Allsop 6 - Made one good save from the angle, the lad is slowing building in confidence as he gets use to playing week in week out.
Clarke 6 - Solid defensively for the most, however as we've already seen this season he isn't a right wing back and offers us nothing going forward. The wing back in a 5-3-2 is key to the teams attacking prowess, with Clarke we don't have any and this is to the detriment of the team.
Willis 7 - Solid.
Webster 7 - For once rather solid.
Reda 8 - You won't find a better centre half at this level, which makes me all the more convinced that we could play 4-4-2 now and still be defensively solid with a Reda and Hines/Willis pairing.
Haynes 7 - The lad has some potential, however although he swung in a few decent balls and set up the goal, as a wing back he needs to be getting forward more and attacking his man a hell of a lot more for the system to work.
O'Brien 7 - Getting better every time I see him, always looking to turn and go forward with the ball.
Thomas 4 - Goes sideways, backwards but never forward. Awful player, absolutely awful.
Fleck 7 - Superb tonight in everything he did, needs to be afforded more options going forward so we can really utilise his creativity.
Tudgay 6 - So isolated in the formation, great at holding the ball up but he gets literally no support and ends up going backwards.
Nouble 6 - See Tudgay plus decent finish for the goal.
It was a much needed win, however yet again I'm not convinced with the formation. I had a mate from uni with me at the game who played for Norwich at all academy levels and plays a decent level of non-league football. Like me he thought it was a scrappy 1-0 win in which there wasn't much to rave about like some seem to be. He was also perplexed at how we were set up, saying that you aren't going to get much change out of that performance for the rest of the season as the same things will keep happening. That the ball will go into the strikers who then have to rely on their ability to beat 2/3 men in and around them or they will either lose the ball or play it backwards. That when the strikers get the ball they need a CAM or full back going beyond to make the system work, which didn't happen tonight. We try and play short from the back but the ball just ends up going back and forth between the back five and midfield three, until someone either attempts to play a through ball through the eye of a needle or we go back to the centre half/keeper who hoofs it up the pitch and we lose possession
How many times did O'Brien or Fleck turnover the ball, run forward and yet have no one to play a forward ball too. We afforded Gillingham far too much easy possession, granted they didn't do much with it (mainly due to Kedwell missing who would have given our defenders a battle) but better teams in this league will punish us.
This is a play-off squad we have and we could easily be beating teams 2/3/4-0 if we set up in a more creative system. At the moment we create 2/3 chances a game, the strikers don't get service and the defence have to deal with huge amounts of pressure which can't be sustained over a season.
Overall it was a great occasion and a solid win, however a bit of realism from some is needed. If we continue to play this way we WILL come unstuck and I can't see us going up. I also saw people on twitter absolutely creaming themselves over Haynes, some calling Pressley the messiah and others lauding a fantastic performance. We need to come down off from this overhype/overly critical stance many seem to take, some can't see for looking and need (like Pressley will no doubt be telling his players) to take one game at a time.
Next game versus Yeovil
Allsop
Phillips Hines Johnson Haynes
O'Brien Swanson Fleck Coulibaly
Nouble Jackson
Pace, power and creativity, (Whilst being defensively solid) Wolves did it last year, nothing special 4-4-2 get the ball to the wingers who constantly supply good forwards who score goals who win games of football convincingly.
the players rose to the occasion perfectly!
