09/08/2022 - Carabao Cup: OUFC v Swansea

[Eaststanding]

Brown playing well, Golding is not a right back, Bate showing classy touches, McGinty having a bit of a mare, others trying hard but struggling to string four passes together. Shore up the midfield and make a game of it ffs.

Bodin isnt a sole striker and golding isnt a right back by nature and only 17. What was needed tonight was a team capable of giving Swansea a game, in readiness for a tough game Saturday.

It's again down to the fact that we're still behind on our transfer business.

Not unreasonably, KR clearly felt that Matty T and Sam Long could do with not playing midweek, and resting up in preparation for Saturday. But as we have noone else in the squad that can play either of those positions, we're having to field an attacking midfielder and a 17 year-old CB instead.

A balanced and complete squad would have two players for every position so that we can rest players when we need to, and still field an XI with everyone comfortable in their positions. But we aren't there yet, and we're getting battered as a result.

It's not the end of the world - sadly the league cup just isn't that important any more - but it is as clear a demonstration as you could ask for as to how much the squad is still lacking.

Findlay & Brannagan on for Jones n Seddin

Multiple people are saying Golding is doing okay! Managed to bomb forward so can attack as well as defend.

Well if you think being slow to anticipate, ponderous on the ball and lightweight in the tackle is playing well…

 

[bazzer9461]

Gorrin very poor

 

[Sarge]

Was that nearly a shot?
