Not too much good to be taken away from that 90+ minutes but lets get those views and comments flowing.
Last season we had Mantom, Milligan, McLaughlin, White etc in and amongst them. Look at the game vs Lincoln that we won. Perfect blend of experience and youth. We’re totally unbalanced. I don’t blame MM’s formation today, I blame poor decisions and poor work rate. Maybe due to inexperience, lack of confidence or lack of fitness. Whatever, it needs sorting sharpish and we need players in there with experience in key positions. Centre back, right back, up front we were weak today. Elvis had a shocker so did Kelman and Goodship. But these players shouldn’t be nailed down starters in the first place. I don’t blame them, we’ve hardly got loads of options.We were not even this poor under Sol. So let's ask why? For starters MM is persistent with this 4-4-2 system, which is evidently not working. Way too much expectation and responsibilities on the players.
It's frustrating because some of these players really aren't bad. I saw Gard play very well in a couple games last season, Clifford got player of the month just before lockdown. Kinali started to pull up trees.
These young players drew 4 games in a row, beat lincoln at home and beat Bristol Rovers at home all in the league above.
So what has changed? I am not afraid to throw some shade at Molelsey today. I would love to know why he is persisting with this system (which certain posters called out in pre season that it wont work). Also a bit insulting to us who have payed a tenner to watch this and he takes off all strikers so we end up with no forwards??
Do not get me wrong, the buck will always stop with Ron. This is his doing. But, Molesley has to face a few questions today.
They are professional footballers,they get paid to play football,and they havent been thrown in too early as they was playing in league 1 and performing ok ?Too easily knocked off the ball , but they are youngsters who’ve been thrown in too early so I’m not going to get on their backs.
Just so sad we have come to this , especially as I actually thought Carlisle were awful and will probably be in the lower half.
Better than last week. Green shoots emerging in some areas of the team with McCormack's influence clearly visible in the first half. Going to take a few more weeks before we see some returns on the improvement.
But have they been paid I wonder?They are professional footballers,they get paid to play football,and they havent been thrown in too early as they was playing in league 1 and performing ok ?
