A quick summary from earlier today...
A good meet in the pub, though plod suddenly told the landlord to call
time at 215 with no warning. Big Al tried to persuade both plod and the
landlord to reconsider, but it was to no avail.
Slow out of the blocks from the start, we sat back and let 'em come onto
us far too often. One of those moments led to their goal. Was frustrated
to see us revert back to type and hoof it in the air, rather than try
and play football , aside from Clayton, Macca & Townsend who at least
tried to play football.
Playing it up in the air to the strikers can work if they're able to
hold the ball up and bring the midfield into it. Except we played
Becchio up front. His control was Palmer-like, managing to trap it
further than most can kick it. Anyone still disagreeing with Rich Walker
should actually try watching Becchio play for 90 minutes. Painful. I
think Forsell should be given a go with Macca next week.
After they were down to ten men, we should have gone for it at HT.
Palace left only 1 man up front, so we needn't have kept so many
defensive players on , such as Pugh and Brown. Going 3 at the back, and
also swapping Becchio for someone with slightly more control/pace could
have made the second half much more interesting. As it was, Snoddy was a
welcome sight in the second half, and got us our equaliser.
A draw seemed a fair result.
Having Snoddy and Townsend actually running at defenders was a welcome
sight.
Oh and SG should tell the likes of Brown & Pugh not to try blasting
shots from 40 yards out. They were in more danger of going out for a throw.
Back to lurkdom.
Wiggy.
