I think this is a bit wise after the event. I agree with some of it, but ultimately tonight we lost the game (and didn’t win it, to be honest) because we missed three or four absolute clear chances to score while the opposition scored with their one. That’s part of the game, but I’m not sure...
Kind of, but we don’t really play any worse against the teams around us. We didn’t play any better than we did tonight against Morecambe and Carlisle really, just took a couple of chances.
We just cannot seem to get a result against the teams around us, even when we play alright. Hopefully won’t matter if we just keep beating everyone else.
Been much the better team but way too wasteful with the good positions we’ve got into. It’s not a great game really, Vale are playing like the away side. We’re happy with a draw I think so don’t need to risk much.
Yup, everyone is injured. Bedeau at left wing back ffs. Asking a lot for us to get anything tonight.
We might be a threat off set pieces, mind. Having to start four massive centre backs.
We’re being really unlucky with injuries randomly hitting specific positions in one go. Was that point when we basically couldn’t field a proper striker for a couple of games, the month when we had no wing backs at all, and now it’s everyone who might create something being struck down.
The immediate impact of selling him really does seem to have been stocks in our possession figure plummeting and stocks in our wins column going through the roof. Who knew, eh?
Very much sounding like we’ll be without Jones and McGoldrick as well.
Without those you’ll be playing high pressing, high tempo Notts. They’re our two bits of real quality for unlocking teams at the minute really, but also our remaining somewhat weak links in maintaining a press. Probably a...
We’re losing our recruitment man Richard Montague to Swansea, becoming their Director of Football.
Bit of a blow as he’s done a fantastic job, but it’s very hard to know how much of it is him and how much of it is the data and algorithms he’s working with, which obviously comes from our owners’...
Bromley got a decent chance of establishing themselves like a Stevenage or Burton, much better supported home and away than a lot of clubs who come up.
Big game. If we can back up our recent form with at least a point here then we look very nicely placed.
Couple of injury worries. Jones was kicked off the pitch inside half an hour yesterday, Maynard sounded pretty confident it’s nothing serious afterwards, but unlikely to be involved here...
We’re pretty much two different teams at this point home and away. At home we’re stodgy, slow and laboured but never concede and keep doing enough to grind out results 1-0 or 2-0.
Away with a bit more space and the chance to play on the counter a bit we look fantastic. I’d be very happy with a...
It’s not been enjoyable, but sometimes you come up against a team that tries to kick you every time you have the ball and just need to win. Fair play, doing the things we need to do to have a chance.
