Midfields a joke

[Husty]

Dicker is pure class but it just doesnt work with him paired with crofts, crofts rarely gets forward ahead of him so all we have is a defense and then not far ahead two central midfielders, and then a mile up the pitch 2 strikers, leaving a huge gap inbetween, slade needs to find someone to fill that space or we stand little chance this season

Thornhill played in his proper position?

Again I was at a different match to an NSCer. I thought the midfield looked very good until the sending off and Bennet was put to RB. Continued to compete pretty well after that even though we ended up with only 2 in midfield. In fact I think we have potentially our best midfield for a few years.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

the midfield should be:

bennett - dicker - thornhill - davies

Despite my previous post I actually agree with you. Both Crofts and Dicker do solid jobs for us, although I would like a bit more attacking intent. I have been slightly frustrated with Thornhill's lack of impact.

Thornhill needs to be sent back to Forest this evening, he is dreadful

 

[Djmiles]

Davies, Dicker, Crofts, Bennett.

Compare that to Virgo, Savage, Thornton, Livermore this time last year.

I know what midfield I would rather have.

I sort of assumed that was what was going to happen this season but it simply hasnt, dont ask me why

I lost count of the number of times the ball got picked up and there was no option but to go backwards or hoof it, it doesnt have to mean a change of personnel, but one of the pair needs to push up because right now they are both trying to hold, i believe thornhill deserves a start as CM

We were playing with 10 men and the outlet had been moved to RB ? Before that we were probably the more creative team imo.

And bennett will be there next game most likely so you suggest we just play hoof ball? bennett is a winger anyway and cant be seen as a reliable outlet, we dont need 2 holders

 

[maidstoneseagull]

crofts is defensive, breaking up play, dicker is more forward thinking linking the play. It's called complimentary.

The only player who played hoof ball throughout was Elphick, didn't we play some good ball on the ground or did I just imagine it?

You did, not one person on NSC is aloud to see (or say) anything good about our team

 

[Safe.]

I think Dicker and Crofts work well together and they're only going to a form a better partnership as the season goes on.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think Dicker and Croft complimented each other well roday and unless I am mistaken didnt Croft have a header saved in the first minutes, so must have got forward at some time in the game.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Good pairing Dicker and Croft - we have some very good options for the wing. With McNulty and Whing back supporting them, I still think we have a good side that is definately not going to hang around in the bottom half.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Kuipers,Tunnicliffe,crofts,dicker,forster,
There's Your spine ,f*** the others off next season.

Thornhill was a disgrace, rarely made a decent pass when on the pitch
