Of the away games at eg Orient, Exeter, Stevenage, Northampton, Wigan - which games did the opposition have the better players on paper and would we have swapped their starting line up for our's? Of course bad results happen even to the best sides, but the inability to win away at top half sides (and not many at home), its not explained away by a couple of injuries (which happens to most sides). I don't agree. We lost arguably our three most effective players in Baxter, Rico and Dion. And then our second striker not long after. I doubt there's many clubs in the division who wouldn't get wobbled by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome was far from our worst performer today either. To be honest, the thing that wound me up most about the two week break was the horrific set pieces and everyone except Toal looking knackered! Jer0me is wank and I’m genuinely miffed by what you’ve seen about who has shown more in the last few weeks unless you’ve watched training ? Hes been an awful signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I said it before the match, but if the team can't get up for the opportunity today, after Derby lost last week, they never will. Probably the best squad in the league has been performing like a lower mid table side since December. Whole thing is a shambles. It's playoffs and getting knocked out by anyone with a bit of bottle I'd say. Whatever you think of Evatt his performance last two thirds of the season has been abysmal in terms of results.

There was another team on the pitch , a horrible team to play against on a postage stamp of a pitch .Only Oxford in the top eight have beaten them on their own ground. It’s actually not over yet & I agree we need a massive upturn in form but Christ what we need is for our supporters to get right behind these lads & stop whinging .

Johnnyrotten Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, Greg_BWFC said: Correct. We needed 1 goal today and drew another blank when we could least afford it. Not sure where folk are getting the idea that we'd paste anyone at Wembley if we got there too- because we beat Plymouth? Different stakes playoffs. I must admit its a head scratcher to me too. For arguments sake Peterboro at Wembley, with their pace up front, how is that going to help us compared to playing them at a tighter game at London Road? Would we by physically stronger defending set pieces because its a bigger pitch? I loved the cup win at Wembley as much as anyone, but it means bugger all when it comes to a tight, edgy play off final when we've got a team allowing us the ball, defending deep and knowing we don't break down the better teams. Saying that its a problem I'd love to have, I'd snatch your hands off for a play off final then just hope its our turn for things to go our way.

Hes been an awful signing Thing is mate he wasn't even meant to be playing. There's 5-6 players above him if you count CMG. He was moving in for a coaching role and was only meant to be cover. We are at bare bones with only 3 fit strikers and none of em are any good. Maybe he just thought give CJ a go as Bod has been bloody crap starting. We can all blame Evatt for the lack of tempo, lack of ideas and bottle but I'm not sure we can blame him for having 4 forwards out injured including our first choice two.

Lostock Whites Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The team as good as they can be, just reek of weak mentalities. Go behind, their heads drop and it never seems like they belief they can turn it around. Tough away game, bottle it 9/10. Now Evatt mentioned how the players were fearful and on Monday its going to be a massive crowd too and the crowd needs to be positive. It just feels like these players will crack under anything. Wembley aside, even when we've got a packed out home crowd it appears going into it, that it might be detrimental if anything, which is absurd. It seems like there's always an excuse for them not to perform and get the job done. And that in the high pressured environments they crumble. No signs of a promotion side to me. Which is frustrating because on our day we can be unplayable. Just feels like the players mentality is weak when it matters. It's hard to put a finger on it, but I'm sure we can all agree that there's just something missing in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair arguments but little justification for starting him over Bod with 2 weeks off. We have given this to Derby. It makes me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, Whitesince63 said: All the usual bollocks, what did we expect? That was abysmal today let’s not try and gloss over it. There was just no spark in them at all and that’s by far the worst game I’ve ever seen from Santos, right from the first few minutes. Playing like that he had no right whatsoever to finish the game, he should have been off with Toal to CH and Iredale at LCB. The problem with Evatt is that he’s already made his mind up before the game who’s coming off and when. Ogbeta was our most constructive player down the left but yet he still hauls him off yet leaves Santos on who nearly gifted then two goals. I’ve been behind Evatt up to now but I’m rapidly losing faith in him after today because that was just atrocious and he did nothing to improve it. 🤨 I'm genuinely not sure what IE did today that would change someone from being behind him to losing faith. What was different today? You said he's already made his mind up before the game, if that's the case and you were behind him previously, no reason to change today, for better or worse the only difference today was starting Jerome for the 1st time.
