It’s exciting if anything else?
I remember when we were struggling to score, and having 0-0s with a back 5, there were complaints that we were too negative and statements that people would be happy with 4-3 wins because of the entertainment. We get more of that and there are still moans and groans.
Criticism is fair enough for game management, but we still won.

Just because you can it doesn’t mean you should use so many

Took a great save from fitz in final minutes to avoid a disaster though.
Everyone should be happy with the result but why make hard work of it.

AB has said several times in interviews that his substitutes have an influence on the game and don’t weaken the team. He’s wrong.

It’s an easy issue to bring up but it wasn’t too many subs that caused Boyce to f*** up and gift them the first and it was just switching off that let them in for the second, I’m just glad we have won the last two games and we’ve seen 10 goals, great entertainment.

When you take the four key players off two games running and the game turns on its head both times it shows something isn’t right, and it put us under pressure unnecessarily and certainly the balance of the team wasn’t right.

Beck did well and the free kicks he won and his headers certainly helped.

I’m not knocking the players coming on, its the player’s going off the problem

I don’t know if anyone else saw it but it looked like Boycey threw up on the pitch just before the match kicked off, I wonder if he was ill and hence subbed at half time. Blackett certainly couldn’t believe his luck with that header…

In fairness to AB both Whitehall and Beestin had run their nuts off and had good games, Roberts got trod on down the back of his heel first half and may have been feeling that and Clunan looked injured. Boyce was subbed at half time because his head was messed up after his blunder, it did effect his confidence and he was caught in possession twice in the first half after the cock up. Who’d be a football manager, can’t do anything right eh.

It’s a thankless task.

We don’t need 10 Centre mids in the building again. There’s more than a good enough squad there, work with it.

Interesting chat above, particularly for those, like me, who weren’t in attendance but listen to commentary much of the time. Appreciate the different ways we see a game and why I love Bru :)

The subs weren’t the ones who switched off to allow their second. I thought Carlton and Fadera helped us to defend as it meant their defenders had to be on their toes and not push out and camp in in our box. We had numerous decent breaks when a better ball would have set up a decent chance, i think one time Scales had 3 in the middle and didn’t find any, we hit the bar (which if it was Beck his detractor’s would have called it a sitter), Beck won more free kicks than Whitehall (who the ref wasn’t going to give any to). I’d rather watch us keep the pressure on them and be entertained than sit back and invite pressure. Sometimes you have to risk losing to win. We had more opportunities to score a 4th than they did to equalise. I’ll settle for that each week.

Rumours are we’re looking at a 6’2 centre midfielder.
Definitely still the need for a battler in midfield as we look lightweight.
