NVMal Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 He needed to start with two out and out strikers, with it being a home game. With two strikers on the pitch first half i feel we would've scored. Marlon Pack - not impressed at all. Essentially he does a very similar job to Bobby Reid but to a lower standard. In the first couple of games Pack was here he looked quite good, forward, creative passes that could have led to goalscoring opportunities. That seems to have been coached out of him and now he only ever passes sideways or backwards. It should have been him who was sacrificed for an extra striker. It was clear in the first half their keeper did not want to kick it so kept looking for the short pass. All we needed to do was close off these options...we didn't do it. Clearly the players need to take some responsibility for doing this too but SOD needs to MAKE them if they won't do it independently. Why oh why did he wait for them to go 1-0 up before bringing on a striker. He's got to go....at this rate he's taking us down. Watching that tonight made me hurt and angry and that is not what i pay for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's been injured but he's fit now and would be a much better option, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbcfc Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 IMHO I don't think we played too bad, Reid got pushed wider in the second half, that didn't work. JET was anonymous in the 2nd half should have gone off and gone two up top. A problem all season is a lack of pace. Who runs at the opposition? Jet will go at people but beat them with tricks, where is the Adomah type player to force the opposition onto the back foot with a run from deep? It causes problems plus gives us an outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMal Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 The thing is, there is not just one thing he's getting wrong but three of four! It's worrying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thought we were in control of the first half though we didn't muster a shot on target. But what the hell happened in the second half. We were very poor, losing possession so easily and resulting to long balls to Baldock which is just a complete waste. We should have brought another striker on to win the game not to try and rescue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Either JET or Baldock has to be dropped. We need to go back to basics with two strikers up top without doubt. I love JET and I never thought I would say this but we are in deep shit now and at present he is too much of a luxury. Taylor has to start Saturday.

wayne allisons tongues Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you play pack and Reid then pack sits for Reid doesn't track back as much. It's either one or the other alongside wynter for me. No good playing 4411 as last night with part of the 4 3cm (Elliott Reid and pack) where's the natural width.

glynriley Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wynter is still recovering from injury isn't he? Played for the U-21's last week and was on the bench vs Crewe, so no, I don't think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
