bexhill reds Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yep, by far the better team today, but I would argue that a half decent U15s team would have beaten us on that performance. Can’t fault the way the played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 They played some lovely football today. Positive and entertaining. Just what I'd hoped to see us deliver on one of the bigger matches of the season! Good luck them. Nice club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was absolutely shocked they turned up and played like that. Oh wait, they always do and Johnson hasnt cottoned on yet as proven by his team selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardy Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Good team but we made them look better with the amount of space we gave them and lack of closing them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I agree but they have to give LJ credit. Constantly playing 2 in midfield against teams like Brentford and Preston who play 3 and 3 good ones at that. Bobby isn’t dropping as deep either so can highlight this more. He used to drop deep and link up with our midfield now looks for balls in the channels. Felt bad for Smith and Walsh. Pinned deep by their possesion but then needed to get forward to link with the strikers. Couldn’t do both so about a 30 yard gap was left when ever the strikers didn’t hold it up which was often as we were under pressure and booting it up the pitch. Was an endless cycle that could have been rectified with a smart substitution(like Pack for Fam). Instead out of form Pato comes on and we drop the wingers(it seemed) and he played as a third striker rarely picking the ball up in a dangerous pocket of space. LJ for me is showing his ineptitude. Fair play he made a great start but we have been found out and he has no answers to change it. His only subs are to throw extra attackers on and hope for the best. We had a style it was figured out and we never adjusted. He still has the same weaknesses as season’s past. He’s earned another season but have to question whether he can take us to the next level. He is good at many things but his main flaw hasn’t improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Today's shocking performance was a big surprise to me. I certainly didn't see it coming. Some of the guys around me had been at Burton and reckoned that today was worse! Be interesting to hear LJs view is on today's diabolical showing.

Tbh I was expecting a decent performance given the incentive of the pray-offs. I wonder what the problem is with Pack? Has he been ill or maybe carrying an injury. He was sorely missed.

Dr Balls Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 We made them look like world beaters. But on that performance we would have made anybody look good. As was, with only 1 in midfield we made them look like Barcelona but without the shooting boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God they can’t finish or it would have been a cricket score! Completely agree. As a team they looked really good. A solid side with bags of pace in different areas and awareness of how to find space and pass to each other. Their finishing was the only thing missing today. A 0-5 loss wouldn't have been unfair.

I wasn’t expecting too much today in all honesty, but what I witnessed was shocking, the worst performance for a long time. Their keeper didn’t have a save to make all game and their midfielder, Sawyer did exactly what he wanted. He looked like he really enjoyed himself out there today runing around with the ball. I bet he didn’t even have a shower afterwards because he didn’t break into a sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
