Outstanding tonight.

[NigelJ]

His only mistake was the wall placement for their goal.

No your wrong  4 players in the wall and not one jumped up to attack the ball .

[dickos1]

That wasn’t his fault
It went straight through the wall, if Robinson had of headed it instead of moving his head out the way the wall would’ve done its job

[Sven Vath]

The wall made no effort to jump !!

[StocksArmy]

Absolutely appalling from the wall to make no attempt to jump. I don’t think Clark covered himself in glory but you have a wall to do a job and block a shot and every one of them in it wants a right b0ll0cking. What were they playing at??

[roversdude]

How did he not get MOTM kept us in that game

[Alan Southstand]

Robinson and Broadbent look way out of their depth. The midfield is atrociuos. This 2 players for every position is all well and good if some of them are good enough. It’s becoming patently obvious that quite a few are not up to this level.

[GazLaz]

The double save was very good. Has to play in the league games. Couldn’t believe he didn’t start on Saturday.

Broadbent can’t play as a number 8. Not sure how many times he needs to show that before he stops getting picked to play there.

Broadbent can't play!

He’s a central midfielder and a professional one at that, if he can’t play as a number 8 then he better start thinking of something else to do with his career

[monkeytennis]

Brilliant tonight, should have been MotM over Senior for me.

He can do a job sat in front of the centre halves with the game in front of him. Other than that he struggles.

  Robinson another brought in and not as good as Flint but get's a shout.

Sorry Selby but we had Robinson on trial with the coaching staff seeing both players on a daily basis, the wouldn’t have signed him if they don’t think he was better than flint. I imagine if Robinson was playing for the worst team two divisions below us he would’ve got a lot more game time than flint did. Flint is now playing 3 levels below us that’s a massive difference, if he is good enough for league one should really be standing out like a sore thumb at that level

[Usher wide.]

The wall didn’t jump because it didn’t need to as I’ve stated in another topic.

Zander set the wall up wrong then having done so took up too wide a position for him to get to the ball as it was ‘passed’ into the gap he had left by passing the wall completely.

For all the good saves he made after that it was that moment that ultimately won them the game.

[drfchound]

There is no denying that the wall was perfectly placed and that the ball went through it at neck height.
The wall covers one side of the goal and the keeper takes responsibility for the other side.

As I said further up on this thread, the wall didn't do the basic thing of not attempting to jump.

Both were excellent.

I can’t fathom what you’ve been watching
The ball went through the middle of the wall at head height it don’t go to the side of it
Literally went through the middle of the wall of Robinson had wanted to head it he could have

[Reg of the Rovers]

Agree re Clark - he did well tonight. I was sat behind the goal and before kick off he had a little moment psyching himself up and getting in the zone. I like him, his distribution is good and makes big saves.

The wall placement was fine for me, they didn't jump and Clark couldn't get across in time. The wall placement / keeper position was confirmed when they had the exact same free-kick and Norwood went top corner on the opposite side and Clark made a good save with the same set up.

On Broadbent in particular he's had enough chances now - even in the deep defender role he's about fourth choice, but he's awful - slow, doesn't tackle, doesn't run, doesn't play forward, doesn't create. Got to be front of the queue for a proper clear out at the end of the season.

Grant yet again picked the wrong three in midfield he did it in the last round against Huddersfield and had to bring on Bailey and Gotts. He should have played Close and Broabent as a two with either Clifton or Lee as the single 8. Grant keeps get his midfield wrong and leaves us open.
Clark was good last night and Grant as hard decision to make who starts on Saturday. But lately his decision making seems to be wrong and he has to change it.

[Move DRFC]

Agreed on Broadbent, he's one of many we need to ship out in the summer. I can't get over the McGrath one last summer, I'd accept 20k for him now seriously.

Sharp Hanlan Gibson Sbarra Broadbent to name a few. Definitely one of Maxwell or Senior although I'm still certain Maxwell is the better footballer despite Senior's good form. Need a clear out if we're serious about building a team who can challenge.

[StocksArmy]

Football is great because it really is all about opinions and everybody sees the game so differently. For me I’d play a half fit Senior ahead of a fully fit Maxwell. Senior is full blooded and leaves nothing out there. Maxwell rarely stays fit and maybe due to injuries he’s now like watching a child against men. Gets beat so, so easily and for me has gone backwards at an alarming rate. If we were relegated to league 2 tomorrow I still would allow him to leave. Sometimes players who have been at a club for a number of years just need to move on for the best of both parties.

I'm with you 100% SA, Maxwell was great, but since he's been back I think he's been an absolute liability - he doesn't tackle or block crosses and really looks like he's struggling to get about. I like Senior, little Jack Russell / pocket rocket type of player, he'd start first for me as well.

According to the numbers he puts in more tackles, interceptions, blocks, clearances, and carries out more clearances and interceptions per game than Senior.

Opinions hey.

That’s also how we’ve been recruiting players though. If you had a choice of signing Maxwell or Senior based on what you have read rather than what you have seen you’d be a bit p!ssed off when you are sat watching Maxwell.

Could also be down to the opposition targeting our left whenever his name is on the team sheet.

Yeah, but apart from that...

[dickos1]

Regardless of stats, senior has been a mich better option this season, I’m a massive Maxwell fan but he’s lost some confidence this year
