Agree. Seen a few people slating power yesterday but he was fine on the ball and in the tackle without being great. People like roker report talking about him giving the ball away loads yet he had a 92% passing rate. Accept he could offer more creativity if he’s going to be more advanced but he was ok.Scowen? Can someone tell me what he did to deserve a start after yesterday and what Leadbitter did wrong? All I saw from Scowen was a string of poor touches losing and giving the ball away. He might be better than he showed but before he starts he has to produce better as a sub. Power wasn’t great but still was better than Scowen
I’d be tempted to put O’Brien in the middle, Gooch and Maguire either side. I think movement is more troublesome for defenders in this league than physicality.
Burge is to small, heart in mouth moment everytime the ball is swung into the box. Matthews looks the better bet (bar his mistake) and would like to see him have a run in the side.Burge replaced with the spirit of lev yashin
About 20 goals and 15 assists across the last two seasons (2nd of which wasn’t a full season) he can whinge at the ref all he likes. He’s far and away one of our best and most effective players. Ridiculous him not being in the sideGooch can start when he consistently shows his decision making has improved, stops giving free kicks away in the top 1/3 of the pitch to relieve the pressure on the opposition and stops whining on to the refs when he doesn't get his own way. Time to grow up lad and as with McGeady, Parkinson may be offering you choice and you had better make the right one. As at MK last season class goal and shows what he is capable of, we want more.
It’s the key thing Maja had.Is the penny finally beginning to drop for some supporters in this league? I've been saying this since before we started a league game down here, I had seen dozens of Pools games over the years to have figured this out yet loads kept banging on about needing a big strong forward which is absolute bollocks. Good movement in this division is what you need up front, you don't need a plank running into defenders.
Keep Gooch as an impact sub.
Feeney for Flannigan and play 442
Willis or ONien right back
McGuire Scowen Niel Diamond
OBrien and Graham
Keep the ball on the floor and play football.

Hume left back.Is Feeney a left back now?

Appreciate what you say and the facts speak for themselves but he needs to improve other aspects of his game. He has to become more consistently affective, as do alot of the younger players, and a manager been a bit hard with them and forcing them to improve is not the worse thing in the world. With Gooch I think the natural talent is there but due to his lack of height he needs to excel and unless he improves he will be left in this division when we move on. In footballing terms he's not a kid anymore. Honestly hope he makes the right choices for himself as I personally love our own young lads in the team.About 20 goals and 15 assists across the last two seasons (2nd of which wasn’t a full season) he can whinge at the ref all he likes.

Which is why Hume is so important- always making runs and creating space for othersIs the penny finally beginning to drop for some supporters in this league?

Wingers are notoriously inconsistent because they try to do things that few other players can do, high risk high reward attempts. If he was consistently making the right decisions he wouldn’t be playing in league one. As a fan base we have to start accepting that players can have good games and bad games, that they can make good decisions and bad decisions. It sometimes feels like a player has to be perfect to be considered decent otherwise they’re shit with little grey area between.Appreciate what you say and the facts speak for themselves but he needs to improve other aspects of his game.

Sorry if I’ve misunderstood but are you suggesting O’Brien upfront because he hasn’t had a chance there? He’s played every game up front.I’d bring in Gooch for Graham and try OBrien up. I know he hasn’t been great so far but his movement and positioning seems better than the other 3 and hasn’t had a chance there.
Come to think of it probably worth trying against lesser opposition. Probably same team with Gooch on at the hour.
