Quite right. "NO" Gilliead is perfect for every position in the team.

 

If that proves to be true, then at least we have real quaility waiting as back up in Doyle.

 

Spot on.

 

Yes certainly out of position which exacerbates the problem?

 

There is indeed. It will pan out over time. It’s about grabbing a chance. I think Young maybe about to do similar. His 30 min role at Barrow , the goal , and last night’s performance was pretty positive. I’m sure when Harratt returns we could see a partnership. How that fits who knows? The one I don’t quite yet get is Chapman. He should have buried that chance in the second half , yet his approach work was decent enough. The jury is out on him as yet..? One last point re Sutton. Don’t you think he’s pretty tentative an£ a shadow of last season. I wonder if it’s linked to his operation in close season?

 

Banks’s whipped corners and crosses aren’t seen in this division often.. Impressive! Along with Halliday crossing , it’s something badly missed against Donny especially, and Barrow.

 

I'd not noticed Gilliead was on the pitch but when you do take a look at him he is a very busy player who unsettles opponents.

 

Away, so didn’t see game but seems like a much improved performance. Good on Cook, I have doubted him at times, but you can’t knock 3 goals in one and a bit games. Sounds like Banks will be a real asset. Interesting selection puzzle for Hughes for Saturday.

 

He had one nice moment on the left side byline. Other than that, he's steady without over doing it. Considering he started off as a winger, I'd like him to run at opponents a bit more. I'm not sure he's the answer when we start to lose control in midfield though. Was good to see Smallwood getting stuck in. Should have done it more in the previous two games, and I feel this was his Hope Akpan moment vs Burton. Shouldn't need to be playing against his former club to get aggressive and control the game. Let's hope that this win has lifted all the players, and they come out with a similar attitude and performance on Saturday.
Slight footnote: Crichlow has had a few dodgy moments. If it wasn't for his pace, he'd have been in a bit of trouble. I thought he should have been sent off on Saturday, aswell as looking at fault for the goals. Yesterday he had a scary miscontrol incident, plus also could have given away another pen. Fortunately, he looks to have speed and composure when needed, and this gets him out of jail. I think I said it last week, he looks good on the ball (against Donny), but its when he's getting run at by forwards, we'll see how good he is.

 

I still don't care.

People saying it was a great performance. Over 90 minutes I say it wasn't.

 

In a good team performance, Angol was unlucky not to get a cast iron penalty but is he the game changer, the lad whom can unlock a stubborn deep defence, sitting in?
In a lacklustre performance I just don't see it. He's not a passenger but with non scoring /assisting players already in the team (such as Gilliead, East) he's not the correct option for me.

 

I have no complaints whatsoever over last nights great performance, just thought the ref got a bit twitchy the last 20 minutes or so.....

 

In what way Tony. He bottled the three pens for sure, (that weren’t) and he was in direct sight of one .?

 

Lets go where ? The pub ???

 

Look at Town's twitter. They lost 4-1 and are pushing this angle.

 

Due to all substitutions, and Platt was down for a few minutes.

 

Lee Angols agent is back.....

 

Behave. I've just said I think he's now behind Cook, and probably Oliver, for the central striker role. I think he's going to struggle for game time this season. Probably be used mostly as a sub.
