We scouted him for a while and he is who our recruitment team thought to be a missing piece of the puzzle. He’s lacked goals, assists & bite in the middle. I’m just as disappointed in our recruitment team as I am in some of these signings. But then they often leave and do well elsewhere, so I’m also disappointed in our coaching team!!

LightDN123 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 What do we do when any of the 4 midfield players could come off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyp65 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Caprice needs to be pulled , he's not tracking back and their left winger is having the freedom of the park , Ogle had covered him several times and is head and shoulders above anything on the pitch . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Luckily these are absolutely crap and we could still win it if we improve just by 10%! Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Worst performance of the season so far, and Mellon should take a lot of the blame for it. I don't mind this formation and I've seen teams use it to good effect, playing stylish football regardless of level or budget. But Mellon's using it to make us increasingly more defensive which is a worry. Back 5 and Hudson are doing fine, although with this personell it's definitely a back 5 which is unnecessary. Fondop has a thankless task and is isolated tonight. The box midfield has been very poor and that should be our decisive area, but they are never in the right place. Dolan and Gardner (who absolutely should not be playing that role) are never close enough to Fondop, while Conlan and Lundstram are being passed through way too easily. Really worrying to see that first half performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careca9 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 It’s so frustrating. We look distinctly average and this side as it is isn’t going anywhere. We look short especially in midfield. Just amazes me that York with full rebuild right up there, Rochdale had serious problems and dire period last year but and right up there. It’s so possible to do that over one window in what is a poor league yet we somehow can’t. I’ve seen enough now this season and I can’t say we’ve moved on that much from second half of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 No overlaps by anyone. Midfielders who play the ball wide and just watch what happens rather than looking for the return. Lots of long balls up to Fondop which was the usual fall back option last season when we ran out of confidence after 10 minutes. Was about to type that they need a rocket and the leaders on the pitch need to get hold of this, but now we’re ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKing521 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Why does it take 45 minutes for us to start playing. Halifax are rubbish and we should already be in firm control if we have any promotion aspirations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
