Lostock Whites Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Definite reality check, back to back 5 -0s can get most people giddy, but I always said personally I wouldn't dare to believe in autos until after seeing how we handle today. Not a chance now, Barnsley also keep winning and are just 3 points behind with 3 games in hand. Top 6 is the priority as it's always been and we are in danger of slipping down with others having more games to play. On our day we can be unplayable and can be easy to get carried away. But I just feel that when it really comes to it, we bottle it e.g. Plymouth, Sheff Weds, Derby, Wycombe away. We are close but we aren't there yet to get promoted imo. But still lots to be played Edited February 18, 2023 by Lostock Whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 18, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2023 I wasn't there, but it looks like we were second best in all departments. Hope it's not a case of putting all our seasons eggs in one basket on a midweek away at Accy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the lad a chance. It’s early days for Adeboyejo, but his first touch is heavy, he doesn’t seem that strong in the air and he’s not exactly pissed with pace. Apart from that i’ll reserve judgement. 😀 Edited February 18, 2023 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 As tough an away fixture as there is in League 1. When we look back at the season and pinpoint games to kick ourselves over we will be looking at Forest Green and Cheltenham (a) and Oxford (h) not this. Picking up injuries like Dempsey is not what the doctor ordered at all. We need to refocus on consolidating that play off position and I suspect we will. # I would not be fancying getting Wycombe in the play offs.

Whitesince63 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Too many changes for me, I’d have kept the back five and midfield together and definitely started Lee even if it meant missing him against Accy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Our form against the current top 8 is a concern with only 2 wins. That said I would have bitten your hand off to be where we are pre Xmas and I’m convinced we will make the play-offs with a couple of games to spare. Need to win next week before another 2 aways.

Of course he needs a chance but not impressed up to now for half a million maybe more suited to burton style who knows . I suppose kacha would say he was playing in a higher level and prem within last 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auckland_bwfc Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Seen that kinda performance too often the last two years, be nice to lose a 3-2 thriller now and again....😂 We'll be reet, will make playoffs and then it's a 25% shoot out. Victor will come good. Not quite ready for the scrap heap yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we lack that killer instinct being truly ruthless when it matters and that means beating your competition around you. We haven't picked up a single win against Sheff Weds, Ipswich, Derby or Plymouth this season, that's why we will finish below them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re still in amongst it but it was definitely a blow today sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Typical us away performance that really. As we play more conservative away from home there’s less commitment to the press. As a result a lot of our attacking impotence is taken away. The midfield at home smother teams with it. Allows us to build momentum and create pressure. We’re a yard or so off it away. We lose control of midfield, come 2nd best in many 2nd balls and generally find ourselves chasing the game. Territorially we’re on top but very few clear cut opportunities. Our first shot on target in that 2nd half was 81 mins! we’re right back in the play off pack and could conceivably finish 3rd or 7th. move on to weds which in spite of our league positions is a 50/50 game for me. Good performance and victory there and Today is a distant memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostock Whites Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 We destroyed them at our place in August when it was a nice sunny day, got the ball down and played football. Unfortunately football doesn't work like that and we have to cope with their game also at their place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change isn’t just players it’s formation and playing players in their usual position. Today we changed the whole back line in reality and it didn’t work did it?
