It will be very interesting to see if ML continues to spend to try and improve the team, or whether he will have had enough of wasting his money on buying players. Even more focus on the academy next season may be his way forward and leave Duff to get a tune out of what we have.
know more than you think, can see when certain players are not good enough (Allem, Woodrow as a 9, Grimmer) and the coach is poor and too negative to.do anything with us, hope.he move on
I would have no issues with him having a run. Id like to see Lowry at 10. I think he can actually thread a pass or Mullins, though he us better more midfield.
I want Fink to play, just to solidify one reason over the other. Im not fussed about Lowe unless we are signing him ( i would)
If you did want to criticise Duff, and this is even with many big home wins, it does feel like the goals are more individual moments of class, rather than well worked team play.
Again, its just a feeling on sight, but id be interested to know what our average xG is, compared to how well weve performed. At this moment, I cannot be arsed to look it up
Reach was great at left back when allowed to play there. Dodds decided to play him as a right sided playmaker because he’s an idiot. Lincoln are top of the table and outstanding. Reach starts every game. No one can claim it was a good decision to let him go for free. We’ve signed a bunch of bozos instead. Reach also could’ve replaced Boyd-Munce like for like today but instead Duff opted for a formation change. Poor recruitment.
Positional cover experienced pro. That’s why Lincoln are where they are. Reach has 500+ EFL apps, most from midfield. We’ve lacked midfield grit all season. Harvie shouldn’t have to play 40+. He was also our worst player today. Maybe because he’s knackered after 40+ games. Two of which in quick succession where he’s been crap in both. He’s a superb player. But it’s poor planning. Who is his backup?
Allen is LB cover i guess, he played there when needed.
Reach may have been a miss. I just didnt really see it, and im still not sure it would give us a big difference.
I also wonder if he would have wanted the upheaval. Hes a North East lad, generally played in the North or Midlands. Like Bradley a move into leafy Bucks wasnt needed at that stage of his career.
Unlike Morley and CBM who seeming embracing it ( im on insta, I accept im old for it though).
I do think, ( was it you who said it?) starting a season with CBM and Morley in the middle will be a big thing though. If we can build around them, with Hendo and Mullins, we do have a shot.
That was an awful 2nd half. Didn’t think Bradford had enough to beat us and, as silly as it sounds after a 2-1 loss, don’t think Bradford were better than us.
Looks like three injuries with no wide attacking options on the bench did for us today.
As bad as I thought the ref was, I don’t particularly think it helps anyone’s cause constantly moaning about his decisions to him, every time. He’s not going to change his mind, or help you on the next decision.
That goes for those WWFC representatives off the pitch as well as those on it.
A semi-wise person told me that some posters have just got it in for some players? I wonder if that statement can be used for non-playing staff too…. ?
