Sadlier

[Buzzberry]

Any idea why he's been on the bench last 2 games? I mean whenever I've seen him play he's always one of the best players on the pitch so surely you'd think he would be starting?

[sha66y]

Ya can’t rush a soufflé !

I personally think DM is testing the strength and depth of the squad even now,....and is quite impressed that he can have great players like Sadlier and May to either start or come on ...

As someone previously mentioned ...the back four are set in stone, but the front six need to be totally flexible...

[dknward2]

Expect him and May will start on Tuesday night just to mix it up a little

[wabtec]

For me we picked a team to do a job at Ipswich which they did, although I cannot help thinking that having set our stall out to nor conceded and getting at least a point, we should have come away with two points and that our finishing on this occasion let us down.

Then side for me was I think picked with an eye on the Blackpool game which is just as important, they lost yesterday so will be looking for a reaction on Tuesday night so another big performance will be needed and I would hope that we would go out at home to take the game to Blackpool so would expect changes.


Newdonny Darren Moore did not set out not to concede he set out to win it,if you were there yesterday you would know that we played them off the park in the first half with quality football and matched them in the second half.

Then we saw the game differently Wabtec as I saw a different game in front of me up there yesterday to you.

I am not disputing we were the better team on the day but we did not play them off the park and the team we set up with was done with protecting the point and nicking the win if we could. We started very well moving the ball around but they came back into it into second half of the 1st half and could have gone in a goal up. That said we too should have taken our earlier chances, Taylors glaring miss being the obvious one.

I agree we matched them in the first 15 minutes of the second half but then we started to fade and needed to make changes as we were running out of air and ideas and the ball was coming back at our defence regularly. The changes added fresh impetus and we created a good number of chances but then in the last 10 minutes the game became a bit ragged and a lot of long ball was evident and the game went from end to end.



But did we play defensibly like you said we were set up to do?Imo not at all we outplayed a top team for most of the game,just think what would have happened if we had set up to attack in your way of thinking.

I think he is looking at fitness levels and who can make the biggest impact to change a game off the bench aswell as last 90 minutes from the off or give a very good 75 mins..

How we set up and how the game panned out are two very different things Wabtec.

For me Ipswich were very disappointing yesterday, I expected more from them to be honest. Norwood was isolated upfront on his own and the speed down the flanks that they play with normally was non existent, very long ball which Anderson & John were able to pick off.

Two ways to look at what you are saying Wabtec, although I don't disagree with you, but yes what might have happened? We might have converted those missed chances and come away with three points, on the other hand we might have opened the game up fro them to get in behind us more, we won't ever know will we?

I predicted a draw and was quite happy with that prior to the game but like a lot of people have already said both on here and on other social media, we should have taken our chances and come away from there with 3 points and I feel the same way tbh as does the manager if you listen to his interviews.


we did not allow Ipswich to play our passing and pressing stopped them for most of the game,thats why they they looked disappointing

yes we missed chances but that was nothing to do with how we set up,you said we set up not to concede goals,I hope we set up to do that way every match

from what I,ve seen and that is every game this season,Darren moore is improving this team week by week we have a great chance of top six and maybe more,

You can't get 2 points from a game it's 1 or 3.

That awkward moment when two people keep trying to quote each other in a discussion and neither of them have a f-ing clue how to do it

[younggar]

Fitness levels? Jon taylor wa blowing after n hour

[jackthelad]

Makes a hard read this thread with people not knowing how to quote. 

As for Saddlier, I too think he's one of our best players. He will have a big part to play this season and will help out with a few goals I think aswell, He will start on Tuesday I think.

Moore probably went into the Ipswich game wanting to be a little bit more reserved and to ensure we didn't lose and get picked off to easy. That's why I think Blair was brought in, to help Halliday down the right.

In a game where I think we will be trying to start in the front foot I expect a couple of changes probably.

You would have thought, by now, that we’d all know better than question what the manager is doing and why he is not selecting a, b or c!

We’ve played 6 games and some have been against (so-called) fancied teams in this league and guess what - we are unbeaten! Thank goodness the manager is picking who he thinks is right for a particular game.

I fully appreciate this forum is for us to discuss players and tactics, etc, etc, but nobody can fault what the main man has achieved so far, despite us not acquiring all the ‘tools’ that DM wanted to complete his squad.

With the 3 points that the EFL should be awarding us, coupled with (what could have been) an away win at Bury, we’d be sat proudly on top of the league. Whilst we don’t get anything for being top midway through September, it would have put some perspective on what Darren Moore has done, in such a relatively short period of time. I sincerely hope this is an indicator of what is yet to come, given the upwardly mobile form our performance curve is looking right now.

Alan, don’t forget that some of the teams above us might have played and beaten Bury too.

[Alan Southstand]

Yes, Hound, you may well be right, I havn’t checked, but it doesn’t change the fact that we could and should now be on 18 points, from 8 games (which is more than 2 points a game, by the way). All the teams who have played 8, of course, will not have had to play Bury yet!

[selby]

  Nearly all of the problems will be  settled over the whole division by the end of the season. Unfortunately the only team that will not be able to say it never affected us is ourselves, with the Bolton situation being a situation looking out of our hands.
   Whatever the outcome, there will always be the question of what would the result have been if the game had been played?
