Linnets' Forum / Telford game
« on: December 16, 2012, 12:50:13 PM »
a great game and as said in the interviews, a good advert for non league football. Starting with Telford, I found them to be a better side than the Tamworth side we played last year. Their one touch passing was decent. The difference between them and Tamworth was pure confidence. When Tamworth got into shooting positions, they went for it....Telford just wanted to closer to the goal. A couple of positions their strikers got into would have been perfect for a confident striker to just hit it. Their defence had a player making his debut but that makes no excuse for the way Spriggs and Sam could run past them. I think they were not at their best but that takes nothing away from Lynn as a poor performance should still be above our level.
Overall: good at attacking and midfield area with just confidence needed. Defence needs fixing.
King's Lynn: amazing performance for a side who haven't been playing that well recently and a step 4 side. Matched the conference side for over 70mins. The only time I think Telford had the upper hand was just after the sending off. It seemed to take us time to adjust with a bot of tiredness tided in whereas Telford are getting used to playing with ten nowadays. Alex kept it level with a couple of great saves and it's good to see big phil getting some praise. I thought Sam Mulready was brilliant on the left hand side of the midfield while Spriggs had the left back in his pocket all day. Dunks ran forever and won the knock ons for Sam to chase, a tactic that could work even better in the league. Whether Watson did fly in two footed at one point doesn't matter as the ref made a decision during the game.
Overall: great commitment from the whole team and found a second wind in the last 10 mins. Just need to move this form into the league games. Thanks to Setch and all the club for days like these
I know it's a week away and don't need reasons if you don't want to give but, what would your starting line up be for Saturday? Attacking? Set up for counter attack? Defensive for the odd goal?
