masi 51 37 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I cannot see us finishing outside of the playoffs now . Then it is a lottery. September and October we reached our lowest point footballing wise in our history. Andersons tenure was horrendous as was the opening day fixture 18 months ago when players refused to travel. I am comfortable in both the owners and the present management team and yes Evatt made some awful errors in the first few months of the season with obviously the goalkeeping situation and that awful system he played week in week out. The goalkeeping situation is not resolved but they are keeping this Jenson underwraps for a reason. This squad is only going to get better and if we dont go up this year i would take this team on the opening day of next season. Crowds will soon be back in the stadium and tonight i am beginning to think our climb back is well and truly underway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless your are talking about the last 5 mins, which is pretty understandable seeing the work he’s put in Tue/Sat last 3 weeks Think you've misread his post like a couple of others did. Consensus is he was MOTM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hats off to both him and Santos, keep it going lads. I was the same but he has become a real integral part of the team... Should have put his laces through it rather than back heeled though 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mantra 100 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 BTW Santos is favourite for POTY, been solid as a rock most of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Feelgood 25 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just an aside, but Mansfield lost (again) tonight. I hope Nigel's OK. Pray for him. 🙏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arrested development 56 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Santos deserves player of the season. He's been immense. Thought that was probably the most comfortable win of the season. This league really is shite if they have won 4 on the spin. We just looked comfortable. Much better in possession. Switching from a 3 to a 4 at the back has been the most important thing we've done .

Blondi 119 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Reverting to a back 4 and the signing of MJ Williams holding the fort, well done Evatt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianofcleveleys 76 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Back four and two holding, with the injection of quality, has been the making of Baptiste and Santos, and Jones too, who's been really solid and tidy last few games. John obviously at least next level up and has added reassurance on that side. I wouldn't mind seeing Thomason's stats for tonight, a couple of ragged, tired passes late on, but for 80 minutes his pass percentages must have been off the scale. Many of those were in tight, pressurised areas but he never stops wanting it and shows no fear. Having a little rest last week maybe did him some good, his energy levels were great tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bolton va va 381 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Some thoughts on reflection.......good luck to anyone saving that penalty !! A Scunt player charges into & flattens another Scunt player.......free kick to Scunt !! Sarcevic should be starting on Saurday & what the fuck did Madison look like ? He's trying too hard.

marple whites 104 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Great tempo first half, but only scoring 1 did leave me feeling nervy until the second went in. hats off to all players today, worked tirelessly closing down and a very professional performance. agree about Baptiste, he has made me eat my words - so hats off we finally got a penalty as well !

Very nervous until that second went in. We are exceptional in the first half; their change in tactics put us on the back foot until the substitutions. Williams MOTM again and many good performances including all of the back 4, Thomason and Isgrove. Sarc did well when he came on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only brief, but Madison looked sharp, nearly worked an opening for a third. It was pointed out him being late up (early hours of last Wednesday morning) before a game tweeting. I can imagine him, swilling bourbon from the bottle, with a fag, hammering some lady and typing out messages. Then dragging his hung over arse out of bed, grabbing any left and right shoe out of his stash and slinging them into a bag. Like a scene from Californication. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
