It is possible that our team is over trained which will show at the end of the games. Or even under trained but if that they would be too lethargic from the start.
I am concerned now as THIS IS HAPPENING GAME AFTER GAME AND APPARENTLY THEY CAN'T FIND A SOLUTIOPN.
Sadly that was not an unexpected way to finish a game. Yes the players were to blame for that terrible defending of their goal. However I also put it on Ralph as he decides how we are to play. Why with our poor record did we try to defend our leading position.
If true that McCarthy was carrying an injury why the hell did he carry on?
The sad fact as I see it is that last tail end we did not have the players that we now have. Our bench was terribly weak and that is why I believe Ralph struggled as severely as he did when making substitutions. Now having replaced seriously poor players with more quality we are able to react positively with our subs. Salisu is far better than any of last season's defenders. Tino is also a massive improvement and KWP is still one of our best players.
For anybody to say that the improvement in quality has less to do with Ralph's improving substitutions needs to wake up. Not having competition for places leaves players feeling safe in the knowledge that they will be playing week on week as long as they are fit.
Guess there is at least 3 of us 75yo's. my first game was 1952 at home div 3 south I thank against Rotherham. May have wrong team but we lost. I had every programme from home matches until I joined army in 1962 as boy squat.
Worst thing my dad ever did was throw away all my brochures and the Tiger comics which were also complete. even sold my bike .
true but 20 minutes is hardly enough to check them out as being a workable trio.
We have all seen players perform diabolically for a small period of time or appear fantastic only to disappoint.
