Urgent recall of Alex Moyse

[portugull]

I have missed just one game at Plainmoor this season.

The boys fought valiantly on Saturday but once again we lost to a late goal due to abject defending by the usual culprit.

Please, please Gary recall Moyse from Dorchester and play him at right back.

It is an absolute no brainer. He may be young but he is light years better than at least 6 of your squad that have conceded 66 goals in 36 games an average of 1.83 per game and the 4th worst in the League.

Use a bit of imagination Gary. To try and make you laugh I have been watching Pro Football since before you were born!

For heavens sake please don't sit on your hands because time is running out. Act now.

Good shout to call him back as we are short on bodies, however his position is a defensive midfielder and it would be unfair to play a youngster out of position.
I rate Alex and I think he deserved his chance in the middle. He is certainly better than a number I have mentioned in the past. We have not had a right full back all season who can defend. Again blame the crap recruitment and the brothers Johnson.

[desperado]

Good idea but remember Gary is a bit stubborn and still thinks his team are good enough - they're not Gary and have been proving it for 35 games

Hang on, weren't you on another post calling out Donellan for mistakes in the last 3 games? In that situation we have a CM playing RB, and now you want to do the same thing but with a vastly less experienced player?

No thanks!

If he is recalled him play him in his correct position

UnitedinDevon who do you suggest we play at Right Back? Someone has to play right back.

[DevonBee]

We dont have a right back, we have not had one since Wynter left. Its a problem position since August which has not been addressed amongst many others...........Who is to blame for not recruiting a RB ? Its a choice of Donnellan who is playing out of position or Crowe who cannot defend to save his life !

It has to be Donellan, a loanee in that position would have been far more effective as it would free Donellan to play in the middle whilst Lapslie is absent

Marshall covered it for a bit on Saturday - and although hes calmed down massively - against a winger i can see him reverting back to grabbing the player too much

Donellan is the best option we have

[culmstockgull]

This thread sums up our season perfectly, with ten games left of the season we are having a conversation about who can play right back, way back when we assumed that Crowe would fill the vacancy left by wynter and that has turned a disasster of epic proportions,he has little or no pace, the defensive mentality of a centre forward and doesnt play well with others.
Donnellan has made a good fist of filling in but considers himself a midfielder at heart, if he is not confused by what is expected of him he should be, he has played with a three , a four even a five back line, played all across the midfield never being given the opportunity to settle and become what we hope would be a good player.
Now we are suggesting sacrificing Moyse in playing him out of position in a dysfunctional team, a lad of genuine talent, who I do not want Johnsons dubious coaching talents anywhere near.

Think Crowe was recruited with the full intention of playing him as a right wing back; he had an excellent youth career on the right side of defence, but a lot of people do well there because the onus is very much on attacking; as soon as they're called upon to be full time defenders, they struggle. I'd guess that's why his career stalled. But as a RWB, I think he was a decent addition. The problem was, (and remains) that the defence didn't get any help from midfield, so he (and whoever did the same on the left) kept getting exposed. Now that we seem to have reverted to a back 4, we've had to play Donellan there instead. Obviously some blame lies with management for not bringing a dedicated right back who could play in a back 4, though.

You can get away with it if you have a competent back 3 and a mobile midfield. We haven't really had that. Think we'd be in a far better position if we'd had Lawrence from the start, though.

UnitedinDevon I cannot believe you are saying "it has to be Donnellan"

Just watch the Highlights and see how many goals come from the wide open spaces in the Right Back area.

We have to change it. Shaun Donnellan has proved he is best as an attacking midfielder, remember his MOTM display at Derby County even though we lost 5-0 we were simply totally outclassed by a team that may be in the Championship next season.

Alex Moyse surely deserves a recall after winning Player of the Month at Dorchester. We have to change after one point from a possible 12.

Gary could play Marshall at Right back and Shaun and Alex in midfield were we are so weak especially without Tom Lapslie for the next 3 games.

It may not happen because Gary is stubborn but if we go down, and it looks increasingly, it is down to him and him alone. Come on Gary give the boy a chance.

Why though?
He's not a right back. Throwing him in would damage his confidence for a start....
I don't know what the answer is, but it isn't Moyse.
Are you his agent or something?

[portugull]

SNW I am not his Agent I just want to see him get some games because we are going to need some players with a bit of quality if we are to have even a remote chance of surviving the relegation battle.

I did suggest he play midfield with Marshall at RB and Shaun Donnellan in midfield were he is better suited. Did you not notice?

You need to look at your OP.
And as you insist on saying about "midfield" as well in another post, putting him the midfield would damage him as well.
He's too - and no disrespect here - too lightweight for the type of battle we are in.
Dorchester are a bit different to the Gateshead cloggers ...
