Agree that its good we have a settled line up so far.piearce9 wrote: ↑27 Aug 2022, 17:20Nice comfortable win to keep the momentum building.
I’m very pleased with how early we seem to have settled on a system and preferred line-up. I don’t think many will disagree that is our strongest set-up today and I kinda feel we just need to keep on going for as long as possible.
Perfect summary as seen through my own eyes also.juanillo wrote: ↑27 Aug 2022, 17:46A comfortable win and we should've scored more. I think saying 8 or 9 nil though is a bit optimistic. They had some very good chances at 0-2 but over-elaborated like us.
We were good going forward but rather wasteful at times
I don't think the defence got enough protection at times. There are better teams than St Neots that could have made us rue the chances we missed.
That's a really good question. Playing the formation we did today limits the opportunities for the 5 midfielders who would currently demand a place. I wouldn't like us to sacrifice any of our 3 attacking players to open up a 4th midfield slot at the moment. But different opposition's will require different formations I would guess, and at times we may revert to a back 3/5 which could then have them all play. Whoever doesn't get starting places could be revolved and gives us good options off the bench then, which currently isn't that strong. Great problem for the gaffer as you say. But all this reckons without injuries which unfortunately will surely come. And after all that waffle, I would HAVE to squeeze Manning into the starting line up somewhere!Rich wrote: ↑27 Aug 2022, 17:44Agree that its good we have a settled line up so far.piearce9 wrote: ↑27 Aug 2022, 17:20Nice comfortable win to keep the momentum building.

However dont think Manning is too far away from a return but who would drop out for him to come in as I feel he is a vital player for us?
These are the sort of problems the gaffer needs
But we could have been leading at least 4 or 5-0 at half time, if we'd have taken all our chances. Would you have bet on us not scoring more, in that position? Its irrelevant in any case, because we didnt and Im talking best case scenario...which is optimisticjuanillo wrote: ↑27 Aug 2022, 17:46A comfortable win and we should've scored more.
