It was basically a league team v a non league team today. Their tactics are so antiquated and non league style, I'm amazed they've gone unbeaten until now. Tried to ruffle us up but our 2 goals were class. We went a bit sloppy after the second goal but the game was won, so understandable.
Worrall is probably in the top 3 best players in the league. He's so good.
I feel much better about our chances. We've played 6 or 7 of the top 8 so far and lie in 7th. We now have a pretty good run of fixtures (barring orient) . Our players are a definite upgrade on the last few seasons and it seems like there is actually some thought on how to combat the opposition and that some work has been done in training.
We need to build a little run now and get ourselves in among the top 3 if we can.
Aye that’s what pleased me most today. It’s clear they had a plan but were good enough to execute it also.
I think the debate is over if there ever actually was one to be had in terms of the merits of this squad compared to last season. You only have to look at the corresponding fixture at VP from that season and how we struggled badly against the same tactics.
Other than that nice to see Jake get some minutes and he looked sharp I thought. I think Lloyd despite my scepticism at first he has something about him. Not going to trouble the scoresheet himself often but his linkup play and workrate will be very useful.
