Crewe commentary predicting an optimistic 1-1 draw and saying they are happy with that?

I know we have changed the manager but have they not seen our performances of late, and they are at home.

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on October 22, 2022, 03:24:54 pm
We don’t have the players to play 2 centre midfielders. All too old or lightweight.

Rowe could be an answer he’s a bit more action and mobile than Clayton who I’m sorry I’d just done as a pro player now

I did. It's only a fortnight ago you held the league leaders to a draw. I expected a "new manager improvement" against a not particularly good Crewe Alexandra. But then of course I haven't seen you play this season.
Title: Re: Crewe V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on October 22, 2022, 03:31:23 pm
Half an hour in, no shot on target again, are the players trying to impress a new manager? It seems not.

We have got no proper pace or strength in the side. Unless you've got a genius, like SOD, you're not going to do much with a short, weak, slow squad.

Gotta mention the ref, been ok for rovers  how many 1 pen. And twice we have given away a free kick and rovers player have smashed it out of play afterwards. They are yellow card offences there which he hasn't given.

Are the players in a dejected frame of mind to be doing this? It's not a good sign. You do that when you're fed up and given up

Post by: StocksArmy on October 22, 2022, 04:00:09 pm
Im not Taylors biggest fan but we need to inject some pace and urgency into the frontline. We must defend from the front because we are that soft in midfield and defence. I love Clayts but hes just not mobile enough to be a first team starter. I still fail to see what Biggins job is and Close same as above. Willaims and Long dont win their headers and Anderson is way off the pace yet been the better of the 3. Taylor and Hurst on for Molyneux and any midfielder. Lets go for it.

I think it's clear we're currently in the phase where any points are a bonus, while the new boss gets them playing how he wants them to. How long this phase lasts comes down to how quickly the players can learn (and how easy it is to learn the new style)

Clayton and Williams are on 4 yellow cards - one short of a suspension.

The ref hasn't done us a favour in regards to this yet.

Stopped playing for some reason. Banging it long. Clayton has lost the ball in 3 key areas, 2 of which led to good chances for them.
