Wednesday was why there was a lack of tackles. If you mistime a tackle and have a card happy ref, you might miss Weds, especially with such a thin squad. Maybe not the right option by our players, but you can understand why.
Edit: Just watched it again and stand by what I said. Our players just trying to stand theirs up rather than tackle for fear of what it brings. I'd have taken a 20-0 defeat on Saturday if it means progression on Wednesday. Just unfortunate that being a Midlands exile this is one game I can get to. Had some great crack with some Darlo fans though.
Brackley V Darlington
Re: Brackley V Darlington
Maybe this is why it would be such a big win for a part-time team who can't afford any slack. Saddlers could compete on Saturday and came away with a boost also if their main striker plays he can't miss so many chances again. They'll fancy it but Quakers can do it which would be monumental.jjljks wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 11:05 am[*]poppyfield wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 10:50 amI wasn't going to but, I just watched the highlights , my advice is don't , it will destroy any hope you might have for Wednesday.
Thanks for the warning, but a bit late for me.
Hot knife through butter in the first half with a lack of tackles upfield & letting them run at pace down to our box, then took every chance they were given, as we didn't take ours. AA rang the changes & we looked better but they had lost their goal appetite by then.
Walsall will be licking their lips if we can't find the spirit we showed at their place.
