We have 5 weeks to get this semi final packed out.
A clear short term marketing plan with some attractive pricing needs rolling out ASAP.
How many tickets do Spennymoor need? 250 or 3500? I hope we are in contact to sound them out and find out. The town has 21 000 residents there or thereabouts i am sure they will sell quite a few with Wembley the next stop for the winners.
Kairo is still young / a bit raw, learning and developing.
He is pulling on a blue shirt and has my backing but there are two Kairo Mitchells.
The one we like is more direct and gets powerful shots away that are on target... that gives him the maximum chance of a goal.. On Saturday against Alty he did win a few arial duels as well and generally put himself about when he came on.
The Kairo that's on his own up front and nothing sticking, not bringing runners into the game and generally looking a little short in several number 9 departments is not such a fan favourite..
A conundrum indeed but one that can be sorted with Jim playing the lad to his strengths.
24th Feb - I am happy to stick with Big Jim (for now) and see how the next few weeks play out.
Lose on Saturday with NO shots that the keeper has to save and I might change my mind on Sunday 02nd March.
I am sure Big Jim will know its a results business.. More than anything clear the minds of the players.. reset and go on Saturday knowing its win or bust.
Two wins in the next 6 days puts us back on the rails at least.
Score 2+ goals a game and have a strong no nonsense pairing at centre half.
Pace on the wings helps..
Plus a direction of travel that is predominately forward... and positive.
Get the ball quickly into channels with willing runners who can cross a ball into forwards who are hungry to pop the ball into the net.
Stockport / Wrexham and Chesterfield all had a we will outscore you mentality and it showed on the pitch and it showed in the league table after 46 games.
Ripping the seat from the toilet in the first instance causing damage that now the club will have to pay to repair.
Unless the person woke up this morning and in embarrassment has returned to the Shay to apologise and refit / clear up his damage. Thing is they would not have the guts or the realisation what they did to go and do this.
I saw one insipid soft header (Mitchell) on target second half straight into the keepers arms.
No other keeper save. It was either..
1. Shots blazed over the bar (by impressive distance)
Or
2. Shots hitting defenders legs.
Part of the problem is we are tortoise like in transition allowing opponents to easily get back and defend deep in numbers.
Halifax keeper had not one meaningful save to make all night. Do the players reflect and actually work on hitting the ball with purpose between the goals on target as yet another game slips by.
