Can I now delete my comment about going 5-3-2 at 3-1 and going defensive?

Now that should help with our confidence. Over to you Barnet and Grimsby. Fingers crossed for Easter.

If McConville had scored into an open goal after Will Puddy had completely missed his kick (which he should easily have done), then things may have been a little tighter for us. That would have made it 0-1.
As it is, all's well that ends well.

Right then, reality check time.
3 points, honestly don't care how we get wins at this stage, so well done to all of the players.
First half, 4 shots on target, 3 goals, including one own goal, and one that took a huge deflection. But they all count. Also, many thanks to the ref for his assist with the first goal.
Comical miss by one of their players, rounded the keeper, all he had to do was slot the ball in, but deciding that being on a YouTube compiliation video of the world's worst footballers was a better option, he elected to kick the ball along the goal line instead.
Second half. Sat back, why? They got one but probably didn't deserve it. Last 10 mins they had to press forward, either they were going to get a second and make a game of it or we would score a 4th. Fortune favoured us today.
Chester defence were dreadful, so thank you very much to them.
Hope Irish was at today's game to see that having a more mobile centre back didn't change things for the better. Lockyer's distribution was no better but he lacked the physical presence to dominate.
Looks like Leadbitter can also play as an attacking winger?

I don't know what team was playing in the quarters today, but they looked very creative and potent, even during the bitty 15 minutes after their goal. Not the Bristol Rovers of most of this season
Ellis looked dangerous, although sometimes not anticipating his team mates 100%
Lovely touch by Bliss for Ellis' goal, and he almost did it again 5 minutes later

Can somebody enlighten me, the Lad the y had up front who scored played all the game with his socks rolled down and no shin pads. I thought the rules in all leagues were that a player had to wear shin pads ?

Looks like Leadbitter can also play as an attacking winger? i agree with most of what you say but i didnt feel we sat back,just that chester pushed forward and out numbered our midfield until dc switched our formation to 3-5-2,,,,lots of people say tom lockyer is a centre back but i do agree hes a bit lightweight for that position and i see him as a right back. we were clinical near goal today which made a nice change |

Looks like Leadbitter can also play as an attacking winger? I wasn't there but I am going to Kidderminster on Monday and am quite happy with a 5-1 win on balance I think! I did think it was interesting that Clarke went with Lockyer and left McChrystal out. Not exactly normal to change your centre back pairing after recording a clean sheet. I doubt it's to do with him sharing my doubts though - probably just squad management and not wanting to play an older defender for 180 minutes in 4 days if you don't have to. Has Lockyer played as many games at Centre Back this year as McChrystal-Parkes have played together? I don't know but it feels like Clarke mixes it up quite a lot anyway; I've seen 3 at the back etc. I've never made the case for Lockyer as a Centre Back - I think we need someone else if we go up, I think Lockyer will be a right back in the end. Lockyer doesn't have the physical prescence to dominate that position but he does have the mobility to cover in behind Parkes when he goes walk about which is quite regularly so I'll take the balance. His distribution is definitely missing though which I think is necessary for a more mobile centre back to have. But it's primarily what it allows your Centre Midfield and full backs to do; they can attack more and play further up the pitch if they know there's cover back there but you're not going to see that in one game; it's about a pattern of play over a longer term. Either way I don't you learn much about your Centre Backs in a 5-1 home win! |
