Sand Gropers Friday Night

[FFC Mariner]

Sadly. The formation is beyond the players we have. Their level of fitness is noticably lower than other teams and we get bullied and harassed off the ball too much.
Can't wait until a massive clear out at the end of the season and I wouldn't be totally shocked if that clear out included the coaching staff.
That's a guess but if nothing changes why would they stay? if (if) we get some money they aren't covering to themselves in glory to impress new owners.
Moss lite following Monty and Serge. When they had to recruit, they couldn't.

I reckon Jacko will want citizenship so he'll hang around a while, whether that is with us or another Aleague club though....

He's obviously got no money to spend. If you punt the likes of Wilson and Smith who are you going to replace them with? More youth I suppose.

 

[Allreet?]

Cant sugar coat it we were trash tonight. Paull, Sash and Kuol were OK everyone else was sub-standard.

Impossible to do a 321 as they were collectively so poor.

Eames did pretty well, I thought.

We were a hard watch though... lucky point in the end.

Missed the point entirely, surprise surprise their goal is a Wales assist. Certain folk bagged him out here saying he was no great loss and glad we didn't sign him and he doesn’t score goals. My view was he's very strong at assists (which we need) and lo and behold our cheapness to not sign him has cost us 2 points tonight as he provides the assist to Taggart.

No. The point was that we create assists.

What we need is a clinical goal scorer. Or a quality centre midfielder. Or an experienced GK. None of which Wales is.

In a team that is unbalanced towards wingers - Mauragis, Theo, doka, ngor (before the loan), faisel, the temu Ronnie.

Even Sasha, storm and de lima are utilised as wide options.

I get you only have 1 point of view - Paull shit, Wales super. And just because you like them or don't like them determines how you see them regardless of what happens on the field ( was really surprised you and the rest of the anti Paull mob didn't jump on him after the goal tbh).

Lots of things cost us 2 points tonight and none of them was our decision to not sign Wales. He did 1 thing all night and then disappeared - hence he was hooked.

You're funny.

You're funny.

Paull was fine in a shit side. Wales is as lazy and half arsed as he ever was which is why he has never kicked on.

Was there something about Cummings?

Was there something about Cummings?

Just watched the presser - apparently he was in the crowd but the club hasn't spoken to him and Jacko doesn't think he would be interested nor that we could afford him even if he was

 

[Ironbark]

We could REALLY do with a player just like him though

 

[Ozhammer]

Jacko doesn’t know Cummings, so they would have no direct relationship that he might be able to leverage.

Unless we can somehow get the Garang deal over the line, or a similar game-breaking type of signing, I can see it being a real grind to the end of the season.

Should we make the six somehow, we would need to be going into finals with momentum, as trying to just grind out result in those games would be a bridge too far I fear.

Wales got ahead of Eames through the middle and Brian had to come out of the defensive line and try to block the pass. Trent slid in but Taggart is a quality striker. It was early on and from then on Steele held the middle and Eames played wider negating Wales
