Wow, 4 cup finals there! After Wycombe we have Northampton, Rotherham & Shrewsbury with only Rotherham being the home game.
Get those games wrong and we could well be in the thick of it
If we had Butcher I might just agree, honestly he’s been transformational. The defence since he’s come in has been sublime.
Without him though our problem is a lack of midfield meaning we can’t control games and all we can do it play long ball.
Hope I’m wrong. I was originally planning to go...
I agree, but Northampton is where I’ll be focusing my point tally.
Without Butcher and Ward, I’m not sure what we can realistically expect against Wycombe away.
I’m really disappointed in Lindsay, he was one of the most impressive signings on paper but he’s just not very good, mostly a passenger
Yeah a game of 2 halves really, I think we just about shaded it because once you scored we created a fair few chances again, but I can definitely understand the deserving a point. Also worth noting we should have had 2 blatant penalties.
I thought Burton were pretty good tbh and miles ahead of...
And again, absolute stone wall penalty not just not given, but given a freekick to Burton!
We’re in the box about to shoot and as Ward swings his leg to kick the ball, a Burton player dives in and blocks his foot from kicking the ball.
A stone wall penalty in any situation. Not this ref...
Any cup run is a good thing. Even the Bristol street trophy.. don’t get me wrong I hate it, but remember saying a few years ago in L1, the wins help you build confidence and momentum, which we did and actually took onwards to have a decent season
Well upfront is probably our biggest weakness now and defence we’re starting to look alright tbh.
I have absolutely no idea how it will go. No result would surprise me tbh
Must not lose Vs Burton.
Ironically it’s 2 in form teams over the last 5/6 games. Our home form has been pretty decent recently, but I just hope we’re fired up for this one
Not saying you’re wrong, but we’ve just picked up 10 points from 6.
The next 4/5 games are absolutely massive.
Burton (H), Wycombe (A), Northampton (A), Rotherham (H), Shrewsbury (A)
Stockport are a good team, fast, strong and pass the ball well. They’re very well drilled. Despite them controlling the game, we held them fairly comfortably until Sousa decides to defend with some of the worst defending I’ve seen - making it far too easy for Diamond to make the cross.
We were...
The last few seasons have been low safety total points I think? Not sure how this one will go, think it’ll be around the 47/48 mark as predicted.
One thing I think is worth considering in that total points is our managers first game was Stevenage away on 29th December and since then we’ve...
I’m not sure that’s a foul, only because he falls over but he got muscled off the ball fair and square IMO.
It looks like a foul because the tackling player never got the ball, but that’s because the City player fell over and took him out - so fair and square for me
