bolton va va Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 We were much more than one goal better than Derby & being overcritical, we should have scored more & done without the nervy ending.....but we played some lovely football. Santos & Toal were immense, Jones back to his reliability, Dempsey everywhere, both wing backs effective, Thommo makes us more physically competitive & MOTM to Sheehan, just classy. & Derby...pisspoor, quietest of the season support again, with a pisspoor team depending on set pieces, they can't be that bad all the time can they ?

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 2, 2023 Site Supporter Posted September 2, 2023 Sure I heard that Harland had 17 touches in the opponent’s half today. I reckon each of our back 5 had that many touches per attack! Quote

They shouldn't have needed motivating for the Wigan game, so hopefully it was the wake up call they needed. Certainly seems they delivered today. Quote

ianofcleveleys Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Started well, some great, quick, slick football first half, recovered well from conceding, deserved to be at least level if not in front at break. Sending off made the game the sort of challenge we struggle with and it was a faff from then on, got a break with goal, didn't do enough after that to put it to bed. The rash of subs was a bit questionable and we lost our grip last 10 mins as a result. Bit surprising JDB didn't get any minutes after the red card, loads of 'pass, pass, pass, cross' he might have got his head on one or two. Sheehan was brilliant today, allowed to be by Thomason being around him and giving him the freedom to dictate from a bit higher up. Toal being back was a big reassurance, we just about got away with Williams against Mendez Laing as a result. Lot of questions still to be answered about transfer window activity and those brought in but Dacres Cogley, to be fair, is a good find, another solid game and very good creatively first half Only real negative was inability again to deal with crosses / set pieces / corners. We don't do enough to stop crosses coming in then look shaky whenever they do. For a side coached by two former grizzly defenders it's baffling so little store seems to be placed on this part of the game. Derby weren't up to much, nothing to shout about at all Quote
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted September 2, 2023 Site Supporter Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) We were actually better before the sending off..... against 10 virtually everything was played towards our right.... Santos going so far forward was actually a hindrance. We are 2nd in the League, we will improve.... We just need to learn to fight fire with fire occasionally.

Ani Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Very good today. Well top first half would have been a travesty to go in one down. Second better team before red card. Was amazed how deep they dropped. Minor moan Santos and GT picking up bookings when we so dominant . Goal was lucky but something had to go our way. The subs came as they started to press so did not really work, we seemed to rush everything Very deserved 3 points. 'Just fucking shoot' Quote

embankment Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Very very happy with the result. Dempsey outstanding. Charles and Santos so vital to this team. Only disappointment was once the subs came on we didn't create anything. Plus match " buzz" didn't get back to Howfen till 17.46 Quote
gonzo Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Huge result that. We were bang up for it from the start. Sheehan is a class above when hes not being bullied. Id have him further up field, hes got the class to unlock. CMG looked a liability when he came on, no idea why he was put there though We shouldve won by more, the raft of changes stalled that, but protected what we had so fair enough. Getting off Scotts was absolute pig. No trains obviously not helping that. Still outside the bobby shop at 17:50. Quote

Take Hunt Off Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 I hope Evatt doesn’t think Medes Gomez can play rwb, that would be catastrophic. Great win though fully deserved, Sheehan at his best . Should have capitalised on our superiority & avoided the nervy finish. Onwards & upwards. Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Arrested development said: No. He wasn't that good today. Cheap yellow again and didn't really do anything with the ball. Average Glad it wasn't just me. I enjoyed the game, good atmosphere (helped by the weather no doubt) and great to beat a big team. Always hard to judge a performance when the goals are a pen and an OG, and its against 10 men for half a game, it doesn't really answer the question of whether we can create chances and get decent efforts on target. Tomo did OK at times but other times he was dithering, and never wins a challenge fairly. When he was forced to use his right foot he gave away a needless corner with an awful pass back. Williams is still the Williams of last season, I'm not sure which is worse his decision making or his execution. We started well which was great to see, not unlike the Boro game with the opposition made to look poor. Some great possession stuff in 2nd half before the last 15, just frustrating to have no cutting edge. Toal and Sheehan MOM by a mile, Toal is a rolls royce. Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 2, 2023 Site Supporter Posted September 2, 2023 Never wins a challenge fairly? Can't pass, can't turn, makes mistakes. Why does Evatt bother? Quote

gonzo Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Must admit I spent half the game not even realising GT was playing. Quote
gonzo Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Was mad to see the gaff near enough empty at 90 mins with it being so close. Always wonder what the players think? They really need to sort the traffic out, that's why every fucker leaves. Quote

See, I reckon that's a good thing. Means we're not under the cosh and being over run. An good engine still needs a quality oil to run efficiently. Quote
