I thought it was a tough game, Fleming could of done better with their 2 goals, did anybody see me? And thanks for the free burger barton
Could we turn this into another unique Fishy thing? Along with the 'Just Back' threads could everyone who saw Aaron report it in their post? And maybe rate him out of 10? |

Quoted from 1600
Can't see another thread so here we go...
Dry bobbly pitch made it tough for passing but quick surface and small pitch gave the feel of a of a 5 a side game.
1st half
.................Fleming
Wood....Ford?....Miller...Thomas
.......Disley..Thanoj..Artus
Colbeck........Cook.......Southwell
Went with 4-3-3 today which merged into 451 but we spread the ball well and Colbeck got into the wide spaces well.
2nd half (generally)
............Fleming
YT.......Wood....Pearson...Morell
..........Hatton.......Niven
................Soares
.Southwell...G Pearson...Elding
Trlalist centre back did alright but not the biggest and would like to see him again.
Youth right back impressed me 2nd half.
MOM for me today was Southwell for control, skill and ball retention.
Think it was him who put a delightful left footed cross in for Hatton to nod home ? (who I thought did alright in the middle)
Not as top notch a perfromance as previous games(though that's a tough ask) and would have liked to see a bit more creativity on show to open up the space instead of being forced to pass back. (though maybe this was the plan to keep the ball)
But a fair perfromance and good workout and given the conditions don't think you can read too much into it either way.
Thanks for that 80's... What would you start with for the season, from what you've seen? 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, or something different... Pleased Southwell is doing well, think he may well get an opportunity this year and take it... What was the goals like? Counter attack, good football or hit & hopes? |

Bradley has to start at RB
I'd agree with that right now. Sure Hatton isn't far behind (if at all) but notice he lept into a challenge again giving away a free kick. Just doesn't look quite as defensively solid as Brad and starting to look obvious he's better in a more forward role. That said, hope we give him another go at right back at Lincoln.
Barton looked much better than they did last year when we played them, but still I was disappointed with conceding 2 against them.
Not the best performance but by no means poor.
Agree with all that though not overly worried about the conceded goals. Maybe lower opposition see it as their cup final while we see it as just another friendly game ? Suppose it wasn't our first choice centre back pairing too - taking nothing away from Ford, thought Miller looked the more reassuring of the two. (think he needs to be careful to keep goalside of his man though, slight worry one day he might get turned...). |

Well, I'm not 'concerned' as such, was just a little disappointed, especially when they had a good chance to equalise quite early in the second half, I thought the comeback was on and 3-3 against a side so far below us with such a strong 11 would not have been good. But ho hum, didn't happen. Who put the cross in for the 4th 80s, did you see? Was a nice ball in. |

Thanks for that 80's... What would you start with for the season, from what you've seen? 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, or something different...
Can I say I'm still not sure ?  Probably 442 but not cos of anything particualr I've seen that says 433 won't work. Some see improved performances playing 442 as the underlying reason but think it might be more co-incidence we've improved 2nd half playing 442 after a possible "kick up the bottom" (especially vs Donny). That said, it's more balanced and with Niven, would hope we won't be overrun in the middle. Main concern is whether 433 could really end up as 451 and if we want to regularly win away, would prefer not see a formation that too defensive in nature (presuming it is but we may need to cover those flanks) Though perhaps worth noting 433 often changed to 442 today when Colbeck came back to cover the right side so perhaps the 433/442 question isn't as big as we think and it's a combination of the two ?...
What was the goals like? Counter attack, good football or hit & hopes?
Other will probably remember better than me. But I'll say good football (albeit scrappy ones) 1st half and a well worked move down the right for the 4th. |

Oh really ? Went for a slash so I missed that !

Thought it was Southwell but I could be wrong. (see earlier comment) It was certainly a great cross ! |

Today. Well thought it was a very sloppy game by town today having player how good they have against Donny hull and scunny..
Southwell played very well.
For how good cook and g pearson was tuesday thought both was poor today didn't show any movement In behind the defence. Looked leggy if I'm honest, as did s pearson.
Thanoj has a great pass but looks as tho he doesn't want to do the other side of the game.
Keeper should have done better for both goals..
So so performances all round. Hope now they refocus ready for lincoln..
