`I gave Loft the benefit of the doubt elsewhere the other night and said if he had a strike partner right up with him to do the leg work allowing him to stay within the width of the 18 yard box (Torpey/Carruthers style) we might see a better version of him, as with someone playing behind him he’s always having to head it back towards our own goal to someone on our team, instead of flicking it on as nobody there running in begind after any flick.Would allow him to be in the box when crosses come in instead of outwide or anywhere but the box like at Southend if someone doing his running.
Still think this is the case,However he is utter garbage.
Howard 7 needs to come out more
O Malley 7 solid good performance great cross – see what happens when you overlap!
Onoraise 8 Never seems to get less than an 8!
McGahey 8 Solid forming great partnership will Onoraise
Clarke 7 steady match did well
Spence 8 Good performance needed the rest
Beestin 8 as above
Eisa 9 very lively good finish constant threat
Gillead 9 maybe 10 Great game MoM
McAtee 8 game time starting to make a difference
Loft 8 Not as isolated played well
Harrogate were shit but not as shit as the local commentators
Possibly worst commentators I’ve ever heard,after 80 minutes decided to start arguing the first goal never actually went in
Pele’s got it pretty much spot on apart from I’d only give Loft a 6. He put himself about well but gave the ball away loads (again) and definitely should have passed to McAtee for a tap in!
Pull back to Eissa on the edge was the ball to play, although Mcatee should of checked his run for a pass rather than charging in,defender might of got it of he played the ball to him were he ran
Bit harsh on Buteoud, thought he was one of our better players, did nothing wrong,terrible passing?only seen him give it away once when Kvv had a pop at him near the end
Put 2 good crosses in in the first half and a good one in the last minute,just nobody in there as usual . certainly not worthy of a 3
O Malley is terrible, nowhere near ready for first team football, Butroid should be playing at the moment and cover for Brown and try getting O’Malley out on loan, he was dreadful last night
Has to be Eisa and Colclough on wings for me, so what if they don’t offer as much defensively,let the Attacking players attack and the defenders defend.
Least we got a natural left back on now and can go 4 4 2 instead of whatever that formation was ment to be the first half trying to accommodate 3 centre backs
I do recall Burney saying Ivan Toney was no good though,and he’s now set for a 10 million move,so would never trust his player judgement.
But yeah Goode never showed any signs of potential here,his hoofball style suits Northampton though,confirmed by him charging upfield to take every throw.
