don’t you think Les that clubs are targeting our right back area because they know it is a weak area in our defence, but to be fair to George he isn’t a right back.
That’s exactly what is happening.
They put 2 men on him and overload him as they know he is the weak link.
Not his fault he’s a kid being played out of position but it needs sorting.
I’ll put as much effort into to my scores as they did on the pitch this week.
FG are best team we’ve played this year by a mile but that is saying very little.
Only one with a chance of a top 10 finish.
We are an absolute shambles and we’re going nowhere.
With everyone fit we have a squad of players easily good enough to get out of this league if they can be arsed apart from a reliable keeper.
All we need is some competent leadership.
FG were good but we let them be good by standing off, being weak and passive. First 10 mins we pressured and they made mistakes they really looked like we might be able to make them fall apart. Then we conceded and gave up.
Not going to hold out much hope as he’s learned nothing so far but I hope Cox watched this and realised what can happen when you play a striker who’s bigger and stronger than the cb’s he’s up against and you actually bother to put some crosses into the box.
Taylor did do very well first half but I don’t think that moving him back is a mistake it’s what he was hopefully signed for. We’re good at no 10 with McAtee (when picked) and Hallam we need a creative player deeper in CM playing alongside Spence and Taylor is perfect for that.
The issue was who replaced him and the fact that we never put a single cross into the box despite having 2 6’2”+ strikers and one of their cbs being under 6”
Giving it a miss today, no right back, no Colclough, McAtee, Hallam in squad, Eisa on bench so boring Wilcox style boring sit back tactics I expect so can’t warrant £10 today, getting disillusioned with Neil after being promised exciting attacking 4 4 2 football.
Anyone help on the streaming service today. Tearing my hair out even when putting my full details in. EXACT procedure needed.
Sure not just me. Club must be losing income!
Or a tel no of a scunthorpe streaming GURU please.
Watson -9- best performance I’ve seen him have. 2 good saves and one great save. Only one dodgy moment which dropped it from a 10 but more of this please.
Hornshaw -5- he isn’t a full back but he’s young and learning and he’s not being preferred over a proper FB we don’t have another option atm. He’s doing his best.
Cordner -7.5-quality again. Dominant but looked to be struggling at the end hopefully not hurt.
Bedeau -6.5- defended well enough but sloppy again a couple of times including a slip which could have been very costly.
O’Malley -7- looks a real decent prospect. Defends well and bravely and not afraid to get forward.
Spence -7.5- oh how we’ve missed a player like this. Just gets in the way and doesn’t let people play.
Vincent -6- decent but unspectacular.
Gillead -8.5- see what happens when you play him in his position Mr Cox. Lesson learned hopefully. Superb pass for the goal.
Hippolyte -5.5- works hard and certainly defends better than Eisa which is presumably why he’s being preferred atm. Not a good performance but mostly decent set piece delivery.
Hallam -8- great to see him back looked like he might link up well with Loft. Actually looked to move past him. Should have finished the game off when Beestin put him through
Loft -7- 6 in the first half 8 in the second. Couple of poor final decisions/balls which is apparently what Lillis is working on so hopefully will improve. Up against 2 big strong cbs on his own and they will certainly know they’ve been in a game.
Onarise -7.5- looks good. Powerful and won everything thrown his way which was a lot more than we should have allowed.
Beestin -6- not sure why he went behind Spence but put himself about and sent a very good ball in for Hallam.
Thought the ref was ok, picky but nothing really incorrect but Beestin unlucky to get booked.
Tactics wise 442/4411 was nice to see first half but quickly reverted to 3 at the back and sitting deep in the 2nd half. Needs to change.
I see you’re on SUFC Twitter today DSGM, pretty rare footage that I reckon.:-)
Living up to his name! 2 goals from inside the 6 yard box.
Much more common to see him missing from that distance.
Remember him missing from less than a yard out once.
