Title: TLOD v Wombles
Post by: ravenrover on August 07, 2021, 01:53:19 pm
Here we go
For those of us not at the game if we do score could you let us know the scorer instead of just saying GOAL
TAREVERSO

When did we sign Tareverso? And how do you know he will score?

Interesting line up, as expected except Seaman in for Bogle. Not sure who lines up where - whether Seaman or Knoyle or indeed Gardner plays more advanced.

EDIT - according to Liam Hoden it’s Seaman playing wide left.

Post by: Dutch Uncle on August 07, 2021, 02:13:24 pm
Starting XI has 9 debutants, and adding Rowe 10 players who did not play a game for us last season.

Interesting selection of Seaman, presumably in midfield?

Let's hope for a new start - I feel an early goal either way would be more crucial than normal today.

Edit: Just seen above - Seaman wide left.

Only game I can think of with a similar player turnaround was our first in the Conference. The starting XI also had 9 debutants, a player like Rowe who had just returned (Scott Maxfield) and only one from the previous season - Lee Warren

“ Weren’t at the races first 20 minutes as they looked like the home side. We came into it after that and finished the stronger side without looking like scoring though. They had best chance with a one on one with our keeper who saved well and looks very assured”

From my dad who’s at the game, sounds like we grew as the half went on so hopefully we pick up where we left off.
Title: Re: TLOD v Wombles
Post by: monkeytennis on August 07, 2021, 03:57:50 pm
Rovers need to get to know each other I think. They’re playing straight through us quite often.

We’re hoofing it up the wing to an empty space or losing the ball generally.

Williams and the new keeper seem to be doing well.
Title: Re: TLOD v Wombles
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 07, 2021, 03:58:40 pm
H/T

Dahlberg has been excellent.
We looked a bit rusty and disjointed to start but got better as the half progressed and ended on top   IMHO.

Wimbledon have been very aggressive, to the point of playing spoilers really but hats off to them, it’s a good test for the lads, to be put under pressure quickly. We’ve been dispossessed a bit, and some players haven’t found their range yet.

Charlie Seaman and Barlow look good. High work rate and not afraid to run at players.

The ref has been poor. He’s missed a lot of niggly stuff and a few late hits, and Tiago has been pulled down at least once in the box, which should have been given as a penalty.

We’re growing into the game though.

It's become a very modern thing - happened a lot in the Euros to counter the free kicks when players put it under a jumping wall. Think Gareth Roberts socred against Forest in 07/08 doing that.

They have new owners pumping in big cash & they will want a quick upturn in form. Especially after last season. It might not be after three games but if goes on for 8 or 10 i can see him getting sacked.

Post by: PDX_Rover on August 07, 2021, 05:09:41 pm
Well… I don’t think we deserved to lose but didn’t do enough to win. A draw would have been fair.

Rovers looked like a team of new players. There are positive signs there but we were far too sloppy and disjointed today. Way too many stray passes and caught in possession a lot. We will improve a lot.

The less said about the officials the better. Suffice to say their first goal looked clearly offside and there was all sorts going on in the melee that led to it.

The second goal… seemed harsh. I think the ref’s given handball. Have to see it again.

He gave us f**k all and let Wimbledon do what they wanted to. Dirty, bratty, niggly team… and they were given carte blanche to shithouse all game.

Tiago didn’t show much. He looks a yard off it.
Seaman, Dahlberg standouts. Smith looks handy. Barlow impressed. Rowe showed flashes of quality. CJ was good when he came on.

Overall, disappointed with the result, and Richie will have to figure out how to better teams like this who are aggressive and seek to break up anything, legally or otherwise.

Credit to Wimbledon. They had a plan and were allowed to execute it. But an ugly team to watch. I expect them to be down the bottom end.
Title: Re: TLOD v Wombles
Post by: bpoolrover on August 07, 2021, 05:15:14 pm
Agree about the positives but I think unless we manage to sign a couple of loan players with some pace not much will change. They were a ugly team yes but sometimes that's what you need at this level, I wouldn't bet on us finishing higher than them for sure

Post by: sha66y on August 07, 2021, 05:18:52 pm
Defence was breached twice , so that needs addressing first,  whether it be 4-4-2 or some other formation….we need to buy time without conceding for these first few games until things can be worked out, and the injured can be integrated..

Not a problem but lessons have to learned quickly
Title: Re: TLOD v Wombles
Post by: glosterred on August 07, 2021, 05:39:13 pm
Got to say, IMO that was a slight and only slight improvement on the end of last season. I’d like to say things can only get better but after last season I’m not so sure. But we lacked pace down the wings, lacked good passing with to many balls given away and we lacked created chances, there was next to nothing for the front men to work with.

Onwards and upwards

they call it the "draft excluder" position. Darren Moore could still do the draft excluder position at his age - (they sometimes call draft excluders snakes )

One day someone will wack the ball and it will hit the draft excluder person (on the floor) on the head and do him damage.

Ipswich got a late goal to sneak a draw.
