And that right there shows how far we have come. For so long last year he was the first name on the team sheet. Now he's 4th choice wing back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help that Hogan was sent off early in the game, that being said I think we were 2-0 down at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLegend Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Appreciate they have a threat in Haughton but let's not forget a couple of the facts here (without getting too cocky given weve previously struggled to beat them) They finished 18th in the Vanarama and we're at home. We should be letting them worry about us rather than changing our team/system to combat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Branston Pickle Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 To give Kitching a bit of credit he was completely isolated on the left last season, he had basically no cover. Now whoever plays there has Monthe and Conlon to cover them. Shows how much better the team shape is already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to get promoted home games against the likes of Fylde are must win games. With Ragers, Hobbo and Monthe on fire I'm confident of a win. And we owe them one....cocky bastards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deckyd Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Would love a 4-0, 5-0 type scoreline after the results last season but will gladly take a 1-0 win to keep momentum going. They seemed to run at us a lot through the centre of the park from memory, after our first couple of games, this should and will be negated as we are a lot more mobile and seem to be a hell of a lot fitter, with willing runners. Can see Conlon doing a job on Haughton if needs be. Fylde were definitely up for both games last season and will more than likely be the same later, difference tonight i think is that we will match that desire and commitment, get in their faces, pressure them and win the ball back as in the last two games have shown we can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at Fylde next week so following this thread tonight, as well as ours against Boston. Nick Houghton, 5 goals, including a hat trick against Solihull, is the league's form player after only two matches. Fylde also leak goals so should be an interesting game.

deckyd Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Disappointed Conlon misses out, at least it's not injury. Big game for Lundstram, needs to show he can fit into this team and be relied upon. His cameo was okay Sat, hoping he has the confidence to play us forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
