Comrade 86 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Warne needs to get into the lads at halftime. It's been a totally lethargic performance so far, bordering on complacent. After getting some flak on Saturday, only Curtis seems to have turned up thus far with a couple of very timely challenges. Didzy and Barks are uncharacteristically miles off the pace.

SillyBilly Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Can understand the thinking for the long balls on the massive pitch but we seemed to be totally reliant on punting it forward the entire half as if that was the only brief. And the execution was pretty bad too. Pitch looks awful for passing but we can take these if we at least try to play a bit IMO. Game devoid of quality, the pitch and play was like Sunday League football. Confident we can win this if we take the game to them second half.

Blondest Goat Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Poor distribution from the back. Appreciate the pitch is dreadful but we still look better when we get the ball down and play to feet.

IslandExile Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Not the greatest game there's ever been. We're not creating that much but at least we're still in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's the tactic, or if it's defined by the size and state of the pitch. Kniighty looks composed as always, but it's not been pretty so far. Been a fair few poor passes too. One or two good chances, but lots of wasted opportunities. Have to hope they run out of steam as they are looking dangerous coming forward.

Caerphilly Ram Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Not pretty, but we did have a couple of chances and it’s 0-0 with a half to go, plus options on the bench. As others have said, a little more control and composure needed. Their centre half is a wind up merchant, wonder if throwing Collins on to battle him is the right move or if Collins might end up lamping him and getting sent off ?

S8TY Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Although pitch is not the greatest we have looked better when we get it down and play …I don’t mind us trying to get it in behind them on a pitch this size but for me I’d get it to NML and Barks and say run at them as there is lots of space behind them ..we’ve had two good chances and decision making has to be better …one goal either way will win this …Dobbins pace maybe good in second half if he comes on but it’s become a 50/50 scrap and think we can control the game more Blondest Goat, Ellafella and Caerphilly Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK47 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We need to take control of the 2nd half. Port Vale are doing a great job of dragging us down to their level and making us scrap for the ball instead of retaining it. We need to get the ball down, string some passes together and the slow the tempo down, then attack with intent. Warne will get into them, but Vale are a horrible team to play against. I see us nicking it second half though, its tailored for the energy of Dobs and physical prowess of Collins. ?

kevinhectoring Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Butterworth has been the most influential player so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Not been good. Could’ve scored twice early but so could’ve they by half time. Their number 26 looks a decent player. Pitch isn’t good which isn’t helping, but it’s far too long without thought. Aimless even when there’s time or someone in a good position. Soft centre too in letting them past the midfield. Have to improve second half or this won’t end too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine paying travel money to go and watch that garbage. Sunday league quality that first half. Hopefully some one in our team will put their foot on the ball second half otherwise I will be asking for my full £10 back not just the £5. The only positive is that I am comfortably warm. angieram and Boycie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 . Stop giving it away 2. NML sort your crossing and f**** have a go at their full back. 3. Get Collins on, he will sort out Smith their centre half although one of them will get a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good looking to the bench to change things either. So have to hope they tire. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
