Match thread

Quoted from Hagrid

Dont blame davies for this, he is woefully exposed 2 on 1every time they attack

......and who picked the team ? Only " super morphing power manager Russell Slade". If anyone thought that RS being appointed as manager would make  lot of difference are sadly disillusioned. MB should have been allowed to carry on with his vision of  what he required to make the club a force next season. A lot of criticism on the thread about Ben Davies but he was PH's solution to what we needed at right back!!! I hope that the summer signings will bring a new perspective to next season but I don't think " super morphing power manager "nearly man" manager Slade" will be the answer.

Well that didn't take long Ben Davis was the best thing since sliced bread first game in when he scored that free kick lol and I see Slades still got his knockers must feel like a kick in the maracas to the magnificent 1,200 travelling Amigo's though.

The players in whatever combination have not performed against teams that have been below them at the time, this under three different managers, it shows that the common denominator is that fifty percent of the players are not of a League two standard consistency and the squad requires better additions

PH signed Zak Mills and Danny Andrew add Tait & Magnay as well, I would suggest that he knows more about full backs than most of is having spent a 400+ game career playing in that position. Though Davis is possibly finished at EFL level the issue is more about there is and has been no consistent mid field partner to link up with any of our full backs this season thus leaving all 3 of them with far too much to do.

To be fair to Russ he picked a right back to play right back as Mills is injured what option did he have another "square peg"?

And yet we have competed more against better sides higher up the league. To me that suggests we don't have the physicality to compete against the more agricultural sides but have some decent footballers. Players like Comley get bullied but are decent when given more time and space. We looked very good against Yeovil because they hardly put a challenge in against us, yet struggled against Cheltenham and Barnet.

I think we have been pushed around a fair bit this season so it's a good observation Ginny, sometimes you need one or two bullies in a side I fail to see who plays that role for us. Also if you listened to RS post match today he mentioned the word mentality so maybe Marcus did have a point around mind set after all.

Funny league this as this morning we where 7 points ahead of Barnet who sat in 15th, watching the game today you would have thought it was the other way around.

As much as some will disagree, i think we have missed Gunning in there today.

I think it's pretty clear that we need more pace and strength in the squad for next season.

As has been noted, we've been bullied too often this season and need to add the physicality to make sure this doesn't happen if at all possible.

I'm sure Slade has an idea what needs to be done. Let's hope it's feasible considering how many players we'll need to get off the books to make new signings.

Nah, the little lad they had running the mid field and there general movement would have made Gunning look a tw@t I think, but I get what your saying. Though some have differing opinions I can't remember Josh Gowling being bullied by too many in his time with GTFC.
