Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

I

Its Jonty!

Saw him huffing and puffing down the wing....bad choice Simmo although you had yer hands tied with the gobby scouser sidelined... Aggy always at his best for the last 20 which would have been yer gameplan.. good on Brett for notching for an ex lasher to give us something to cheer about - all in all 4 out of 10.....must try harder.... Dirties next cant be a better match to make amends....watch those red cards fly.....😛
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

I think it was the best choice- his pace should have caused the defence real problems. However he couldn't really read Dichio's flick ons, and we sent high balls towards Dichio alot more than we sent through balls for Agyemang to run onto.

He tried, but he just works better with Nugent alongside him than Danny.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

I thought their tactics in the first half were spot on. All we could do is play the long ball to the 'big' front men of Paddy and Dannny D. At every opportunity their back four pushed up almost to the 1/2 way line - which forced our two to make runs from distance. I agree after 45 minutes of the Paddy looked shagged. My mate was in the Lane Ends pub and my text at 1/2 time was that we us bring Brett Ormerod on to stop the constant high ball.

Please let Brett start against Leeds
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

i watched the 1st half in a pub in York (without the sound) and it looked like every time Aggy got the ball their defence didn't know what to do with him. No wonder he looked knackeresed he must of ran close to 7 miles in that 45 minutes.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

Afraid it was just back to the normal disappointing Paddy. Fantastic run before he was injured a month ago, but consistency and involvement in a whole game seem beyond him.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

i have posted a few times that i think brett should start with nuge against leeds. i know diche's suspension only rules him out of luton but if simmo rests him and has paddy on the bench, it still gives us plenty of options. i would love brett to score the winner on tuesday against the side who broke his leg. 😀
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

Aggy looked dangerous once or twice, but he needs to get match fit (again!). Mind you the way our midfield played we could have had 1996-97 Ronaldo and Van Basten up front and not looked threatening, no service whatsoever.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

It was hoof and hope from the defence/midfield in the first half tbh. Paddy could do nothing, leave the lad alone and instead of getting at him try supporting him. How about that for once???

Amen to that. I knew this would happen as soon as the run ended.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

To be fair to Aggy, he did ok. He won the ball at times when he was up against it and the couple of times he got the ball in the right place he made some good, threatening runs.

Dingle centre half Thomas did well - but the through balls played for Aggy never really gave him a chance.

Overall the performance was dissappointing from all concerned. We stood off too much and let Gray and Noel Williams get control of the ball too easily!
The midfield was poor and Agyemang and Dichio can shoulder no blame for lack of decent attemts at goal!

I'm glad someone else saw that too. Aggie did ok but was marshalled well by Wayne Thomas. Thomas is very pacy too and the two of them neutralised each other. It wasn't just Agyemang who was knackered and had to be subbed, Thomas was knackered too and had to be subbed.
 
Re: Patrick Agyemang = Knackered

Yeah I thought Paddy was pretty average and he looked strangely tired during that run down the left flank. I didn't think he was the right choice for such a physical encounter and I think nerves got the better of him.

No disrespect to Paddy but also hope Brett starts gainst Leeds, he looked sharp and hungry, its his old club and he scored gainst em last season, its an easy choice IMHO.
