)Agree with all of that. I especially feel sorry for Bakinson, he was very good when he came but wtf is he learning from our mf? He has nobody alongside giving him advice and talking him through games, as a result he ends up trying too much and losing the ball - a timely shout of advice needed but no mf there to give it!The NCFC Hippy wrote:Good work by Somerton Moss, and I agree, the value will lay in the non leagues, especially striker wise.

Agree with most of this and have to say, whilst not proffessing to be an expert in midfield play, it saddens me to see Bakinson's deterioration of performance. It's clear that he has talent and skill, and unfortunately is unable to demonstrate them at the moment. Sure it doesn't help when i'm hearing team mates f*****g and blinding at him during games. I'm sure we all know that some players respond to a metaphoric kick up the a*** and others need a metaphoric arm around the shoulder. The art of good man management is of course knowing how best to get the best out of a player. Hopefully we will start to improve in this respect starting Sunday.lowandhard wrote:Agree with all of that.

Re Bakinson, could it be that opponents have sussed him out?Alan G Bryant wrote:I agree on Bakinson , he was excellent early season and it seems a lot of players have screamed at him lately , Maybe chipped away at his confidence. To see Pring and Harris return and Sheehan's and Forbes lack of game time it makes you wonder if Flynn prefers the battle hardened league 2 players. Ironically, our results were better with Forbes and Sheehan in the team at the start of the season
Yes i'm sure opponents have sussed out not only Bakinson but the team as a whole. I think we surprised a number of teams in the first 3 months of the season, especially away from home. Perhaps we were underestimated also. Don't think we have picked up any away points since October. Most posters have expressed dissatisfaction with the midfields lack of physicality and combativeness, not helped by numerous injuries admittedly. I'm sure opposition managers have picked up on this. Unfortunately Bakinson, Sheehan or Willmott's strengths do not include these qualities.Cornish Exile wrote:Re Bakinson, could it be that opponents have sussed him out?Alan G Bryant wrote:I agree on Bakinson , he was excellent early season and it seems a lot of players have screamed at him lately , Maybe chipped away at his confidence.
