Don’t agree Cambridge were “rank”, just a good League 2 team made to look average by a better League 1 one.Long was excellent tonight. He’s a valuable asset .
Hall keeps on hanging on in there; admire his tenacity. Sykes ok too.
Cambridge pretty rank though.
We clearly want to go a long way in the pizza cup; we clearly need the money.
On the other hand disappointed to see Clare loaned out. We seriously lack pace.
4. 1 on target.How many shots did they have? Ineffective team, reminded me of early 2014/2015 Appleton side.
Forest Green far better.
I'd say Cambridge were a middling L2 side, fortunately we were able to put one out that's slightly better.
At the beginning of the season Taylor was struggling to find any rhythm with poor crosses and slow build up play. Since we've hit form he has looked back to his old self, even when not scoring. I suspect that Winnall will be the same and will hopefully get 30 mins on Saturday within a settled team to show what he's capable of.
I think it's telling that Rob Hall does just about OK against L2 opposition, because this is his level. You might see the odd flash of inspiration (particularly from dead balls, no doubting his class there), but any L1 defender will have him in his back pocket the whole time. That said, all he can do is take the opportunities when they come.If we're in any way serious about mounting a challenge in the second half of the season, Rob Hall cannot be in the 22 man playing squad; his body just isn't up to it.
We're a professional football club at League 1 level and Rob Hall can no longer perform at that level. It really is that simple.
You could imagine him going somewhere like Dagenham and becoming a club legend, can't you?I think it's telling that Rob Hall does just about OK against L2 opposition, because this is his level.

He also always wants to complete his transfers early. Know what I'm saying?KR saying he doesnt want any more out goings from the squad, so looks like Hall / Sykes will be going nowhere.
FGR (league 2) didn’t rate him enough to keep him; I’m not sure why we do.I think it's telling that Rob Hall does just about OK against L2 opposition, because this is his level.
