Just Back

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Not helped by the fact that we must be the worst team for retaining the ball from our throw ins in history. We are absolutely abysmal and there is never any movement from players showing for the ball and we don’t even use the tactic of throwing it down the line to get the opposition to put it out again so we can move forward territorially.

Something that’s been amiss under most of our recent managers and surely it’s an area that could be much improved through giving this increased attention at training.

Quoted from diehardmariner

I've felt the same way about Wilson at times and until very recent games felt he's only best utilised as an impact sub.  But then we've seen him used as more of a target man than someone to play off another, which I think most of us felt was his game.  I also get the lack of buzz around his history too, it isn't a record you look at and feel inspired by. I don't know enough about what happened at Sutton, but I do remember that a few of their fans said he just didn't get chance to be effective because whenever he played the balls just went long and over his head.  

The biggest issue up front all season is that we've tried to use Danny Rose as both the No 9 and the No 10 at the same time.  He's good enough to play both roles, but he can't do them both together.  Wilson as the 9 and Rose as the 10 and I think we see a far, far better (yet still lacking support from midfield) output in attack.

That wouldn't he much of a deviation from the games Wilson and Rose started together of late (FGR and AFC Wimbledon) but on both those occasions Rose was very, very deep to help out the midfield.

For what it's worth I don't think he'll stay here.  I think we'll lose him in the summer and I don't think Artell will fight to keep him really.  But I also think he'll go onto to do a very decent job for another club at this level, hopefully we'll get someone else in who can do an even better job in a Town shirt.

Quoted from Heisenberg

I liked Orsi and wanted him to stay, but nobody knew he was a 20 goal a season man. Not you, not anyone.

Quoted from RonMariner

No one has a crystal ball, but I would have thought that part of the job of being a manager is to access the ability of players they see day to day in the squad.

Quoted from grimsby pete

Orsi. was never given an extended run but when he did play I thought he did well .

He has scored 16 goals up to now so he is on for 20+ by the end of the season.

Hurst always had his favourites sadly Orsi. was not one of them neither was Cook another one I was sad to see leave.

Quoted from Heisenberg

I liked Orsi and wanted him to stay, but nobody knew he was a 20 goal a season man. Not you, not anyone.

Quoted from diehardmariner

Orsi scored four goals in 1118 minutes for us (including 4 assists and with a good chunk of those minutes against higher league opposition).  That's pretty much a goal every 3 games.  You pan that over a full 46 game season and you get 15 goals.

There was certainly enough to suggest he had it within him to be a high teens/20 goals a season striker.

Hurst got it wrong.  Simple as.

Quoted from acko338

Sign George Lloyd up when Cheltenham get relegated - grafter, runner, scores a few, harrasses defenders, linked well with Rose last season, good stamina in the no 10 role that has been missing.
