Nice to see greaves get his chance! Just hope he can keep his concentration has all the potential to be a very good player who knows could go on to replace Ben. Will never know without a chance

It’s nice to see Richards in the more attacking role from midfield also Wright on the bench is good hopefully him and Gomes could be on the bench on Saturday if they are not selected to play of course.

I like the look of the team but bench depth is a real issue. 4 defenders (good to see Wright back but got a feeling he's walking wounded) a keeper and a midfielder who so far doesn't seem up to it. Lokilo is capable of a bright spark but very hit and miss. Hopefully no new injuries tonight!

JT struggling to do anything right so far.
Greaves doing well.

Dale look lively and dangerous up front. We need to quicken up our passing, particularly out from the back.

He certainly looks off the pace so far. Quite impressed by Rochdale, they look quick, strong and sharp. Hoping we’ll grow into the game.

You know what Nick, I nearly did put J-T but thought you might think I was taking the pizz.

The pace of this game is terrible.
Our gerrit forrard lot would be going mental if fans were in the stadium.

Brilliant ball by Smith and great run by Halliday to head it back into the danger area. But of luck with Richards scuffing it and Taylor in the right place at the right time to tap in.

Best move of the game! Probably against the run of play though as I don’t think we have been great so far. Good sign though

Just about the only decent move of the game.  Greaves has done alright so far. Won a lot of tackles breaking play up quite well.
Title: Re: TLOD v Dale
Post by: dknward2 on January 19, 2021, 07:43:57 pm
Great team worked goal that we seem to have stepped up a little bit, hopefully it will drag them out which should give us some space

Elliot playing well so is AJ, Big Tom and Butler being the brick wall, the pace we have down the wing is very positive

I wouldn't have said it was against the run of play, we've had the majority possession, they've just hit long balls and long shots from outside the area.

Not sure what I’m watching...they look:
Strong
Quick
Controlled
Fast
and look to have goals in them....

We look :
A bit rushed
Clumsy
Disjointed
Headless at times

Yet we are winning, so whatever that ingredient is ( I think it’s a massive bucket of luck) we seem to be using it to its greatest effect....

I didn’t have because I saw them coming off for the break.
I thought Dale might have stayed on though and sneaked one in.

Err...you can’t score direct from a goal kick...unless the Laws have changed this season!
 :)

From the BBC website:

Newport County goalkeeper Tom King scored the first goal of his career to give the Exiles the lead at Cheltenham Town.

The 25-year-old's goal-kick was picked up in the wind before Robins goalkeeper Josh Griffiths was caught out by the bounce as the ball sailed into the net.

Newport players ran all the way back into their own penalty area to celebrate with King, who was included in Wales' international squad for the first time in November 2019.

Stunned by the goal the Cheltenham players appeared to appeal to officials, but after a quick discussion between the referee Peter Wright and the fourth official the goal was given


Obviously the ball was played a second time by an attacker/defender.

Post by: swain_drfc on January 19, 2021, 08:26:00 pm
Richards not happy at being taken off. Don’t blame him tbh. Game still up for grabs and if we concede he is one that can change the game back in our favour.

Direct from a goal kick is allowed.

You are right, B.R.! Quote from the Laws of the Game:

“A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if the ball left the penalty area.”

Well, I never knew that! I finished refereeing in 1999, after more than 40 years, and that certainly wasn’t the Law when I retired...I don’t think!

DM gave Williams time on the pitch but he got to more. We won not nice on the eye but the determination and AJ showed his metal. 7 wins out of 8 games we can’t complain. Now to get Gomes back hopefully for Saturday. James back in contention. Decision over JJ to make before next league game and another midfield player hopefully with some height and skill and we are definitely in contention.

Post by: adamtherover on January 19, 2021, 09:07:38 pm
I must have been watching a different game, greaves for me, seemed to either pass the ball to a blue, or go in clumsy risking a free kick..
And Williams looked like he had won a competition to get a game, he only came on as there was no one else...  And then Barley touched the ball once on.. Our strength in depth is absolute zero right now.

That aside, the defence is rock solid and will be the reason from here on, if we go up this season!!!

We are at bare bones we need at least two more players we all know but let’s not have a dig at players who have not played. Greaves not tactician but he did what he need to do in his first full start. Williams needs to do more but he’s not played. DM knows what we need depending on JJ’s injury.

Greaves needs to keep getting games he could be a great player just needs games and learning of a great manager
