Yeah - they'll probably run up a cricket score away at Barnsley on the final day. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little whitt Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 14 hours ago, Arrested development said: Should of been 3 easy. Dion and Victor missed easy chances. It's all about results now and after today it's us derby and peterboro playing for the last two playoff spaces My only main worry is Victor just doesn't look like he can hold the ball up. Everything bounces off him. I think he's a box player like Dion, his goals are all penalty box and he doesnt do enough outside the box. Nlundulu looks better playing with Dion, but Nlundulu doesn't look like he's going to score. See what he looks like next season but right now he doesn't look worth the half a mil outlay. Think what iE is looking at in the last few games Is the Dion and Victor Partnership for next season AS them are the Two who have Contracts and if its not working Needs to buy in the Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Mj and Bradley outstanding created a lot of chances second half similar to burton - my concern is get in the play offs against top teams and all the missed chances cost us. watched the papa johns highlights last night and taking 2 of your first 3 chances takes the wind out of the opposition. for all the good work we did yesterday, one deflection or balls up late on costs you.

Lostock Whites Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Regardless what the table says, I expect Accy to be even more difficult of a challenge than Shrewsbury, they are shit but will be fighting for their lives But we play like we did 2nd half and should've no problems.

W.cramp Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Dont want to slag him off bu vics game needs to improve, how many times is his 2nd touch a tackle. In the game at Charlton he excited me when he came on but since then the ball goes to him and I dont expect anything . Oh and I thought the shrews keeper looked decent, know nothing about him but am sure mr Markham and Mr evatt have him noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, we need some momentum and form. So we agree then. See, ye of little faith. I always thought there was a chance I am hoping that our experience of a big occasion at Wembley gets the chance to come to the fore and stand us in good stead.

Thought their keeper was a shocker. Besides the 2 x 1-on-1 saves, he didn't move for anything else. I was thinking at the time, our first shot on target will be a goal, and from memory it was. In contrast, don't remember Trafford having to make a save. Edited April 23, 2023 by Cheshire Youri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) IE’s ploy of tiring the opposition is a loada shite really - start fast & score early, theres nowt wears the opposition down more than being 3-0 down at HT. One lucky goal for them in that goalmouth scramble yesterday & we’re fucked - just like we were against Cambridge. Hit ‘em hard & early and get the game won by the hour mark - then you can relax and rotate players.

Johnnyrotten Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 10 hours ago, Big E said: Still no idea what we bought that burton lad for I'll qualify this by saying JDB had a couple of similar halves of football, and Charles has too where everything bounces off them and they can't get a meaningful touch. It happens for strikers. But if you're talking about a player that made minimal contribution to a game of football, I'm struggling to think of a better example than Adeboyejo yesterday. Not 100% his fault, in that he made runs and there was little attempt to find him, but the few times he did get involved with the ball, that was a poor show by any standards. Kachunga looks streets ahead of him currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unlikely we'll get better, the failed attempts to replace him in January show how hard it is to find someone near his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, along with Dempsey. The energy and effort from KD and CB fantastic. KD has gone from "what does he bring to the table" territory to "must pick" for me. We have other options if Morley, Sheehan, Lee don't play but nobody does that box to box driving the team on and winning challenges consistently like Dempsey.

According to Wiki, Shrewsbury paid a fee to Coventry for him and he signed a 3 year deal that has a year to run. 200+ appearances for Coventry, Doncaster and Shrewsbury no lower than L1 so he's got some pedigree.

In contrast, don't remember Trafford having to make a save. Could be wrong and I haven't watched highlights but I thought Dempsey's header he pushed onto the post and Dion's 1vs1 were both at 0-0. Either way saying 'if you ignore all the good saves he made he was shite' is a bit harsh on a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
