The problem with the possession game is I always think we’re too concerned on keeping the ball and don’t take those half chances to shoot because we’re afraid of losing the ball. We need to eradicate that and use the best of both styles of play.
Gotta agree , I thought Jacobs and James worked well in the early part of the game overlapping but if we are relying on Grigg getting us 15 to 20 then the final ball has to be far far better than it was last night. How many times did players get into a shooting position and pass sideways or back ?. I t was similar at Coventry but their players did pull the trigger only for it to go wizzin past.
Abit er shooting practise wouldn’t go amiss and a bit less crab football
Not all doom and gloom yesterday having had time to reflect.We looked quite comfortable on the ball, but has some have said already, the build up was too slow and predictable. When we did inject a bit of pace from back to front, we looked threatening.
The other good sign for me was that GC had a plan B. Within minutes of starting the second half, he made a double substitution, one being Davies who gave us more of a direct approach.
Verdict: not the best of starts, but one that GC will have learned a great deal from.
One change for me would definitely be McNaughton in for Kenney. That owd head with young legs still, should be in the starting 11.I have to agree, I saw things in the last 20 that gave me some hope for the season to come.
And 100% McNaughton in is a must.To do nout you have to be played to prove your shite not left out or thrown out on loan. As someone once said on here (gobshite) he mustn’t be showing much in training to be left out.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the last time I looked their wasn’t a DIV1 Training Pitch League.
If he does nothing else but scores goals then he’s done what he’s paid to do.Why is it that everytime were linked with a new player up pops an article about another playing leaving ?
Does anyone know the figures on the clubs who have signed/released the most players ? we must be up there because every season for the past 3 we have not added 1 or 2 players but built a new team then expect to hit the ground running.
I expect Waghorn and Holt will be gone soon
He’s nigh on 350 first team games under his belt so his injury record can’t be that bad. And he’s had 1 spell on loan in the last 5 years. Almost all his loan spells were years ago. That could suggest he’s matured and turned into proper player.There’s an article from the club regarding Davies and his injuries. They mention something about him having “weak hamstring muscles” forcing him to constantly break down.
They said they tried just about everything in the book at Bolton to get him fit but they couldn’t get to the bottom of his hamstring problem. Nothing showed on MRI scans, no sciatic nerve problem so they hinted it’s more like his physical body shape (weak hamstrings) that’s the root cause of his problems.
He’s 29 years old and in footballing years if cracks start to show in your latter years then it’s very hard to eradicate them players and physio’s and tend to try and just manage the injury as best they can.
Do you not think Bolton would have kept him if he was good for 10-15 goals ?. They couldn’t get him fully and I doubt we will.
the article says it all,
Then there’s Rotherham asking a million pound for Matt Derbyshire, a player they signed on a free 12 month back.
And for me Davies is a poor poor signing, he suffers from persistent hamstring injuries which has blighted his career and wherever he goes he has always been thrown out on loan , ask yourself why.
Prank or no prank, shouldn’t the agent and Holt handled it abit better like speak with Wigan see how they feel ? I would have liked to have heard the rest of the conversation that wasn’t recorded. I bet it was all about Man vs Food
The only problem was when Holt said I’ll be fit Aug/Sept he didn’t tell them what he meant was, the last time he was fit was Aug/Sept of 2009 the porker
