For our goal we got bodies in the box and one of them was Fraser. After it we didn't. We talk about poor delivery but sometimes a cross looks poor because the pressure isn't there with numbers in the box. Put a couple of defenders on our lone striker and they aint winning it even if the cross is decent.
We saw with Liverpool v Everton and indeed Dortmund v Chelsea tonight that numbers in the box can catch you out but with all due respect to FGR, if we are going to not try hard for a second against them we are our own worst enemies.1 -
That's almost exactly my point. Now of course Fraser might (probably) score more goals and get more assists with better players round him but I do believe that if we had much better other players he would be the one people would question his value.Leuth said:Fraser has been an absolute standout almost all season. One bad game (and I'll admit it was a bad game for him) and people are back to talking absolute crap about him again I see. Him and Dobson have worked brilliantly as a two and at times in a three. A team built around those two could absolutely challenge at the top with the other parts upgraded
Should he be one of the the first names on our team sheet? Absolutely.
Does that say more about how good he is or how good we are? That's the question.2 -
Albie has had plenty of chances and nearly everyone has come to understand he isn't a top level L1 player.killerandflash said:If I was Albie I'd be quite pissed off to not even get on as sub in our last two games, considering how ineffective Fraser and Kilkenny have been
How can we assess Kilkenny unless we play him?0 -
No chance, Fraser as said above is an average or slightly better than average L1 player. He would not have featured in Powell or Bowyer's promotion teams.Leuth said:Fraser has been an absolute standout almost all season.

He may have made the squads.3 -
I wasn't saying he should start, but not to even come off the bench when we are allowed 5 subs and the midfield isn't playing well is odd.Covered End said:

Fraser for example contributed very little in the second half, and doesn't have the best engine. Fresh legs for 20 minutes would surely have improved things.2 -
Our crossing been like that for years .. set plays etc etc bloody awfulHartleypete said:Couple of things from recent games,
1) our crossing is by and large atrocious
2) we allow other teams to cross far to easily
Sort it out Deano.2 -
Very impressed with Robbie Savage son he made a massive difference to FGR when he came in and his direct running from mid really gave us few issues … on loan from Man Utd one to keep an eye on3

It will be interesting how we play against Derby. I doubt if we went one up they would play numbers behind the ball. I am not confident we can keep them out but I think there will be space behind them which might suit us more. Actually it will definitely suit us more.0

Lovely part of the country, absolutely gorgeous.
As for FGR, I wish them well, but it's a small non league club, stuck on top of a hill, that would take @ 30 mins to reach from Nailsworth. We got the 7pm bus up the hill and they had 1 fan at the bus stop, although a few more arrived just before the bus pulled up.1 - Sponsored links:

FGR have done a great job to be playing in league one. They seem to me to be a very well run club and unlike us are punching well above their weight.3

3 points was positive and for 20 minutes we looked like we would score Goals IF we had a serious Striker ?
and we all know that Grinding out a result or winning Ugly is all part of a potentially good team’s continued improvement.
BUT if we play like we did on Tuesday against Derby & Sheffield Wednesday I feel we will be stuffed 👎👎👎0 -

With any luck they'll see that Bonne started it and they'll ban him until the end of the season.shirty5 said:2 -
