But we play a brand that is really difficult to execute and at times we haven't done it well enough." 🤦♂️ Perhaps our brand should have been, do the simple things, but do them well.

He just keeled over and appeared to be unconscious - The incident started just as the teams came out. Luckily there were a couple of medical professionals in the crowd who administered CPR & mouth to mouth before word finally got through to the paramedics who arrived arrived with a defib pack. Excellent work from the fans and staff but I can't help think there's easier ways not to sit through evatt-ball

Anyway, joking apart, hope he makes a speedy recovery; be nice to get a visit from a player or two.

Too regular an occurrence. People have cottoned on haven’t they, that he has a short fuse and is easy to wind up. Looks like that Taylor is having a smirk as he shakes hands and Evatt can’t help himself giving something back. He then restrains himself and walks away while he’s probably fuming inside! Wherever Evatt goes next he has to get better with his post match antics
January 22, 20251 yr It was Lloyd Jones but, yeah, he was definitely looking to get a rise out of him
January 22, 20251 yr A bit sad that players also behave in such a way: they should just have celebrated their victory. It's not as if he gained an advantage by winding Evatt up. From Evatt’s perspective, if he can't avoid responding, then don't go on the pitch and interact. He may feel it is the gentlemanly thing to do, but he doesn't behave like one too often.

Whilst that defeat was unlucky, I'm not having "when your luck's in"....how about an offside goal and OG on Saturday. 3 teams inexplicably having players sent off against us with loads of time remaining undoubtedly giving us extra points; two 96th minute winners here, and that flukey win at Exeter with Morley's cross going in. Charlton didn't deserve to beat us last night but that's the first obvious unlucky result we've had compared to so many points gained that flattered us.

January 22, 20251 yr Teams having players sent off is arguably caused by us causing them problems. Bit like Matete and his snide "challenge" last night and us struggling at the time.

We've benefitted from the luck with far more points gained than lost this season. Anyway, it's a good thing as we're so close to the play offs because of all those flukey wins, so it does give the next manager a real chance. Looking forward to the rest of the season now

Whenever we lose, the others are always better.

Agreed we were unlucky to lose last night, maybe if luck had been more even previously we would have had a new manager by now! On another note I feel absolutely certain that with new manager boost and the change in mood, we would have beaten the dross that was Cambridge and Charlton. Frustrating, we should have had another 5 points now and a manager bedded in during the transfer window.

That's your opinion, I'd say we fully deserved to beat Reading, Crawley, Northampton, Stevenage, Peterboro and Burton. Maybe Orient (but thank you keeper). Blackpool and Exeter were exciting finishes but overall draws would have been fair IMO. Deserved to beat Lincoln clearly. Hard to judge v 10 man Mansfield. Of our 10 defeats, clearly deserved to lose 8 of them. A bit unlucky at Mansfield, definitely unlucky not to at least draw last night. Overall, points total slightly flatters us IMO.

You've reminded me of the Lincoln one, didn't Lolos commit an offence that if seen would have seen him sent off? Right on H-T. Opposition player loses his head complaining about it. On another day its us down to 10 men and its Lincoln that have "caused us problems" to get us down to 10 men. Huge luck that one IMO, and the Mansfield one was equally stupid, its not like they were pulling back one of our players bursting through the middle threatening the goal, its on the halfway line on the touchline! Anyway, that's the past, onwards and upwards, bring it on.

All things considered IE did well to walk away from Taylor whos only thought was to have Evatt punch him on live telly. I also heard that in typical Whites fashion the same people who wanted IE out of our club were prepared to step in on his behalf and knock Taylor out.

Frustrating, we should have had another 5 points now and a manager bedded in during the transfer window. No problem 😊 Sadly I think the damage had already been done in previous games. But I'm still surprised Sharon et al decided to swing the axe after that performance. Given how supportive they've been when we've played much worse. Mind you - maybe they had one eye on Saturday and a potential Dion hat trick. At least this way he's managed to leave on the back of a decent performance (if not result).
January 24, 20251 yr Getting beaten after playing well, together with arguing with opponents again. When that's happening, then there is little hope of a turn around. Fans' (or lack of) concerns were clearly also having a major impact.
January 24, 20251 yr Don't think I've agreed so much with one of our own players getting banned. That was well out of order
