Ian Evatt is tactically not very good. Let’s just stop pretending otherwise.

There just doesn't seem to be any recognition of, or reaction to, what's happening on the pitch.

nicholaldo

I’m very much in favour of us retreating into a low block and punting long balls forward for Baka to chase because we seem to have lost all ability to play football tonight. Grind out the win and get the feck out of here. I've thought similar. With no midfield we have no control so cede possession,...

I mean even that decision to let Comley go seems bizarre right now

He surely couldn't have been worse than Thomason tonight.

nicholaldo

This is desperately poor.

nicholaldo

It looks like we've changed to a back three.

nicholaldo

Evatt confirms Politic has "politely declined" our contract offer and no further talks have yet taken place.

He also suggests Sarce's exit might provide an opportunity for Darcy but he has to return to the club and earn it.

nicholaldo

Over 13,000 people attended. What an absolutely fantastic turnout.

nicholaldo

Oh mate, I know. But the point I'm making is that when the opposition have been stronger, when we haven't had capable wing-backs, when we haven't had physicality up front, our approach has barely shifted. Evatt doesn't have to abandon his footballing principles to adapt our strategy against more ca...

nicholaldo

Yes, but the point is that we've been slow to progress upfield when we aren't playing with a defensive mindset. The domination of possession might in theory reduce the risk of us conceding (although we've conceded an alarming number of goals so far this season) but I can't help but feel it's unduly...

nicholaldo

With Evatt's style of play, more defensive football will necessarily produce slower tempo play - because tempo increases risk and Evattball's defensive strategy is based on possession. When you are as expansive as we are, you will have huge gaps when the other team wins the ball as you attack. If y...

nicholaldo

One thing I do what to highlight is that during the course of the last two matches we've scored two excellent goals by getting up the pitch quickly, with one or two touch passing (the first on Sunday; the second last night). I'm yet to be convinced it isn't just a reflection of the lower standard of...

nicholaldo

Well, I I think it's an unfair characterisation. People, myself included, have been hoping Evatt might recognise the need to adapt his strategy against stronger opposition. That's a reasonable opinion to hold, irrespective of whether the people booing at half time were of the same opinion or not. Th...

Positives: 1. We did what we needed to do to get ourselves out of a rut. 2. We kept a clean sheet. 3. Ameachi came through his few minutes unscathed 4. We looked comfortable throughout Negatives: 1. Against almost certainly the easiest opposition this league has to offer, it took an unforced error ...

Very dominant, with precious few goalscoring opportunities.

Rinse and repeat.

nicholaldo

They have Chris Long starting for them tonight. He had a brief loan spell with us under Parky and I thought he had something. He only scored once but it was a brilliantly hit finish into the top corner.

nicholaldo

Senior described himself in his interview with his new club as "a full back who likes getting forward".

nicholaldo

He's actually gone on loan to York City for a month. Liam Edwards has joined Southport on a one-month loan.

nicholaldo

He's been playing at right-back. Our current paucity of options in that position might just have offered him a route into the first team.

Might young Jääskeläinen be in goal for Crewe? Looks a bit shit from what I've seen. Hopefully Evatt's told our lot to shoot on sight!

I think I'm right in thinking we opted to offer him scholarship terms ahead of Aaron Ramsdale, now first-choice at Arsenal and part of the England set-up.
