Lostock Whites Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Games like tonight and most of last season, in terms of the conditions and styles just makes me more and more glad to see us get out of these shit show games in League 1 and League 2 Problem is until we can actually deal with teams such as Burton, Accrington, Fleetwood etc all who we've been well beaten by away from home, we won't get promoted. Evatts style is progressive and will get us back up there. But we have to defende better, fuck me, we got some big lads our selves but our air superiority was non existent. Seen a stat at half time that said Burton won 70% of aerial duels. Onwards and upwards Edited February 15, 2022 by Lostock Whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Don’t think you can blame Evatt for his team selection , it was logical given the circumstances.We had enough height in the team to repel the arial bombardment but didn’t compete in that area, all the tinpot teams exploit this weakness .We got off to a bad start & they smelt blood. Maybe we need a Taggart type CB next season to play alongside Santos or Johnston & take that main responsibility of seeing off the the arial threat.Santos is quality but if he’s isolated by the other teams shithousery no one else seems to be able to win a challenge , although I thought they got lucky with the opening goal. Three points from two aways is good , hope we can get back in gear Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Away themes have developed over this season. Small clubs with no fans and a small stadium, coupled with poor weather/pitch surface and we simply don’t win. Stockport, Fleetwood, Accrington, Hartlepool, Morecambe & now Burton. My God that list is horrifying….. Edited February 15, 2022 by captainmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy into this “it will do us good to have a year in League One to stabilise” or “we’re not ready to go up yet”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we don't, but we have ambitions, so does the players and the manager. And having that motivation and fire will be essential going forward. Burton will be more than happy playing this type of football and staying in League 1 forever, but we won't be. However, at this point we have to take hindsight, and be grateful for the amazing position we are in. After all, we are technically a newly promoted club from League 2, and are now 10th with an outside chance of play offs, with a great manager, owner and club that is back on the up, something in 2019 i would've never believed. Its good to undertake a current situational analysis but also its good to strive for better as I like the manager want better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2022 The pitch is the pitch. Same for both teams and a thin excuse. Its just been a bad night with a very different team. Evatt hasn’t shirked responsibility, he knows it was poor. Beat the wombles and it’s all forgotten.

Traf Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Bottom line is 6-1-1 from the last eight. Just as we're not really 6 goals better than Sunderland, we shouldn't be 3 down here after 18 mins tonight. Shit happens, suck it up and move on. No drama.

Farrelli Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) We have to take our medicine tonight, did not defend the set pieces well and paid the price. Hopefully just a blip and we get back on it this Saturday. We have had a fair few of these type of aways so sympathies to anyone who has done Fleetwood, Hartlepool, Plymouth& Burton. That deserves a medal!! COYWM Edited February 15, 2022 by Farrelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It's hard this league. Saturday and then Tuesday week after week. Basically if we'd had the squad we do now from the start of the season things would be different. If we get to the playoffs we are winning it. I think it might be just a stretch this year but that's got nowt to do with the manager or his current players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Just got back. Awful. Echo what @captainmed says about results against certain types of team. I said after Fleetwood, this lot can not do it on a wet Tuesday at wherever . Evatt said in interview we put out our most physical side to match upto them. So we played to their strengths and it showed. They can match us at that, in fact are better at it. But we have matched up how come Declan John was isolated against a big lump, winning throw ins and corners at will ? Eventually MJ was told to move over and it helped. Today was a shit day at the office, but it is a blip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
