Interesting game
PLAYERS
Dobra, Wolfenden, Humphreys, Donacien and in part El Mizouni doing well
Aluko is having a shocker, really bad debut
We need to feed Bonne who clearly wants to get in the action
Our Villa dynamo has shown flashes, looks pale in comparison to Dobra at times, but perhaps has better end product
Is this Newport B team it shows in moments! But they have good shape at times and the goal was a worldie back heel
DESIRE
Actually showing good energy and fight, albeit I fear Aluko is going to get sent off with his random challenges
The passing is quite at times but we’re not hitting Newport with conistemt pressure eland desire… lots of action not enough chances
SYSTEM
HMMMmmmmm I see Walmart he’s trying to do… not sure the centre miss have the presence, and whilst Donacien is doing well hugging the touch line to feed or cross…. Newport have had more effective moments
But I would say we are much much much better to watch than Marcus era managers…. We just need a bit more guile and better movement

| FULL TIME REPORT - don't panic; back the project on 22:55 - Aug 10 with 387 views | unstableblue |
Oh deary, deary me... the whatsapp and texts I've been getting you'd think someone had died? Because in the cold light of a result, on a screen, Ipswich 0 - Morecombe 1 looks woeful... and of course it is a bad result
But having been there, having watched it, I actually left the game feeling somewhat entertained and with some optimism!
Yes I see the argument that Cook should not have made 10 changes, that he should have allowed partnerships to build - BUT! we have a Saturday/Tues, Harper and Evans are not worth risking.. he probably wanted to see what Aluko and Barry had to offer ( the former, absolutely f@ck all) and Cook just doesn't care about any cup competitions other than the FA Cup.
But for me using the Patented Unstable Model of 'winnnning' (over the season) I saw:
PLAYERS
A much much better display from Wolfenden, a really excellent Donacien display, REAL promise from Humphreys and Clements... spark from El Mizouni and the limited moments from Fraser and Bonne, that step up in class we're seeing in the squad.
Jackson looked like a pound shop player in comparison. And it was of note Norwood injured missing a great headed chance.
Holy did OK, Ndaba was so so.
Barry had some moments, but was a shadow at time of Dobra. BUT Barry has end product.
Clements wobbled towards the end, but there is a player in there for sure.
DESIRE TO WIN
You know what, this is why I'm a little bullish but not fully convinced..... I LOVED the fact that we started to mount some WAVES of attack... we haven't had this at Portman Road for a long time... watch the highlights.. Barry had multiple efforts,we crossed AND crossed again... yes this was a whole crop of new players... but it felt some of the Cook DNA was rubbing off
SYSTEM OF PLAY AND TACTICS
Alway a Hmmmmm from me under Cook... yes Donacien was hugging the touchline well... but actually it was someways better than Saturday in that we passed forward and quicker and El Mizuoni, Donra, and The Wolf were pinging it around well... Clement attacked the edge of the box really well, with some neat one/twos... Fraser showed just real class in a few moments (he is quality)
So in all a disappointing night.... but I saw green shoots in the the 3 model attributes... we need to BACK this project... if we can whether some initial early challenges... if Cook has the system we could fly.... turn on the team and Cook and we're doomed.
COYB
PS - in some ways the Lower North backed the team better tonight, more consistently, than Saturday! | |
