Mantra Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 Chances I can remember are 1. Toal 30 yarder 2. Toal free header 3. Lofted ball to Maghoma in first half on right hand side. Shot blocked from 7 yards. 4. Ogbeta shooting near post in second half when he should’ve crossed it for Victor 5. one or two low crosses that got blocked. On another day would’ve fallen to one of our players but didn’t. 6. Sheehan free kick that went just wide so we did have chances to score but absolutely nothing for Victor or Collins and nothing for JDB and Jerome when they came on. And only 2 of those were from open play Quote

I keep reading we have gone back since we 'replaced' him Id agree we have struggled but id argue thats more due to ripping the guts out of team Even one of the main critics @radcliffe whitewho kept banging on about fatigue and injuries seems to be forgetting that now Somethings not reet but its too easy to lash out at all and sundry Quote

I made a post about our forwards not having a shot on target And in that league table you are viewing are we in a automatic promotion spot???? No point in spending around 2m on our frontline if they are not getting the service...........I have come to the conclusion you know fuck all about football and just a wind up merchant Quote

As it was last season. We fell short in the big games and it ultimately cost us. This season has been no different. Theres not a hope in hell we have the balls to go to Derby or Barnsley and get a result. Play offs will be de-ja-vu. We just cant handle the pressure and as much as I like Evatt and back him, his ingame management is highly questionable. Think we might be over estimating Derby Their home form is relatively poor, lost four so far and it's their away form where they are picking up most points Derby fan I know (s/t holder) says they are playing poorly and just scraping points and have plenty injuries I know we haven't been playing well of late but if Charlton can go there and win, I wouldn't completely write off our chances Quote

gonzo Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 Weve just lost at Blackpool and Wigan who are bang average. On paper we walk over both of them. We cant handle occasion. Heads will go. Quote

You obviously know better than me, and Ian Evatt. So what's the obvious solution that means we win every single game? Quote

And don't we know it! Think they've only got one forward who is 34 and are relying on midfield for goals If there was ever a chance for us to finally win there this would be it This obviously relies on us turning up but the chance is there Quote

Which it was. Most of it was comical. I get it that folk have opinions but the way some piped up you would have thought they owned a Cat 1 Uefa coaching badge. Knobs! Quote

Move the ball quicker through the lines, drop Maghoma his style of play slows down our transition passing, drop JDC his final ball is appalling, start Collins and have him drop into the pockets to collect the ball and be the creative force in the final 3rd. Couple of simple fixes, the pedestrian passing in low impact areas does nothing but bump up possession stats that Evatt can tug himself off on camera to. Quote

Stop playing with Cogley on one side and Williams/Iredale/Ogberta/Ashworth on the other side Mix it up play through the middle give our forwards some service Evatt and the way we play has become predictable.......We have some seriously talented players for league one but they are not all playing to there full potential. It is easy to throw that out at me......second in the table and you know more than Evatt blah, blah, blah I will throw it back to you any decent manager would get our squad promoted Already said Evatt deserves to stay until May.........Then he will either lead us to the Championship or need replacing Quote

It's not up to me. Who do you think should replace him? There must be somebody out there with a record of winning every single game in a League 1 season, seeing as that is what some of you expect.

The Portsmouth manager, had never heard of him before but not my job too, but massively overtaken Evatt in half the time. Someone like him please. Quote

We're just misfiring due to a couple of months of terrible luck and injuries. Our first choice GK, Captain, and top scorer have all been side-lined through no fault of their own ffs. Not to mention the rest. Apply that to any team in the land and they'll struggle. Quote

Agreed but that team there last night should be beating Wigan. Same on Saturday. Quote
