Changes need to be made

Sat Feb 15, 2025 2:27 pm

Would have taken a draw before the game, Bristol high in the league. Does feel a bit like a win with the late goal.

But the team Riza picked was wrong.

I hope he now sees changes need to be made.


Salech has to be starting. We saw again what nuisance he can cause for opposition defenders, in the right place to get the goal as well.

Horvath needs to come in for Alnwick.

There are more but trying to make this a brief summary.




But I'm relieved we didn't lose today.

Mannsverk and Rubin our best players, I'd probably give Rubin MOTM.

I agree Worcester Alnwick has looked suspect for quite a while now Rubin had a great 2 nd half thought Mannsverk was my mom

100%!

NG lost his man, complaining about offside and generally shite.

El Ghazi fucked up at least 5 dead balls. This is a major issue. Corners, decent free kick areas. Needs to be managed!!

Robbo is off it. Salech needs more minutes.

Some slight positives, but they were beatable today. We didnt threaten their keeper much at all!!

I personally think Alnwick maintains his position, apart from the 3 mistakes kicking it straight out in the first half he was solid. And made a world class save which kept us in it.
Rubin was ok second half, one great run with a shot which just slid wide. But for all the great runs he produced nothing at the end of them.
Ng is the biggest worry for me in today’s starting line up, he’s never been brilliant defensively. But he’s not offering anything in the attacking sense anymore to warrant him starting.

As long as it’s not El Lazy and Willock starting both got a touch like Lee Baddeley :laughing6:

NG has been No Good all season :wave:

A precious point maybe but I agree Salech starting is key. Alnwick the jury is out. Couple of great saves today.

El glazing

What has he got to offer
Ok as a sub for 10 mins but as starter he is not for me..

Ramsey had a great cameo still has a lot to offer at this level

And it plain to see that the youngsters Alves and Ashford are better than El Ghazi and Willock

Colwill is almost a very good player just needs to kick on again and get stronger and more consistent

Bagan turning into a good player as well

Salech knows were the back of the net is :ayatollah:

A decent point today showed good fighting qualities to get back in the game but we are not out of the woods yet far from it

I also thought Ramsey made a difference playing in the deep quarter back role he sees passes others don't and was instrumental in the equaliser, I think a fit Ramsey for the rest of the season will be a big plus

I agree him Robertson and Mannsverk would be a great mid 3

There was some lovely one touch passing with Mann and Rambo, Ramsey made so much difference just opened up more options.

1st half we were so static and one dimensional was embarrassing

Re: Changes need to be made

Totally agree with you and Ramsey has to start if Robertson isn't back.

We need to be focusing on finishing above the Jack's and Oxford as I think a few behind us could easily go on runs.

Look at Portsmouth now. It's going to be a huge game against Plymouth

Not sure if Rambo is a starter anymore but 30 minute cameos might be the way forward for him these days

Re: Changes need to be made

This is the line up I would go with for Plymouth, we need to go at them from the off and not for 20 minutes at the end when we're trying to salvage a point

Alnwick needs to be dropped, start from the back

According to riza we played quite well was he watching first half? Honestly everyone can see what was wrong with the team starting before a ball was kicked just look at the bench our better players as subs sorry but he really needs to go

Both teams poor first half but Cardiff were a lot better second half we deserved the point. But it should have been three
