Bodin

Which is exactly what didn't happen on Saturday. Far to often Barkhuizen just stopped and rolled the ball backward. With both wide players 'on the wrong side' I'd like to see them swapping over during the game a little bit.

It seems evident that Barkhuizen has not yet fully shaken off this bug he has apparently had. If he could start playing again as he did in the home match against Reading last season that might give the whole side a boost.
 
I personally feel he will be a player who will divide opinion. Whilst showing glimpses of quality going forward and having an ability to beat a man, there were a couple of times yesterday where he was easily beaten defensively and as previously mentioned, left Fisher exposed. Hopefully Neil can develop the weaker aspects of his game.

he if didnt divide opinion he wouldnt be a PNE player - every one of them divides opinion of PNE fans.....some even give the players more than a month before forming an opinion !

not sure how Bodin was on the wrong side seeing as how he played the same position he played for Bristol Rov - off the right.

TomB was against a full back who could match him for pace (at least whilst Tom is ill) and so he never had the confidence to go outside him onto his weaker crossing foot.....

Personally I would have swapped Robbo for Barks and let Tom have a run at the CB's with CR out left.

There was a spell in the 2nd half where they switched to that and it seemed to be working well, but it was only for about 5 minutes and they swapped back.

The 2nd half against Forest last week was as good a performance as I've seen from Batkhuizen, the way him and Earl ripped Darikwa a new one made me glad we didn't sign him.

I've never seen anything from Darikwa that has ever made me disappointed that we didn't sign him.
