Deaks' post-game thoughts ...

https://youtu.be/eMHXZNMss5A?si=Ik3CxwefRSyd5N47

I don't know how I fell after this match.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that we are missing a 20 goal a season centre forward or a centre forward which can hold onto the ball.

We all knew that it was going to be hard this season and I still think we are good enough to stop up.

I think we have 2 parts of the back bone in a great goalkeeper and two centre halfs but our centre mids and forward are missing.

Time to dust ourselves down and hopefully gain some more points on the road next week at morpeth.

If ever a game looked like a stalemate, this was one, but Warrington’s late goal gave them the points. Defences remained on top throughout with neither side assuming control. Second in the league Warrington have only conceded 13 goal in 16 games and they showed why with a defensive minded display then stole the points.
Rylands started the stronger and dominated the ball but without threatening until the 12th minute when Matt Yates was tested for the first time. Ilkeston’s first real opportunity took 30 minutes when Tyrell Waite’s shot on the turn was just too high. Just before half time Ilkeston should have gone ahead when Declan Eratt-Thompson’s cross fell to Waite who fired over from six yards.
Ilkeston made the better start after the interval and Jamie Walker had an effort blocked by a Rylands defender following Larell King’s long throw-in into the box. Warrington seemed content to take a point and were creating little going forward but neither were Ilkeston who made three attacking substitutions in a bid to break the deadlock. In the end though, it was Warrington who grabbed the winner in the 81st minute. It followed a good parry by Yates from Ben Hough’s deflected shot but when the ball ran loose Adama Sidibeh reacted quickest to stab the ball into the net from close range. Ilkeston pushed for a leveller but the Rylands defence was not to be breached and Ilkeston nearly conceded a second from a counter attack but were rescued by Yates. With a couple of minutes remaining King found Zak Goodson who steered his shot wide. Ilkeston had one final chance from a cross into the box by Goodson but it was too high for Ben Starkie and the game was lost. Star performer was the young bugler who played the last post to perfection before kickoff.

Maybe in a minority, but I like the progress Deaks and his team are making. They've been here, what, 10 games, and they've instilled discipline and a terrific work ethic. The best progress they've made is in sorting the defence out. I think we've got a solid defence in Yates, King, Perch, Cox, and Parker. King at right-back was my MoM for the second game running; he looks a good prospect. Perch is a class act and he and Cox are forming a good centre-back pairing, and Parker looks solid at left-back. Cox is 21, King is 21, Parker is 22, and Yates is 24, and these players will only get better and better.

Yes, the front 6 needs a lot more work. At the moment there's no flowing football, no cohesion, no understanding, and we're really struggling to create meaningful chances (although how Waite managed to blast over from 2 yards out beggars belief). If you put Johnny Margetts up front wouldn't he be feeding on scraps, just like Waite and Alex Marshall are doing? Cohesion and understanding take time, and the Marshalls and Minkley have only played a handful of games for us between them. I think we've just got to give the players a chance to build up some game time together, and then we'll find out if they're good enough or not.

Deaks said it would be a bumpy road and we've already had some real ups and downs. Lancaster was a real high and Hyde was a horror show. On Saturday we more than matched the team second in the league and had glorious chances to score 2 goals and win the game. There's no shortcuts and no quick fix. I think we've just got to be patient.

Having said what I've said about our defence, I don't think they'll be too happy about Warrington's winning goal ...

I agree, defensively we now look okay. Larell King looks a quality acquisition at full back with the added bonus of his long throw. The problem is that we have no threat up front. Against Warrington Rylands we only created a few chances and we didn't take them. Deaks has disposed of our high earning players which I'm okay with but we desperately need a striker or we'll slide down the table. You're right we need to be patient while the new players settle in. We’ve played against all of the current top five (Radcliffe, Worksop.Warrington, Hyde and Macclesfield) and we’ve only picked up one point so a position in the playoffs seems highly unlikely. After all of the changes in personnel the aim has to be that we stabilise and stay mid table. 

 

Personally and i think i can talk for a lot of fans here is that i never expected to be in the top ten this season , i will be happy with a mid table finish. This club means more to me to alive and running rather going for the promotion each season as it cant and wont happen most seasons. Just give me a sustainable club that we can all enjoy for years to come.  Yeah a club we can enjoy with some good cup runs would be great ....
