A nice controlled professional finish now and we can be as happy as Larry.
Whoever he is.

Could do with some changes now, get some players minutes and others rest for Plymouth

 

[shmmeee]

Roland Nilsson vibes the way he plays but at LB

Sacrilege!

 

[Nick]

Are fourth officials allowed to tell players off? Was giving Bidwell loads then,

 

[fernandopartridge]

Eccles is a lovely footballer.

He is, he's got a bit of everything

This ref does some interesting stuff - he sees something he’s desperate to give a foul for and has the whistle to his lips but waits to see where the ball lands before doing anything. I thought if you play advantage you have to signal that you’ve played advantage?

A minute ago he had his whistle to his lips for a foul I think by saka on their player on the edge of their box, but waited and the ball landed with them so didn’t

Yeah for holding their arm. The same as what happened to MVE but he ignored.

Bring Ohare on and put him against their full back who's now booked.

Needs minutes too.

 

[Evo1883]

Eccles not having to cover as much ground I think you will really see him push on in this role

I actually agree with you

 

[Nick]

Looked a foul on Norton Cuffy but oh well

 

[clint van damme]

Foul on bidwell, no free kick

 

[The Philosopher]

Subs time. Cmon. Game on Tuesday- Godden needs a rest.

 

[Nick]

I actually agree with you

 

[aviles]

Bidwell has been outstanding

 

[Esoterica]

A few of these signings look like they will flourish in this system

Was just writing exactly that. The formation is bringing the best of out of a lot of our players that people were questioning if they were even good enough. Eccles and Sheaf, who people have accused of being too defensive and similar have willing runners in front of them and don't need to get forward for the formation to work, Bidwell back in from the cold and looks red hot, the ex-Barnsley trio look composed at the back, Saka in his best position looks comfortable.

Finally seeing the signs that the fitness is at the right level too. Saka, MVE, Wright, Allen all look like they could manage 90 today.

 

[stevefloyd]

Goddens anonymous this half

 

[Nick]

Wright didnt actually touch him

 

[shmmeee]

God give me the confidence of Matty Godden knocking it past a defender

 

[clint van damme]

Bidwell has been outstanding

Him, Eccles and the 2 CBs have been outstanding

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Da silva for Bidwell, Simms for Godden and O’Hare for Allen.

 

[Nick]

Imagine if Wright did what Godden did then.

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

We’re playing some really good football

 

[Mr Panda]

I expect to see a few comments on whatever that flick on from Godden was

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Hopefully the turning point, like the Rotherham game was when we first discovered 5 at the back.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I'd definitely give Simms some time in place of Godden as things are. Probably let O'Hare have some more minutes as well.

 

[The Philosopher]

Da silva for Bidwell, Simms for Godden and O’Hare for Allen.

Agree but Bidwell is good against BNC so keep him on.

 

[pusbccfc]

I am desperate, so desperate for Haji to do well but fuck me some of the stuff he's doing is atrocious.

 

[Tommo1993]

They’re so open between midfield and defence, we’re picking so many unusually easy passes.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Kitching looking every inch the new Fadz.

 

[OldBedrocker]

Wright is garbage. Every attack breaks down with him

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

What a touch from Wright

 

[JPG77]

Eccles has been superb today

 

[The Philosopher]

FFS Wright. He can run but that was a poor touch.
