With Warren Feeney away on international duty for the next two matches who will Peter Reid put up front ? Will it be LeCointe or Hitchcock or will he play both together, something will have to change for these two games. With Hitchcock well into his three month loan it's surely now or never to play him.
I think both together. They are both too in-experienced to play alone in attack. Alternatively he may play them in 4-3-2-1 formation with Daley and Atkinson coming in off the wings to attack. Whatever he plays them in, we will need the boys to have a pretty special day to overcome Exeter. Perhaps the idea that it is a Derby Cup match will spur them on.
Got to go with Hitchcock and Lecointe and see what happens in the end result doesn´t really matter it´s the perfect chance to give the pair of them a full game and see how they do.
This is a nothing competition ergo he can have a go at any formation to see what it looks like. There has to be 2 upfront end of. I am bitterly disappointed with Daley so far given his fairly impressive pre-season. He passes the ball back and then stands there instead of heading off down the wing for a return over the top. I have watched him do this time and time again and it really winds me up. I know he is young but he doesn't seem to be learning so far.
From what I saw Sensilbe they seem too scared to lose the ball I know Reid will be drilling possession into them but safe balls all the time won´t win games, in the final third you have to try and make that 50/50 pass and hope it comes off. Daley and Berry have to get the right side sorted out they are both quick and have the beating of a player so that should be our main threat, final ball was awful from games I saw.
If we could pass the ball for 95 minutes we wouldn't lose. Now there is a novel tactic. It has been the same every game so far mexijan. Pass pass pass and no end product. There is nobody to kick it long to at present so this is the only way we can play. We have conceded at least 4 goals in my memory which were fairly route one. As much as people say they don't want hoofball, there are times when it is effective and needed. There should be a mixture and we need somebody who can do a Mickey Evans if not a Fallon.
I thought young Jared Sims did alright against Millwall. I've a feeling Reid may give him another run out in the JPT - or did I hear he was injured?
I went to school with Sims (albeit I was a fair few years above, know his brother better), can't beleive he is now running out for the Argyle first team. Simply got to go for LeCointe and Hitchcock tomorrow. Both looked decent in pre season, and as has been documented 1 up doesn't work. Hitchcock is not happy and being left on the bench, and what I wanna know is, tactical or not showing something in training?
Sensible...........not possible to keep the ball for 95mins..........they will have the ball at the kick off of one half unfortunately........we might have to buy a second ball. We wont mind them having it to restart if we score...........but they've got to let us have it back straight away, only fair innit.
