Let’s hope he keeps getting into those positions, as his composure improves he should start scoring a few. Lads decent player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its 1 goal in the last 4 away games, and the goal was after 5 minutes at Accrington, so its 0 goals in almost 4 aways. I'll take a point in any away game this season, but we're still on a bad run.

If we get a positive result and everyone else in bottom half wins, its still a good day, we are just trying to be competitive. I'd rather lose 2 points on the others and draw than lose 7-1 and see that the others have all lost 8-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondi 119 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Decent point today, gutted we didn't get the 3 points as I had us in a £10.00 win treble with Everton & Villa, who both won, I would have won about £260.00, never mind, at least I'm optimistic that we've got a chance of winning games these days!

Reminds me a bit of Ward Prowse with his attitude and dead ball delivery. Injuries permitting he's nailed on to be in our midfield next season assuming its in Div 2 (less likely to sign better players than if we stay up). With Graham and Politic also capable of making it, we arent going to be short of cheap home grown midfielders next season. I hope Politic gets enough encouragement to stay and build his career here because he's got something different to most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members MickyD 985 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2019 Interesting collection of memorabilia in The Coliery. A framed shirt probably adorns the walls of most pubs so close to a football ground but a referee's shirt, signed by the "top" refs of the time. I spotted Mark Halsey's signature then stopped looking when I found Mike Riley and Barry Knight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have difficult periods, you have to be resilient and come through them. “You can keep chopping and changing managers but quite often that doesn’t prove successful as everyone knows.” sounds like he knows is days are numbered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter Biggish Dave 533 Posted December 26, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2019 Still loads of time left this season, I’m not bothered about getting out of the bottom 3 until the 44th game of the season. Keep chipping away and the great escape is on. Hopefully pick up at least 4 points from these 2 home games then I’d be expecting Hill to tweak the squad a bit, get a bit more balance to it and hit February in better nick than we are in now. Would be nice to get our business done early in a busy month. Cracking point today, would take that all day long - and will do in any away game. Up to us to get home form right if we are getting out this mess. Quality save from Remi at the death.
