I largely agree with Toff Apple, though I wouldn't drop Reeves. I know some players are beyond criticism on this forum Ballers, but Reevesy was completely anonymous last night. He did miss a great chance early doors and I honestly don't remember seeing him again. You (and others)can ffs as much as you like - he was just one of many players (established and new) who didn't show up last night. Has he been found out? Well, if the opposition see him as the main, nay, only goal threat, then perhaps he has. We need Nicky back to preoccupy other defenders and we need to decide once and for all whether we'd be better off playing Reevesy alone up front rather than with a partner. Rankine looked like he could be effective as a centre half at this level - he didn't lose the ball in the air once.

Joey Barton would sort the midfield out.  Free agent and all!

Reeves would do better of he wasn't defending, his work rate was superb last night, and if he got better service.

I don't deny he's not Alan Shearer and his game is based on running behind defenders and poaching goals in the penalty area. To say he was quiet is fine but 'found out' is an absolutely ridiculous statement. You have to bear in mind there was zero threat from either flank and the defenders could concentrate completely on Reeves. and that their centre half Lockwood was excellent.

Also, I'm mighty glad their no 7 Brooksby was injured for the play off final!!

Both opening games the service to the forwards has been awful.  We start with the right intention, of playing out from the back, but we are not holding onto the ball in midfield.  Also, Marshall's distribution is too slow; he seems to want 5 minutes to get his head up and find a pass at times.

When the passing game breaks down, we revert to the long ball.  While Rankine is effective at this, ie he can either hold up or turn and run, his only outlet is Reeves, as nobody else appears to be backing up the attacks.

Guiseley were zipping that ball around first half, and not all of that was due to our formation.  Their movement was superb.
