FA Cup 4th Round - Torquay United vs Crawley Town

[Wisconsin_gull]

agreed - let's keep it simple and take care of business

how is NW playing today? Do we need Oastler in to help out middle of park...

Gulliball, Stevens has been one of the few players playing well. I would leave it til about the hour mark, then bring on Kee for whichever of the 5 in midfield who isn't performing. I was watching it online but my stream got cut right at the end of the first half. SuperNickyWroe, can you give me a link in a PM?

My sum up of the first half:

Been a game of hoof-ball really so far, the difference has been the time on the ball. When we've lumped it upfield we've been under pressure so can't aim anything. When they've done the same, they've had time on the ball and aimed it. That said, their goal was a hook on by one of their midfielders with no real aim. Was a good finish by Tubbs though.

Benners has been looking completely out of his depth on his own and could really do with Kee on to give him a bit of support. O'Kane has been decent, Stevens has played well but generally we have nothing in the final third, no real passing fluency in their half as we don't have enough bodies up there. We are in the game but something needs to change as we don't really look like scoring. The ref hasn't helped either by pulling us up for free kicks every time we tackle someone.

Absolute shambles of a 1st half. Has anyone bothered to tell them today is fairly important?

HAVE to go 2 up front, Zebroski has been absolute bobbins so far, defended alright until we let a route 1 straight ball go to Tubbs. Took it well to be fair but christ we've not played as bad as that in ages.

Please prove me wrong 2nd half lads but i just knew these absolute tw*ts would turn us over today. :evil:

Rob, I agree Stevens is going on a few runs, but they're not leading to anything. We need to change shape now so the wingers have something to aim for, and I'd be reluctant to take O'Kane or Zebroski off just yet, which is why I suggested Danny. He's having a decent game for me, but that's it.

2 Crawley lads at the back on yellows, run at them and scare them witless and then get them sent off...

[royalgull]

can someone link me up for the 2nd half please

Who would you put on the left though?

I think Stevens has been playing well and had one of our better chances so far. If he could cross or shoot he'd be our best player! I'd probably take off O'Kane, he's played well but would be the more natural to drop for Kee without losing the shape of the team. I think generally the team have played well, we just don't have anything up front today.

[Wisconsin_gull]

Stevens missed pretty much a sitter - great build up by Zebs

[westbaygull]

Zeb sounds like a different player this half
