Gateshead V Southport - Match Thread

[siddle]

I’ve seen us play worse and win. So let’s not go completely overboard on a bad day at the office.
We didn’t deserve to concede four - and we matched Gateshead for large spells.
It’s just one of those freak scorelines. We deserved to lose but this toxic post mortem isn’t appropriate, IMO

It was an athletics stadium, not an office.

I don’t get this ‘we matched them’ or ‘we weren’t outplayed’ or ‘apart from 15 minutes ....’.
You might as well say ‘we conceded 10 goals but we played well in between them’.

Calm down ,cheer up some of us look on the bright side.
There are worse things happen at sea or in a hospital.
I was more sorry for us losing because I have been longing for football on the ground with wingers.
And the last couple of games there has been more of that.
I don’t get this three at the back or five or two in midfield or three stuff . I mean three centre backs surely they get in each other’s way.
And wing backs they neither full backs or wingers.
It all depends on what the opposition does whatever formation players have to be marked.
It’s too complicated.
Here’s to the next game if I can log log on .

I’m just wondering if Ali had to pay to get back into the ground on the numerous occasions he was sent out of it. Almost a lesson in how not to defend - giving the ball away, allowing strikers room to shoot and a lazy trip in the box. We’ve got strength in depth at centre half and you can play your way out of selection as well as into it!

Looking at the Highlights again, Ali who has been mostly outstanding seemed to give the opposition too much room & looked a bit slowish to read the game, on the plus side, on another day we could have had 3 or 4 goals, Carver missed a header should maybe have won a penalty, Winnard had a clear header on goal, on the whole a deserved defeat but a hollow scoreline, as I dont think they were 3 goals better than us on the day...Dan Hanford will be disappointed to let the 2nd in..

I think we’ve seen inconsistency from Mo. At times he’s been very good but on Saturday, from the highlights, less so. The same as any player I suppose but it’s the one position we have a few options so it’s whether the manager feels Mo would be better playing through to find his form or bring Winnard in/drop Bainbridge into defence.

It's hardly that bad - if anything I think it's fairly measured for a 4-1 pumping.

Mo Ali was at fault for all 4 goals. Needs to be dropped after that showing for everyone’s good.

A permanent return gig at Sainsbury's meat counter beckons.

Mo Ali should have be taken off at halftime he was a yard of the pace of the game, and if he is a full back I am a Dutchman. The so called midfield do not close down quick enough and worse still they where not getting back as Gateshead attacked. Final point facing a open goal we put two good heading chances over the cross bar and the other wide. Looks to me our coaching needs looking at.
