Matchday Fred Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) The midfield has no pace, no bite, no guile, will not track back and put a foot in. There is no pace or physicality anywhere, just lots of very samey nice blokes who laugh at Warney’s jokes and like to run round cones in training.

Caerphilly Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Some promising moments, could see the pressing almost working on a couple of occasions, Ward and Wilson offer a threat down the right we simply didn’t have last season, Forsyth showed he can still play lwb to a point (perhaps another cb signing makes more sense with Elder regaining fitness and Fozzy able to cover). However a couple of big defensive lapses cost us today. This has confirmed what we all knew in that we’re a couple of bodies short and potentially need more pace in midfield. Barkhuizen and Sibley to come back in will help with the forward options as well. Clearly still work to be done but I’m still optimistic about the season overall. 🐏 LincsRam, Gisby, GB SPORTS and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Disappointing, but very early days. We need a couple of strikers and a midfielder with some legs. On to the next one 😊 Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparxTheRam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I actually thought we played pretty well overall, we were much the better side, two mistakes cost us, they created very little and yes I think we all know we need more up front and a bit of creativity but overall we were on the front foot, not seen anyone cross a ball like Ward for many a season!!!

InstaRam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Gutted not to get anything out of this game. Think we did some things really good but switched off which did cost us in the end. One thing stood out, crosses...we really must practice crosses. Abysmal deliveries from proffesional footballers! It's not even hard to get it past the first defender most of the times. Can't understand how 7/10 crosses are terrible. (Ward might be able to teach the others?) Edited August 5, 2023 by InstaRam Ward is a good crosser off course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, it was a sharp and somewhat witty comment. Possibly played a bit too early but there's always the chance that the good people will be the ones holding a trophy come the end of the season, and then it's too late to use it.

They’ve not had the best games today but I wouldn’t describe Nelson and Bradley as nice blokes. Nelson clattered a couple of their players including the keeper from set pieces and Bradley shoved one of their players who was attempting to time waste sending the lad flying across the turf.

Boycie Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Ladies and gentlemen, do not blame Warne. Do not blame Collins Do not blame Cashin or Bradley. We have a scapegoat… @i-Ramwas at the match today and the last game he saw us win was the Charity Shield in 1975. Proper Johna, watch him deny it. hintonsboots, SaffyRam, Mimester and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorsHouse Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) A game decided by two gifts… Lots of pressure and half chances created by us. Warne looks to be getting what he wanted in terms of more quality crosses but we didn’t win enough first or second balls from them. Whether that was down to us or the fact that Wigan were resolute and crowded their box. It’s a bit of a reality check but I’d rather have it now than later in the season. Oh… Didzy on the score sheet for Notts County but not the fairy tale return he might have wished for Edited August 5, 2023 by HectorsHouse Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer schoolboy errors to describe two abysmal pieces of defending. Wigan looked decent in possession though, reminded me of the football we played under Wazza.

Millenniumram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Team without a goal scorer can’t score goals. Who’d have thought? To be fair, we’re just being fair to team like Wigan. Giving ourselves a points deduction until we sort our recruitment out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to play how Warne wants isn’t to have a 30 odd year old not having the legs to drive at the defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
