Morizio Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 16 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: But that's IEs fault at the moment, its not because its too optimistic to think we can reach the levels that FGR, Colchester and Newport have reached. When the likes of Boro, Derby and Wolves were putting 3 or 4 past us without breaking sweat, we knew we couldn't hope to match them. You're not telling me we cant aspire to match Newport this season. You should be turning up at training and helping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays on Saturday, is there anyone else who has played against us over such a long period of time? Stanley Matthews ? I'm not sure when his first and last games were against us but his playing career spanned about 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Right - paid for it, as junior said we would have gone, so £10 is a lot cheaper than it would have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but a 2-0 or worse defeat will be seen as a step in the right direction. I love how the interview always starts with the same question - how has training gone? Answer - its gone great. And repeat x 46. Not a dig at IE by the way, every manager has to confirm every week that the lads have been buzzin' in training, and its been great to see them having little fallouts, it shows they care.

Marc505 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Seen someone commenting today on the article with Evatt saying Sarcevic is training like a man possessed, that the pressure this team puts on itself through its own words is astonishing. Bang on. I feel like you've got to have a really special and tight squad, that's been together for ages and that you know inside out to be able to constantly keep coming out raising the stakes and painting targets on their back because you know for sure they'll be able to respond. Sink or swim time during this busy October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 If we don't get at least a point against the mighty Harrogate Town on Saturday, then I might as well kill myself and jump straight out of my bungalows bedroom window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 IE ‘all L2 teams are good at set pieces’. That statement does scare me a bit because we are shocking at defending them. Hopefully it is something we have been working on this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted October 1, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2020 Liked the bit about not being here to make friends they are here to win. He makes a good point that when you throw lads together like this for the first time they don’t want to upset anyone, they don’t want to blame anyone. In other words they don’t want to come across as being Billy Big Bollocks and making themselves unpopular. But as IE says, they’ve got to make themselves accountable, they’ve got to take on a meaner streak. It’s another example (one I certainly overlooked) of how complex it is moulding together a completely new squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted October 1, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2020 We've scored equalisers in our last 2 games that were both wrongfully disallowed. If either of those had stood, I reckon we would have gone on to win at least 1 of those matches.... We really, really need a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the officials guessed is largely irrelevent, it was handball. I'm not sure anyone has seen a conclusive angle that shows if Baptiste was offside or not. So while it was gutting to see them disallowed (And my gut feeling is that Baptiste was onside) you cant say they were wrongly disallowed. That would be re-inventing history, and I know from other threads you are against that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was - both of those decisions were contentious, and had either goal stood I think there'd be a totally different atmosphere to the current one.
