He is good at all.

Was making headless chicken runs. Left the midfield exposed a number of times. Can’t tackle, passing basic level.

Just not good. What more is there to say other than he’s shite

If Sutton is getting into the team then when we talk about automatic it’s not happening. He’s needs to be in the stands.

I get he has drive and passion but that isn’t good enough on its own.

 

Has anything been said about how long Walker will be out for? Is he out until Jan? Didn't realise it was that long. He's a big miss.

 

I agree we were toothless but we were in complete control and could have played goalie when needed

 

Both centre halves were absolute monsters and the fullbacks weren't small either. A big unit of a team, that will do well this season.

 

I was impressed with their number 5 Daniels he was involved with so much with regards Walsall game even getting their goal, as you say when you have two big lads like that it's difficult to make the ball stick when played up to Cook, we needed to get round the back as we did with Cooks goal or bit of individual skill like the second from Young.

 

Agree bigger tests coming. I think we could do better than that.

 

Tranmere seem to be struggling a bit so far

 

Think that time has arrived don. In for Crichlow for me.

 

Agreed. Great advert for L2 and in fairness we too could and should have scored more. Wouldn't want to be Flynn's missus when he got home

 

Mansfield, etc will be more attack minded, meaning we will always create chances as our attacking players simply have more room.

I'm not dreading any matches. Of course we'll lose and of course we'll play poorly at some time - but that's L2. Look at Forest Green at our place last season.

 

Agree with that. Never going to concede, never going to score. Hence, 0-0 was a fair result in both games.

 

Spot on Dennis, as usual.

 

not long after between both incidents ????? Yeah just an extra 37 minutes and you seriously think that wouldn’t have made a big difference ?????? Least the Donny manager could get them sat down and told them all what the plan was due to Tomlins red card being just before HT ..............

 

looking how bad there getting it in the Premier league then you wonder why we end up with this shite at our level

 

Not sure many would be happy with that if we used those tactics only one side tried to play so only one side deserved the win in my opinion. Not that I thought we played brilliantly

 

He acts like one of those dodgy scout leaders, making sure lights out in the tents are at exactly 10 O'clock. If he was a traffic cop, everyone would be getting a ticket for going at 30.1mph and he's be telling his colleagues how great he was with his 'arrest' record.

 

A ponce?

 

I'm not having this criticism of Sutton even though he's not my first choice. I expected a 4-2-3-1 but we seemed to run the whole first half as 4-1-4-1 with him running his socks off because others weren't putting the effort in. He was knackered in the second half.

I dont know if it was meant to be 4-1-4-1 or it just ended up like that because the 3 attacking midfielders were making little attempt to close down their back 4, especially the fullbacks who pushed high and were still left too much space. Cook was trying to press on his own with zero effect. Sutton quickly ended up higher than the other 3 and it helped a little bit but we were still mostly under the cosh. I was calling for any of the other 3 attacking midfielders to be subbed at half-time for lack of defensive effort then Young went and scored a worldie. I suppose he earns the right to be next week's luxury player that we can carry but they all need to pull their fingers out. Their first half closing down was very poor and Sutton should not have had to cover their lack of effort.

Very well done to the defence for conceding only a flukey comedy goal with only Smallwood protecting them at times. I'm not sure it's fair to criticise any of them (Critchlow) either when our opponents were given so much space to operate in ahead of them and they occasionally had an extra unmarked man to deal with. Sometimes the defence looks dodgy because the rest of the team is not keeping up with its defensive responsibilities. Get all the midfield protecting them properly again and Critchlow might turn back into the player we don't want to lose in January. He gets a pardon from me for this game because I saw too much laziness further up the pitch. We can't carry so many players not working off the ball and I'd drop at least one of Saturday's attacking 3. It won't be Young if he regularly contributes goals like that , though!

 

The referee stuff is pathetic most of the time.

 

Sutton has been bypassed technically by the squad. Running around like a semi headless chicken and running one’s socks off don’t make a footballer . His limitations , of which there are a lot , are there to be seen. Let’s not get carried away he’s improved……he hasn’t. In fact the complete opposite. No on has or is questioning his commitment by the way, me included, but technically..meh!
