This is League 1 FFS - give him a break. There’s not a player in the team that hasn’t fucked up at times, but our defence - 

I don’t get this players should be given a break because there only league one players after all  business .
there also playing against players that are also league one level . Lincoln players  are also league 1 but not stopped them storming the league  . 

If we drew a premier league team in a cup that’s a different matter if we got spanked they would get a pass but not at the level there playing at

I think both teams will be happy with a draw and no injuries or suspensions a cautious 0-0 looks on the cards

Players go through spells where they play well and when they have a dip in form. It’s more obvious for strikers (goals scored) but will happen to defenders too.

Conway was the messiah at the start of the season, now he’s a weak link.

Toal is going through a bad spell - poor on a number of goals conceded recently. Confidence is low (so he passed backwards and sideways). But there is a solid league 1 player in there. It can’t be easy when flipping between 4 at the back and 3/5 at the back, with the CB pairing changing from week to week (him included).

Forino has been pretty good, but has made mistakes. George J too.

Keep the faith.

It’s not just a spell though with Toal, he’s been poor for the last two seasons. This year he’s been much worse and panics regularly. Yes he’s done some good things occasionally like all players do but for me he’s a big weak link and just hasn’t come on as a player as much as was anticipated. If we seriously expect to improve as a team I’m afraid Eoin is the first one needing an upgrade. I was staggered when he was made captain and still am as he keeps it because instead of calming players down he just seems to creates more panic.

Winner in the 95th minute.....

Coyfwm!!

Considering we’ve got 5/6 shit defenders, a shit keeper, shit midfielders and a manager who uses a bingo machine to pick his team, were not doing pretty fuckin bad to be in 3rd place.
 

also makes me wonder why we think we should be looking at promotion

He’ll be the one SS said was going to be a late call then presumably?

I'd bring ACD and Gale off the bench when they're getting a bit nervous.

Last time we were promoted from this division we had Mark Beevers and David Wheater as Centre Halves.

Eoin Toal and GJ are fucking lightyears from their kind of mentality or having a pair of bollocks.

They never got bullied like our two do.

With 2 games left, we've scored 1 goal less and conceded 12 more than that side. Wheater and Beevers had about 20 years combined experience at a higher level though.

GJ has played 4 games for Feyenoord and that's it.

Real goal threat as well. Though at least we can expect a few more goals out of Toal than we did with Santos.

Top day that 2-2 at Bradford last time, they really did try to force a rivalry that season.

Schumacher is far more attack-minded though than Parky.

Oh I agree, but it was good to know we had a 20 goal partnership from centre back sniffing around at corners 😀

I think it could certainly be said that Schumacher has had much greater resources at his disposal, though. Second best goal difference under Parkinson (and most importantly points total, obviously)

It says a bit about us this season that, with an attack minded manager and a raft of forward resources, we've scored one less than a manager and a side commonly regarded as a bit dour

Not a penny spent.

Bear in mind Holding was sold for £2.5m, Clough for £2.6m and Woolery for £200k

I don't.

We had a team with Premier league and championship experience then.

What would that cost now?

[Farnywhite]

If the players are good enough they will get us up if not another clear out for next season though not as extreme as last summer probably looking at 5 or 6 changes compared to 20  Monet spent on a keeper and the defence as a priority
