B4ev6is Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Well guys does jake rooney come in at right back or come into midfield we been lacking some steel in recent weeks certainly consider him there guys. I dont get why he is not getting a look in at the side at the moment in time rooney who could have made the difference.

There could be place for him somewhere on the pitch and I do rate him however, whilst neither White or Hourihane had great games (but then again, who did?) I think both will have a much better chance to flourish at home against a team like Cheltenham. Bizarre as it may sound given yesterday’s shambles, I wouldn’t expect many changes for Tuesday given that game will present a much different type of challenge. It could be a game that calls for more guile than steel in order to break down what might be a stubborn Cheltenham team.

angieram Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He's a nineteen year old who has hardly kicked a football in a competitive match since the management stopped him from playing with the under 21s. I wouldn't start him, no. Carnero, Ellafella, Day and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I suspect we’ll see the same starting XI on Tuesday who will be given the chance to get yesterday out of their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramifications Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I no longer like Sibley at left back. I do however think he should be in the team. Who gives up a place for him, I couldn't say. Probably Barkhuizen but I wouldn't like to see Sibley quite as wide, more an old inside left position.

Away from home, a back three and Sibley as a wing back would make us more solid. But if we keep a back four, which tbh is my preference, then Roberts is the more solid defender. Sibley's future is surely as a more central advanced midfielder, because of his goal threat, but he's got to toughen up to play there. And wait for some of the older players to retire (hope he's learning from them!) David Graham Brown, Premier ram and Tamworthram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defensive game is much better but he is, as you point out, a central advanced midfielder in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we have with playing midfielders at full back and an ageing left back at centre half is that it works fine against the weaker opposition but we get found out against the better teams.

I dont get why he is not getting a look in at the side at the moment in time rooney who could have made the difference. This is a really good question. In his Barnsley post match Warne (surprisingly) said we looked a bit ‘old men’. Lincoln squeezed the football out of us first half with their press and Barnsley put us off our game with their energy. And posters on here are saying “what can we do if lots of players have an off day?”. Duh. Cause and effect. The better managers see what’s going on. We’ll struggle for top 6 if Warne doesn’t find a way to a stronger midfield. And as we saw yesterday the defence need the protection, and people will work out how to penetrate an exposed Forsyth/Cashin team. More bodies in midfield is the obvious solution. But more youngsters will help and Rooney could improve fast. Also, try McGoldrick much deeper, Smith in midfield, Tommo to break up play, Sibley in a position that suits him better. PW seems to have fixed on a starting Xl and shape that can be outdone by a squad of fit 25 year olds DiggerB and May Contain Nuts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was the same. Part of the problem is setting up so you can either play out or go long. You’re in danger of doing neither well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondest Goat Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Can't see Rooney coming in on the back of a couple of poor performances for the team. Warne and the coaching staff see him in training every day and clearly think we have better options. Edited February 26, 2023 by Blondest Goat .

plymouthram Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I would'nt be surprised, when Chester is fit and up to speed, Warne could switch to 3 centrebacks and have wingbacks. Not being horrid to Curtis Davies but I would have Jake Rooney on the bench instead. The young lad got more energy/speed and can play in more positions than Curtis.

cannable Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Away at Mansfield in the cup he really did have the same aura as Thorne and Bielik. Not even sure I can explain it. Huddlestone didn’t even have it and he’s played for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
