Notts County Match Thread

[FoxesWalk]

Cullen is neither a midfielder nor a striker, weird player. I’d take him off for actual midfielder in Hamza, move Skipp further up, and bring Bristric on for Reid.

Jesus its 45 mins, the squad isn't settled as so many coming and going.

 

People are being melts.

We've got a pretty brain-dead fanbase, truth be told 😂

We paid £2m - £3m for Cullen? Not understanding the logic at the moment, hoping he gets more involved second half. 

No we didn't.

Are Top and Rudkin in attendance to witness this master class of football

I think we've been the better team by some distance, Braybooke came very close. A few shaky moments but overall we just need more cutting edge (Reid taking off for Bristric) 

Inevitably it will take time for this team to gel, we’ve been okay so far without creating too much. Bristric to lead the line is a must in this second half though, we look light up top.

You’d have hamza AND Skipp on the field?

No idea why this club has spent so long thinking playing without a striker is a good thing. 

Because Pep invented it, (before getting in a massive bastard striker.)

Sorry it doesnt fit your Leicester all doom and gloom outlook or did I forget we are half way through the season

Rowett on punditry 

[Donwebbio]

Same weak links in the team: Thomas, Skipp, BDCR & okoli who have all made mistakes in defensive areas. Alves , Braybrooke, Joseph played well. Cullen anonymous. Burns not had the ball. There is a lack of physical presence outside of the CB's.

1.7m in a position that we’re pretty stacked.

 

Mind boggling signing.

 

 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Some bad bits, but also some very promising moves! Alves has had an excellent first half, has looked a genuine threat, every time he’s had the ball, and thought Thomas linked up with him well.

Alves is trash 

You my friend, are wrong 

[Swarles Barkley]

Getting another centre mid in should be as big of a concern as CB

Is that how much it was. Decent amount of money at this level where you would expect a bit more output, early days obviously so we’ll see. 

[David Hankey]

This season is going to be a long hard slog. Plenty of possession, 5 shots, 1 on target.

Bargain in that case

we don’t have any other central midfielders on the bench… there is Howell, the child with no first team football… I suppose he might be okay, but know nothing about him.

[Skiddly Diddly]

First 10 minutes were a copy and paste of last 2 seasons . Dodgy at the back , loose under hit passes leading to nearly conceding.Look comfortable after that just lacking that striker to put the ball away .Alves and braybrooke look decent against this sort of opposition.

[JR99]

I'd have Bristic on for DCR, and I'd actually have Watson on for Cullen, Watson on the LW with Alves moving inside to more of a 10 position

Notts County being massively overrated though because they've ran around a bit. Chucked a few balls in the box, that's it. But that's what we are going to have to put up with. 

They had a good first 10 minutes when we looked very nervous

It’s all you’ll need though, we’re not achieving anything, just passing around for the sake of it. We will give up one clear cut chance for you. 

Not sure we have the person to finish one off though.

 

This Smyth fellow looked a bit knackered already.

 

I am not even sure who else we have

He will make changes.....and take off Alves you watch! 

He will because he's been booked and also because Watson offers a different threat.

 

Not for a while I wouldn't have thought though.

Everyone picking on Reid but he's done more than Cullen. Bristric on for Cullen IMO

Reid is occupying space that is preventing Cullen / Braybrooke from

getting into the game.

 

If he’s been asked to play as a 9 he primarily has to provide a threat in-behind.

 

At times he’s been as deep as Skipp!
