We're beginning to see a solid outfit who are tough to beat and are hopefully to find ways to win consistently. It's not about how you play at this level, it's just about getting results.

Lee Sinnott Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 A difficult watch. As mentioned earlier in the thread, Norwood could do with watching the effort and application from a man with about 1/16th of his ability... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s obviously a much better footballer than Mike, but my god, the difference in who is getting the most out of their given ability is miles apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt he was once better than this level but I think the jury is quite reasonably out on whether he still is. Whether that's mental or physical is irrelevant.

josh_latics Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 They were shite. Should have comfortably won that - Norwood's chance from the corner and Fondop's header into the ground were big chances. Midfield is a real problem. Most of them treat the football like a bomb that's about to explode, and Conlon's refusal to pass forwards is a real issue. No idea what he was doing with the free-kick in the 95th. Good job Ogle can throw it far, it's about 90% of the way we make chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Take that all day long. They were shit and came for a 0-0. We looked a bit clueless at times as to how to break them down, but I can't remember them having a shot. In the end, we had enough chances again to win 3-0 on another day.

Dickie Down Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I would credit the manager today. His changes early in the second half worked and we dominated possession far more. Dolan was very influential. In the end we delivered a ball of sufficient quality and finished well. Yeovil can't have too many complaints of they don't muster a worthwhile shot all game, though I'm not sure what happened at the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood has been largely ineffective for some time, he needs to improve and he knows it and I think a lot of the moaning and whinging is he is angry with himself . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest, I don't think that's right. He can finish one on ones better than Fondop and takes a decent penalty, but it's Fondop for me in all other aspects. I haven't followed players from other teams since the 90s, so knew nothing about Norwood before he signed for us. Everyone seemed excited and some superficial research suggested he was a bit of coup, but I can only really judge him on what I've seen playing for us. He's had fleeting moments of superiority but largely seems to treat the league he's playing in and his teammates with complete contempt, which I find pretty insulting. .No one's bigger than the club, especially this chap. Rolling your eyes because other players haven't read his runs is no good to us - make runs they can read or go and do it at a higher level. If they're that good, he shouldn't have any trouble finding a club to take him on. Anyway, tonight's definitely not about Norwood - it's about the 3 points and Big Mike. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Result is everything really, I stand by what I said at half time in that we were largely poor and Fondop (as well as Norwood) were ineffective. Still a work in progress, there's few goals in Hammond and Lundstrum, Dolan made more forward passes after 5 minutes on the pitch than Conlon did in an hour, Conlan sitting on the defenders toes far too deep is becoming a real poor feature of his game, there's a real reluctance for him to run and join in with our attacks. At times our best attacking players were too centrehalfs Monthe and Ogle who did their best to keep them out as well as show the urgency to push us on. I think Dolan provides that spark and bit of quality we miss, he'll be a player with minutes under his belt. It was a poor performance for me but a much needed home win, wouldn't be writing Norwood off just yet and not getting too giddy over a win against a team who were fucking awful, not sure they tested Hudson all afternoon and all they did was fucking moan, I know the ref was garbage but at least he was consistent for both teams, gave some very strange decisions. Big test Tuesday which I think we can win if we are just that bit braver, hopefully we won't play for a point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpotTheBall85 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Was a poor game today but 3 points is 3 points and will take that all day long. On the subject of Norwood I fail to see what he's bringing to the team. He's been woeful since the start of the year, only half decent performance was against chesterfield. Granted he's been injured start of this season but I expect a lot more for a player who is allegedly a cut above everyone at this level and our highest paid player. Very frustrating to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Thought we were never losing that we dominated the ball but made wrong decisions at vital moments. Lundstram burst forward a few times made wrong decisions. Norwood and Fondop did not click. However, we got the win which was important. Reckon it was a stonewall penalty at the end but he missed the one on Kitching in the first half. good win Monthe absolute fantastic along with Ogle who is either scoring or assisting most games. big game Tuesday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 It's all been said. It was a laboured performance apart from a 5 minute spell around the goal. Still, we manged a 1 nil win, the type that's alluded us in recent times. Tuesday's match now becomes a good benchmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
