With the exception of Bate, all players from last season’s side.
Does that say something about recruitment pre season.

Which attracted similar criticism at this time last year and yet we went on to win the league.

Twas ever thus.

Re: Tonights team

My point exactly , some posters only look for a negative, when they don’t have to look too far for a positive

Bit like you with addai,yet not mentioning Ben's performances recently,especially tonight,can't imagine the grief addai would of got tonight with that performance.

Re: Tonights team

Quite the opposite really bungle, that would be me looking for a negative, which i rarely do with any individual player. All i have ever said is I actually see Ben as a better keeper at the moment. Regarding last night Ben made a couple of cock ups with the short back passing routine, reckon he had been watching the spurs v dungas game the night before. What I did say to junior was that Addai was dropped partly due to the short passing game at the back (which is what he was brought in for) and judging from last night we have asked Ben to play that way, which isnt his style, we have had possibly one of the best keepers in the division for the last 5 years, why ask him to change style.

100% agree. This brinksmanship goalkeeping is utter lunacy. They were at it last night too. It's like the emperor's new clothes. Someone has come along and said let's fcuk about with it at the back and someone else has said that's a good idea and now everyone's at it. It's just nuts and achieves nothing except utter chaos.

The older I get the better I was.

Yup. The only thing it achieves is more chances for the opposition if they're quick off the mark to harass the defence.

We've scored a few from other teams fooking this up, so I've no idea why we persist with it. If you're going to dick about do it in t'uther half.

There are other posters on here who have been much more vocal in their criticism of Addai than mreckless has, so you've got your aim wrong.

Who?

I don't think I've seen much criticism of Addai on here.

Maybe some comparisons to Hinchliffe but it's been constructive as they've both got strengths and weaknesses.

Definitely not "grief".

Re: Tonights team

Yeti has been highly critical of Addai; The Voice of Reason called him a 'clown' the other game too.

Not saying they shouldn't express such an opinion even though I disagree with them, but for Bungle to pick at mreckless for it is very misplaced when you consider there are much more vocal critics.

Re: Tonights team

Yep, guilty as charged. Replacing Ben at the start of the season was just plain wrong and I don't think anyone could disagree that the defence just looks more settled/less edgy with Ben. Take last night; Ben's errors were potentially calamitous but the defence pulled up trees to keep the ball out of the net. Ben's two errors that have led to goals this season were both down to brinksmanship goalkeeping (Everton u21s and Birmingham). He isn't good at it and at 37 never will be.

Addai's as big as a building and will hopefully make a great replacement keeper when Ben sails off into the sunset.

The older I get the better I was.

Re: Tonights team

Nobody gives Addai grief.

Ben v Corey

There are 2 (related but different) questions, both of which might be answered: 1. Tippy-Tappy play out from the back (starting with the keeper) OR an alternative tactic?, and 2. Ben OR Corey?. Plenty of opinions expressed about Tippy-Tappy - I thought Tippy-Tappy was quite effective at times for both teams on Friday but also ineffective at other times (eg. Ben’s misjudged moment of panic and P’boro turnovers when pressed hard by Woots + Collar). However, few opinions or suggestions or evidence is offered on here to support an alternative tactic to Tippy-Tappy. Hoofing it up the pitch may be the only option if Tippy-Tappy isn’t on, but was it effective on Friday? I’m not sure there was much evidence to say it was a more effective tactic. Is there a better alternative tactic to Tippy-Tappy? Not sure there is. I don’t think we can answer Ben OR Corey? until we first answer Tippy-Tappy OR Hoofball OR a mixture of both OR some other more effective tactic for playing the ball from the back. Keeper usually starts the process - did be pick best tactic? Did he execute tactic well? Did he consistently get it right/wrong?

That’s very kind - I’ll have a pint of bitter & a chip barm please

Re: Ben v Corey

The way you talk QC it makes me wonder how football got by for over a hundred years quite happily without it.

Re: Ben v Corey

I would say mix it up or we'll be too predictable.

Had to miss tonight’s game but sounded like it was a tough battle for the 3 points
Such a relief to get a win

We had the better opportunities but their chances came from daft mistakes from Ben. Possibly we just about edged it.
