The Forest keeper, (forget his name) looks a right loose cannon. Concentrate on winding him up they could end up with 10 men. Having said that, do we have the players with the nous? will he even play following his head injury in the last match? and we struggled to beat Barrow with 10 men and conceded 4 goals. Scrap that.
Winding up the opposition goalkeeper would require us getting out of our own half. I’m not too optimistic on that front.
I think we should try to score more goals than them. Before that only pass the ball to a player with the same coloured shirt.
Accept we don't have a midfield, and get the thing lumped forward. When they have the ball, kick them.
Just for one match..... This match..... Smash it long at every opportunity. Get stuck in. Every time someone in our half picks up the ball, get snow on it and chase it. Let's have a proper "vertical football" and sod trying to play, and shoot from anywhere in the opposing half. It's our only hope.
Is he the goalie who picked up his 5th booking of the season recently in a game I was watching? Quite a lot for that position. As you state, he is either a loose cannon, or time-wastes a lot.
I remember trying to wind up Nigel Batch, the Grimsby keeper. I thought it was hilarious, and still do after Christ knows how many years.
I still don’t understand why the powers that be don’t realise that this needs to be the tactic until we get players who can actually pass a ball…
They will have all been hanged or shot in the morning. It's not going to progress the spreadsheet approach surely?
