Why take off a defender and attacker n out 2 midfielders on! Where's the flamin logic in that!!! Hasn't he learned anything from Exeter game, the so called messiah is costing us points with his stupid flipping substitutions

FA19 !!...what DID go wrong ??...I'm on tenterhooks here !!

Kicked off 2nd half and it was all in our half, they then scored and that was it all we could do was hoof it up front only for them to win every header. Went close with a free kick right at the death but that was it. Got to say their finishing was pretty good though.

First half we passed it around nicely at times kee, mingola and mcconville doing well as well as there goals Second half we created very little with to much long ball for my liking. The defenders who have come in seem to only half clear the ball and have not as good a distribution compared to Davies. At least next game is only Saturday to get it out of our system.

SamF · 20-10-2015, 21:19

We were struggling in midfield without Crooksy - Josh cannot play that position.

Coley corrected the formation mistake at half time but by then Deano had to come off injured -think that was the straw that broke the camels back in terms of the defence - no way we'd have lost with Davies Deano Pearson and Bucko at the back.

Redraine · 20-10-2015, 21:20

Crazy game. We did our usual trick when Coley starts bigging us up in the media and missed a golden chance to consolidate some great performances with a surrender at home. Criminal to give up a 2 goal lead, but make no mistake, we got what we deserved. In the face of the Don's pace and deadly finishing we went to pieces and could barely string two passes together. Defence all at sea after the enforced changes but we weren't at the races in the second half. Good to see McConville's fine finish plus Billy hitting the net again but there was not much else to enthuse an improved crowd, many of who will probably go missing on Saturday. Halliday impressed me though, going forward at least, and did OK in defence. Pearson had a stinker and looks uncomfortable at left back. We badly need Davies back.

cashman · 20-10-2015, 21:20

Why did we start with a right back playing left back? ridiculous, assuming dino was injured then 2 ridiculous substitutions at half time, Bruna is never a full back, the other sub was proccy, who himself got substituted ridiculous again, The tactics ive witnessed better on playing fields with kids. 3 pts given away, imho.

Well Winnard was injured due to the off the ball stamp that the ref did,nt see Gornell to me was way off the pace Windass can,t play the deep midfield role add that to a completly decimated excellent back 4 and I think we did well to stay in the game with only 1 goal in it, they exploited our weaknesses and were faster to the second ball and I think shaded it on the night not too worried when we can score 3with all that happening we,ll be alright I,m sure with all our players back and fit.

So we don't have anymore defenders or strikers?

Outback Ozzy · 20-10-2015, 21:41

We started off like an express train 2-0 up after 10 minutes. What happened in the next 80 is beyond comprehension. We could and should have won that game easily yet we went to sleep and weren't at the races. Once again some strange substitutions. And once again Radio Lancs is at our game. Please don't come again. 5hat is 2 in a row we have lost when they are there!

Chrisr · 20-10-2015, 21:42

Sadly we don't have the quality in reserve. we started off lively two goals up 10 mins. This is it I thought. but it went downhill rapid from there on in. we were out classed. they were good for the win. we deserved nothing. every player had a bad night including the reliables. we can't stand any more losses like this. I just hope some of the injured are back sooner than later.

Oh dear !!,I thought there would be goals,but I thought we made a big mistake playing 4-4-2.
Good player josh but he's not a centre mid as tackling and heading are his strongest parts of his game.
We went two up and I don't think he touched the ball,
We knew how they would play and we had to defend the second balls,that's why two holding mids would be key.
I suspect we went that way to play Terry and it seemed to be working be we went more and more direct which isn't our game.
I know coley swapped it at half time and took terry off to revert back to our 4-2-3-1,
Three of our back four had never really experienced big Akinfenwa and his mate ,but they will know all about him now.
He's always caused us problems and you don't give cheap free kicks/corners/throws away.
They basically bullied us and a few lads went in their shells which was disappointing.
We are a better team than we shown tonight,but the formation and tactics played into their hands.
It won't be easy on Saturday either KTF

Very frustrated after tonight. The disruption to our early season excellent back four cost us tonight and showed up frailties in our squad. After a super start with two goals from Billy I thought that we would go on to get an easy victory. The ref did well in trying to play advantage but allowed Akinfenwa to get it away with even more of his usual pushing before the ball arrived anywhere near him!
We let them back into the game by taking our foot off the gas and gifting them a soft first goal. This gave The Dons the impetus to take the game to us and without Crooks in midfield they began to overun us. They started to play some really slick ,quick attacking football which we could not deal with and they equalised deservedly.
When we got the third goal with a great lay off from Terry for Sean to finish expertly I thought that we had weathered their storm. However, the enforced substitution of Deano at half time really affected our balance and shape. Pearson did not seem happy playing at the left centre back position and I don't think he made a proper pass after half time! Bruna was brought on at left back where he is inexperienced and he was under the cosh from the start of the second half. Was Terry injured or was the substitution 'tactical'? Procky did not get with the pace of the game at all. They continued to play a high paced flowing style of football and in the end they fully deserved the victory. The new lad Halliday did ok and played quite well in the second half when the rest of our boys were 'drowning' under the pressure!
Taylor was a real handful, how I wish we had a player like him!
Coley will learn from this I am sure and to his credit on Radio Lancashire he wasn't making any excuses regarding the injuries to key defenders! I will though!
We have now lost four of our five first choice players form the solid defence of earlier in the season. I hope that we can get Deano fit for saturday or else I fear we will have another match under extreme defensive pressure!

KEEP THE FAITH
ON STANLEY ON

Your diplomatic mate, the tactics were bloody abysmal.

I disagree we do have a quality bench and some good young lads but any side that loses 3 of it,s back 4 would struggle plus no Crooks,y who,s been immense and we still score 3 and but for a good tip over the bar at the death well, alright we did,nt play as well as we have been doing but compared to some previous seasons we kept going till the death I for one think we,ve a good side here and if we keep behind them plus the injured lads back we won,t be far from the top.
