paddy20 Cant agree with some of the comments about Jay Tabb. I thought he was energetic and pushed up well in the 2nd half and was involved in a lot of our positive moves although on occasions too often played the safe ball. Our loss of form I think revolves around last years dominance of midfield by Leigherwood. I thought Church was totally ineffective, running for lost causes and then holding back on other more promising opportunities. I agree I would prefer to stick with Harte at left back or to replace Pearce at CH. Mills reminds me of Rosenoir, plenty of energy but no end product. Despite the win I would make several changes for Saturday.
Federici, Griffin Gorks, Harte, Cummings. Kebe, Tabb, Leigherwood, Kanu, Le Fondre, Manset. Hunt to replace Manset as he runs out of steam, Karacan for Tabb after he's played a full on 60 mins, Gunnarson for Griff as he tires. This way we can benefit from experience but counteract their lack of stamina. Mcanuff, if Kebe not fit but sorry hasnt played well for a long time, again probably down to getting older and playing on wing. Always looks more menacing when he switches to central midfield. I think this kind of stucture could prolong the efficacy of the older players and help bring on the younger players utilising their energy and developing their skills. But heh what do I know!!!

Allyh84 How long did that Le Fondre chant go on!?! So much better than our normal songs i.e. SIMON CHURCH... *clap clap*

paddy20 2 right backs is an interesting defensive set up, or are you planning to misplace Griffin or Cummings on the left?

Does Simon Church even have a chant?

Man Friday Thanks for this, interesting. Who was it that failed to cover back adequately for their second goal? I would have expected our defender to have closed the striker down more, if not delivered a crunching tackle (albeit he was in the penalty area). If Mills, then this is a bit worrying as someone his age should be quicker than that. If Gorky, he's amassed too much credit to be criticised just over that. I suspect it's Mills. If so, then I must confess that I'm beginning to think he’s not the solution to our left-back problem.

pea I thought Pearce was great last season but he's just not concentrating properly too often this season and I think we need to give another defender a try in his place or he needs to step up (and fast with the fixtures we have coming up)

Perhaps he's busy trying to communicate with Gorkss and to make sure Cummings is where he should be defensively.

ZacNaloen basically the defense needs more games together

I hope this to be the case. I hope Pearce doesn't take steps back this season, like Church appeared to last season.
Before his injury last year, he was looking like a future fixture in our defence and possible future captain too. It would be nice to see him recapture that form, for his own sake as well as the teams. Always good to see academy products doing well.

melonhead when you put a whole new defence together, it takes a while
etc
