Agree with that.
Flynny told him to drop back into midfield.
Got to start next week with Marlon and Frank up the middle and Robbie out wide.

Totally wrong fit for each other and our tactics.

Personally I thought Willmott offered very little going forward but worked hard defensively

Harps - strikers are paid to score or assist. Armond had a shot. How many did Jackson and nouble have between them?

Started both halves decent then vanished. As an attacking threat today we had armond first half and labadie second.

Guess what Padraig was on for 60 minutes sorry but what shot and won nothing in the air although in fairness was not as bad as McClousky.
Jackson came on won virtually everything in the air.
Maybe it should in hindsight be Marlon winning everything in the air and Padraig feeding off him.
Frank will not stay in the middle so have rethought that and it has to be Padraig and Marlon with Robbie out wide not dropping back

Have to agree, but why was he playing as a defensive midfield player alongside Tozer?

Sorry but I must comment on that statement.
Marlon and Frank came on and Marlon literally won everything in the air after Padraig and McCoulsky literally won nothing in the air
first half.
Once Flynny put the changes in we did look like a side who could score.
Seriously how you can say that is ridiculous

He won about 3 headers. He is also a striker who didn't have a fecking shot! I thought the changes today made zero impact. I'm happy with a point but to say they changed the game is madness. I thought it was a terrible move to take armond off who was by a distance our best striker out of the 4 that played.

I agree - the subs had zero impact. Amond in particular was very hard done by to be taken off. Him and MCCoulsky would have been much more likely to win us the three points.

Sorry Bush but that simply isn't correct. For anyone who wasn't There,,Jackson won pretty much every header, whereas when Shaun was on I doubt he won more than one or two. Fairs fair Jackson was fine.

Sully, I am not slagging off Jackson for the sake of it. He won a good few balls in the air, but nothing came from them, he just got his head onto the ball with no idea where it was going to go. It seems many on here thought he did well, fair enough, I didn't. If he is the answer we have no chance, again just my opinion.

Big Al wrote:What is the point of Jackson winning the ball in the air if it doesn't go to a County player. He was the usual Jackson, no idea. Nouble was the same, picking his nose on the wing when he should be in the box.What we lacked was creativity, Dolan or Sheehan should have played. I know Dolan is off form, but he could have made a difference with his set piece delivery. Apart from all that I thought the defence was excellent, O'Brien made a .difference

Well said.

Nothing positive today at all then to talk about Corky.
Back 5 or Labs maybe?.
No of course against your principals to do a positive contribution.
What a miserable character you must be.

Keep taking your medication old bean

IMO

If we had kept McCoulsky and Padraig up front we wouldn't of scored in 180 minutes let alone 90.
Totally shackled by the Notts defence all 60 minutes worth.

We wouldn't have scored with all 4 strikers on upfront because there was nothing created from out wide and it was only a few drives forward from labadie that made us look remotely like scoring.

Armond first half didn't win headers but he brought two high balls down to him and had a shot on one and started a move with another. I'm sorry but that's what I want my strikers doing. I would have brought hayes on first to partner armond. Then Sheehan for Robbie. Would have also brought Reid on for pipe.
