BradKnowles1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 3 minutes ago, BP1960 said: Hogan at left back was worse and Raglan and McGahey much worse than Sutton would be in their positions. A proper right back with Kitching left back alongside Hobson and Sutton would be the answer. Them three weren’t at fault for the goals. Sutton. Misjudging a bounce, the basics. Second not being switched on and allowing his man to run and get his header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Amazes me why Conlon didn't start as MM alluded he was great in training scoring lots of terrific goals. Even more amazing was when he came on he played in front of the back four. Not likely to score many terrific goals from there is he? Also why not start Fondop who would have been ideal up front instead of 2 lightweights? Edited January 13 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be better letting the weather take its toll and give MM more time to play 3 or 4 more new signings against them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably saving him for BoringWood but doesn't have a weather app on his phone so doesn't know it's going to be a bit cold and it might be off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any poor performance results in a meltdown, but I don't think players are aware of that, particularly ours.

Worcester Owl Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 49 minutes ago, BP1960 said: You can't blame Sutton having to play right back when he's a better centre back than the rest and will play in a higher division than Oldham in the future. PS you forgot Raglan who never won anything and played at a snails pace and Hogan who was placed in exactly the same dilemma as Sutton by the manager. Doubt if Nornan will play another game either. Add Tollit, Shelton and Nuttall and we are really in a bad way Perspective, BP. We are 6th in the league and have a great owner. Last season we were bottom half and had the owners from hell.

Last season we were bottom half and had the owners from hell. But we know home performances have been poor with a back 6 even 7 at times sitting back lacking any initiative to have a go at the opposition, today being a great example. Walker is a good start to change that, but many more runners are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Tarkowski do it many times when here or don't you remember how often he was caught out of position and turned? Sutton is still young and I maintain he will eventually play a lot higher than us at centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Shame we couldn't hang on a bit longer with Chesterfield losing a golden opportunity gone. Shows to Mellon what a weak squad he has but even so should be good enough for the playoffs if only they could do the same at home.

May this has jolted MM into bringing in new players asap knowing now some of these will never be selected again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
