After a couple of days and the usual inane crap we've finally had a few decent posts on the game. For me thought we did enough to win the game. SWD missed an open goal at 0-0 and also forced a good save near the end. Newsh had the effort cleared off the line.
For me we generally are working harder and are looking much more solid as a team the longer Graham is in charge.
As I've said for a fair while Marshall is better than Silk, not sure why everyone has been sucked in by his reputation and not seen the amount of goals he's cost us by being caught out of position. To a lesser degree Jelly is the same. Couple the more solid full backs with Foster protecting the back 4 there massive holes that teams were driving through in the middle and down the channels have disappeared. The psoter who said Foster isn't what we need, not sure if he ever watched a game under Jason but that is exactly the type of player the team has needed, someone who breaks up the play.
The 2 centre backs had good games, thought Lister looked pretty good myself. The ground he made up and then the tackle to deny their striker who was clean through was immense.
Milnes progress continues, covered loads of ground and continues to get into scoring positions. His link up play with Newsh, SWD and Fairclough was great, they played some really neat football especially first half. Thought Lawlor did ok but tired.
Negatives? We seem to have swapped vulnerability down the flanks and the midfield area for set pieces. Never let this many goals from set pieces under Jason, both yesterday, first at Guiseley and both at Trinity were all from set pieces.
Last 20 minutes we seemed to have 1 tactic, hit it long for Jordan Smith to chase, up until then thought we'd played some decent stuff but that was far too simplistic, need a better plan b than that.
Bringing Foster in for Ross definitely means we lose something going forward, but the gain far outweighs this in the fact we aren't overrun in the middle.
All in all think we are going in the right direction...
