That would affect the figures. I don’t think there is alot in the strengths of the opposition, as the table shows. We had played away at ipswich which has to be seen as an easier game for ipswich than us Maybe argue barnsley home is similar to plymouth away, though i make plymouth away tougher Cant see their game thats tougher than sheff wed In fact, its had enough of my time Kipper is right for the first time since 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had MKD down as top half but going off everyone's comments I underestimated their decline. So in hindsight I'd expect to win this game based on our results under IE - assuming no (unjust) sendings off! Very happy with the performance though, a nice stress free evening. I give you Fleetwood , Accrington and Burton away last season add in Hartlepool in the shit cup . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Impressive team performance, i wouldn't pick anyone out but we were much too good for MK. When it all clicks, we're going to smash somebody !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Thought our pressing vs Charlton and MK was excellent. Lost count of the amount of times we 'gegenpressed' and won the ball back high up by swarming round them. Much improved on that from last season when we left far too many gaps doing it or failed at the first instance and had resort to dropping into our shape. And our keeper is much more of a sweeper than last year too. We also play out from the back much more confidently with one of the midfielders dropping in to give Trafford an option and then they spray a first time pass out wide. Clear as day the amount of hard work that has gone into drilling that. FWIW I think it's good that Dapo, Morley and Dempsey are having some time on the bench. A break can do you good in competitive sport. Give them a chance to observe and see how they can improve and see how we play. I'm sure they'll all break back into the starting XI eventually, but for now the teamwork with this selection is really good.

There are glimmers. Thought he ran well tonight, pressed the defenders in a Charles-esque fashion. Can't fault his work rate these days, in comparison to him looking quite lazy last season. That said, he's not a goalscorer. Never has been. But if we've got goals from across the 10 outfield (and a set piece presence now, get in Jonesy!), maybe that's not an issue for Evatt? Still a useful squad player for me, nothing more, nothing less. As an aside, I couldn't believe how poor MK were. They're in trouble if they play like that every week.

CambridgeBWFC Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Great performance all round, but never really challenged For those questioning Kachunga, he was involved in our two best moves first half, great run across the defender to receive Iredales fantastic pass inside which could have earned a penalty on another day, and a great ball in to Bradley who then set up Charles who's first touch let him down. He also one the freekick for the 2nd. So to argue he brings nothing is crazy. He was less involved 2nd half, but he runs and presses well, but he isn't a striker I can agree on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 14, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2022 Said before the season started, the key to our season is beating everyone we should be beating home and away as the top teams will all pick points up against each other. We can’t win them all but (I’ll get pelted for this) Utd under Fergie always beat shite teams apart from us when they should have done. Their record against their rivals wasn’t always great. I honestly believe we are as good as anyone in the league, we sometimes lack belief - perhaps it’s because we have a number of young lads lacking big match experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
