Got to revert to 4-4-2  this system not working tonight.

Good goal by Tilley the only bright spot for us apart from the grass.

Well done to the groundsman he has improved the playing surface 100% since the start of the season.

Quoted from 123614


He pushed the ball out right to the feet of the incoming player!  Either get two hands to it or push it out wide of the goal. I don't know what it is with keepers these days, none of them want to get two hands to the ball!



I’ve noticed that , I’m sure what was bread and butter saves years ago are now all punched or parried rather than caught , it’s the same from crosses and corners , keepers used to jump up and pluck the ball no problems from a corner and nine time’s out of ten if they dropped it the ref would give a free kick

Gibson not doing enough to hold the ball up and keep possession in attacking areas and the ball just keeps coming back into our final third.

He’s not making those runs into the channels either in order to turn their centre backs.

Good prospect IMO but not a lone striker - he looks a bit lost.


Up The Mariners!

Getting a job done on us by a very organised, fit and lively team, very impressed with them.
Having said that our shape and selection isnt helping, Spokes and Morton running in treacle in the middle,  Clifton isnt a wing back.
Harrogate clearly know we want to play from the back and have pinned us down exposing our lack of centre half ball ability.

Lucky to be still in it, a good half time shake up needed here.

Agree, he pushed it back out into the danger area.

I thought Maccas position on the second goal was suspect which meant that he struggling straight away.

We’re missing Williams and Rose. Would prefer Green to Gibson (he’s won nothing all night). Hopefully, Hanson’s got 45 minutes in him. Tilley, Pollock, Waterfall and Clifton have done okay - the rest rubbish.

He showed too much goal to his left, so looked at full stretch but that was due to iffy positioning

That was awful let's make no mistake.

Clifton needs moving into the centre as Morton and Spokes can not play together, Spokes in particular looks way way way out of his depth both on the ball and off the ball (yes I know it is his first game) Morton  looks tidy technically but he needs the right partner alongside him, nothing is sticking up top, we need Hanson on to hold the ball up, improvement needed

Think too many changes being made . These are pro footballers and should be able to play twice a week .. I know some are young , but if your not fit when you are young you will never be, We are not out of it but changes in shape are needed for the second half without a doubt
