Having that gap in midfield is also the main reason we have to knock it long. I've noticed the teams we have struggled against this season have started the game at a high tempo and often got that first goal resulting in us becoming unsettled, lacking in fluency and prone to making errors...
Agree, but even during our good run of form we had games when we resorted to the long ball, games which we were comfortably beaten in. We seem to resort to that style when we lack confidence or allow teams to dictate. Almost looks like desperation on our part. The big disappointment for me is...
Agree with my fellow Hatters. Stech needs a rest. He's obvioulsy lacking confidence and while he has still proved what a great shot stopper he is, the mistakes have been far too frequent and costly. Hoping the Coventry comeback is a bit of a turning point. Its all about confidence in this game...
Not accusing anyone of anything here but Colemans was repeatedly going up to the 4th offical and having discussions about what was going on on the field. Just interested to know what he hoped to gain from it. NJ to his credit tends to stay in his area and if he does have words with the ref then...
Sad to hear that kids and ederly got caught up in it. The worrying thing that is creeping into games is the response by players to the crowd. Seen it in far too many games this season when opposing players celebrate in front of the oppostion fans trying obviously to wind them up. Accrington...
Still can't believe we lost that game. Accrington for all their off the ball running didn't really create a lot of chances. Their first was a well taken long range effort and the second more of a hit and hope again from outside the box. The majority of the game we looked the better side and...
SIX times in the league. Take away that crazy 8-2 opening game vs Yeovil, it was a freak result. If you look at the other games at home when we have conceded two or more there is a common factor namely that we were playing with 10 men. We had Cuthbert sent off after 32 minutes against Swindon...
Agree with most of that FCH. Accrington have a formula that seems to be working which appears to be a combination of loans and finding out of favour squad players from higher up the leagues. Coleman and his coaching team are certainly getting the best out of them. Shame really that it hasn't...
Promotion has always been the goal this season anything else is a bonus. I think the pressure on us has grown as the season has progressed. No secret that teams try that bit harder when they play the team who are top and so it should be. The club deserves to win the title especially the board...
I think its frustration at the performances we've been putting in of late. One win in four and not beating teams who are mid table with not a lot to play for. Its not just that decisions are going against us its down also to our lack of discipline which we need at this stage of the season. Our...
Couldn't agree more about Collins. Looks frustrated which you can see be his reaction to not getting the ball even when his teammates are in a better position and quite rightly has an attempt at goal. Having a moan at Hylton in the first half for example when Hylts had a cracking run and shot...
Normally drawing away games isn't too bad when pushing for promotion but we need to win our home games which we are struggling to do. The fact that teams behind us are putting runs together makes us vulnerable at the moment. This means when we are winning games and looking quite comfortable you...
Agree top effort by the groundsman. At least now we have an excuse or two if we lose. Pitch too hard, arrived late at the ground, too cold, had to alter our game plan! :bg:
Will be good to get this game out of the way. Not that we have a great fixture pile up but it will give our players sufficient rest between games. Have always enjoyed playing Cambridge despite the fact its become a far too regular fixture of late. My memory goes back to the early 80s when we...
Very tough month with 4 away games.
Cambridge (a) - The most local of our away games and a ground we often do well at. Won't be the same result as the home fixture at ours but bearing in mind Cambridge are without a manager you would think they would be less prepared than we are. Providing this...
Didn't agree with NJs team selection. Hylton should have been on from the start. His injury hasn't been as long term as Cuthbert or McCormack and therefore I didn't see the need for extra caution. We looked lacking of ideas up front in the first half and at times our passing was innacurate and...
After a nice relaxing break its time to get back to business with a win I hope. Certainly don't want a repeat of our last meeting when we made a mess of holding on to our lead. One of a few this season where we couldn't see the game out. The good news is that we nearly have a full squad to...
