April 6Apr 6 bottlers again same old. the pessimist in me can't see us beating someone like Stockport and Bradford at Wembley great to have ACD back though.
April 6Apr 6 No damage done to our playoffs and an extra game ticked off, though 3rd or 4th is no guarantee, think if that game had 10 more minutes even without them going down to 10 men we'd have won it, we ended strong, unfortunate with the bar though Forino didn't really know too much about it. Overall though Stockport looked dangerous in possession, on another day/different ref they may have got a penalty before we scored the first, which was a lovely finish from Kenny. Their 2 goals were quite shit really how it conveniently landed to them twice for easy goals, but can't really complain about the final result, given the O.G 2-2 was comical too
April 6Apr 6 Don’t know what Conway is now, not a defender and nowhere near the attacker he was early season but certainly for me a liability at the moment. If he’s going to be a defender then stay in position and defend and if he’s a wide player then have someone to cover for him. At the moment he’s so far out of position every game that we’re wide open and it’s costing us.
April 6Apr 6 Glad to have rescued another draw but time and time again we can see why we won't get near top 2. Positives I thought Tutu had another great game given he was targeted for the entire first half and had no help from Apter. His levels of fitness are also really impressive, doesn't look like he's slowed down at all by the 90th minute. Dempsey and Sheehan did reasonably well as a 2 in the middle. Kenny was very good and fought well for his goal. Dalby also played pretty well. Conway was very poor, he needs to improve his consistency if we wants to play at a higher level. Once again its defensive lapses that stopped us winning. Edited April 6Apr 6 by pfk505
April 6Apr 6 Poor today, but if we had drawn at Plymouth and won today everyone would be happy. At least we didn't lose. Great 2nd goal for us.

April 6Apr 6 All on SS that result for me. My opinion, HT Duberry, Bairstow and Christie for Apter, Cissoko, and Tutu. We didnt have a replacement left back for Conway, because he was fuckin wank! Behind their forward for the 1st goal, nowhere to be seen for the 2nd!

April 6Apr 6 Another afternoon of frustration and missed opportunities. Their line was ridiculously high so much of the game and they shit themselves every time we got in behind. So, of course, we kept going with the risk averse football in to feet and not posing any threat. Kenny, Dalby, Burstow and even, on occasion, the otherwise poor Apter on were making some great runs, but nobody had the vision or confidence to just knock it in to space for them to run on to. Nothing to fear from Stockport in the play offs, but with Cardiff dropping points again it really should have been us looking to really put in a chase for second spot for the final few games. I do have a concern that we’ll drop off with the idea of having nothing to play for, and lacking momentum going in to the play offs really isn’t a good idea.

We didn't bottle anything. They're a good team and have been in the top 5 pretty much all season. Sure folk forget we are actually playing an opposition. They are our level and we are theirs hence our league positions. Draw was probably the right result but we had more than enough intent and possession to win 10 games, especially after the subs. Two soft wank goal conceded too, but that's just us in general isn't it. It was a proper game of football between two proper play off standard teams. Apter can fuck off forever mind. And so can Toal and his sideways slow ponderous passing.

So many times Kenny made runs and got nothing. Cissoko in the first half wanted the ball fired in to space. Toal the biggest culprit and Conway not far behind him.
April 6Apr 6 Bradford have 3 games vs playoff teams out of 5, tough like ours, that game which isn't till the 2nd to last game may not mean anything or it could be whether we get an home leg 2nd. Looking at the fixtures the teams out of the top 6, Plymouth have a good run of games (bar Bradford away), but to claw back 8 points from 15 with -9 GD on us, shouldn't be an issue as for 3rd 4th atm, Stockport have a much easier run then us, Stevenage have some tough games (Bradford A, Bolton A, Lincoln H) but have a game in hand.

April 6Apr 6 Stockport are the second best team in the league behind Lincoln. Apter, Desmond and Cissoko are lge 2 players at best in the positions they play. Again Demps and Sheehan have not worked as a pair. Another point to the play-offs
April 6Apr 6 There are 4 teams above Stockport in Div 1, but you reckon their the 2nd best team in the league. Baffling.

April 6Apr 6 I think they're a proper outfit under a proper manager and have done since they returned to the league In that sense and in isolation, it's no great disaster that we haven't won today But the concern is that we still haven't found a way to beat them and there's a strong possibility they end up as our opponents at some stage in the play-offs
April 6Apr 6 So refreshing having decent strikers who can do a bit of everything. Hope not strengthening our defence in Jan doesn't cost us come the end of the season.
