Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

[Taelee73]

Giving players one full game to prove themselves? Hanson I've not seen enough of to comment, but Mcgavin has had many chances, he is lazy, slow and can't tackle.

Players need games to gel and build confidence, so you'd have to stick to the players and formations for 4/5/6 games at least. For me, Mcgavin had his chance.



Three at the back just isn't working with the players we have, why he keeps on and on with it. We look far more balanced with four at the back.

Desilva needs to up his game, he knew what would be expected of him from last season. The first few games for us I really thought we had a tricky pacy player, but he's really regressed since then. He just doesn't seem to fit into GJs system.

Whatever happens this season, most of these players will not be here next, Hall, Mcgavin, Hanson, Moxey, Desilva, Jarvis to name a few.

I do not think letting a player have one full game then a month on the bench will achieve anything, most of the back line and there is a combination of eight have been here a season or more, after this time if they do not get what Johnson wants them to get, they are never going to get it. I agree with toastkid that stobbs let his man go, however running the wings and covering midfield is already two roles, covering for absent defenders just because they have no pace or footballing nous is one role to many. Tomorrow I would play moxey in place of tomlinson alongside marshall who has at least a little bit of willing to die for the cause about him. I would start crowe at right back, is he any better than what we have seen so far, probably not but he has experience on his side and besides he has a lot to prove.

Actually, a fair few comments coming in, and not too much bitching at each other. We are becoming a together bunch. Differences of opinion, yes, but all together in supporting a tosh team, and all with the hope of improvement!

Coyy!

[desperado]

Hanson at centre half ?!!
Have you been getting too much sun ?
As for Crowe , yes like the other full backs, good going forward but can't defend !

[brucie]

Hanson played centre half for Dover - have a look at Tomlinson losing his man from a routine throw in and presenting them with a shot on goal.

He isnt big enough or good enough, gets bullied and basically looks like a schoolboy playing against grown ups. Hanson has played in the national league - a higher level than Tomlinson.

Who knows but give the guy a chance - after all Johnson paid a fee for him. We are playing at home against a bunch of no hopers - we need to create chances.

Crowe is comfortable on the ball - we have been conceding umpteen chances per game, Give someone else ago

Add Halstead to that, as he only got a 1 year extension
