Accurate summary as usual…… Vennings is looking more and more like the ‘real deal’ for me. Low to the ground, twists and turns nearly always completes a clean pass. When Billy is fit again these two plus Corey give us a classy combination.
I wanted to write about Vennings as I thought he was exceptional but figured I had already written 6 good things and people would say that was overkill. I was more impressed how he stepped up to the responsibility of taking the ball off the defence (without Bingham).
If only we could fit Louis into the starting line up as well, that would give us 4 classy players in the middle of the park. Cheek up top with Harry and Reece on the flanks is a mouth watering prospect!
Listening to bromleyfclive the view was that Sowunmi should have been red carded before the break and the ref maybe evened things up by not giving a pen. It does sound like we had a bit of luck as well. You are not going to win a high percentage of games by only scoring 1 goal (apart from Arsenal back in the day) but if you keep creating chances you will eventually take them. So all positive at the moment.
Everyone I’ve spoken to is more than happy for Reice to continue in goal so worth questioning if we actually need another keeper now. If one does come in then he’ll have to work hard to get into the side ahead of Reice now
I’d love to see that happen but don’t think it’s really Woodman’s style. Having said that he did go 3-4-3 for at least 5 mins on Saturday. Maybe he’s the new ‘tinker man’ 😂
Spot on!! I saw that game just as you did, we’re creating chances, which is positive, but we still had to rely on RCC to keep us in front. Aldershot are likely to be in the bottom third this season so we need to start taking these gilt edged chances when presented to us, as better sides than them will punish us for such profligacy. Hopefully Marriott will be back very soon to replicate his finishing from last season. If we’re going to push for the play offs we’ll need someone to step up and score around 15 goals to add to Cheeks standard 20 a season and I can’t see anyone else in this squad doing that.
By the way Louis was class when he came on, I hope he gets the opportunity for more game time going forward
Yep - there is only so much you can hide behind we're creating lots of chances. How many times will we we get away with Cheek not scoring and others missing chances.
Of course the flip side will be that we must be battering someone soon - but I wait to see if that will be the case.
I wonder if we will see Louis play off Cheek at some point this season?

Yep the erratic referring extended to that howler as well. He was dreadful for both sides tbf.
I want to be optimistic and say someone is due a battering soon.
New keeper in coming this week. So all the moaners pre season regarding not having signed a keeper, will probably moan we have another.
Yep. I am awaiting the backlash to this move.
👍

I believe an announcement is coming next week.
