That's a very good description of us . My feelings entirely with all the points made however , i thought you were a little kind with Phillips, that is the worst I have seen him and Luca play together. Seen a lot of criticism about the strikers,however they worked hard off the ball and didn't get no service. Watters did OK in my opinion while he was on the field. Cozzy was outstanding.
No he does a lot more than that it's just a case if you want to ignore what he does or not. I like Marsh and he needs game time as he puts in effort, can play and gets in good positions to score and can score but Cosgrove Watters together look to be building a stronger partnership up front.
Worked very hard off the ball yesterday, as all 3 strikers did. Need better service before throwing them under the bus.
I honestly thought that lincoln were no danger at all until we subbed Craig and watters off for marsh and Russell. Also thought the subs were done too early on 55 minutes. Good 3 points regardless. Now see what happens this week in the transfer window.
Think too many folk jump to opinions that they are certain of, I think give it 5 maybe even 10 games, then make a fair view. It’s weird to me that some folk are happier with 60 minutes playing decent against Mansfield and 0 points rather than 3 points today. I do concede that last year we won many games with sub-par performances and supporters don’t want to see it again but just linking it to the season before is that fact we weren’t brilliant under duff until November. Yes, we need a striker and probably two of them infact. And we will get them, hopefully they’re good. But I have no doubt come the end of the season we’re in and around those play off spots. Beating Lincoln on their home patch when playing not so well is a great 3 points. Take that as a positive, the fact we can look a lot better but still got 3 points from a team we all expect to be up in the top end with us. You reds!
I always like to hear the opposition manager and players (especially after we've beat them lol). Here Micky Skubala, not surprisingly, is disappointed and saying how unfair the result was, etc.
Connell was definitely poor, but honestly I'm a little shocked just how bad Phillips was. His awareness was just non-existant, so slow to react, even when he had plenty of space. By far Phillips worst game. Genuinely would give him a 3
I remember a particular moment where he had the ball outside their 18-yard box, and he dawdled so much someone ran from behind him and took the ball off of him. He should have been more aware, but I'm not sure if any team mates called to him.
