Going for two correct scores on the trot: 2-0. 4,100

And Carltons Beestin and Roberts misses. If Whitehall took all his chances he’d get 100 goals a season and be playing in the premiership 3 goals in 4 games is top notch.
Can everyone else please stand up.1 user thanked author for this post.
Really poor performance again, one of the worst I’ve seen at GP in a while and I’m disliking the 3-5-2 (aka 5-3-2) more and more each game. We are offering very little attacking threat, as expected with playing fullbacks as wingbacks and we were lucky to get a point. Our points tally probably masks just how crap we’ve been the last 3. Subs were completely wrong and maybe having 5 subs isn’t as much of an advantage as first thought, as the changes seemed to disrupt what little rhythm we had. But don’t worry Deerey should be along soon to tell us how brilliant we were and that ‘Butlerball’ is the greatest football he’s ever seen. UTI!
The negatives –
After Whitehall went off the ball started coming back towards our goal with more regularity, our hold up play became none existent, he may frustrate but that is one of Whitehall’s strengths holding up and bringing the supporting players into play. If taking off Whitehall was to get Ubaezuonu on, they are two different types of player.
Just because we have 5 substitutes available doesn’t mean we have to make all five. I know it is all about ‘player load according to the GPS’ and we have two games in 72 hours but did we really need all 5 today? The squad has been slimed down so the players know that they will be getting game time so keeping them happy shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Which player expects to be playing all 46 games in this modern age? If we do need to make 5 substitutions, do they need to be made in 5 different occasions surely they can be done in 2 or 3 times (baring injuries).
The 3-5-2 formation promises so much but we are slowly turning it into a 5-3-1-1, inviting teams to attack in the last period of the game. The wing backs need to be encouraged to be available for the full 90 and attack teams using the fact that we are one of the fittest full time teams in the division. If the wing backs are encouraged to bob on and put the balls in the box regularly the we will win more than we lose.
The positives –
We are after 4 games top of the league, have 10 points, have conceded one goal in 360 minutes and scored, the majority of us would have taken that before the season started. Irrespective of who we have played (and we can only play who is in front of us), would we have got 10 points this time last season?
We do look fitter and sharper but I don’t think we have got out of second gear and are still finding our way. When we do hit top gear we will be a force to be reckoned with.
It will be interesting to see where we are before we break for the qualifying round of the cup but if we have mirrored the first 4 games with the next 4 then we’ll be on track.

Can’t understand why I’ve bugged you so much 414. It’s almost like you’re waiting for failure.

Here’s the clips our highlights won’t show….
Kouogan handball in the box, their coach yelling “it’s not a free kick” to their lad as Clunan measures up his dropped ball, and Kouogan leaving their player free to score.1 user thanked author for this post.
A performance in the Jimmy Dean style. Are we certain he’s gone?

In my opinion the only sub we needed to make was Boyce because of injury. The others could have been saved to maybe start against South Shields and freshen the team up. With our squad surely a bit of rotation would not harm us.

One big positive from yesterday was the performance and wow that tackle from Brad mom by a mile.
