Notice that a couple of posts have mentioned Bird and how well he played for us.
Know he is at Salford now, but doesn't appear to have had any game time.
Before I suggest we see if we can get him back here Is the lack of game time because he is injured does anyone know | | | |

Yes he's been injured since October now.

He hadn't really made a great start to his Salford career to be honest and wasn't really playing regularly. If/when he does get fit it would be certainly worth asking if he was available. |  |

Yes, he’s injured. Likely for the remainder of the season.

With Mani still presumably absent, the forward positions tomorrow will tell us a lot about if McNulty has been able to not only evolve the options but make sufficient provision in the absence of key options (including international callups) and also, whether he's thought through the relative ineffectiveness of McBride/Smith
I thought the McBride/Hendo starting partnership had something, but there's no knowing Hendo's state of fitness |  |

Although we don’t play a front two, it is definitely the choice of centre forward that has led to McBride (and others) being more effective.
Agreed that McBride looked pretty anonymous with Smith as no.9. That Rodney also went off with little said shows that our forward three can be impacted across the pitch if it isn’t either Dieseruvwe or Henderson centrally.
That both other forward players scored at Altrincham when Henderson started is all the proof that’s needed of that.
Whether we should try a proper two up front is another option. The last 15 mins back that up now. [Post edited 2 Jan 21:23]

What's been really odd is that Rodney's appeared to be playing out on a limb (and a fragile one at that), hence my use of the term "partnership" involving the other two forward players
The defensive and midfield solutions have become really settled but with no centre forward it's as if the entire team becomes unsettled, with the overuse of passing and errors creeping in because of that imbalance up front, much as we saw last season. Getting on the keeper's back due to the lack of options simply demonstrates the lack of insight still
A team with aspirations to topping the league can't afford that. How this is dealt with will determine whether the season will progress as per the first half, or ultimately peter out | |

Yeah, Rodney was poor the other night. When it was Pritchard-Henderson-McBride at Altrincham and Morecambe we looked much more dangerous going forward.
That first half the other night was as poor as we’ve been, with the players unable to mix it up effectively as you said. Although we didn’t pass it about at any more than usual (backed up by the numbers on this site’s Twitter account *), similar to many other wins, we just didn’t retain it when we went longer. It didn’t help that people were poor all over the pitch as well, Pritchard’s performance was quite a shock for example. As soon as we changed the personnel and then formation we were well on top.
Mistakes will be made I suppose, it’s about learning from them. Listening to McNulty and the players, they realise that. Especially as they all know how well we’ve done when sticking to what’s got us to where we are and that includes hard work. We need Mani back and at least one other to come in.
Either way, the criticism hurled at Broome you mention certainly won’t help anyone. Yes, his colleagues could have helped, but it only added to the nervousness as he tried to remain calm.

It's not the amount of passing in the first third, it's the quality that suffers when the prospect of not being able to progress the ball due to lack of prowess ahead of them; similarly with the midfield | |

Yeah, it’s a shame we don’t have the Henderson of ten years ago but with his current ability as a centre forward. Remarkable how he’s mastered the role and yet seems to continually look to improve.
Love how much he looks to be enjoying himself. Irrespective of results for a minute, the last year has been his spell at the club for me. Enjoy watching him as much as when Brett Pitman used to play against us. | |

Agree
The difference between the progression of play at Alty and the latter stages of Hartlepool compared with the "no Hendo" start was there for all to see
It's also possible that his influence off the pitch is as valuable as on it, a fourth member of the management team. Making things look simple is an art, but are our younger forwards good enough to get the picture? | |

Interesting to see the “front three” in the drill on this training video. By the time we play again, we may well have an addition here, however:

Again, it’s strange that we keep showing videos of how we set up in training. It gave away the front three at Altrincham.
Anyway, the good thing about today being off is that Dieseruvwe will hopefully be back by the next league game and we’ve time to get someone else in. | |

Rodney was involved in our 2nd Morecambe goal. | |

Yeah, he was much better off the bench at Morecambe. Sorry my post was reflecting on the games from the start with how the front three combined. And in Rodney’s defence, he too may have been impacted by not having a central striker to link with, much as McBride was.
This isn’t having a go at Smith btw, he has attributes in other ways.
Though, being fair, Burger offered more than Pritchard after the break on Boxing Day too and was a major part in our win. Think the main thing we can now recognise is that whoever is used either side of the centre forward, it’s that it has to be either Dieseruvwe or Henderson in that position for us to be effective from the start of games.
Until, hopefully, someone else comes in. | |
