Town face a tough team in Sheffield tonight. They have recently beaten Wald all and Chesterfield. However they've drawn with Gillingham 0-0. Town need to be more pressing across the pitch and don't give Sheffield any chances. Thankfully we have NKP available again, so it's probably that we have either NKP and whitbread in a 442 or add Smith to make a 532. Saturday's game seemed to work better with a 442, so that might well be the formation we see tonight. Give us you thoughts in the starting line up below. Floreat Salopia.
Did not go so cannot really comment on the performance but I hope that missed penalty does not come back to haunt us at the end of the season. With our home record we do not deserve to stay up and it looks about 50-50 now whether we do or not. I would like to see some consistency of selection from now until the end of the season - our players are not good enough to cope with three different formations in one game.
I think Vassell chose to take the penalty to get rid of his goal duck. Unfortunately he didn't score. Town went direct after their goal and it seemed to be working with JLAA and Vassell losing the ball up. In the second half Vassell went off and the direct approach was not working with Mangan. Whalley coming on saw, a change of tactic and again we saw some good chances. Unfortunately dropping another goal saw us starting to flounder again. Ogogo was probably the stand out player for MoM. He obviously got the goal, but also worked to tackle everything he could and also bring the ball forward. Hopefully his contract is being sorted out for next season. Thankfully sine other games worked out well for us, however we have a tough trip to gillingham and Wald all to try and gain some points.
I notice MM said he leaves the decision about who takes the penalty to the players on the field but I really think you need a pecking order sorted out beforehand. Our best finisher is Kaikai so I don't know why he is not the designated penalty taker.
