Interchanging and pace of front four

Nano said:
We created plenty of chances but they are all awful finishers. Finishing is Greenwood's only strength but today he was atrocious. Jones frustrates the hell out of me with his back passes to the keeper; needs to put his laces through it and get some power on his shots. Rogers took the goal really well but then wasted other opportunities and Silvera takes an age to get a shot off. Crooks McGree, Coburn, Lath, Forss etc are all much more reliable in front of goal.

Seriously mate. We've got 10 first team players out injured and we've just completely outplayed the team in 5th, and all you can do is moan and make negative comments.
Constantly and unceasingly making negative comments isn't constructive or balanced it's just being a negative troll.

Coming out with shyte like "awful" "atrocious" "frustrates the hell out of me" after yesterday, and a week where we've won 3 games and reached our first Semi Final in 17 years is utterly ridiculous.

I think the Gazette ratings are pretty mean.
Not one of the players deserved just a 6 today.
The front 4 wouldn't be my choice but they did play well today. I'd have given both Silvera and Greenwood 7.
I also thought Dijksteel, Van De Berg, Glover and Howson warranted 8's.
The man of the match out of Barlaser/Rogers/Fry at least should have got a 9, for being MoM in such an impressive performance.
I personally would have given it to Barlaser yersterday. I'm not remotely his biggest fan, but he played superbly yesterday.

I’d said only Silvera and Greenwood didn’t play well as well. Both worked hard but no real quality of note. 6’s are about fair.

We could've scored 10. The finishing was awful and atrocious. We won despite the wastefulness which was great.

I'm making the point that I don't want to see that front 4 regularly when we have better options available. It's not negative to say our better players are better than our backups.

I get the point your making.....but that shouldn't be where our focus is.
These mostly young lads have completely stepped up to the plate recently, shown a superb attitude and work ethic, from my perspective they deserve nothing but praise.
 
Great team performance yesterday.
Agree with some posts
That pass Engel from across field. Wow.
Engel and Barlaser best 2 for me.
Fry looked a lot better alongside VDB.

I do think we played like that a lot last season with a fluid front 4. It works as the opposing defenders have no idea who to mark. What makes it work is when they get in position when out of possession and they did that well yesterday.

Also a shout for glover. Great save. Cool under pressure. Excellent distribution.

UTB
 
The finishing was poor but it was a decent front 4 in the circumstances.

The majority of our forward players are inconsistent, but each and every one of them has something about them and none of them are “crap.”
