All poor performances. 3 of those games were away From home for a start and the other was against in my opinion the best team in the the league. So what’s the point ?

Matt Lofthouse Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Arse always seems to go with a few more bums on seats at home. The manc loanees were particularly toss today, but there were just too many changes from the off in Midfield and attack so on Evatt that. Losing Toal and santos in the same week at this stage of the season is a huge kick in the bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said we will really struggle with Mbette playing for the rest of the season. We haven’t played well now in the league since the the two 5-0 wins 9 games ago. Tbf its the stage of the season that its all about results, performances are out of the window. We didnt get beat. We shouldve won comfortably if wed have taken our chances and they are fighting for their lives. We had to make changes, theres simply too many games to cope. We didnt get beat and won on friday. Cant smash everyone every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the Exeter and today I thought 4 points were a good result taking account the way we played and player’s availability. I don’t think we’re doing to bad so to cherry pick a few previous games is a bit harsh . we will ride the next couple of weeks then come the end of the season be in the play offs . Then santos back ect fancy us over 2 legs to get to the final doesn’t matter who we play and if they finish 10 points ahead of us in the table Edited April 10, 2023 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 2 in 4 days. IMO todays selection was predictable and understandable. Charles, including his NI games had played a ridiculous amount of football. As had Dempsey (whose court case is tomorrow). I’m sorry but it baffles me why, after one poor result, suddenly Evatt gets questioned and criticised. It’s a modern, reactionary, x-factor style response after 2 amazing victories.

But I stand by the fact that the points total and perhaps more importantly, consistently average performances for some time now are a massive concern. Thank God Derby are blowing up too.

We are one month away from the end of the season, they had 2 weeks off and we need results. today was shit. He got it wrong. No great drama with him but this today means next year I will be more than likely able to box off Exeter rather than any new championship grounds. I am ok with this but it doesn’t stop it being shit.

TM Trotter Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Lots of criticism flying about for the starting lineup. I didn't have any there to be honest. OK, yes it was a bit pedestrian and not enough showing for an out ball, but it was comfortable. And it's a squad game, coming towards the end of a long season - there had to be some changes! My only... query... towards IE's decisions regards the subs coming on just after the goal. Sure, Nlundulu offered a lot (more so than Victor, who I'm still not sure about), but hooking the more defensive Thomason for Kachunga was a strange risk. Felt like an attacking sub you'd make when 1-0 down, not up! Never mind. We were fortunate to win at Exeter, unlucky today. On Thursday, we'd have all happily taken 4 from those 6, and we have got that. To those suggesting we should be pasting the likes of Cambridge because of our respective league positions- it's going to be a hard few weeks for you. A lot of upcoming opponents are going to be scrapping for survival - I honestly cant see any 'easy' games left - home or away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 54 minutes ago, Eddie said: We only looked like we could play football after he made the first changes and brought on our better players - that left us 30 mins to win the match, rather than 90 if they’d have started. What the fuck he was thinking with the 2 after our goal, decimating our midfield when we just needed to see it out (and had a shakey defence behind) is almost as baffling. As I’ve said, it’s purely in isolation and doesn’t reflect on overall thoughts towards him, but he got it wrong today and if he’d have only even got it half as wrong then we’d have won. Pretty much where I am with today. Sholawhatever he is called look terrible. How does he start ahead of Lee ? Mbette (whatever he is called ) was worse but not sure we have another option. The subs on 60 minutes change the game but we need more so he has Big Dan (looked a lot better than Big Vic) and Tequilla ready , but when we score surely we do not need to rush the subs. Legohead Thomason had made a couple of big tackles. Surely 'sit down lads for 5' is the right call ? It opened up the game so we had chances but they started chucking attacking players on and we drop 2 points. I thought the foul that led to the goal was a penalty anyway btw.

I’m convinced they’re running out of steam with their ageing squad (and no pre season).

We trust the squad. Some took their chance, some didn’t….We freshen up and go again. We are still in a good position, it’s in our hands, that’s all that matters. This time now gives the other lads a chance to be back and make a difference at the end of the season” A bit too positive for some to take I realise after a draw at home to a relegation side. But I think that is a realistically positive approach to take with all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
