Underpants Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Can't understand why we weren't 4 up at halftime. They offered and threatened with absolutely nothing. We should have put this game to bed but this laboured play-out from the back, especially in the 2nd half, was counterproductive. It nearly cost us.

Moderators Zico Posted October 21, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2023 It was such a strange game today 2-0 up and great football and thinking 5-0 @ 66/1 was a cert Then we appeared to take our foot off the gas to to half time Then we appeared to shit ourselves second half Everything that's good about us and everything that's bad about us on one game The main issue being if the opposition are up for it and give us a game we wilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Morley worries me. Technically very good but just seems like he can’t be arsed half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Morley, some real quality at times. Agreed on Paris, worryingly off the pace and if he's not fit it was a stupid substitution at 2-1 to take Morley off for him. Forgot about Cogley. Agree, his worst game by a mile today. Everyone's allowed an off day though. Don't do it again Cogley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough… and it’s on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 21, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2023 Can't put my finger on it but something doesn't sit right. I hope its just players finding their way back to form and fitness but hasn't seemed right since Cheltenham - who we now know are shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we’re always quick to jump on anything to moan at. say the run the week before the break, we lose at Port Vale, win Stevenage win Carlisle there wouldn’t of been as much anger, we’ve won comfortably today, granted could’ve been more but still it’s not good enough in some eyes. might be me how I’m interpreting things.

The issue for me was we didn't win comfortably We were in a position to but didn't take it And because of that the second half was anything but comfortable and was massively relieved at the final whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 22, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2023 First half was great Second half nervier than it needed to be. We need to kill teams off when we’re on top, and have a bit more confidence in ourselves generally. But we’re 4th, we’d all have taken this at the start, and Evatt will be aware of what’s needed. He just needs to graft away and sort it. #EvattOut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 They're not training properly. Look shattered every game in the second half, which is either a fitness issue or mentality issue, both of which should be worked on in training.

Look shattered every game in the second half, which is either a fitness issue or mentality issue. The passing game, keeping the ball & having the opponents run around after is supposed to wear them down ... not us. tbf, over the years honing it down, it did. Hence the plethora of late goals. Maybe it's been worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half, Jerome was "warming up" on WSL and appeared to be shouting orders at Bod and Dan, like an attacking coach. If Jerome can actually share some wisdom from his better days, that's not a bad thing to have. If it means he doesn't play, even better! 711 games 160 goals 0nly 6 in the last 3 years What Wisdom was he giving them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ball from him for the second goal but against dips in and out. All three of them struggled in their own ways with GT not looking comfortable playing wider and Sheehan has a tremendous habit of going missing when the going gets tough.
