Thinking about the game today, I think the introduction of Beano changed the game. Midson did well and looks a much improved player but Constable's physicality and direct running gave us the edge over Bradford. Played a part in both goals I seem to remember. Great player is Beano.

i think Beano is more effective from the bench. Has an energy and a nuisance factor which Barnet, Aldershot and Bradford have all struggled to live with.

Beano looked so effective because the clever, measured link play of Midson, Craddock and Maclean fu.cked them over for 70 mins. An aggressive Beano with a point to prove was the nail in Bradford's coffin.
Midson, Craddock and Maclean to start next game please - they were immense, and they changed the game.

Spot on. Our forward play was a touch stilted until the introduction of Beano. Although he isn't rapid he's a bit more mobile than Midson and he seemed to occupy the defnce a bit more. |

Its hard to judge really. It'd be interesting to consider if we would have won the game had beano started.
Midson though is on something of a hiding to nothing. A good performance has seen him get back into the side but, no matter how well he plays, if constable keeps coming off the bench to score Jack is more likely to end up back in the wilderness.

Beano makes things happen by sheer determination.
He has turned many games for us.
His commitment and heart make him the most important player in the club.

Personally think he's abit wasted as a sub, I know he makes an impact but he should start in my opinion.

It is possible to improve on a winning team so I'd put Constable in for Midson. Tough on Midson but Constable has been more effective. If MacLean leaves this week then we could see a front three of Midson, Craddock and Constable at Northampton.

I am both a huge fan of Jack and Beano....and I was thinking about the dynamic last night. You could forgive Wilder for putting Beano straight back in at Northampton, but a few questions certainly spring to mind..... Would Constable be able to cope with some of the more intricate passages of play we saw yesterday between the front 3 of Midson, Craddock and Maclean? Is Constable the perfect "away Striker" ? Is Beano 1st on the teamsheet anymore (Esp if maclean stays)? Is Craddock becoming top boy regarding scoring goals and who best fits in with him? |

The two substitutions by CW bringing on Heslop and Constable when he did, especially Beano helped change the game around for sure. His power and strength helped get us back in the game, he helped to set up both of the goals, so a great half an hour for him. Yesturday proved we have an incredibly strong bench for this league regardless of who starts the game, with players like Josh Payne, Constable, Heslop and Matt Green all on there.

A good performance has seen him get back into the side but, no matter how well he plays, if constable keeps coming off the bench to score Jack is more likely to end up back in the wilderness. And why not? Midson got back in the starting line up because he scored, so the same should apply to Constable. Even though Midson played well and has looked decent since his return, when he and the other two forwards were on there were quite a few times that we didn't have even one of them pressurising the two centre backs or being in a centre forwards position to receive the ball when we had our possession. Constable changed that when he came on and we immediately started getting chances within the penalty box. If MacLean stays I'd start with him, Constable and Craddock. If MacLean leaves then put Midson in for him. |

Beano and Heslop added that bit of muscle that was needed against a stubbon defence. Beano though was guilty of trying to score when he had a clear pass available to Craddock who was free in space. But who cares, the right result came in the end.

Christ, if Constable can cross, what in bloody hell CAN'T he do? Yep, had a hand in both goals. With regard to Craddock he isn't the physical type of forward that Midson and Beano are, but he sure benefits when either of them are in the middle doing the 'heavy' stuff! It would be interesting to see how well he would do if both Beano and Midson were battering the hell out of the opposition defence! ;D |

If MacLean leaves then put Midson in for him. Spot on, LJS. Beano was central to both goals yesterday and could easily have had a goal himself. Far more play was in and around the penalty area after Beano came on. Jack M did well but he tended to drift more to the wings to pick up the ball meaning less threat when the cross came in as he was still wide. If Steve McLean stays (I really hope so as he is a fantastic player) then he starts with Beano and Tom Craddock at Northampton. If Steve McLean doesn't sign then Beano, Jack M and Tom Craddock should start instead. |

Beano did add something for sure. But I don't think he changed the game. We were already all over them and should have been winning by the time he and Heslop came on.
The two Mac's for me are the ones who have changed us around. We would have lost that game without those two on the pitch.
