Want to see the crowd up for this and the players as combative as they were on Wednesday. Football has to be quick tempo and aggressive from the start.
Don’t want to see Robins making excuses for tiredness, Simms lumbering around hiding amongst their defenders, stupid short hospital passes in...
Personally I expected Dovin to be more dominating in the six yard area adter all the hype. He’s a good shot stopper and a good footballer but I can’t say I’m impressed with the amount of times he parries and punches rather than catching the ball. Time will tell !
On another note, thats 7 out of 8 games now that we’ve not managed to score more than 1 goal despite a plethora of attacking players/options , why do we think that is ?
The ball in for the assist was sublime, Simms couldn’t even dream of playing a ball like that. Ellis needs to up his aggression and workrate now to keep his place.
Bassette will surely get ahead of timid Ellis at some point soon. Needs a couple of goals to top off the effort put in but adds a lot , especially when working defenders and creating space for his team members to run into.
