Dixon growing on me too, sound handling throughout the last 2 games on the whole and distribution generally good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressed with the quality of football in this division so far. I was at the match AND posted during the game, proper fan me Good game, both had spells on top, they were looking more likely but Doyle's goal seemed to quieten them down till late on and they skyed what appeared to be a sitter at the end MJ stood out for me As did Karl Robinson, most managers do suit or tracksuit, he did "lad on a big away day out" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Doesn't it feel strange. Just want it to continue for as long as possible. The contrast with 7 months ago (Tranmere away) is unbelievable.

TrickyTrotter Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Enjoyable afternoon. Thought first half was pretty even although they did slice us open a couple of times. They started the 2nd half stronger but we scored against the run of play which seemed to knock the stuffing out of them for a time. Both Doyle and Lee missed chances to put us 2 goals clear, but we were hanging on at the end. Great win though. All the teams we have played so far have been decent. Someone must play hoofball in this league. Defence looks a bit ropey at the moment. The Santos/Jackson partnership needs time. John hasn’t really got going yet this season and Jones is only good in parts. Improvement needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep exactly, sarce was shagged with 30 mins to go covering so much ground it’s a completely different temp to L2 i know it’s bragging rights but really not arsed about Tuesday and no doubt wigan will make changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one played hoofball in league 2, so wouldn’t expect any in League 1 Great game though and its nice to be back actually enjoying games at our stadium again, it was a real fucking chore for a while.

Ani Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I do not get this we were lucky talk. They looked good on the break but seemed be attacking as much. Did our keep make a save of note ? They missed a sitter at the end but so did Lee. I think we have shown we are good enough to compete with the better teams in the division last year.

Burndens Bogs Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Doyle was unlucky when he lobbed the keeper, that would have been game over & no late nerves. Fwiw, we look vulnerable on the counter attack, but at the moment i just expect us to score more goals than our opponents. Onwards & upwards.

barrycowdrill Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Beaten the play off finalists and team who made the play offs in the space of 5 days and over the course of the 2 been the better side yes defence doesn’t look as stable but going forward we look Superb (keegans Newcastle springs to mind) If anyone wants a barometer of where we are and where we could / should be expecting to be the last 5 days gives you that indication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we have 10k season ticket holders, which means we have around 4k buying tickets for todays game, which is fairly healthy imo and long may it continue, i see no reason why it wouldn’t - because we are actually being entertained!

Doyle missed a chance 1 on 1, Lee missed a sitter right at the end. I am not saying we battered them, but we matched them. Yeah they looked dangerous going forward, but so did we. They were losing so pushed forward I do not see how we were lucky. We may have been lucky on second goal as think it took a deflection after Doyle touched it and it might have been going wide.

Less than 12000 at Rovers and they were playing West Brom, who always travel in big numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheehan should have scored, Doyle’s lob, Lee etc. Last 15, I thought we looked the fittest side, again. It could have been a draw but it wasn’t. These sides look decent, a massive step up from last year, but we’re doing good. I’m getting a wiggle on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team revolves around him imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
