My only criticism of Cox last night was starting Kev.
It was clear that he hadn’t recovered fully from Saturday (unsurprisingly) and if he’s got a muscle injury that’s not great news. McAttee or Hallam could have started instead.
With WG & CT on this one. Also I’d like to see Hallam incorporated at some point. Either as attacking CMF or in Kev’s no. 10 role should he be out again.
Taylor to come back too. As for Vincent I’d get a duo rail ticket back to Bournemouth for him and Cordner.
In our predicament I’ll take the three points. Back to back away wins – when did that last happen? Or back to back clean sheets for that matter.
We haven’t got a reputation for seeing out a 1-0, nor have we a reputation for winning games in hand so a couple of positives to take home from Burslem.
Negatives are the second half tactics and Kev going off injured. Too much too soon. He should have started on the bench tonight.

Sorry, but this is just more waffle and empty promises. Why has the club just “started looking at a strategy”? Why have we not had supporter representation before?
Oh, and I see the ground rebuild is still on the menu! How about a team rebuild first?
Covid has affected every club in every league. Why does he think SUFC suffering worse than others?
As for the U23 comments – here’s an idea for the dark nights ahead. Write down the whole of our squad and sort out who is in the first team and who is in the U23s. Bet it’s harder than you think, and I bet you come up with a different list to me.
As stated above, we are not going forwards, we’re going backwards and have been since long before relegation, wage caps and coronavirus.
Nice of PS to put out an update but until we start seeing some evidence of “perseverance” on the pitch I won’t be reading too much into it.
I can tell you that, for me, the single largest reason why state schools get poorer results is that the independent sector is considerably less tolerant of failure.
We’ll have to have a chat about that sometime, but probably in the New Year as it will take me until then to stop fuming over this stupid, ignorant comment!
Anyhow moving on. I always shouted when I was playing. I still do in a Sunday evening game of 5-a-side.
The secret is to be positive. As well as reading the game and bellowing out instructions (you have to bellow to be heard) you can gee-up a player by shouting something like “Come on Tony, you’re better than that” or praise them with the likes off “Great defending guys, absolutely brilliant. Same again!”
I remember watching Paul Hayes playing at Carlisle for Wycombe. He was constantly talking to the other players, particularly the young lads, encouraging them and giving praise when it was earned. This is what we are missing at present.
With no crowds in stadiums it should be easier to spot who is doing this when watching on ifollow. Have a listen on Saturday.
Peter Swann has obviously studied politicians interview techniques, as he is very good at sounding like a caring father figure who is carrying the weight of responsibility on his broad shoulders, without actually answering the questions.
Very convenient to have the pandemic to help deflect the brick bats, but as I said on the other thread, all 24 clubs are in the same boat and this shitshow has been going on since Alexander left.
Cox’s comments were interesting too. Why has it taken thirteen games to give the squad a bollocking? Why have they been allowed to “do what they want” for thirteen games before Cox tells them to “do what he wants”?
If Cordner is not up to it mentally and physically then send him back to Bournemouth. Why should we develop someone else’s player if he can’t be arsed?
