HoylandOwl Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Lee Gregory on pre match press conference duty LG: "We just want to bring on Sunday and bounce back. You have to dust yourself down and go again - we will do that. "They're in a relegation battle and this won't be an easy game. We need to go there and perform." LG: "We were a little down after the game on Tuesday and that's normal. But we're in today, it's a new day and now we look forward to the next one.." LG: "It's massive that we go out there on Sunday and get a result. It's all focus on this one game, not any beyond that, not any other team - just ourselves and this game on Sunday." LG: "The support we get lifts us massively, they turn out every week. They always give the team a lift. It's really nice to hear them and the support they give me and I want to repay them with goals and performances.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelters Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 For those travelling to Nailsworth just be warned there ain’t much there. Nearest station is Stroud about 5 miles away and that’s not exactly a metropolis either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Early start on a Sunday 😴. New ground for everyone. One of those “you want to be able to say you where there” days. We are very unlikely to ever play this lot again in a League fixture. I’ll be doing the Wednesday Wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Even more pissed off with Sky tossers, if that's possible. I'm sure someone will have posted about the coincidence a lot earlier but actually going through it on the day really brings home what they've done. Picking a club going as far as our lucky attendees are early this morning to have a lunchtime kickoff, made worse by losing an hour's sleep as we put the clocks forward, is just typical Sky shite. Once more, they don't give a toss about travelling fans. Whoever picks the games for Sky, may your fingers go through the toilet paper every time!

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Interesting that Vaulks is on the bench. More for me he was showing fatigue a bit on Tuesday and not his best game. Don't mind the James / Johnson pairing down the left. Not forgetting its 5 games in 15 days coming up or summat like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Yeah, it has to be management of workload dropping Vaulks and Famewo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It’s also a game where we will have a lot of the ball. James and Bakinson have very good distribution, Bakinson is a good passer of the ball. I think this game suits him more that Vaulks. James will create overloads with Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 We don’t need a back three. They aren’t really playing a striker. There is no intensity whatsoever from us. Especially with the ball, everyone is coming short and they are happy to send us to our right and allow Iorfa to have it, and he’s not willing to carry the ball into space. We’ve got to proper number 9’s up top and I can count three crosses. That’s not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Too pedestrian is this. Nobody running with the ball at them, nobody really demanding the ball. Look devoid of ideas. Whatever our tactics are, we need to change them for the next 45 minutes - and play with a higher tempo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 That's as bad as we've been all season. Even when things were 'indifferent' at the start of the season, that ranks right up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4ever1867 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Fallen into their game set from minute 1. They've set up with 11 men behind the ball to hit us on the break, all we've then go onto do is knock it around our back 3 with no pace to our game to get the ball down the wing. I'd give them 10 minutes in the 2nd half to get a fucking grip or 2/3 are coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Owl Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 That was by far the worst 45 minutes i've seen from Wednesday this season We are playing bottom of the league Forest Green Rovers and yet our attacking play has been Sunday league standard. If anyone watching doesn't know the league positions of the two teams, they'd think we're bottom given how pathetic the attacking play has been James to Flint, to Iorfa, to Flint, to James etc, we almost conceded a goal before we did thanks to that stupid play They've had 2 clear cut chances, we've had 0. Where's Sir Alex when you need him, tea cups everywhere at that lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I’d go to a back four. Famewo for Iorfa. Vaulks for Bakinson. Palmer, Flint, Famewo, James Adeniran, Vaulks, Bannan, Johnson Smith, Gregory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Crying out for someone like Wilks to be turning their defence. I’d say FDB but not if he plays like he’s not interested. I don’t think he’ll he change anybody just yet. Edited March 26 by Tank_Owl2,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
