April 1, 20242 yr I think people are cautious about getting too giddy, we was all buzzing after Oxford going into derby and we flopped Our differing performance levels are so crazy you don’t know what you’re getting from one to the next Today was excellent hopefully same again next week
April 1, 20242 yr I’ve been saying Collins has been shit. Which he has. It all came good today and it’s a relief more than anything else as it was starting to look like we’d bought a dud. The true test will come in the shape of a (probably) bouncing Portsmouth side

April 1, 20242 yr Great to win today, however goal difference should have been caught up , we were brilliant going forward but again can’t put away chances. The worrying thing is we wee rubbish defensively and a decent team would have scored several goals. To me lots of players off their game , Thomason , magomha( who could have been sent off in the first half) ogbetta, toal Shean and santos. Poor .

In reality I’m probably somewhere in the middle. Not unreasonable to say Evatt's comments haven't been helpful, and certainly not off the spectrum. As they have annoyed fans, they haven't been wise. Neither do I think they will have had an "invigorating" effect on the players. However, they don't appear to have negatively impacted the team neither. They played well, and deserve the plaudits.

Have you ever actually played football?

It worked didn't it? He never called the fans out. Just wants us all together. That a bad thing? Might be an idea to get behind the team instead of all this toxic play acting?

Might be an idea to get behind the team instead of all this toxic play acting? Do you feel it was a dig at the players we had available, as I certainly don't. I genuinely don't think he has that as part of his skill set. Yet. His "mind games" type comments previously have tended to backfire. I just think it was his emotions and frustrations at a lack of numbers, and I reckon the players know this.
April 1, 20242 yr The way our recent fixtures have fallen (and will continue to), and the way we've been playing makes the adage 'take each game as it comes' make sense. We've had a run of tough game-cannon fodder, tough game - cannon fodder, so all I'm doing, rightly or wrongly, is enjoying days like today for what they are without reading much into them. It was great entertainment today, lots to enjoy, onto Sat though now and another tough away game. Can we buck the trend and win one?

Great to see Collins and Bod form a continued partnership and see a real fluidity from back to front. I could watch that happily week after week. Not arsed we looked a tad ropey at the back as we scored 5. Good post Like to think of you and me as the realistic yin and yang on here. The common factor being, we’ll both be there whatever happens, listen to the opposing opinion and shift opinion if needed, give praise and criticism when necessary, but ultimately be happy to be proven wrong if it means BWFC progressing. Todays result doesn’t forgo Evatts poor form this calendar year, but it keeps the season very much alive and believing greater things are ahead 👏

Don’t know what game you were watching but Toal especially was fantastic today for me.
April 1, 20242 yr The only thing we can do now is find ways to win, one game at a time. Next up, Bristol Rovers - and it's our away form that's been the problem. If Derby don't win tomorrow and we win at Bristol, I know exactly how they'll start to feel. We've got to keep that feeling in Derby bellies for as long as possible. They slipped up at Northampton and Wycombe/Cambridge away are a similar type of fixture. If we do our bit then Derby may well drop points in those away games. Parallels from history? Hoping for 92/3 when we caught Vale late, not 90/1.

If we are given yet another chance tomorrow and we don’t deliver on Sat then my head will fall off. Today in isolation was great and anyone who doesn’t enjoy it, then I’m not sure what they will enjoy other than continued success week after week

Poor . Crikey pal - that’s half our team who were poor! 🤣 You may as well chuck in Cogley, (mis-controlled the ball a few times), Iredale (not the quickest) and that only leaves Collins (waste of money), JDB (shouldn’t be starting) and Coleman (he’s no Baxter) to complete the full house 🤣
April 1, 20242 yr We were never ever out of the race. Even Portsmouth have a potential to fuck it up. If us and derby beat them, it could be a 3 or even 4 way battle for the 2 auto spots right to the death.
