Kinda begin to expect the rotation now with John, Richards and Fejiri starting, other than the enforced Taylor for Sims.

Not expecting a classic, not expecting champagne football but very much hoping they do the basics well first and foremost. See what happens from there.

Yea be interested to see if midfield struggle due to lack of movement up front JJ s mobility creates so much space. Come on Fej, here’s your chance
Title: Re: TLOD V Burton
Post by: rich1471 on December 19, 2020, 02:29:58 pm
Feji needs to take his chance today with starting , its frustrating as he can play really well he needs early balls across the box or just in front of him to run onto
Title: Re: TLOD V Burton
Post by: NickDRFC on December 19, 2020, 02:31:10 pm
Hopefully JJ just being rested..

He’s started 3 games in 11 days since his return in a role with a lot of running and battling involved, he’s definitely due a breather.

He is on the bench so won’t be injured.

Two stupid tackles for two stupid penalties, but at least they've evened it out. We need to tighten up a bit in the second half.

Decent half. We look good going forward today, a lot of quick balls that Burton struggling to deal with.
As others have said RJ looks off it though.

Far too sloppy that half we lead but really do we deserve it?

It was obviously quicker than typing Taylor Richards, or even Richards.

Yet longer than typing TR, like people normally do with initials like JC, JM or AB.

It’s not the end of the world to admit that you made a mistake, a lot of people seem to think it’s a double barrelled surname which is why I mentioned it in the first place!

Played ok there but think there’s more to come from us. Okenabirhie looks a bit sharper but Whiteman & James uncharacteristically wasteful at times. If we come out firing we could win by 3 or 4 goals.

Sky scores saying Richards and Butler BUT it flashed up on my notifications Brad Halliday instead of Richards, thought it might have been for arguing or foul language when pen given,but now looks like some stat man made an error and they altered it now.

We went a  bit more direct in that first half, with loads of long balls-obviously a tactic, not pretty to watch though.
James and Whiteman have not been their usual self, a lot of poor control.
Fej has looked a bit more up for the challenge today, and is making a right nuisance of himself.
Title: Re: TLOD V Burton
Post by: RoversAlias on December 19, 2020, 04:04:49 pm
It was definitely Richards booked, which begs the question of why their player wasn't booked for our penalty. Similar challenges.

Great third goal and came at a time when we hadn’t seen a lot of the ball. Gives us a bit of breathing space and hopefully we can push on with a goal or two more.

It’s a shame about Lokilo. He obviously has talent but not showing anything really. Hope he figures it out.

It's an odd one. It was a signing everyone hoped might come off and it caused excitement when it did and was seen as a real sign of intent.  Still early days though.

OK who fancies being Christmas No. 1

Was it? I was happy he signed but let's be realistic, we saw him play for 20 minutes last season. He has not played much senior football in his career and has a lot of development still to go, so we shouldn't expect him to be a world-beater just yet. It could still come off yet and as you say, it is still very early days for him.

Yep, agreed RA.
Too many times our players get called out as rubbish far too soon.
It would be nice if fans didn’t get on players backs.

Just for the record, I wasn't being critical of Lokilo. I was just pointing out the huge disparity between the excited expectations and the fan's reaction to his brief appearances to date.

If we don't play well and still win, that a good sign of a promotional winning side, just got to keep it going starting Tuesday.

He could learn loads from Josh if we were able to keep him for he needs to learn a golden rule that Sims himself points out .There is no value in breaking down the flanks if you do not find a man with your final cross .

Rush of blood there by T-R

Why do some people think Taylor Richards is a double barrelled surname? Taylor is his first name.





I didn’t think it was a double barrelled name.

If you say so, can’t say I’ve ever seen initials with a hyphen in between them though!






Think what you like.
It was obviously quicker than typing Taylor Richards, or even Richards.

Yet longer than typing TR, like people normally do with initials like JC, JM or AB.

It’s not the end of the world to admit that you made a mistake, a lot of people seem to think it’s a double barrelled surname which is why I mentioned it in the first place!





Jeez Nick, you can be a right nit picker at times.
I have told you why I typed T-R and why on earth would I not know it isn’t a d-b name?

I’ve never in my life seen initials typed with a hyphen between them. Not once. So I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that’s what you meant. But fair enough, I’ll leave it there and take it back.






Good morning Nick.
To tag on to yesterday’s chat, you may not have been paying much attention to the posts on here over the past few months because there is one poster who often refers to Silent Majority as S-M.
Just saying.......
