Now the negative bit

Quoted from realist

I dont do non league. If you are happy with the poor standard of football, fair enough but I'm not

Yeah, because we've been absolutely spoilt with all of the superb football we've seen in League Two over the past few decades.

Looking at the You Tube highlights my opinion hasn't changed much,

1st 2 goals poor defending and Efete should have got closer to the scorer on both.

3rd goal their player gets the flick on from the throw despite 2 defenders going up for the challenge, Macca should have been more positive and again Efete should have got closer to the scorer.  

What the 8 mins of highlights also told me was that we played pretty well especially going forward and could have had at least another 2/3 with a bit sharper finishing.

Not all "negative" is it?

Surely - if we know the back 4 is lacking pure pace, and we have an inexperienced left sided young midfielder on the field, then we defend higher up in midfield areas, and give better instructions to an inexperienced player making his debut.

Efete looked like he was having to choose which player to follow, with limited support on that flank.

For their 3rd goal, defenders should go for the near post ball, and the goalie be further back against headers or deflections.

I wonder if their defenders are getting the same Barnet fan  forum roasting from Souza's play on our right flank.

Ok, we got away with it this game, and I am sure that those 3 goals will be on constant video replay to resolve positioning in future games.

Bottom line - we got away with it, so it's a learning opportunity !

By the way, wasn't Crocombe criticised for flapping at crosses in a recent friendly?

Our game against Wrexham a week on Tuesday will be interesting with their usage of the long throw in………

I don’t really get all the Macca bashing tbh.

First goal Pearson got done through his legs. There was a bit of luck seeing the ball ricochet nicely in to the path of the attacker but I don’t see what Macca could have done tbh.

Second was similar. Simple overlap but the forward received the ball with his back to goal and turned Waterfall nicely and somewhat unexpectedly and finished in the corner. Again I don’t see how Macca is to blame?

Third is a total excrement show. I think there were 4 defending that area where the ball drops from the throw and they all lose out to the (big) Bloomfield again. I think it’s fair to say Macca got caught on his heals because he wasn’t expecting it and maybe his positioning was a touch out and he could have been a couple of paces further back. Definitely not a bad enough performance to be racing to log in thefishy moaning about the keeper though after that gem of a match.

I remember under Buckley in the early promotions seasons he played two Keepers( Sherwood and Reece )  often rotating them.
I can’t remember if that was due to injuries or form or did he pick horses for courses ?
Would choosing a Keepers with different strengths be a good idea against different opposition?

Sherwood was the number 1, but at his stage of career, he picked up knocks on a regular basis.

I know the feeling. Getting out of bed is a mission nowadays 🤦‍♂️
