Best Of

I also couldn't believe that Bakinson was still on the pitch in the end. The amount of attacks he ruined with poor touches, poor passes, or poor crosses was almost uncountable. I was tearing my hair out watching him. There seemed to be lots of agreement on the coach home that he's out of his depth in this midfield

The problem for Bakinson is when he’s playing well you tend not to notice what he does, whereas when he has a poor game he stand outs.

He does love a lofted past that is 20 yards too long.

But I think we all know we had near perfection with the first half of the season middle 3 and are really trying hard to work out what's the best solution.

Simons hopefully makes a big improvement, but I am slightly nervous about how we're going to get Westy starting regularly.

Lowry does seem to be the long term Humphreys.

And Anders you think will be the long term mainstay at the back too

It's worrying to ask whether our 850k marquee signing is actually used to playing on grass!

Made me laugh though.

I think Berry and having Sadlier back may just add the pace and trickery to the front line that we need. 👍

I agree with your point re; Taylor and Sonny but I really think Rav needs to continue in goal for now as his performance at Cambridge etc deserves that. Eventually I think Norris will get the nod.

Usually two tosses.

I do love Bez, but yesterday for a while it seemed like he’d turned into a fouling machine.

Funny how opinions can differ so much - I thought Bakinson was our best player (followed very closely by the centre backs) and I was very impressed with him.

Also liked the look of Lowry, just hoping he gets a new song soon.

Really good team performance, hopefully an encouraging sign for the rest of the season.

I do wonder about the number of squad players we have who will expect to be playing games though. Thinking of the 9 strong subs bench yesterday, and the half a dozen we had missing as cup tied/injured, feel like there is going to be a lot of disappointment to manage. Really hope Dodds can keep the team spirit together.

After the game yesterday and having watched Tamworth v Spurs, think I’m in the camp that if they’re going to scrap replays (which gutted about), might as well get rid of extra time before the semi finals and go straight to penalties.

By the looks of things Bakinson is going to be the same as Franco with us all, a bit marmite as they say. Personally I agree with above, I think he looks a bit lazy, I wouldn't expect him to get anywhere near our starting 11 if everyone is available.
