  • I know the goal came from doing it but feel we play too much long ball with Stockley in the team

    Another cross from their 9 that misses everyone and goes out for a goal kick.

    We have no press. They do.

    2 poor sides but they are exploiting our weakness.

    Everywhere by the look of it... Constant running, not really doing anything of use.


    Matthews injured?

    I'm still trying to work out where most are playing!

    Good pressure from Gilbey forces them back to their keeper.

    This is gonna be a long afternoon if we keep letting them pass forward so easily. Only a matter of time at the moment.

    Game passing him by, isn’t it?

    Not sure how we are winning here!

    Matthews down clutching his head.

    Gilbey has been poor
    Too direct
    No pace in the middle
    We're winning but it isn't pretty

    22 mins gone. We’re doing ok. Bogle seems to be a different player. Gilbey isn’t ... he’s hardly touched the ball. 
  • Was that sort of wack in the face the same reason Aneke got sent off? - I know it got rescinded but Blackpool still got the FK
  • The defence is so much stronger with Purrington. The problem is Matthews great going forward but we always let goals in down his side when he plays , he rarely stops crosses coming in from his side

    Matthews is much more assured today than he has been.

    Gilbey is the one in this team capable of playing round corners and quickly transitioning the ball forward during counter attacks but he needs to impose himself on the game more. Always feels like he’s playing with a bit of lag. Really need him to get on the ball and use the pace of Maatsen and DJ to stretch them

    A clear 4 5 1 when out of possession and 433 when going forward
    lots of running by DJ and Maatsen

    Matthews plays the ball forward, and the keeper has to come sideways out of his area to clear for a throw which Matthews will take long.

  • Can't for the life of me see how Gilbey is a better option than Shinnie or Morgan. Although i know he's been out for ages, so i'd be surprised if he's still on the pitch after 60 minutes.

    Maatsen looks a different player to the one who looked like his confidence was shot to pieces

    How was that a foul from Jaiyesimi on the edge of the area?

    Poor touch but just looked stronger

    Throw cleared after a bit of head tennis and Matthews cross is easily collected by the keeper.

    Stockley is decent with the ball at his feet, we should use that more 
  • Don’t rate Gilbey at all - not sure what he does on the team - Shinnie or Morgan much better in that role

    Since that pass to Doughty at Crewe, Gilbey hasn’t played a pass forwards

    Nice bit of pressure from us here, but Stockley gets done for offside after Purrington's cross.
