The same team is on the Evening News website. Be surprised if Nigel Clough is checking RWs posts. Have you seen his input on the Politics thread, he makes stuff up to cause arguments.

JDC gets some grief, I do think Christie is a better player but JDC gets forward more and that helps ACD.

Have they cancelled the tractors ?

Unless they have a string of injuries……

What is it they say about continuing to do the same thing and hoping for a different outcome ? We have played well in some away games so the ‘unlucky’ point has some legs, but 4 of the points we have won have come from goals injury time, so equally we could be worse of. Early season every other shot was going in, Orient Blackpool and Barnsley all 1-1 draws with a combined 5 SOT conceded. It was freakish. The keeper seems to have improved (hope that does not curse him tonight) so that side of things should be better and we have 4 points from last 2 away games, Luton and Huddersfield looked like tough games too. But it is against the well organised hard working mid table teams , like Mansfield were it has gone wrong for what seems like years now, we were outplayed at both Burton and Northampton in the end after missing very good chances to go ahead. It seems obvious to drop an extra midfield player in especially as the 9 and 10 in current system away from home are hardly involved. We certainly should not just be hoping they have a load on injuries and do not turn up. 😂😂

Thanks for sharing 😂

Think we parked on station car park last year. Pay and display got away ok

No I was nt.

Take it he had left Social Media again today

The idea we need Mansfield to have 8 or 9 players out with injury to go there and win is nonsense. If you think that you might as well write the season off. We need to turn up and play with the right system and attitude , which was your point 3. Most of Saturdays team won’t be playing tomorrow. It is gone and forgotten the players who have played as we have caught up after the slow start just need to pick up the away form.

1. As bad as Saturday was the players have shown over last couple of months they are good enough and hopefully professional enough to motivate themselves to improve. Not saying SS should not have bollocked them 2. No disrespect to Mansfield but we should not be relying on them being short of players to beat them. 3. There is the expression ‘earn the right to play’ which matches your point and underpins our away form. We do not do this enough, hopefully changes tomorrow.

Team will be interesting TSL Christie Toal GJ Conway Simons Erhahon Sheehan ACD Dempsey or Forss Burstow Works for me but if asking full backs to get forward JDC is an option although I see on social media he is to blame for most of the problems in western civilisation.

3 in midfield is a must, sitting deep less so. At the moment we end up with the 9 and 10 as virtual passengers with no service. The wingers spend more time coming back than going forward. I would question 2 wingers and a ‘10’ away from home. Just leaves us short elsewhere.

Sorry to hear this mate, I am worried ours is not far off. Dread to think about it. Only person in our house that I get on with most days 😂. Dogs are fucking great.

I feel sorry for lads who do away games with me. Every game ‘the fucking 2 in midfield does not work.’ We have played well in some away games but equally 4 of those points have come from injury time goals, 1 at Orient and 3 at Huddersfield

Aye, not sure what the barge is like in January !

Trains booked ! Only £35 return

Good point, explains why we improved so much when the subs came on. 😂👍😎

I am struggling to keep up. It seems some players who we would be fending off bids from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus after beating Bradford are now a few days later on the verge of being shipped out for free as they will never make it as professional footballers ! I think some reactions are slightly OTT which is unusual on here.

The problems away from home are nothing new. Playing 2 wingers with 2 forwards does not work as has been clear for weeks. The lack of midfield is ridiculous given we have numerous players who can play there.

We had a charity day when I worked near Worcester and helped out at local kennels for abandoned dogs, bit of gardening then dog walking in afternoon, was brilliant. Some scarey looking dogs but all soft as could be. Went back next year and did the same but agreed to scrap the gardening.

That is why I would look at bookies odds, in games where we are fav it is not reasonable to expect at least a point and hope for 3 away from home. Turning some of those draws into wins is important. For the rest of the season I will disappointed any home game we do not win. To be clear I am not expecting us to win every home game. And when we drop points ain’t the end of the world.

I think winnable is an awkward description, as all games are winnable. I think for all games between now and mid Jan when we play away at Stevenage we will be favourites with the bookies to win. But the odds of us winning them all will be pretty high. We need get some better results away from home, as everyone gets fit be interesting to see how SS tackles that
