Re: Friendly V Weston.
16I thought JR said the first team would play against Forest Green, so he could still chop and change the team. I don't see this team as a B team.

It caused me some alarm to see Townsend playing in this game. I believe that he showed again against Cardiff that he is our best keeper.
JR said it was a mix of the players in each game..
Perhaps he wanted his better keeper behind a weaker defence tonight and Day behind his first choice centre halfs tomorrow ????
Looking at all the outfield players playing tomorrow then that looks more like what will be the first 11.
I think Waite will make the starting 11 instead of Zinzala or Evans
Bennett as the defensive minded midfielder Bowen ,Waite and Wildig behind a target man of Bogle
Re: Friendly V Weston.
19I said I don't see this as a B team, but I think most of tomorrow's team will be the A side. I just think there is still chances for some of the team playing tonight, especially Nick T.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
20You look at the players playing tomorrow. You're telling me that the majority of them won't be starting against Sutton?Big Al wrote: July 15th, 2022, 9:18 pm I thought JR said the first team would play against Forest Green, so he could still chop and change the team.

Norman, Demetriou, Drysdale, Clarke, Bennett, Bowen, Wildig, Bogle.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
21As I said on my second post I think most of tomorrow's team will be be starting the first match. I think that there are still chances for players like Nick T to get in the side. I do think tomorrow's team will have the greater make up of the first team.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
22If JR can’t see Townsend’s superiority then I think less of him as a coach and even less of him as a manager. It’s painfully obvious.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
24I am sure JR said that fans and players shouldn’t read too much into who plays tonight or tomorrow.Having said that,most of tomorrow could be the starting line up for Sutton but,Townsend for me.Haven’t seen any friendlies but would think Zimba has a good chance.

25I’m afraid to say that Rowberry’s judgement has been suspect for some while, Day as first choice goalkeeper would be just one of many other examples.lowandhard wrote: July 15th, 2022, 10:18 pm If JR can’t see Townsend’s superiority then I think less of him as a coach and even less of him as a manager.

The way last season ended I think should give us serious concern about his managerial prowess, simply put I don’t think that he is a winning leader, and worryingly is currently showing no signs that he ever will be.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
26So what would "a winning leader" look like? You must know or you wouldn't be able to say Rowberry hasn't got it.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
27Well certainly not one that loses 8 of our last 9 games! Or put another way, getting only 1 point from those 27 on offer.George Street-Bridge wrote: July 16th, 2022, 8:51 am So what would "a winning leader" look like? You must know or you wouldn't be able to say Rowberry hasn't got it.

How is he 'currently showing no signs that he ever will be a winning leader'?

Townsend and Day are as good/bad as each other. Day has his faults, so does Townsend but neither keeper is 'superior' to the other. They're both bog standard league 2 keepers.
Re: Friendly V Weston.
30We don’t know how well each keeper does in training, their attitudes to improve, what they’re like in the dressing-room, if they’re carrying a slight knock or muscle ache etc.
My view is, over more than a season, on the pitch Townsend has shown himself to be a better all-round GK than both Day and King.
