Title: Fleetwood v rovers
Post by: dickos1 on February 01, 2020, 02:02:41 pm
Cannot believe we’ve dropped James again

Seems very harsh to me. I thought he had a very good game last time out.

Look at that bench tho, talk about attacking options....

to be fair, doesn't DM say he changes the line up if needed to combat the opposition, so james might have been dropped for John regardless of form..

Why assume James has done anything wrong? It's a tactical move. DM is trying to win football matches not a popularity contest.

Strong bench is good see. Hope John is playing left back for added physicality against a specific player rather than loan player favouritism. Even so it's strange to drop the best player on the pitch in our last game.

I have a good feeling about today. Especially looking at the strength and the options sitting on that bench
Title: Re: Fleetwood v rovers
Post by: The Beast on February 01, 2020, 02:27:39 pm
I think it’s probably to match up more at set pieces than anything else. If it was part of his loan deal he had to play, I’d probably play him instead of Wright. I have faith in the big man, bench looks really strong!

John has struggled every time he’s played left back, James has arguably been our best player this season.

Nice to see Paddy Madden warming their bench , just hope he stays there.

I don’t think either Copps or James have been dropped.

Tactics.

In Moore we trust!

Didn't Alf Ramsay make the point that changing the team didn't necessarily equate to a player being dropped?

He missed a ball on Tuesday.
Long throw by Southend in the SW corner, came for it and missed it.
I said at the time that it was the first time I have seen it happen with Dieng.

Post by: SydneyRover on February 01, 2020, 03:56:45 pm
The commentators said there may have been a bit of interference but it hard to see if there was, anyway it's on the board, two goals req'd in the second half hound

Only HT but this has all the looks of the old "they were just more at it". They have not given us a second on the ball and when we have had the chance to play, we have failed miserably to do the basics. They are dealing with the conditions far better than us. For me DM has his line up all wrong here. When you play against wind you absolutely have to play with a striker who can hold the ball up. Weve discovered that just isnt Ennis's game, weve signed a number 9 of that calibre and stuck with the one who cant do it. I get why DM has not started any of the new signings but for me Fejiri was an absolute cert for a start this afternoon. And also Gomes IMO has no place in this squad regardless of recent improvement. If he doesnt make a change at half time then the game has gone. We can only improve.

Good afternoon everyone! Big question, is Fleetwood one of our Bogey sides. However, good our team, we can never beat them. Them having a tool of a manager doesn't help.

Poor today, think poor team selection John is far better at centre back than left back and with Gomes we had 3’defensive midfielders

Post by: Pliskin on February 01, 2020, 05:14:48 pm
Always seem to get turned over at Fleetwood.

Still, a poor result. They'd not won at home since November.

And 65% of our remaining fixtures are away from home. It's going to be difficult unless we improve in these sorts of games.
Title: Re: Fleetwood v rovers
Post by: StocksArmy on February 01, 2020, 05:34:31 pm
Like I said at half time. Absolutely criminal team selection. Why complain about a threadbare squad, sign the attackers you have so badly craved and select none of them? It almost felt a bit like DM felt loyalty towards the squad before the signings in order to throw that game to then justify getting the new guys into the team on Tuesday. Far too many nice players in that team for todays opponents.
Title: Re: Fleetwood v rovers
Post by: IDM on February 04, 2020, 10:13:16 am
It would be crazy to throw new signings straight into the staring 11 when they have had little or no time to prepare with the squad..

I can however see Cole perhaps starting on Tuesday.
