Sounds a bit God-squad too.

Currently watching a new series "Under the Banner of Heaven"- all a bit dodgy this religion lark! 😀 

Definitely that.

Should be deleted.

Don’t confuse your occupation with your religious beliefs.

Remain professional.

It is quite common is sport for folk to cross themselves, or have a little prayer beforehand.

Sometimes the man upstairs gets a mention too when they're interviewed.

Each to their own, but not for me.

Cambridge a poor team. Wish we could have got a third but a win is a win. Think we can beat anyone on the day but also capable of losing to anyone. That's sport. Showing my age but still think we are missing a 'real' centre forward type player who throws himself into that five yard box, has an instinct for the direction of crosses and anticipates any kind of deflection. Maybe they don't exist anymore. Really hope that Dion is back for Barnsley. A win and we're back on track.

See that’s what is great about football, people have different opinions about the game.

i see it completely different to casino and others, we have the ability and talent to have walked this league , but have a stubborn  manager who won’t change and it has cost us to many lost points to win the league, don’t fancy us in the playoffs 

You're suggesting we're a gnat's cock off 2nd in spite of Evatt rather than fundamentally because of the culture he's built into the playing side of the club since he walked through the door?

Can't agree with that for a second.

Let’s have this discussion this time next week, when we’ve played 2 away games against better opposition than Blackpool and Wigan

How do you think this squad would do in the championship?

Evatt will be gone come October.....Too pig headed to change his style or mix it up

Hope i am wrong

So are saying we shouldn’t go up because our squad isn’t good enough for the championship and therefore be always also rans in league one

Nope

But you’re implying that we should be so far ahead of every other team in this league that we’re basically ready to compete at the next level.

I doubt more than 4-5 of the current squad are good enough.

We are about where we should  with the players we have.

To realistically suggest Evatt is doing a bad job is fucking demented.

We’re third with 11 games left.

I’ve said he’s been bang average. That ain’t hating. 

Someone has got under his skin though 

Is it the same as those having a go at Coleman? 

Comments on here mean fuck all, I don't think they players come on here 

But if Magohma and Coleman are getting so much grief that we see the response we have, it's all a bit shite

We are in league one, so our players are good enough to get promoted, I didn’t mention next season

I'm with TM. We've all had our moans but IE has built up a great team culture and team spirit and even in the (comparatively) dark days it's been an upward curve. 

Without Evatt and his forward thinking we'd be nowhere near where we are now.

Frustrating as fuck sometimes mind.

We’re third and a game in hand.

Hardly a busted flush

Maybe not a popular view, but I thought there were loads of positives today:

Tempo particulalry in the first half so much better.

Collins best game for us so far, more to come hopefully.

Loads of really good chances created - not all finished to be fair.

Tommo had a great game, his shooting has improved immeasurably.

Ogbeta, Maghoma and Vic decent - the God squad.

Yes they were poor, but a confidence giving win.

Me neither.

We do have a good squad - assembled by him- but so do others.

How on earth one squad can be considered so superior to another top team's I don't know. Several clubs have spent a bit, and accrued a decent clutch of players, some even from the league above.

That said, I think there are some justified criticisms at times.

As for whether the squad could cope with the championship: it's immaterial. No one knows who we'd still have and who would be brought in, let alone which ones would make the step up.

We've built season on season- as FV intended- and if we did the same in the championship, reaching the play-offs in the second season, we'd be pretty happy.

Right foot too!

Another pointer to our development; we came up with Cheltenham and Cambridge iirc.

Not sure about Maghoma but criticism of Coleman seemingly gone beyond fair criticism and abuse directed at him and his wider family… that’s bang out of order.

Aye, I get being pissed off during a game but to either search for or find your yourself in the presence of a player's family and give them shit as well it's mental

Thoroughly professional performance from start to finish. Cannot really ask for a more convincing home win. crowd still not happy just can’t win every game 6-0.

Cambridge fans some of best I’ve seen this year at the macron it didn’t go un noticed. 
 

take care over the weeekend

When teams play the low block you've got to find ways of getting in behind. Maghoma can be frustrating but he has ability to beat a man and create overloads and we need players like that. The second goal was because he made it happen by beating a man and playing a great through ball. We need to do more of that when teams sit back. Would be nice to see some midfield runners going beyond the strikers every now and again. Sheehan has that ball in his locker but we never seem to have any runners from deep.
