Simpo Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Just a side thought, we bear the hallmarks of a side that could go on a cup run.. 4th qualifying round draw will be this Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Pre season probably mattered 40 years ago when they were all eating fry ups and pies and chugging 10 pints a day, these days there's no way the bit of extra fitness work you did in June makes any difference come November let alone the second half of the season. Fondop is one of the first names at the team sheet at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought he has come across as a prick! This cements my opinion of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceskylatic Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Really enjoyable game to watch. It had that top of the table feel to it, played at an intense level. FGR are the best footballing side I’ve seen for a while, though that doesn’t guarantee you the points. Loved the high press from ours, especially first half, giving them no time to settle, and again when Khan and Garner came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmb Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I think FGR will win the league with their squad which makes the result more impressive. The real test is on Saturday against bottom of the league which we have a habit of losing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is OK saying this when we are winning by comfortable margins-but 1-0 wins mean patience is a commodity we don't have. To continue this talk about fitness. How about a shout out for the improvement in Fondops fitness? Many times last year there were comments about him blowing early in games-not this season and he is certainly putting in the miles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradKnowles1 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 4 hours ago, GlossopLatic said: Dolan looks "tidy" but we need him to be abit more than that we need him to be a magic man who creates and scores fairly regularly if hes going to play the number 10 role in the team. You could say that some of the others aren't magic men either but the likes of Charsley and Hammond give us abit more off the ball interms of runs and pressing. I said yesterday he gets himself into some great positions but when he goes to shoot he leans far back causing his shots to fly over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're not flying over by a foot, more like twenty yards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) 4 hours ago, daniel said: I’m not totally disagreeing with you, but football and life in general can be unfair. Rightly or wrongly you’re not having Fondop in ahead of a fit James Norwood, that is my opinion, but I also think it would be MM’s opinion too. Lets not forget Fondop has it in him to be as awful as anybody. He is very hit and miss. Think we're often coloured by how wholesome and heart warming Fondop is. It's a bit like the Ernie Cooksey situation in that he's a player who gives his all, runs through brick walls, wins hearts and minds which counterbalances his lack of positional awareness, composure when given time / space and discipline. To be fair, Fondop is improving on some of these elements of his game. He's clearly taken on board what the management are giving him. But I tend to agree a little with you in that I don't think MM will use him to spearhead our attack once we bring a new striker in (possibly Stones) to partner Norwood.

He could be in line for the best season of his career which would be brilliant for us and a credit to him and the coaching staff. Plus, you might also say he's had the benefit of a full and rigorous pre season! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
