League Two Rovers (1) v Saddlers (3)

[ADD]

Hawkes in for Morris and Beloguan alongside Davies.

Still Norris and Jennings up front which I’m far from convinced of. Surprised Nigel isn’t giving Taylor some minutes

Indeed he really doesn't seem to rate Taylor does he. Also starting Norris J again at LB is strange to me. He isn't a LB. Do we really want to sign him to play LB?

 

[Sparky]

Think it’s clear Nigel doesn’t fancy Dennis. A natural goal scorer as we know but don’t think he’s the type of player Nigel wants for his system. A shame but that’s football he’s under contract but I’m sure we can move him on

Thought James Norris did ok on Monday but agree he’s not a LB. Pike or Merrie could have played there but suspect both of them are on their way out and maybe we fancy Norris for next season.

 

[Sparky]

Our left side with Beloguan Norris and Hawkes supporting back is a concern

Norris is a left back who can also play in midfield.

1-0!! Hendry curls in after an Apter pass

 

[Sparky]

McAlear hits the bar with a free kick

 

[Sparky]

Poor defensively down our left as Matt heads in 1-1

 

[bigmart]

Bugger

They deserve to be level after McGee has already made two good saves

 

[Sparky]

When they scored Nigel gave Hawkes an absolute rollicking.

Jennings and Norris are both passengers so far and we’ve created little overall

Belehouan at fault for the equaliser? Not at the game but it sounded like poor defending initially and Jean switching off.
How much of a factor is the wind?

Except when he played for Liverpool U21s the year before he joined us he never played LB. Played LM or even left wing.

Matt got in between Belohuan and Davies but it was Jeans side so he probably should have picked him up. The cross came in too easily

 

[Sparky]

2-1 as a wide free kick goes all the way in. It’s been coming as their keeper is a spectator.

 

[Sparky]

The attacking set up needs changing as we’re creating absolutely nothing and if they get a third it’s game over. Nigel has got it wrong again with selection as Norris and Jennings are easily dealt with by their defence

 

[ADD]

Oh dear. Comedy goal.

 

[Sparky]

Unbelievable that Saunders on but for Hawkes and it’s still the same two up front. We’ve got a 20 goal a season striker on the bench in Dennis plus Sam Taylor yet Nigel is flogging CJ and Norris

 

[Sparky]

Oh dear. Comedy goal.

Ditto.

1-3

 

[Boz]

I don’t understand Adkins reluctance to change things. Not a great deal he can do defensively but plenty of options up top.
