Make no mistake Saturday was horrible, but if you throw away your ideals and principlas after any setback, well then they arent really ideals or principals are they?
Some things appear self evident.
Possession across the back three is pointless if all that happens is a long punt which then comes back....
Slow build up allows the opposition to organise and mark more tightly
Better players at this level mean we have to be more clinical in executing. Mulgrew absolutely dominated the back line for them, and found time to score a goal from a. set piece....
TBH I think two quick goals meant we had such a slim chance to get back, especially as Camara was withdrawn and was the only midfielder we had who might run the ball upfield...Fornah doesn't , Grant doesn't and in his quietest game so far Mayor didn't. Unfortunately his best moment was the shot which could d and possibly should have made it 2-1 and which might have turned the game.
Fleetwood also negated our wing backs totally....hardly recall them getting on the ball.....
Nouble and Telford is not as effective as Hardie and Jephcott, and I would say Nouble is an impact sub based on this seasons performances....Telford is just a sub so far....
We don't have a centre half who can run the ball out to change the picture for the opposition midfield....well actually we do but he isn't in the team that often as Scott Wooton can do it....
I also think Reeves for Camara would have been a better switch as d from the limited time we have seen him he likes to move the ball forward....and keeps possession.
For Tuesday I would bring in Reeves for Camara, Cooper for Moore ( probably if only because off the law of the ex) and swap out the forwards returning to Hardie and Jephcott. On the whole I like Opoku and Watts Anas defenders ( although Watts is not. left back by any stretch) and I am indifferent between Wooton and Aimson which disappoints me because I thought Aimson was going to be a major upgrade now fit.
