I agree with Mike and Tom – this was a very good FG side. We aren’t equipped to deal with such ability and organisation in Division 4.
I’m rather hoping that we take plenty of points off the other weaker sides.
Is it a coincidence that almost every team we play look like top 3 material. Where have you spotted these other weaker sides les. Crawley were probably the worst team we’ve played so far, are there any weaker than them? Hard to see where our next win (or point) is coming from.
FB is a certainly a problem les, Charlie Wilson has Spence at RB in his ST article. So how about:-
Watson
Onariase Cordner Bedeau
Gillead Beestin Spence Eisa
McAtee Loft Taylor
Gillead & Eisa as wingers not WBs BTW so everybody ‘in position’ and Loft gets support.
Three things:-
1. He didn’t learn last time
2. The club supported him through a serious, long-term injury.
3. He has done precious little to repay that support. Minimal interest when picked to play in the months before the incident (and since) and reportedly requested a transfer in January.
Has he earned further support – you decide.
Put out the Man.City “shirkers”, give them another chance to show they want to play for us and see if they’re capable of learning a lesson. If not, then at least Cox will have learned something.
So why try and hide it knowing it would surface eventually, surely better to come clean immediately. Any club investigation would have been concluded before football resumed, you would think, and then he’s only got the trial to worry about.
In L2 he’s a 10/10 for ability but effort only about 25%. Much rather have a 5/10 giving 100%.
See lesgeo’s post (somewhere) about wasted talent, such a shame.
Sadly we’ve gone the quantity rather than quality route on our squad and ended up with an unbalanced selection. Loads of wingers & strikers and short at FB & CM. As I’ve said before we are carrying a number of players who have little chance of making the matchday squad let alone the starting XI and virtually no hope of moving any out so too many toys for Cox to fit in to his toy box.
It would appear that Cox can only find room for 1 out and out forward and 2 vaguely attack minded players in his outfield 10. 7 permanently defending with the other 2 helping when we don’t have the ball. Virtually all our shots yesterday were from distance, the only option when all the other players are behind the man with the ball. Unauthorised attacking is punished by being played deeper or not played at all. We have players here capable of terrorising most L2 defences if they’re allowed to, set out to score goals and let the opposition do the worrying.
Our ‘best’ players in no particular order:-
1. Not interested
2. Injured.
3. Playing out of position.
4. On the bench.
5. In the stand
6. Looked like he could be among the best so moved out of position to become ineffective.
Some good management needed.
Deluded!!
“I’m disappointed with the result but the performance was a good one”
“We settled in and passed the ball well” and then ” We kept giving it away.”
Also:-
” We must have had ten or eleven shots – but not many were on target, or six-yard entries which disappointed me.”
” The way we keep the ball is what we’re working on”
I’m not a manager Neil but I know which of the above I’d be working on. No good keeping the ball if you’re not using it to score.

“Olomola is about 3 weeks away as he’s not match fit”
Do you really think he’ll get a game, doubtful he’ll make the match day squad IMO. Cox might want a quick look but that’s all it will be I reckon, has to be behind Loft, McAtee, KVV, Turan and probably Hallam, Green & Jarvis as well.
Thanks MKI, should have said last two, I meant Yates and forgot Gabriel.
I also have a problem. I got as many points from the postponed game as I did, in total, from the four completed matches.
Should I switch to the 2-1 method do you think?
I reckon Colclough will be on a good wedge, probably beyond most of L1 & L2. That aside, have you seen anything in the last 18 months that you think would encourage anybody to buy him?
Hard to see how Dales, Olomola, Mooney, Jarvis, Pugh and maybe more are going to get anywhere near the matchday squad if we don’t have a massive injury crisis. Is Cox keeping Eisa and McAtee out of the picture until the transfer window closes?
Don’t think there have been any/many complaints about the 3 points, they were badly needed. The complaints about the type of football I can understand, we were promised attacking football and, as this is the latest in a list of unfulfilled promises, then fans are bound to express concern. Similarly regarding selection, it’s not ‘favourite’ players not being selected but BEST players that fans are missing, (and best players out of position when they are picked) Whether you support the complaints or not it’s all perfectly understandable IMO, you must know that Bru posters know best! Our ideals will take time, we have to be patient.
