We either need to rest him and bypass that phase of play or let them kick lumps out of him and hope the ref is tough, but having seen the last few times he's been targeted I don't hold out too much hope. I would put Morley and Thomasson in there to take the fight to them. Morley a no for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we need our best team not weaken it by taking out our best players. We need to be in the refs ear right from the start and instead of the gentleman he is jumping straight back up again, Josh needs to play on it a bit like others do. Evatt must know what to expect in this so whatever they do we need to make sure we play on it where we can and George needs to be told not to react when he will also be targeted. We’ve suffered too much shithousery from other clubs and it’s time we did a bit ourselves. In principle you would play Sheehan. Unfortunately though, for some of our tougher games, it hasn't worked. Might not be entirely his fault because of weak refereeing, but it's about getting the best result on the day. Can't be asking for increased shithousery from us neither, but expect George not to get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 4 Site Supporter Share Posted March 4 Thing is, if he gets booked we lose him for a game or two. Leave him out v Barnsley then Derby, we’ve lost him for a game or two. I’m surprised it’s even being discussed. He knows he’s walking a tightrope so it’s down to him and his self-discipline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may work tomorrow, but if IE chooses to tweak things, you can't blame him. If Sheehan plays deep to pick up the ball it means we either lose a body further forward or the WBs have to be in attack mode and Evatt may not risk that. he could go with a more solid WB combo and midfield and play Maghoma at 10 seeing as he is the most attack minded passer. Thought he was doing well but having watched the video of Maghoma v Cambridge on BWFC Analysis on Twatter I’m convinced he could be the key to unlock Barnsley - loads of attempted killer passes most of which were successful notably Collins goal. That said if he goes down that route Maghoma will become the target for shithousery. A real talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Barnsley are probably the most 'solid' team in the promotion hunt. Very organised and everyone knows their job. We all know exactly how they will play and how they will try and stop us playing. Given this you would hope that we can come up with a half decent plan to combat this based on our strengths. Let's just go there and fucking batter them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady the ship and be ready to go toe to toe for the last 11 games. I fancy us more against Derby and Pompey than I do against these lot. It would be a good point had we got 3 from either Blackpool or Wigan. Sooner or later you will have to beat teams around you. Thats the way it works. Win on Tuesday it’s on. Accepting a draw will mean we haven’t won an away game in 4. That doesn’t get you promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure Evatt works on plans to counter the opposition just to play our game and trust that’s enough if everyone does their job which is why I’d be surprised if we don’t start with the eleven we had against Cambridge. Is that being stubborn or sticking to the plan? I’m not sure but whatever he does I just hope it’s enough because a defeat could be terminal for the automatics.

Exactly. We have put ourselves in the position that we have to consider the games against Barnsley, Derby, Stevenage, and Pompey as opportunities to stick one on the opposition.

Indeed, it’s a great chance to take points off our rivals. But we won’t win them all and they will be thinking the same about taking points off us. I think Barnsley is the toughest of those and that’s why I’d be happy with a point tomorrow. To be clear, I wouldn’t be happy if we only got 4 draws from the above 4 games.
