Edgy Red Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 4 minutes ago, 97Red said: I wasn't at the game today. But the fact we scraped by bottom of the league who had 10 men, tells you all you need to know. This is a mid table squad that Pearson was doing his best to get the most out of. Lansdown is absolutely deluded with his promotion squad statements. I think we are a couple of quality attacking players away from potentially being a top 6 side. If we had all of our defensive options available, we have a pretty decent base to work from. Although we have 7 or 8 forward options, unfortunately they are not good enough. Whilst Alex Scott is a sensational talent, i believe we miss Semenyo more. 3 Quote Link to comment

If you aren’t just ball watching things like that amplify where we lack quality. Playing 10 yard passes in front of the opposition isn’t quality. Agreed we are lacking that player who has vision (we used to have one). I think we passed the ball well for most of the game and also kept the ball well for most of the game. We looked the better side against eleven let alone ten. The Bell miss put pressure on us imo. 14 attempts on goal with seven on target make a nice change. Happy with that game personally. 1 Quote Link to comment

Moved the ball too slowly as well. But showed plenty of effort and fight and tried to avoid sitting back. Thought pros and cons of NP era were pretty much all there today. They were bad weren’t they. First half was the same old. I thought the changes were good. Naismith pushing into midfield allowing a midfielder to push forward. Mehmeti popping up everywhere and looking confident. Not sure NP takes a CB off. Not sure he brings Mehmeti on. And just generally thought our creative players looked a bit more relaxed. It wasn’t pretty or necessarily good but I thought it was something. 2 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: If we had more quality Bell could have been put through FOUR times.

It wasn’t perfect but I felt the players enjoyed it today. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bris Red Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 A fairly poor game and a win against let’s be honest a team we should be comfortably beating at home. Fair play to Fleming and the lads though, difficult circumstances and they did enough to win the game. Wasn’t pretty but they did enough. Can’t complain too much, only 4 points off the play-offs aswell, a decent starting point for whoever the new man is that comes in and takes over. 9 Quote Link to comment

Mehmeti has tricks but not the physical gifts for this level to consistently take players on. Looks more comfortable roaming and finding pockets of space from a central role. Sykes is our best creative player imo. That just isn’t enough though. I look at bits of business like Whittaker to Plymouth or Philogene to Hull and think what if. Quote Link to comment

This isn’t the lower half of the table side NP made it look. So excited for the future Stop smoking crack sunshine . That was ******* awful.

bexhill reds Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 8 minutes ago, Supersonic Robin said: 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. They are too wide compared to Semenyo, Martin and Wiemann when they had their purple patch. It just ends up with people being isolated and crosses into no one. Not a fan. I don’t think we’d lose that much from forward play if we went back to a system that played 2 up front. Quote Link to comment

Seen enough teams to think ain’t much in it. Tactical set ups matter and we were lacking. We’ll just keep signing other teams best players but say we aren’t great. We aren’t Leeds Southampton or Leicester. After that we are about the same as everyone else bar the bottom 3-4 sides. That is the championship. Quote Link to comment

That’s not going to happen with this squad , it’s too thin. If all of a sudden in January the purse strings open then we know for sure nige was sawn off at the knees & they’ve been lying all along .

redkev Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 After all the emotion of the week regardless of the opposition or there league position 3 points is 3 points , we have got to move on now nothing we do is going to change what has happened , doesn’t mean we got to be happy with what’s happened , personally think we will appoint someone this week in time for the away game at qpr then the international break to get his feet under the table then he’s tenure will begin in earnest 1 Quote Link to comment

Absolutely right 3 spread out hadn't worked conway no good on his own in the middle ,basically he is just being battered by giant centre half's on his own and its is usually 2 .he is not an aerial ball winner he needs a partner to work gaps with on the floor like Wells don't know why we persevere with it.. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it was always the Lansdowns intentions to let Nige see out his contract and thats it. His job was keep us in the division with a tight budget. Get us better physically and defensively. He did that. Maybe did it so well they thought we can have a go this season. It be nice to tell us that if the case but not realistic. We’ll never know if NP could have done more. I don’t believe he sets up in a modern way that has been successful over the years. With the comments from the club about high intensity and all that they didn’t think so either. No doubts whoever comes in will get funds in January. Harsh on NP to build it and not get backing? Yes but again I feel like that was always going to be the case. Quote Link to comment
