If we have to do this 5 at the back sh1t then why not drop the right back that had his best ever game last time out and play an out of position winger there instead.
If Boris was a football manager then this would be the kind of clear thinking he would come out with.
Wish it was a reserve fixture Ferrite. It wouldn’t be live streamed and I wouldn’t be able to waste another 2 hours of my life watching in the vain hope of something good happening.
Pretty much agree with your thinking Heath apart from the front 2.
Both KVV & McAtee need a hard working front man to do the donkey work and keep the centre backs busy. Neither of them have the work ethic or the temperament to do that job. We need Loft, Jarvis or Turan to do that job and create space for them. If they get 10 goals or so as well that would be a bonus.
I do like McAtee as a prospect but he has done eff all yet to be having the big time attitude. Once KVV is fit McAtee is on the bench for me.
Shame Howard made the howler but first game since JaJanuary and only 2 training sessions something like that was always a possibility. He does look like a proper goalkeeper though.
Onariase is now number 1 centre back. Cox please pick 1 other to play with him (note 1 other not 2). Probably McGahey for me once he is fit. Roe did enough to suggest a run at right back is in order. O’Malley did fine but Brown wI’ll be in once fit.
Beeston and Taylor better than Spence and Vincent on that showing. Green did OK but Gillead is better with and without the ball. I don’t get Hippolyte. Does very lititle with the ball and even lessay without it. Eisa for me and would rather have Dale’s if Abo not available.
Jarvis works harder than Loft so would perservere with him for now but needs a goal or two soon. McAtee can hang on to the No 10 position until KVV is fit then he is on the bench.
Not sure why the man crush on Olomola WG. We have had a few professional managers and coaches none of whom have rated him.They could all be wrong and you right of course.
Personally only seen him play for us twice and he was shite.
Hopefully he has gone without a payoff.
On a personal level it would be great if he can work through his issues and realise his undoubted talent somewhere else.
On a professional level he has to rank as one of our all time top wage theives.
They also work extremely hard constantly pressing and turning the ball over in the final third. Ours not so much apart from Gillead when he is allowed to play there.
Maybe why Cox doesn’t fancy Eisa, Colclough and McAtee.
After watching that I am praying that Rowe and O’Malley mature very quickly and that Spence and Vincent can both have an injury free season. Could be a long hard winter otherwise.
The centre midfield and full back positions are lacking in cover to say the least. Also agree with BLT, if you thought Watson was a bit shaky……
Could someone break into Sinking Sands and steal the Wilcoxball playbook.
Great work rate from all the players but Cox needs to be picking up Watsons bar bill tonight.
After an hour with Hallam blowing out of his arse in his first game in 18 months he brings on Beeston and puts him in front of the centre backs. DI’d anyone spot the look on Spence’s face when Beeston told him to move forward. Confused, ou will be. Then he brings on another centre back and then brings on an out of favour left back in on to the right.
What the fick has Eisa done to upset him? Why was McAtee not on the bench?
Surely he is fit enough for 20 minutes of holding the ball up.
Still 3 points in the bag so what do I know.
Ggreat to see Rory deliver a MOM performance but was pushed close by Gillead.
As we don’t have a vaccine I would be interested to know what level of UK Covid related deaths you think is acceptable for you to gain your herd immunity?
We are going to have to get used to young players with little League experience having some poor games. This will inevitably mean we are likely to lose a number of games against poor sides like we did yesterday. In as much as you can tell watching on iFollow we played most of the football on show and deserved at least a point at Crawley but that wIll happen. The only thing Crawley had that we didn’t was a bit of experience and nous. It will come but is going to take a while.
I would prefer Cox to decide on a simple formation that involves playing people in their best positions certainly until the team gel and gain some experience as a group.
