hayes and yeading manager.

calls us a very direct team and very physical?

thought we passed them off the park really and cant think we was too direct.

Arsenal are direct, it can involve silky passing but instead of knocking it about sideways and probing for gaps is more a case of get it into the danger area quickly and put the opponent under. I'd say we have a 'mixed' style, which is most likely the best as options to differ play.

Nice for us to be the physical ones now after being bullied off the Park for as long as we've been in the lower echelons.

We won, they didn't......Pub team anyway

Direct ? Artus was silky, Walt ran with the ball and used a slide rule for some passes.

Physical ? Have they played Fleetwood yet ?

we are direct!
not out and out long ball but definitely direct.

Ye we were direct. We passed direct from one player to the other until we stuck it directly into there net then Brad stuck it direct into there net from 35 yards  

I thought we played a nice mix of styles - we certainly passed it a lot more than we have done, and more crucially we passed it around in the right areas. Once we were within 40 yards of their goal we looked to keep it on the ground at all times (apart from the occasional cross).

This is what Scott and Hurst promised us. They said they wanted to encourage passing but in the right areas. I don't think you'll see us knocking it across the back four or trying to thread the ball through midfield. I think our tactic is to get the ball into the final third of the pitch and make it stick there - either by the strikers holding it up or feeding on loose balls. The Hayes defenders would win headers but Disley and Artus were excellent at pickingh up the clearances - and then we got down the channels and worked openings for ourselves.

In my opinion I thought yesterday was the first time the players got what Scott and Hurst wanted them to do.

You dont get out of this league playing pretty football, Hurst & Scott are trying to get a good mix IMO like richmariner said yesterday was a nice mix between long and short football. If am honest i couldnt care less what Hayes's managers thinks, after all we won 3-0 and out played them. Probs sour grapes.

I didn't think we were very physical, although H&Y did look like the least physical team I've seen this season.

He wasn't slagging our approach off just saying what he saw and that his team didn't turn up which meant we owned them, who cares if we're direct anyway? You still only get 3 points for a win regardless of how pretty it is.

Ah fair enough, just from the posts above it seemed that he was having a pop at us.

creepy last year played some good stuff imo

Gotta love that 'his team didn't turn up' bit he.  Maybe it was a case that we were simply much better than they were?  Still trying to understand how we didn't get a proper hatful against them to be honest.

Thought Hearn was outstanding and Disley in the middle and Green at right-back looked most excellent.  Very few had a bad day at the office it has to be said, although I still can't work out quite how Serge is worth a starting place ahead of Eagle.  Especially when it was plain to see how well both Eagle and Green worked together once that change was made on the left.

The only other notable point-out sadly has to be Elding.  My oh my...

Perhaps your judgement isn't that great on players either.

you not think green was good ?

and

"I was impressed with Grimsby, particularly the number 10 Hearn who caused us a lot of problems all game.
good to hear he is getting praise from other managers aswell

Do you have an "L" and an "R" painted on your wellies?

After ten years of dross I could not care less how we are perceived to be getting a win just as long as we get one

Which is probably why we won
