Let's finish off January with a couple of wins and we'll be in a great position. Exactly. Can’t expect to win every game so 10 wins in 13 is a pretty good return. We just need to make sure it doesn’t turn into something like 12 wins out of 18. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashin is a great tackler and hits a super diagonal , but his lack of pace has been evident since he broke into the team . He needs a quick defender along side him . He could end up playing defensive midfield . Remember the Championship is even faster. David Graham Brown and DiggerB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I posted this on another thread, but it's worth another look. I don't think I've ever seen a pair of CBs play deeper. So if anyone was wondering why we didn't play balls over the top, here's your answer:- jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Morning reflections, a decent game if you’re a neutral, but we’re not 😊. They were very organised, change in manager is probably starting to bear fruit for them. They were very dangerous on the counter and, arguably, could have won. But so could we. Most disappointing thing was we didn’t take 1 decent corner. They must have been our worst in a game this season given how many we had. Elder’s had a bit of stick recently but I thought he did OK. A gradual improvement and I don’t think a stop-start season has helped him. He looks like one of those players that needs 6-8 games to get going. We won’t win every game and an away point is always a good point. Tho could be vital come May.

How can it be a good idea to all take the same space? They stand together like cattle. They are in each other’s way. Let’s at least try one running to the near post and one at the back post. There’s also the opportunity to play the ball to the edge of the box where at least we might get a shot in. All looks too predictable and defendable.

It works at times, Collins running to the near post for that one he scored at Fleetwood, Nelson has benefitted a couple of times, but I’d like to see some variety, there’s seemingly never anyone between the 18 and 6 yard lines. We leave a Hourihane or Sibley outside the box for the potential long range effort then crowd everyone else into the 6 yard box each time, we’ve been fairly successful with it this season and I think we’d have even more success with some variety on our corner routine.

I watch quite a bit of football on TV, It was only earlier in the season that I found out that some/all EPL clubs employ a free kick/corner coach, I thought fcuking hell where are we going with the game, A coach for this a coach for that a coach for away games 😁 then the penny dropped, Arsenal Vs Palace on MOTD, 3 goals Arsenal scored from corners, 2 from Arsenals corners and 1 from a Palace corner. Players it looks like need to be coached on how to take a corner, Mix it up, Change your positions, Confuse the defenders and not your own players. Have we a specialist coach in this field?

I can’t imagine a recruiting team at a PL club recommending they sign a player who gets skinned like that in Div1.

Taylor is rapid but no more than most PL strikers Its not like he was particularly tricky either, he just ran past him. It's not something I'd imagine you can develop that much either through practice. Love Cashin, so strong, so much heart, good passer, great in the air. But again a lot of that is endeavour rather than natural ability. Didn't look much different to Jake Buxton yesterday. Premier League looks a world away with display like that. Not that I'm overly bothered, I'd prefer him to stay. Edited January 21 by Chester40 jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't get into the situation where you're in a sprint against a speedy forward, you block him off legally or illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
