It was a bad one. We need more quality up top. I'm worried that Adams sees Angol as the answer, which I think would be a big risk

 

Spot on. We need a quality striker. And I'd be interested to see Songo'o and Canavan as a 2, and whether that could bring Cooke or Vernam back into the side. POC is a liability

 

If Rupp wants atleast a few pennies back from his investment then he needs to throw some cash in in Jan, two quality players could make all the difference.

 

Amidst the controversy over the referee and 'gamesmanship:' from certain FGR players, one thing I did note was the impressive tactical switch by their manager at half time to get their side back into it. I was particularly impressed with Huddersfield lad the ex Guiseley player Jake Young. The goal aside, he was a very positive attacking midfield player.

One worth keeping tabs on perhaps especially as he is a local lad?

 

Totally agree Faithful. 2-3 inspired signings in January could totally energize our season. We currently have somewhere between 2/3s to 3/4s of a going up automatic side. So need more.

 

Where were you last Saturday night?

 

I can see us really giving it a go in the first 30 mins, we’ll absolutely batter them but wont score. They will have one chance and score, it will be a ROD howler.. the usual out of position and make a tame shot look world class type goal.. heads will drop and we’ll lose 5-0

 

do you think (assuming he's fit) that Callum Cooke will return on Saturday? I watched a bit of the match again yesterday, and the standout poor player was definitely Watt in my opinion. Midfield of Sutton and Cooke would set the right tone for an entertaining home game.

 

I feel sorry for you you mention ROD in every post and even when a game hasn't been played you try to attribute the 'loss' to him how about you grow up sad boy

 

My mechanic is called Rod. He's a far better mechanic than ROD is at goalkeeping though.

 

I forsee another Gretna/ Rushden scenario here, where a tinpot club gets bank rolled by a rich boy and sink into oblivion when he gets bored of his toy (although to be fair to gretna I think it was illness that caused their sugar daddy to go).

 

Are we allowed to scatter the pitch with blue beef

 

For me Canavan is the key for this game and hopefully for the rest of the season...

 

See Adams is saying he wants more goals from midfield.

He'll best sign some new midfielders then!

 

Agree one million percent

 

Why, are you playing midfield tomorrow?

 

Problem is we'd need some tacklers/energy around him. He also needs to shoot more.

I'm keen to see a central two of Songo'o and Sutton. Sutton seems to be our form central midfielder at the moment and Songo'o was allegedly brought in to be the missing piece of our midfield jigsaw so let's see what he can do now he's fit and match ready.

 

With you on all of this Offcomedun, except for a rest for Andy Cook. I think he's the kind of player who doesn't deal well with 'rest'. He needs to be out there all the time and feels an absolute slight when he's subbed. There are alot more goals in this guy this season.

 

I think you are mostly right Ulysses but surely the need to take into account the time in possession a players takes too. By their explanation then, if a player took the ball and dribbled aimlessly for the full 90 mins, possession stats would be zero for both teams?

 

Either way it's meaningless. Mourinho's teams often have low possession even when winning trophies.
