Deanu Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Seeing as we we're 1-1 having just scored an equalizer, with a man extra for the next 30 mins the momentum was with us but we couldn't get into a rhythm due to silly fouls, a ref allowing time wasting & an entire team full of attackers yet not much supply. Feel's like points lost but at least we didn't get beat after such a poor first half. Eoin Toal lead by example, fair play to the lad he's been one of our best players since coming into the team. Last season we scored lots but we were open & leaky... this season we're struggling to create chances but are a bit more solid. We just can't seem to find the balance between the two atm.

Rizlar Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 We need a striker in January who can score goals as what we have are just not good enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get us out of this one, maybe needs more than a season or two ffs. We are making progress. Not like we are spending millions is it. Fuck me. Agree with this, we are improving but it’s slow work because we’re building organically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of lost that last season though going in right direction but can’t see us going up without a good transfer window just like fgr, Cheltenham and Shrewsbury this season then !!!!!!!!!!

Moderators Casino Posted December 30, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2022 I hoped for top 2, but realistically thats not happening and realistically it probably shouldnt Still very sure we will finish in the play offs, not least cos we have loads of depth...not many stand outs, but loads of similar quality so we will go to the last game Others will fall away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some creation in midfield more than a striker imo. Or even a number 10. Bod is miles off, baka is too and dapo wants in off the flanks. We need Danny Ward or Cole Stockton.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted December 30, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2022 Not an Evatt type at all but would love a Juke type striker. Is he still playing regularly for Brum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Simply not good enough first half was like Cheltenham away second better but bad use of substitutions and kachunga don’t get me started play offs will not happen and every week we’re slipping away and others are gaining just play it simple evatt you ain’t fucking pep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I honestly thing Evatt has been playing Kachunga to form a system thats ready for someone better. Stick a playmaker in his role and its jackpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 First half as bad as it gets. Truly awful. We concede the customary first goal. Come out a different team and equalise. 10 men, go on and win it. For some reason & with obvious momentum the IE bingo machine comes out. We then lose the momentum. One shot on target all game. We didn’t deserve to win. 4 wins out of 13 since Cheltenham. Its simply not good enough for the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The only comforting thing is that we’re still in the top six despite playing so poorly recently so if Ian can come up with a couple of winners next month, there isn’t really a lot to beat in this league that are below us. We can still do it but we have to find a way to score and IE has to be realistic about what he’s got and play players in their best positions. We all know the players who aren’t doing it and they need to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't see us maintaining the play-offs. He's got a couple of tough decisions to take this month. We've improved every second half of the season under Evatt, so I hope I'm proven wrong..

ianofcleveleys Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Two handicaps with us at moment for me: We've a surfeit of players who like to be on the ball and pass it about but too many of them want to pass responsibility on, play an easy pass and let someone else put the cross in or find the killer through ball. That last 20 mins just wasn't difficult enough for their defence, however well organised and determined they were. We also have too many strikers that are decent team players and happy to work within the structure but aren't natural finishers. When we do eventually put a good ball into the right area they're either a yard off getting to it or fluff it when they do. Bradley's actually better than any of our strikers at appearing on six yard line and knocking one in. We're not far off being 4th or 5th best in this league but those deficiencies and frustrating habits are just holding us back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take the same at Barnsley too Its not the worst result, we've had a lot worse this season, but when does a draw become unacceptable, because even if we manage a point at Barnsley that would be 7 points in 6 games and we'd all take a point v Plymouth, 8 points in 7. Bottom 8 form, surely we want more than 1 win in 7 with this squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
