Started like most of our games this season, second best. Wish we would come out and look to dominate the ball early when at home more.

Salford are dirty. Good team but the referee is letting them get away with murder. Come on lads. Getting more into it now.

Title: Re: TLOD v Salford City
Post by: Jersey Rover on August 20, 2022, 03:38:44 pm
There is definitely a pattern under G Mc of really poor tactics in first half and better in second. Said before over analysis on strengths of other teams. Let concentrate on out strengths, keep the ball on the deck, through midfield rather than long ball game. Expecting a change of tactics at half time yet again

First 30 minutes we were way off it ... last 15 minutes we've been much more combative. Need to keep this intensity in the 2nd half and we can win this.

I said in the "Let's talk about..." thread this is going to be all about who looks after the ball better. They did it in the first 20 mins and we did it after that. That's going to be the key for the 2nd half.

Got to say Asante Thomas is an excellent player at this level.  Pace and power and skill. 
Title: Re: TLOD v Salford City
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 20, 2022, 04:02:47 pm
When Lund was booked… the ref draws the line for the wall. Salford edge forward, then one of their lads moves the ball back a couple of yards. And when the ref blows the whistle for the kick to be taken, another Salford player rushes towards tge ball and clearly encroaches. Should have been carded and the kick retaken.

Obviously they’ve been told to watch if Tomlin has a FK opportunity around the box.

They are clever. Little knees in the back. The tug here and there. Very Scholes.

Yes,  in fits and starts. I still think we give it away too cheaply and the added on minutes consisted mainly of defending for our lives and banging it as far away from goal as we could. We need more composure to look after the ball better. Salford were better than us at that but we took our chances so that's that.

Faulkener looked like he had been playing first team football for a good few years today, un phased by anything and dealt very well with Salfords late onslaught. He will be a big player for us in the future and we need to be tying him down on a long contract as soon as we can.

Get him in on loan then.

A good win today against a very good side. Young Faulkner is one to watch as I though he had a very good game when he came on. Dug in at times when, especially in the first half, we didn’t see much of the ball, keeping our shape well despite the couple of changes in the back four we needed to do.

Onwards and upwards
