league. Might even surprise one or two of the better teams.

Will go up automatically, probs as champions

Which is his job.

McLaughlin absolutely strolling through these friendlies, seems very confident in his ability and always calm on the ball.
Hopefully Ross saw tonight that he can start one of Leadbitter and McGeouch, not both

 

[Paolo's Right Hand]

Equally having to listen to your juvenile posts - 'Toss'? Better banter would be expected from a 12 year old.

You must have a bet for us to stay in League 1 for another season then

As it stands we'll still have Oviedo for the first game I reckon.

 

[Travis]

Holding a side as good as that to a 0-1 is like a win


I agree

Tongue in cheek but they are An Eredivise side and we are League 1.

Hope not, needs to be moved on

Don’t see him winning that much ball tbh. When he does get it he’s looking to play it backwards and sideways every time. Slows the tempo right down making it difficult for the player he gives it to, usually in a five yard radius. This is league 1, teams are coming to the SOL and sitting back for a draw. We shouldn’t need a midfielder who is glued to a spot five yards in front of the back four. Too slow, too predictable, shouldn’t be anywhere near the team.

Embleton was ok I thought but the more I see of Hume tells me he’s nowhere near ready for first choice left back / wingback

 

[Lord Alfred]

What.....giving it to a defender who he knows invariably punts it forward and loses possession?

he's generally won the ball back without going to ground and found space before that 'easy uncontested sideways' ball. He wouldn't be in league one if he could win the ball back, get away from any of the opposition, drive forward 40 yards and create a chance by himself. If he had someone to give the ball to who could then complete the move by driving forward and creating something then we'd see the effectiveness of McGeouch.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't, he's just not an immature imbecile

Feel for Hume abit. He was poor but Flanagan gives him no help defensively.

Whoa! Steady on there.
