Some good points, at times we were very disjointed, not focused and neglected to stop Wallace... all game!
He did, but I still don't see a long term role for him there, certainly not as part of a back 4. Both goals last night came from our inability to handle high balls into the box - not blaming O9 here, but surely with Batth and Ballard we have a far better chance of defending set pieces O9 as the right side of a 3 could definitely work though
I agree. I don’t want him playing CB for us long term at all, but he’s done very well filling in. Positive news that Ballard played an hour for the 21s yesterday.
If we are honest about our structure, ie, TM MV and Doddsy the spy we have with respect very little get up and go on the sidelines. The look at how often we give the ball away cheaply, the one in the 2nd half Gooch giving it away then jogged back into our half was shocking. We all know Pritchard and the gaffer don't get on, but we should have 1 agenda, not a few.
I think the players were just as confused as we were at the starting line up, we were all over the place tbh and lucky to be ahead , I dont know how much Dodds has to do with things but I am not impressed at all by our game management, this game was probably the worst example so far.
I thought we were the better team in the first half and deserved the league but it was obvious WBA would come and and play better the second half. It was then going to be how we cope with them.
Always find match threads so interesting. Theres certain people who never post when we win but are the 1st to post when we lose. Its embarrassing.
So Pritchard and the manager don't get on? Any reason? Not that then not getting on should any way shape or form affect what one or the other does on the training ground and the pitch
I'm intrigued. Always gets picked. Given I've never come across it I wouldn't say its common knowledge at all.
I've never heard it either and don't think I have ever heard it mentioned by anyone I go to the match with
Any reason, I don't know how it started, Pritchard fell out as soon as TM got the job. I think its just a clash of ideas
Curious what Pritchard's ideas are? If they are anything like his set plays, they will either go out of play or hit the first man.
He gets picked cos he's the best we have. If an offer comes in, I THINK HE WILL BE OFF. His free kick and corners are shocking
In TM,s first home game, after AN had walked out, rumours were going round that the dressing room was in disarray, but Pritch played out of his skin in that game and raised the spirits of the crowd and the team, this does not suggest to me that he was in any way wanting to be away, just the opposite in fact, and he gives his all every game, at least that's what I see.
