Wanderlust Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 11 minutes ago, auckland_bwfc said: Said this to me mate in the ground, did you notice when we did all the sidewards stuff Barnsley players barely moved an inch, they took up positions In two banks of four and didn't hound us down. Apart from a bit of chasing from their front men when we had it at the back, they didn’t have to move so much because our movement up front wasn’t up to it and when balls were played between the lines they often won it or won the second ball after a miscontrol - less so after the subs came on and we weren’t faffing around so much. Vic and Dion were chasing their CBs too. I guess they knew it was going to be played to feet rather than into the spaces so they just hung around and stuck a foot in. Ultimately it became a game of not making mistakes at the back and we made plenty unfortunately. Thing is, we’ve seen the team play much better but usually that’s when we have a lead. i have faith in the manager and he must surely have analysed the shit out of it, but I think we’re still a tweak or two off it sometimes. Williams must be miffed btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer the emotions of that rather than going through an Exeter 8-0. Baxter was immense in net, two saves inpaticular where an average league one keeper let's through them. MOM. I thought demps and Paris did well in a battle and didn't go hiding. And Collins gave us a glimpse of what is to come. Taylor was on a hiding to nowt. Thrown in in the middle of the three , in our system, in a real tough game. Think he will come on and do well in future games , Deffo a player there. But overall, a weird one. Could have been three baht down and then leave a little bit disappointed we didn't nick the 3. Outstanding save by their mon in the 87/88th min 4 minutes ago, auckland_bwfc said: I thought Paris did well, doesn't panic when it seems everyone else around him is, creates space with his ability to change the direction if play. Yeah his shot late second half was dog shit but i fancy him to hit the goal more often than not there. Think people forget these guys are kids and are with us because they're no finished article. I think he'll ultimately play at a higher level longer than any of our regular midfielders. And I'm a big fan of all of them. But only time will tell. And how good was josh earl for them! An example of someone that's come on since we saw him in a bwfc top Well done sir 👏 Just read through the comments. Yours was the best review. Then as I found myself thinking am I seeing something different about Maghoma as I thought he had a good game, so there needed to be a response to the doubters, I saw your follow up post- spot on 👍 Good game, good point.

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 3 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3 By the way Baxter waved the defenders forward for a hoofed goal kick in the second half and it got a massive cheer. Probably the most tinpot thing to happen at our stadium since Wigan last showed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefinfrandsen Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Baxter proved his class second half , two top draw saves, really strange game though. First half we did well and had them penned in for long periods and sensed the goal was coming. They could have been out of sight first five or ten minutes of the second half , so to grab a point feels like a point gained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1969 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Don't really know how to feel about the game.We were very good at times but piss poor in others Bod and Collins helped change the game in our favour.Maghoma always tries to do one thing too much but will improve with experience Thought Connel should have seen red in 1st half for throwing a elbow but ref bottled it and was piss poor all game Mom between Deps and Baxter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) A draw not a disaster by any stretch. Didn’t deserve it as they missed some glorious chances to go 2 up. I am worried that with the exception of Carlisle we’re simply not playing consistently well in the league, just edging games. Need at the very least 9 points from the next 4 games because it gets very difficult after that with 4 out of 5 away and three of those very tough.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 3 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3 That was mostly crap, with a brief spell of average. They fucked us up changing ends and we never got over it. All that sideways stuff is not working. Iredale and Toal both played fuck with keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring someone with a brain on for one of them. Yes but what about all the unseen work Vic does? No, me neither, I prefer the stuff I can see with my own eyes that Bod brings. Anyway, that was a breathless, superb game of football. Credit to both teams, all our team including subs played well (apart from the front 2). Dempsey back to the player I'd forgotten he was, absolutely superb engine and drive; Sheehan first half took a physical battering and didn't let it put him off, pure quality. Toal another one that went through the wars and refused to give an inch. Really enjoyable stuff, probably the game of the season here along with Blackpool maybe. Baxter absolutely fantastic saves, absolutely won us a point, for all our possession incredible that he must have made 5 great saves while Barnsley's keeper made one. Bodvarsson an absolute rolls royce last 25 minutes, plays on a different level and had a huge hand in the goal. Ashworth has started about 4 games this season and has scored 3 superb goals. I'm exhausted after watching that so god knows how the players feel, with a game to come on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizlar Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Going 1-0 down so early was always going to make it hard against Barnsley they are a tough team but we battled and got a point which felt like a win to me. We just struggle against teams who play a certain way against us but with the signing of Collins he looks a player who as the nous to create chances. Vics control is awful.

Duck Egg Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 A draw was probably a fair result. They had chances to go 2 up but by the end we were the only ones who were going to win it. New lad up top looks lively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L/H White Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 All bark no bite until Collins and Bod came on, class apart from the two that went off.

Greg_BWFC Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Good point that, all told. Baxter made 3 superb saves to keep us in it. Thought Ashworth was pretty good. Got stuck in and might have a bit of the shithouse about him (lucky not to concede a pen in the second half, he had a little kick off the ball at the lad he'd been battling all game ). Don't get the stick Maghoma is getting. Has a go at taking people on, just needs that final bit of composure, that's all. We'll beat this lot at their place.

A top 2 side will win the homes and odd away game at their fellow chasers. I have no confidence of us winning at Derby, Peterborough, Barnsley etc. We're a good side but not top two material yet I don't think.
