Yep, absolutely. First half you came with the same gameplan as Burton: didn’t run a high press, but kept the formation very solid and pressed as soon as we got near the halfway line. Played entirely for free kicks & throw ins (don’t think you put 4+ passes together until injury time).
All fair...
Got gubbed at Shrewsbury earlier in the season when we were both on 0 points. Absolutely dire performance from us but Shrews were organised and exploited our frailties pretty well. Wouldn’t have said they were bad enough to be well adrift of safety at this point, but then again it was probably...
We keep rumbling on. Indifferent performance from us overall but probably should have had six before Rovers got their second, triggering a stressful last 20 minutes.
After Promise Omochere missed an early sitter we controlled the game. Nice finish from Galbraith for our first and a...
We really, really miss the dynamism of El Miz (shock, horror that a Championship player would greatly improve us) and the hard running of Theo Archibald. All a bit slow and weak without them, though we play some lovely stuff on the counter. Imagine we’ll have a fucking awful January like usual...
10 clean sheets in our last 12 including 7 in a row. Blimey. Even game up until our opener but 2-0 flattered Cambridge in the end. Someone is going to take an absolute pasting soon.
Impossible to give us less of a game. It was genuinely diabolical. I must have seen 100 sides with less ability but never one with less professionalism. On the plus side it does mean that your season can theoretically be turned around by a new man in charge. Risky appointment you’ve made, though.
Worst sides I’ve seen are Rovers, Crawley, Rotherham & Northampton (in that order).
Not played Cambridge yet and we threw in our worst performance of the season vs. Shrews. Burton put in a good defensive showing but had nothing going forward and they can’t 0-0 their way to safety.
Excellent goal from us. Couple of wonderful passes in the build-up. Not been a bad game, really; two sides trying to play football at least. Ref is abysmal - booking Wollacott for making a good tackle particularly egregious. Next goal crucial.
Creepy (H). Our record against the tinpotters from Gatwick’s arsehole is dire, but we do have the advantage of an extra couple of days rest. They looked shattered when Brum finally broke them down last night, so hopefully they’re a bit broken come Thursday. If they come to E10 with a similar...
Wigan and Rotherham are both absolutely awful as well. To be honest I don’t think there are very many good sides at all and it wouldn’t overly surprise me if anyone from Barnsley downwards managed to get sucked into trouble at some stage. A surprise Rotherham/Chavenage relegation combo would...
Ha, you weren’t seriously thinking we were a team you can catch to get out of trouble, were you? We’ll be on the cusp of the playoffs by the end of January (and on the beach by March after another predictable spate of season-ending injuries).
