tomphil Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I was pleased with the Bell signing as Williams had no cover and he plays every game so i'm sure he's carried fatigue and knocks at times plus loss of form. I thought he'd start taking DW off in games with ten or 15 to go to save his legs a bit or add some pace to that position in the form of Bell if needed and work him into the team that way. All he's done so far with Bell, Armstrong and Payne is try and accommodate them and alter things to suit. They are all good players and decent signings imo but..... Where is the plan as to why they were identified and signed ?

And how is being 2 0 down to 11 man Plymouth away from home a 'similar situation'? 2-0 down and 2-0 down. I did miss the last 10 mins bit. Apologies. As for Samuels contribution I will have to roll over to those who SAW, I only listened so am probably wrong. He.came on it was 2-0 game finished it was 2-0. Contribution?

To say that we have enough goal scorers to allow someone to hardly contribute is strange logic. Hes only been in central midfield since Shrewsbury, he was effective there but since hes been wasteful in possession and indisciplined and rash positionally.

We were trying to.win the game. Armstrong's header only just went wide and Payne's header was weak and he had time to take it down and place it in the corner. Presuming we are talking Bennett here. After the sending off we were basically 3 at the back with Bennett outside right. He wasn't really playing wing back. He was tho playing better the longer then game went on. However I would have risked the ire the crowd and swapped Graham for Samuel at the end. Just give them something slightly different to think about. Its ok saying he has done little lately but if you're not going to throw him on when you need a goal, what's the point of him being on the bench.

Against ten men you can juggle it round. Putting an extra striker on is another player they have to defend against and worry about. Especially as he is taller than anyone else we had out there.

No. We would have been 2 2 when Samuels should have been brought on.. And you also missed the against 10 men part.

Yes they'd probably have to move the handful of home fans but there is no doubt it helped influence their team on Saturday being packed in at ground level, stick em up in the air. I doubt 2000 Stone Island wearing Neanderthals made Nayambe shockingly fail to win the ball (twice). Nor did they make Mulgrew back off for 25 yards and let a guy shoot. We've beat many a sides with big followings and lost to side with no fans. Ive no objection to putting fans up in the gods, but we took a vocal 4000 following to Boundary Park and turned in the most repulsive 90 minutes of the season. I'm not sure it's as big an influence as you say.

I never said specifically v Oldham, but no need for the patronising comment. Where I sit is irrelevant. Contributes "in other ways" suggest that you dont have an actual argument. He has not contributed as much statistically as he should be doing with his calibre, I doubt his opinion on his lack of goals and meagre assist total is "we have enough goalscorers in the team." Youve summed yourself up with the quote "I just dont the point of changing things when we playing so well. " ...after preaching for weeks as to how youd totally change the formation to a 3-5-2!

Oldham second goal could have been stopped if Mulgrew actually close him quickly we might not have conceded but he kept backing off and off plus Raya should have done alot better than he did. As I keep explaining to you and something you wont accept as my opinion is different to you why I would change formations. The current 1st team match squad is lack proper wingers and we have 2 quality strikers and Dack. If you look at our second goal on Saturday what excellent link play between Graham, Dack and Armstrong it was. So if we actually them like that from the start we would create more chances. Playing 2 up front and Dack behind would create more space for Dack and Armstrong pace would give us a option in behind the opposite defence and force them to play deeper. Bennett and Bell as wing backs. Bell played that role for Fleetwood this season.and against us at Ewood Park earlier in the season. Travis performances means he must start with Smallwood. Lenihan, Mulgrew and Williams in a 3 man centre defence. Raya in goal. If.you dont agree @roversfan99 fine but thats my opinion

Yet Mowbray persists with trying to over complicate things. Dread to think how he'd approach a play off game
