Glatzel's penalty wasn't fantastic but would be good enough to score against any keeper not named Etheridge and he was unlucky not to have a second goal tonight too - I told you he had nice link up play with Harris! As for the cameos, think Whyte did well in first half but faded, Harris did a lot of intelligent running and showed good touches outside of the box but probably could have got a goal is he had shown a bit more anticipation.
How do you pick a team for Saturday though? Presumably much the same starting 11 but Ojo, Bennett, Nelson all looking like they need a rest so starts for Evans, Cunningham and Benkovic?
Stick that in your pipe. Wilson - a great goal and two assists but apparently he isn't very good and shouldn't be here. Now go and slope off and hide like you usually do, no doubt waiting for the next defeat, so you can have another go at the team/manager.Quote:

Wilson turned up as I said he would need to.
Pack MOM for just that one pass

Defence needs sorting. Either play extra man at back or replace Nelson and Bennett who both badly need a break.
No one has a better record than us over the latest 6 games. Judging by earlier reactions some people would have been happier with 1 win in 6 if we’d beaten the Jacks
We're a 4-4-2 team. The problem is that we've only got two fit strikers.Quote:

Not sure to what to make of us we look national league level for large periods of some matches but 15 points put of 18 is pretty remarkable really - dumbfounded.
Here just to read the match thread. From suicide to joyo :hehe:
Finish was unreal considering the time and spaceQuote:

I think that's fair. Our experienced players and a bit of flair and dead ball quality from Wilson dragged us through. Ojo was our best player in the shambles against the Jacks but he looked poor today. Bennett and Nelson looked shot. I think Cunningham will come in for Bennett but can't see Benkovic being chucked in the deep end against Norwich. Ralls will be back in a tight 3 with Pack and VaulksQuote:

Nah. It wasnt a terrible penalty. But it wasnt good either. No missed penalty saved or missed is a good one. 12 yards if you dont score youve done something wrong.Quote:

The only thing would be that Etheridge would have faced lots of Glatzel's pens in training but not WilsonQuote:

The marking on Morrison for our winner was unbelievably bad.
He hasn't been great with his head the last couple of seasons (even though he's got 2 in 3) but as bad as we were defending their two goals, that was just suicide.
Our defence really needs looking at, our defensive set as a whole to be fair, otherwise Norwich will murder us.
We dodged a bullet tonight.
I wanted to add that the sooner Whyte is shipped out the better. Not up to this level. Hope Hoilett is back Saturday.
Anyone know when Tomlin will return?Quote:

Gavin Whyte is with us until end of 2023 season so a long way to go with him yet. That first 20 minutes was the best we've seen of him though so hopefully Harris is building his confidence up and we'll see it more and more.
True. The Jacks would definitely take 1 from 6 if it was us they beat.Quote:

If we're going to play Gavin Whyte, it should be in the same role as Mark Harris. He doesn't contribute anything playing on the wing.
That was one hell of a "back pass"! Get what you mean about backwards/sideways passes. Makes a change to see a decisive forward pass like that. More please Marlon.Quote:

I'm sure that when an irregular contributor gets his way and Pack, Packs his Bags, then normal service will be resumed.Quote:

It also depends on the movement up ahead. We're usually quite static.Quote:
