i bet your made up Dave.forevertufc wrote:Where do I start, positives none, that's not a clouded view, nor do I need to calm down. lets be honest here, the referee DID NOT COST US THE GAME, ok it was a clear foul on Bodin no doubt, but that happened on the edge of Northampton's penalty area, we had more than enough time to break up there attack, and get in a set position to defend the attack.
The problem the gap between O'Connor and Nicholson was wider than the Mersey tunnel, Sinclair was in between both had all the time and space to be found and score, ok , we may have lost concentration after what happened up the field and it was a mistake, learn from it, just a few minutes later Northampton attack again, this time the gap between O'Connor and Nicholson is wider than the ocean, Sinclair in between the lines again 0.2 and cheers easy . Come on, that's flipping schoolboy stuff that you would expect to see from a local U13 team, not good enough, Manse to be fair isn't a full back, never has been.
The problem part 2this wasn't a must win game agreed, but it was in the first instance a must not lose game, there was a lot riding on it, a massive chance for us to climb out of the bottom 2, and pretty much seal Northampton's fate. So what was wrong our team tonight? Seen more life in tramps vest, second to everything, slow, jogging around, lethargic, looked at times like they just couldn't be bothered, from the 85th minute right through the added 5 minutes they should have busting a gut, get numbers forward quickly, put some pressure on their keeper, who couldn't kick for toffee, just as well lose 1.3 trying get back into it, Poke had the ball in time added on, Lathrope and Labadie were just walking, not the only one's no urgency at all. If I can make the effort to get up after working all night, drive my daughter to the nearest Virgin shop in Exeter high street to get her Phone sorted out, drive back to newton Abbot get some shopping, go home walk the dogs, come back have a shower then drive straight to Torquay, all I want in return is to see my team, who I care about deeply about at least put some effort in, being honest what did I see less than NOTHING.
The fix this performance may turn out to be a one of under Greavsie and hopefully so, but there were things glaringly obvious tonight, a shopping list Mr Hargreaves, with a new left and right back on it, priority no 1 and realisation that Jordan Chapell carries the greatest attacking threat and needs to be playing.
Fair play to both Chapell and Hawley, who both came on and showed more in a short space of time than the rest of the team did in 90 minutes.
im wondering (clutching at straws really) if it was also a bit to do with match fitness/practice....??
