There seems a similar patter to last year developing here - tinkering like last year until the FA cup defeat when it seemed PC had a word... perhaps it's time for the chairman to make another call.
It was the same starting 11 as Saturday so no tinkering went on - maybe if you have two games in 48 hours you should tinker a little bitBig E wrote:Similarities to last season - tinkering perhaps when not needed, unless injuries are the reason.
Guess it's not time to hit the panic button yet - but worrying early signs...
So what does he plan to do? Fatten him up? Surely this is a waste of resources.saltcellar wrote:Edmondson said Elliott Newby was fit but he is not physical enough (Bit light) at the moment.
Jason Walker is a skinny little ginger and he's done ok for a number of years. Edmo, you talk out of your arse sometimes, sorry .barrowfan wrote:So what does he plan to do? Fatten him up?

Edmo saying that today baffled me, We all know Football Speak is gobbledygook at the best of times & Yes he could do with putting a bit of beef on, But come off it Edmo, He should be your jewel in the crown to bring the best out of your under-preforming wide men, As in telling them if they dont play well in the 1st half they will be subbed at half time......Then if that worked, tell them give me a red hot 20 mins them I want to bring on young Newbs to help his development, After all as others have siad he has done the business when given the chance, Slowly increase his playing time while give him the diet/gym plan to bulk up some, win/win all round.GTBLUE wrote:Jason Walker is a skinny little ginger and he's done ok for a number of years.

Was JW harrying the defenders/midfielders leading them to hurry & get rid by aimlessly wellying it up field then when Grimes came on that stopped giving them an extra second to compose themselves and play better balls out thus leading to a better chance for them downfield.Jonty wrote:We have conceded more than any other team and it appears we have totally collapsed today. You could argue that at 1-0 up and in control he should be able to comfortably make changes during the game. Surely swapping Walker for Grimes shouldn't upset the balance that much- in fact fresh legs to go and get that second goal. Something is not right with the defending and if teams put any sort of a squeeze on us we go into panic mode- we are dreadful at defending set pieces. It needs to be sorted out or else we are going to get sucked into that mire. I did think Newby would feature at some point today and can only imagine he was out due to that tackle on Sat. If not then I have no idea why he would be left out.
Bringing Walker off and bringing on Grimes certainly was the turning point today as Walker was having a decent game and causing them problems holding up the ball and linking well with Cook, Grimes came on and the game changed completely. Halifax then pressed and put us on the back foot, as soon as they got their first the writing was on the wall as we collapsed and sat back leaking in three. Edmo must have his own reasons for tinkering but certainly backfired today and not for the first time. Some big questions now over Edmo on selection and tactics !!Jonty wrote:We have conceded more than any other team and it appears we have totally collapsed today.
