We know Beck is a disaster. Bench him.

Make your mind up. You were undermining his pedigree the other day.

Rene is good at playing both ends against the middle, I believe he doesn’t know what he’s on about half the time but it does take up plenty of forum space. Bit like Trump he likes the sound of his own voice whilst talking gibberish most of the time.

It was a moderate to poor attempt at humour. I am too old to understand your post so I thought I’d get you back. Sorry.

Not sure xG (expected goals) is age specific? It was tongue in cheek football jargon.

Not an expression I’ve heard so thanks for the explanation. Mind you there’s loads of words, abreviations and phrases about these days that I don’t understand.

We have to give him the chance to prove what he can do.
Beck has had plenty of chances and delivered once.
Let’s see how Wreh goes – but give him starts, not just 20 / 30 minute spurts from the bench.

He hasn’t played for a few weeks so can’t be match fit. Sub (hopefully Supersub) is all he can expect for a few weeks unless the mighty Beck gets injured.

I’m guessing you don’t play fantasy football Cass? xG is a major factor in decision making when deciding on which forwards to pick. I’m pretty sure wondergoals is au fait with the term. There’s a fair few other terms that ‘experts’ use aswell. The flip side is player ‘eye test’ which is fairly self explanatory and more hunch driven. Not sure where Mr Beck ranks on either judgements. Though I’d suspect not highly.

Racing Green though. Damn fine colour. One of the best.

[Rene Artois]

Alternatively, start him until he gasses up, then bring someone else on?

A very astute observation Cass ..

[Rene Artois]

If he played 90 minutes of every remaining game, I’d wager (at the bookies) that he doesn’t bag a total of four goals before the regular league season finishes.
I can’t see him exceeding two league goals on completion of the 46 league games.
Nowt against him… he just can’t do it.

[BigLeftToe]

A near 1 in 2 strike rate for Darlo at this level suggests he can. We’re just not using him right. How many crosses did we whip in for him on the weekend? I saw maybe 2 that he actually had a chance of attacking.

We put more crosses in during the last 15 minutes than we did in the previous 75 minutes. Trouble was Beck was off the field by then.

[cassidystash]

The best chance of getting crosses in for Beck would be to play Roberts on the left. The trouble is that he’s too good cutting in from the right and scoring to change that. I’ve not seen enough evidence to convince me we have anybody else to deliver consistent, quality crosses.

[Deereyme66]

Nice performance from Wreh tonight. Held the ball up well and some classy moves and passes. Impressive. Pleasing on the eye. Great vision and control.

He got the most from Beck and moving Roberts improved the whole team ,much more of an attacking force .Hopefully we’ve seen the last of this cutting in all the time nonsense

Thought him and Beck worked well together tonight the amount of headers they both won impressive.
Clunan was outstanding as was Beestin unlucky not to get an hatrick.

Only poorish performance was Roberts imo, nice for others to stepped up when he’s slightly off.

Good performance tonight, would be very disappointed if I were a darlo fan they didn’t turn up in the slightest for all 266 of them.

Praise for Butler good starting 11 and took a tiring Wreh off at the right time and then Beck when not needed anymore.

Feel a lot happier tonight I believe we’ve got enough to cope without Whitehall till he returns, and I didn’t think I’d be saying that let’s hope they have.

I thought Darlo did turn up but just couldn’t find a way through us and essentially couldn’t create a great deal in the final third despite some decent enough build up.

Good performance against a decent footballing team, defence was solid, Alfie outstanding, Wreh looked decent and Beck had another decent performance including a good defensive header in the first half, downside today was Ross Fitzsimmons ball distribution, which was way under his usual exceptional standard, Evans exceptional in the defense

Too early to truly say as it was only one game, but this morning I’m thinking “Is Wreh the key that finally unlocks us as an all-round force?”

I thought he was exceptional in the first half against a fairly decent Darlington. Movement, speed and beef. Just what the doctor ordered.
I also think he helped Beck ,he clearly improved with the room provided,the formation too was a very visible 4-4-2 when we formed up defensively.

Yeah, terrible tactic allowing Roberts all those goals.

Nobody’s complaining about the goals, just the fact that Roberts in that position limits other things.

[Deereyme66]

What things does it limit?

Wren when he reaches full match fitness could be a real asset for us. A good all round team performance and really impeccable pointing from Clunan all game.

[Deereyme66]

So you’re saying Roberts habit of frequently cutting inside, like Beestin was doing last night incidentally, limits decent crosses? If there was more threat and goal scoring opportunities from crossing instead of cutting in at any one time, he might be doing it more. The other flank is available too. Seems a bit of a picky argument but we all read the game differently.

You’re the one being picky.

We’ve got 12-feet tall Beck in the side and haven’t been banging in crosses to him, preferring instead to stick with a system in which Roberts is played in a position where he’s likely to cut in and try and shoot rather than cross. Very few coming from the other side, either.

[Deereyme66]

Exactly. Very few coming in from the other side either, so I don’t see why Roberts is some kind of fall guy. Neither goals last night came from crosses in to Beck, and none of the other decent chances came from crosses from the flanks either. More of an attacking force due to Wreh’s inclusion and performance rather than less cutting in from Roberts IMO. Anyhow, just my opinion, don’t take ‘picky’ personally. ‘Picky argument’ is just an observation

We have relied on Roberts doing this, imho, sometimes to the detriment of the ‘other things’ I mentioned. Last night he was in a position where he did it much less, and consequently we attacked in a ‘different’ way. Some crosses went in. I still think there’s scope for even more.
