Just seems to be a thing that managers don't start new signings, strange really as surely you bring in players to improve your squad then leave them on the bench for the first game.
Good game, speaking to John Maggs tonight to get his notes for Mondays programme I gather there was a nasty virus that affected several members of the squad and management that really affected things at training and during the match so when added to the sending off and soft pen we did well to come through this and progress to a tie against a club John spent 11 years at! Could be interesting!!
Thought it was a decent performance today without setting the world alight, against fairly limited opposition. Thought Kenny and Bailo had good games and Branco had an exciting debut but how vulnerable were we down the left. I'm sorry but Jordan looks like he is loosing fitness rather than gaining it and is just not fit enough to be starting games whilst Edusei was all over the place today and rightly boll**ed by Judge and dragged off 2nd half. Certainly missed Darby today but for me Timmy was MOM and he looks to be getting fitter every game. Good win and nice to be in the hat for the next round.
Does Kelly's 3 match ban now open the door for a return for a certain Sean Ray? Not sure Maggs has the confidence in Richardson as he put Tom Gilbert on at center back once Kelly went off.
thought it was a decent game today and quite agree left back was all over the shop still not sure jono is the idea replacement thou Was good to see kenny get a goal and thought bailo deserved his too As for branco first touch one on one lol Gotta say thou he made up for it and his positioning was great and can see him causing defences alot of problems the way he hangs on the shoulder Tim for me is getting better and fitter and was also my MoM Shame abt seans red card didnt look like he touched him Looking forward to monday we missed darby today i thought
Agree with Andy and John about Tim-thought he had a great game today. Jordan really struggled with the pace of the game while Danny's attempts at tackling always seem to end with a foul. Entertaining game at the Pilot Field and good to get a Trophy win plus a favorable draw in the next round.
