Great servant, but we need to replace him in January. Do you not think the new manager may drop him? Quote Link to comment

ProfitInMyPocket Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Two pretty even teams, even with the red card the game could have gone either way. Both teams lacking quality once they get over the half way line, wish we had a bit of purpose about us when we get one v one with defenders or can play someone in behind. The pass is on but rarely ever played. You could have thrown a blanket on their midfield and striker they were defending so narrow in the first half, they knew we wouldn't break them down through the middle without Naismith. Opened up a bit after the red card. Good game from Max after a few dodgy early passes, commanded the box and what a save to keep us in front from that free kick. Some decent performances but a lot of slow predictable possession isn't going to hurt the better sides in this division.

Dan Robin Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Phew! A ray of light in a cloudy week. Glad to see some key players back in the team, even if the performance was less satisfying than the result. COYR!! Quote Link to comment
Jerseybean Posted November 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Phew a home win, just! That was quite painful to watch, but I’m delighted with three points. Bearing in mind we faced 10 men for an hour and they are bottom of the table we really did make very hard work of that. Throughout the game we looked to be playing very cautiously with the ball going square or backwards, far too often, and at quite a pedestrian pace. Wednesday had plenty of time to organize themselves, and when they were on the wall, they looked more likely to create something, to be honest, and did so with a number of really good opportunities. Other than Sam Bell’s astonishing miss, I can’t remember too many clear cut chances that we created. If our new Head Coach was watching that, they will know they have quite a lot of work to do, especially IMO around creative moments that create chances. Thought Gardner-Hickman put in a great shift and Max kept us in it with the save towards the end. Overall, it was quite frustrating to watch, but a home win, nevertheless. 4 Quote Link to comment
Gazred Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hmmm, you take the 3pts of course but that was a pretty rough performance. Delighted for Curtis though who deserves that win in what would of been a difficult week for him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

To be fair, it was one of the best covering challenges ever. If the run had been checked up, he'd have slide down Winterstoke Road and stopped up by the Miners. Quote Link to comment

Numero Uno Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Tbf, Bell, despite an horrendous miss, made at least four runs I counted that had the ball gone forward instead of backwards and sideways would have resulted in him being clean through. 1 Quote Link to comment

Supersonic Robin Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 10 minutes ago, bexhill reds said: Largely uninspiring, perhaps the new manager will break away from playing a front 3, it does not suit our forwards other than perhaps Cornick In fairness, I think it does suit many of our forwards. Conway is good through the centre of a 3, as is Wells. Sykes, Mehmeti, and Bell are fine out wide. In fact, I'd argue that wide in a front 3 is the only position Bell can play. Whilst Conway has been injured (and other injuries have moved Sykes to RB), I think it's a general lack of quality in the front 3 that's been the bigger issue. Quote Link to comment

Bazooka Joe Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Three more precious points despite all the turmoil and fiasco, courtesy of Messrs Lansdown. And 10th in the table. I'll gladly take that for now. Quote Link to comment
