Re: Satanage!
With a waterlogged pitch, if any game cried out for effective use of wing play it was surely yesterdays.
In the second half, Stevenage began to dominate the midfield, yet we constantly tried to attack through the centre.
Stevenage, on the other hand, made excellent use of the wings, attacking down Stanley's wide open flanks time & again.
Yesterday was ideal for big strong centre forward who could throw his weight about in the penalty area, yet the Gorn was substituted.
I'm Rommy Boco's biggest fan, but conditions yesterday didn't suit his style of play. It would have been more effective to bring Taylor-Fletcher on in place of Rommy & keep Terry on. Or even better, replace McConville who was ineffective.
Also, if Billy Kee is fit enough for the bench, he must by definition be 'fit to play'. If he's not quite up to scratch it would be better starting him, when we seem to create more chances, than waiting until the games lost.
We again wasted two goal scoring opportunities from free kicks in dangerous areas. 'Predictable' is becoming our trade mark.
Stevenage could easily have scored another couple of goals & Parish made some good saves. But he also put our defence under unnecessary pressure with some suicidal 1 yard throw-outs when what was needed was a long punt over their midfield.
A few more home displays like yesterdays & all our ideas of trying to increase attendances will be futile.
