Waterfall

Quoted from Tommy

Just to correct a few people:

The Waterfall for Morais substitution was made BEFORE they had that chance where Eastwood saved it and their lad smacked it over from 5 yards out.

I maintain that while they were having a bit more possession, they weren't causing us problems or creating chances until we made that sub and made it easier for them to get higher up the pitch and put crosses in.

That is exactly what their commentator said would happen, and it did.

these subs can go one way or the other last night unfortunatly it went agsinst us , hanson should have headed that ball not waterfall simple  as that , but we are bottom of lge so need a scapegoat , some of the things i saw aimed at him on social media are way beyond football , would these fans of ours have the guts to face to face him ?

You can't blame a player who puts the effort in on the pitch but is basically not upto the job
It's the manager who puts him on. Don't think he's the sort of player who will hide Unlike some

Sadly he (and Pollock) have been at the heart of one of the worst defences in the entire EFL.

Sadly he (and Pollock) have been at the heart of one of the worst defences in the entire EFL.

Unfortunately Pollocks lack of pace is going to seriously affect his chances of moving to a higher level which is a great shame. Always looks a little overweight to me but that may just be his build as he’s naturally a big lad and always looks to be training hard in the background of PH’s interviews.

This season has probably been a blip in his development but given any experience should contribute to his overall improvement as a person and a player, let’s hope so.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Accept that Waterfall may have been better letting the ball hit him and clear rather than try and head it but after watching the goal a few times now I have to say that Hanson was a major factor as he made no effort to compete for the ball aerially and this allowed an easy flick on.

I saw that as well on the reply. Hanson is the golden boy at the minute and can do wrong, the goal came about by his fault not to head the ball, what's more his feet never left the ground.

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

There was only about 1.5 minutes between Waterfall coming on and them scoring, so the impact of the changes to formation were zero.

0-1 when he comes on and we change formation
1-1 within 2 minutes of him coming on and changing formation.

I'd say that's the absolute opposite of zero impact.

Waterfall came on.  They created that chance where Eastwood made a great save and then the Carlisle guy skied it.  That came from bad defending.  The lad was at the back post unmarked.

The goal came from shambolic defending.  Waterfall missed the ball, other players didn't know what they were doing.  They scored.

After that we nearly conceded again when they caused panic in our area.

Be it Waterfall as an individual, the change in system or a combination of both.  But that's what changed the course and outcome of the game.

Anyway, it's done now.  To say we need a result on Saturday is an understatement.  We take those sloppy 3 minutes out of it and it was a good performance and one that should give confidence/belief.
