FarehamSaintJames Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Smallbone’s crossing is piss poor. We have got to make changes early as possible in the second half or at HT. Aribo, Stu Armstrong or Fraser would improve this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Manning picks up a yellow for stop[ping another counter. We're getting more vulnerable to that has the half has progressed. While at the same time, not getting anywhere near as many chances ourselves. We;ve managed to tire ourselves out attacking. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Never understand passing backwards when the clock is up. Just get it in the box, if they clear it or run away with it the ref will blow the whistle anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 We've been great but finishing has been rather poor. I don't understand why Adams doesn't do a better job of staying onside. That far up the pitch, it's literally a quick look, step back, then go, and finish like he did. It's not like the defender stepped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 You could easily sub off any of Adams (missed chances), A. Armstrong and Alcaraz (non existent tonight), Smallbone (what does he provide), Manning (absolute liability) tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Walking football is fine as long as you mix it up with balls over the top or through the lines to runners. Otherwise it's far too easy to defend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 (edited) Not good enough. Smallbone and Adams the week links that are holding us back this game. Manning as well to a lesser extent, but not as bad as the other two. Edozie again our best outlet, alcaraz and kwp dictating a lot of play with Armstrong. But with Che and smallbone either wasting chances or killing our attacks it's just not enough atm. Edited 29 December, 2023 by Saint86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Love to see us hammering a few shots when we get close to their box. They have numbers back so it's hard to break through but some long shots could be the answer as they might ricochet off someone and cause some havoc. The danger is they get one on the break because they have the players for it. We need a goal soon after half-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 We've created a ton of chances in that first half. The goal will come. There may have been periods of "walking football" but they've generally been followed by a chance. Slow, slow, fast. Ready to pounce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Bar the first 10 minutes, we've been pretty poor. Easy to defend against us when we move the ball around so slowly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 81% possession. Loads of lovely passing, exploiting space and movements. Plenty of balls across their box. Only 2 shots on target though. We're using the squad tonight. Lots of bright moments, but we have the experience, form and quality of Stu, Aribo and Fraser in the second half to grab the game. We were very dominant. Argyll had some counters though, as per our usual drawbacks. Also as normal these days, we were organised in stopping them. If anything, we dropped off our tempo as we looked for new ways of getting at their goal. Sky put up 110 successful passes in the final third, to their 8. That sums up the dominance.

Sheaf Saint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 Don't know what Aribo and Stu did to deserve being dropped. Hopefully they will get some minutes in the second half. We always look worse without Downes. Hope he's gonna be better soon. Edozie has been good again but their RB has done well so far. Let's see how he manages against Fraser once he tires later.
