Disappointed in one thing

Should have brought some of the subs on and earlier today.
Elding with 5 mins to go is a nothing substitution, after about 70 Cook and Pearson were looking laggy, a freshened up front line could have sneaked a couple more and it would have been the perfect game to let Soares have a run up top to exploit the spaces.

The team however showed what they are capable of today so that now becomes the benchmark, pity less than 3000 home fans saw it.

Picky, very picky!

Hey we won and played great  

Although I'd take moaning at not bringing subs on when 4 nil up any day rather than moaning how crap we played.


Keep it up town its up to you now to string some wins together and kick on.

I disagree. I didn't see the need to make any subs today as we were that much better than them plus i think Elding is gash goalscoringwise but it's all about opinions.

You can't please some

Not really, thought we stepped off it around that time, players had done their bit so liven it up, we started to sit back a little at that point too. Need to be ruthless on the pitch and on the bench, keep players on their toes and also for the like of Soares today would have been a free one, if he had come on and played terrible the crowd would have been non too fussed about it with the result in the bag.

The main sub should have been Disley who took a knock and was very jaded.

Subs to get a game in a winning position gives them some of that feel good factor.

A clean sheet would have been great but I'm not holding that consolation goal against such a determined performance.

Absolutely disagree. Several of us in the Upper Smith thought that actually we should have made no substitutions. The team was playing well, full of confidence and so why change it. Leave it as it is and make it very very difficult for anyone to get a look in.

The only way we should make changes is if something isn't working or somebody isn't playing well. Give players 90 minutes and breed a winning 11 mentality.

The Elding substitution appearance was just about fine with 5 minutes to play. Would have been an even better shout to waste time if there was only a couple of minutes to wind down and if we were only one goal up.

Pleased your prediction was wrong by the way!  UTM!!

Have to say i agree with moosey. It's not being negative. You can't rest on your laurels. It could have prevented us conceding a goal near the end with a few fresher players on getting to the ball first.

I'd have brought on Thanoj for Disley, and Soares for G.Pearson as well as the Elding change.

AFTER A PEA POOR start to the season (according to most posters on this topic) i think Moosey was 100% right with his comment, we should have changed things at 4v0 mentality is part of confidence and players not starting would have mentally felt fitter and more confident coming on at 4 nil up, this would have pushed more confidence it the whole squad rather than just the starting 11 and giving the fans the chance to really see what these players are able to do ...... Its only 6 games in and this was a perfect chance wasted by our chuckle brothers ... lets hope next time we in this situation they will give the fringe players a chance while the pressure is off

UTM onwards and upwards

Difference of opinion but either way it isn't THAT important.

Given the start and the chopping and changing that has taken place I'd suggest it was vital for those who were on the bench (having been given chances and failed to take them) like Hatton, Soares and Elding that they may have to wait to get a chance again given the outstanding contribution of those who started.
