Looking forward to this one. To be honest I thought we played well on Tuesday and at least we chased the game even though we conceded that late third. There seems a big gap between NPL and National North so I think this is a free hit, however I feel quite confident that we will give this a good go. Should be fun.

Sounds all too familiar.
Do we not have a decent mid fielder who can dominate,that's probably why we're reverting to dreaded long ball.
Never thought I would hear myself say this but we miss Luke Dean where is he?

That sounded worryingly dreadful.
We seemed to have a set lineup and formation in preseason but now we seem to be tinkering with bizarre formations that puzzle us more than the opposition.
Result is decent players have lost confidence… ring any bells?
Back to basics guys. Keep it simple rather than trying to outthink the opposition -and confusing ourselves as a result.
We are better than this and there’s still time to have a successful season in the league.

Even worse if you were there. Truly dreadful first half, only marginally better second.
Sikora all at sea. Blyth fans just couldn’t believe how bad we are. That’s saying something!!

I agree the system we played pre season appeared to work and all the squad understood it,so why change.
Can I just point out that it seemed to supporters last season that the major problem was trying to change systems to suit opposition and it did not work of that there is no doubt.
Stick to what you know,get stronger at it let players learn their role and make the opposition deal with that.

Still trying to figure out the system. I think it was a 4-3-3 playing a centre back at right back and a right back in midfield? It could have been 3 at the back with wingbacks but didn’t look like it?

Didn't go today but it seems we are just repeating the same mistakes as last seasom and tinkering with the stating line up again. As others have said decide your formation and then select the players to fulfil those roles as we undoubtedly have the talent in the sqaud to do this. Steve Kittrick showed that it could be done back end of last season by playing players in their rightful positions and maybe we missed a trick by not giving him the managers job?

Just returned home after a lengthy trip up from Manchester. To say that was hard viewing is an understatement.
If I’m being completely honest, I thought the first half performance was one of the poorest I had seen from a Guiseley side in quite some time. We were very slightly better 2nd half but throughout, we desperately struggled to get hold of the ball and when we did, we lost possession all too easily on countless occasions. It appeared as though no one seemed completely convinced what the plan was, and there were numerous times where the ball was simply hoofed forwards in the vague hope it might reach someone in a yellow shirt. I did not think Blyth looked particularly good at all, but they’re good enough.
I wasn’t at the South Shields or Marske matches, but from what I heard from others there were at least some positives to take from the performances despite them ending in defeat. Unfortunately I am struggling to think of any today.

Far from our best today against a Blyth side who could have, and perhaps should have, scored a few more than they the two they got.
The first half was poor from both sides but the hosts were the better team and should really have been in a commanding lead when McNall wasted two big chances.
Four minutes before half-time McNall opened the scoring with a cross which was put in for Richardson to head but he missed it and it went straight in.
The second half was much more of a contest but it was Blyth once again who looked the better of the two when they headed home but it was ruled out for a foul.
O'Donnell also headed goalwards but it flew over.
After 66 minutes we had our first meaningful attack and attempt on goal, first Vaughan saw his header well stopped by Mitchell.
From the resulting corner Ellis looked to have equalised with an header but Deverdics cleared off of the line before Ible headed Cadman's shot over from close range.
Two minutes later Blyth hit the bar when Hickey shot from 20 yards out.
McNall added his second though with 15 minutes left, a well taken curled shot into the top corner leaving Trenerry with no chance.
We did have a couple more chances though, Cadman just wouldn't give up on a ball that looked certain to be going out of play.
He kept it in and beat a Blyth defender before crossing for Haw but his header went just over.
Smith had a shot in the closing minutes from 25 yards out which Haw flicked over.
That was that, our Emirates FA Cup run came to an end in disappointing circumstances.
Onto Matlock at home on Tuesday night.
Come on Guiseley!

Should probably start by acknowledging that there were four or five players who would have expected to start the match yesterday who were missing through a combination of injury and ineligibility so we were handicapped by that. That said, I cannot recall ever witnessing a more utterly inept performance from a Guiseley team, particularly in the first half, although the second wasn’t much of an improvement. I made the trip to Blyth believing Guiseley would have a decent chance against a team in the lower reaches of the NLN but in truth Blyth will not have an easier win all season. In the first half we managed one corner, in the first couple of minutes and not a single effort on goal. Second half was a bit better and some chances were created but we deserved nothing from the game overall. I would estimate that Blyth had 75 per cent of the possession and territorial advantage throughout. When we had possession it was inevitably given up cheaply, either by a limp tackle, a wayward pass or by lumping the ball up field towards a hopelessly isolated Cassidy who always seemed to be at least 20 yards from another Guiseley player. It’s very hard to do well in any football match when you don’t have the ball and our inability to get, keep and then use the ball effectively is really hurting us in games. The back four played reasonably well but when under pressure for most of the game were bound to concede eventually and with steadier finishing Blyth could and should have won by four or five goals. Luke Dean is a huge miss as he is a ball winner in midfield. Cadman looks good but needs help around him. The wide men need the ball, otherwise they cant influence the game. Cassidy needs help alongside him, otherwise he cant influence the game.
My pre season optimism has now evaporated having witnessed eight of our ten matches this season. We have played ok in spells but not dominated other teams in a way the better teams do. We don’t score enough goals (failed to score in four out of ten matches and scored more than one in only three matches). We aren’t clinical enough in front of goal. We don’t do the basics around keeping possession and moving the ball around well enough. We lack intensity at times, especially it seems in the first half of games and we don’t have a settled line up or formation which is partly down to player availability. All of this has worrying parallels with last season. We have lost the last three matches and won only one of the last five and the players look low on confidence to me. Three challenging league matches coming up in the next nine days. We need a couple of decent results and performances at least to get our season back on track, otherwise I fear it will be a tough winter looking towards the bottom of the league rather than the top.

Sadly that is a pretty fair summary of where we are. Talk of new blood in Danny Fs post match interview. Whilst it may be needed lets hope that doesn’t lead to yet more major chopping and changing. I think injuries have allowed us to be blown off course and we need to go back to preseason lineup and formation. |
