Match Thread: EFLC1 Port Vale v Rotherham United

[1]

If we play Proc sat, tue, sat from the start then it’s opening him up to be injured for months. We played the most strikery midfielders we have and that’s all we could logically do without using the work experience.

Fingers crossed, hopefully a couple of forwards

By the time Massey came on he was 80 yards away from me. But we obviously became effective down that right side. Robinson is a very skilful player as well but probably doing one trick too many presently. Small looks useful and Benning clearly at level. Conlon not far away. 

I am fed up tonight but we aren't far of a good side. Desperately need to sign a good striker to add to what we have.

My main argument is start him and take him off. I think Robinson created loads down the right side first half and a striker would have impacted them if not scored. 

Robinson et al were trying to thread a needle whereas a natural striker backed up by midfield creates more viable targets.

Where did Massey play when he came on? RWB or further forward? Glad to hear he looks decent

Robinson is a very skilful player. Needs fine tuning. Massey had an impact at WB. Also got Worrall. Forester and Cass both good from RCH when playing. Lots of good stuff. Need a potent deeper strike force and we are set.

Yes. I think his game improved after that. Were they voting by wire from St Helena.

Has there been any news on Worrall?

The last I heard was a training injury. But I have a view. Drinking Wobbly Bob. We clearly have wingback fixed with Robinson and Massey. Need to stop over running Worrall and use him further forward in right midfield right /  forward if we play three. If we look after him he will add value for 3-4 years but ask him to do too much in the most demanding position and he'll start getting more regularly injured. He is a really good asset Worrall and needs to be looked after. When he gets to the mid 30s he can become the guy brought on for experience in the last 20-30 etc.
