I'm on a coach with managers and coach's you have links to various coach's, players, and clubs locally, including Carver as it happens. Anyway the rumour is that Gateshead are after Fenton to be their manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Fantastic day from start to finish. 5am start home for 1am. The Torch taken by Shields fans. Banter was good with not a hint of bother. Beer shit - £4.50 for weak lager served in a plastic glass! Where's the offy? Match flew by in bright sunshine and fair result in my view. Denvers run for Shields second was moment of the match...nay, the day! Wonderful delivery! For those gave up on NUFC get yourself along and watch YOUR local team. Shields have definitely benefitted. Roll on next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Good match - a lot better than lower league football used to be - no Route 1 at all Good turn out at the "Globe" opposite Baker St. Tube beforehand - loads of flags and banners Shields had about 6000 spectators, Glossop around 3500 all on the N side lower tier New Wembley is better than the old pile - much better sight lines and seats but the choice of beer (Carlsberg or Tetleys) is grim - plus for some reason the men's bog at the east end looked like a converted Ladies (ie mainly sitting) with a vast queue at half time Glossop played something like 4-1-3-2 and Shields 4-4-2 Main difference from the upper leagues was the way players never held the ball at all, and when they'd passed it they stopped; very little choice for the man in possesion First half was pretty cagey - Glossop looked slightly the bettter side but neither keeper had a lot to do Second half they scored from a corner after SHields had looked pretty good - started to get a bit desperate but by 75 minutes the Glossop guys were tiring badly - so were some of the Shields team but they were fitter overall and got a deserved equaliser late. By the time we were in extra time people were out with cramp all over the field - it always used to happen in FA Cup Finals in the 50's & 60's - unfit players, very grassy pitch after a season of playing on mud-heaps. At one point Shields had 5 guys streched out and Glossop three Shields got a really well worked early goal and after that it was just a matter of hanging on Really good day out, lots of singing (and a minutes applause at 17 minutes observed by both sets of supporters) - the fittest team won Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenton has them fit indeed. A fair few games are won in the second half as the opposition lags. And he rarely encourages long ball and its pretty much played out from the back routinely.

I was really impressed with the technique yesterday in terms of control, passing, etc and for a while I was struggling to spot the difference versus top-level players. I think the difference is (and it's clearly an important difference) decision-making in the final third. The final ball was never quite there but all of the other stuff, in other words the basics, weren't far off what I'm used to seeing. Also there's the fact that Premier League footballers are stronger and bigger and fitter, but that's honestly the end of it IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
