Sterry

[monkeytennis]

I really rate him and think he brings some quality that is lacking in a lot of our team.

The chap sat in front of me yesterday (and I’m sure I’ve heard him before) hates him, all you hear is ‘f*****g Sterry again’ every time the lad puts a foot wrong. I mean we are in L2 they’re not going to never make an error but at least he puts an effort in.

Then again the same chap was suggesting taking McGrath off for Anderson so I’m not sure he’s playing with a full deck lmao.

It's a poor showing when we had to rely on our left back to provide quality balls in the box

Why is that then? We play them as wing backs, part of their job is getting crosses in?   

We went with a flat back four yesterday, but I don't disagree it's a fullbacks job to overlap and get crosses in. What I'm saying is the only cross of any real quality was from Maxwell which we scored from, great header from Bailey by the way. What doesn't help our wingers is the fact we've nobody brave enough in midfield to take the ball in tight areas, hence why the back four have to play it between themselves & the keeper which then gives our opponents time to get back behind the ball and into their shape making it extremely difficult to play against.

Yeah agree we had a flat back 4 but when in possession the push on like WBs. We definitely have a different shape when in/out of possession. I actually though Moly was stiffling Sterry yesterday by standing still on the wing whereas conversely on the opposite wing Hurst was drifting inside more which gave Maxwell the space to push forward.

I'm not the biggest fan of sterry regards defensive duties but he is best we have going forward.

I was getting really frustrated with Moly yesterday, so predictable and never looked to get a cross in.

[jmt23]

He did play well, and was probably close to being mom, but his one on one defending seems weak to me, he always seems to get beat.

Our short corners with Molyneux and Westbrooke during the first half of last season were really imaginative and effective. What happened to them?

They were very good throughout the season and yet there were still people in the stadium and on here complaining about them.

I disagree about outswinging corners, it’s a lot easier to get powers in a header that’s coming towards you to attack than away from you.
We’ve looked good this year at corners I think and scored from a few

More goals get scored per in swinging corner than they do out swingers.


Not saying our corners have been terrible this season but they certainly could be a more consistent threat.

What’s the ratio between them? Set piece FC take unbelievable corners, we don’t have anyone to rival the delivery of Rice or Saka but their inswingers always look so threatening.

[donnievic]

He is a steady player not sure why he gets slated so much really,the number of times he comes up against wingers and nearly always he is left one on one!!!yes gets bet at times by them but still manages most of the time recovers to stop the cross yet going the other way Molly gets slated when he loses the ball when comes up against 2 or 3 defenders on him

[drfchound]

Lots of people also overlook the defensive work that Mols does too.
Him and Sterry work very well together at both ends of the pitch.

Not allowing for the blocks on the keeper. Against Brentford Saliba not only jumps in front of the keeper and leans in to him but also puts his arms across to pin him back preventing him for going for the ball
Just watch the replay and VAR allow it, it couldn't happen in our league the ref would give the foul

[Lesonthewest]

I thought Sterry played really well, our best player along with Olowu.

The best player we have in midfield at taking under pressure and in tight situations is Ben Close, always gives an option and rarely loses the ball, yes there are times when he plays the safe pass but I’d much rather him doing that than go long and lose it if it isn’t on. The problem with Close in there is that he’s not the quickest and isn’t great off the ball.

Broadbent has done well in most games this season and does take the ball under pressure and also has the off the ball work to break up play a lot. He’s still learning the new role tho and like yesterday he received the ball but was a bad touch and wasn’t aware of the danger (McCann mentioned about his body position) he will grow into a good enough player in that position imo but will make mistakes and needs time.

It’s a completely different role to the box to box midfielder which is what he’s played throughout his early career.

[graingrover]

I think the community work he does is the mark of the man .He has obviously put a lot of thought and effort into raising money for the food banks of Doncaster with that raffle he organised for fans .

[Usher wide.]

Admirable work but it doesn’t make him a better player.

[graingrover]

Usher  .His character does not start and end in a football shirt.GM and his staff take a man’s character into consideration before they sign him , fortunately, since character is a determinant for all of us whatever  we do .

[selby]

  What supporters are missing in Sterry's case when he plays and anyone else at right back or even on our right flank, most of the oppositions attacks are down our left flank where we are easily got at because we lack pace there and makes his life easy.
  Olowu apart from yesterday when he fell for a dummy has done well even Moly tracks back and works hard in front of him, why attack that side of our team when you can run past players on the left flank who are not fast enough to get back at you and give you the extra couple of yards room in the area to score goals from short range most tackles being a desperate lunge to try  and stop a shot.

[Upton Rover]

I personally think sterry is a solid performer.

Consistently a 7 out of 10.

He gets alot of assists too

I think that’s a bit generous, a 5 at best
