Think you may have answered your own question there - the subs IMHO were deliberatley made to save important players for Saturday.
Great 1st half, it could have been 5- 0 at half time. Hardie upfront with his movement, must be a nightmare for defenders, hopefully he will be OK for Saturday.
Cooper was brilliant with his passing/crosses tonight, but his corners for some reason are not good, don't understand why.
2nd half was a job well done - even if it was flat compared to the 1st half.
No-one sent off and hopefuly no injuries, so roll on Saturday :scarf:
Thought the crowd was quiet tonight, despite the great performance in the 1st half and the result.
So Good So Good

I didn't say he's not contributing, but I feel he's not contributing anywhere near the extent
we were led to believe that he would. I follow your posts regarding Mayor, and I understand that
you rate him highly, but to my eyes he constantly fails to contribute what I feel he's capable of,
and less than his performances in previous seasons and the hype surrounding him suggested that
he would. Something is lacking, hence the word "disappointment".
Thought Bakinson was superb. Some harsh comments on Fadz too, thought he did alright.
Strange game, strange atmosphere. Even the cheer when we scored was subdued. Very odd.
Still, 3 points, above them lot, played well over all and controlled the game. Let's beat Mac and put a proper stamp on our promotion drive

I think Major gave the ball away once, an overhit pass in the second half. He carries the ball excellently, and drags players with him generating space for others. What is disappointing is his returns in terms of goals and assists, but does that really matter when you're third and the goals are coming from other areas? Not for me it doesn't

I wish people would get off Mayor’s back! He’s a superb player and we would suffer without him.
Bakinson did ok but he is far too weak and gets knocked off the ball far too easily. This will cost us goals just like it did at Macclesfield. I think he needs to beef up and get stronger
It seems are fans just love to jump on the bandwagon and have a go a player. Mayor is an asset in this team but just because he doesn’t score goals some fans have a go but he gives so much more in creative play

Disagree. I think TB thoroughly deserved his MOTM. Apart from the first 10 mins, where he looked v average, he was superb. Didn’t lose an aerial battle all night.
Cooper, on the other hand, was good with the ball but woeful defensively. Position and work rate good but terrible in the defensive tackle and got skinned every time!!
I think there's potential with Bakinson. I agree he gives the ball away too much, but hopefully this will improve with experience. He is always is available for the ball and doesn't hide. Also a great through ball for the second goal.
Hardie's best game for me, thought he was excellent.
As for Mayor he is obviously a very good player but you can't argue against the fact he hasn't scored enough for us this season.

Read your previous paragraph...it's exactly what you are doing...having a go at a player.
How many goals did Bakinson cost us last night? Scored one, assist on one and just "ok"?
I really rate Mayor and his consistent contribution each game, but I wonder if the problem for some is all the pre-season hype, giving the assumption he would be a replacement GC10, when in fact he’s simply a different type of player.
If Danny Mayor arrived in the same sort of way Carey did, or Lamerias, then people would be raving about him. Whenever we sign a player, I base my opinion on what I see from them in a green shirt, I don't like to compare their performances to when they were elsewhere, I think that's the fairest way. If you have to compare, then of course, Mayor probably hasn't (yet) hit the heights he did for Bury, but he's still having a very good season for us.
"All I can say is well done to Plymouth. They're a very good team and we're nowhere near as good as them at the minute. We tried to press them, tried to close them, but to be honest I got my team selection wrong. They were better than I thought they were."
Compare those post match comments with whinging Artell's, fair play Ollie.
