Thought we were good for the first hour, played confidently, we looked organised, we did our jobs.
Gradually started to get pushed back and it’s only natural that we start to fall back but at that point we should be making a change to give them something to think about instead of putting trust in a bunch of players that have made individual errors all season long to see it out.
White is an absolute disgrace for what he did. Such a stupid thing to do. What a moron.
Then the pen, it was a pen. Then the dive, it was a dive, embarrassing really but it proves how little confidence our side have in their own ability that our first thought is a desperate play for a foul/desperately con the ref.
Not surprised that BD again didn’t agree with the ref, nor am I surprised that he again was proven wrong with his opinion, worrying really that he always seems to be wrong. Maybe he’s just sticking up for his players like DS did but to blame the ref every single week (even for red cards that you don’t end up appealing) stinks of clueless desperation.
Not sure what we take away from that game, confidence from the first half? Or do we go into the Southend game even more nervous like we did the Barrow game in fear of making a mistake, leading to us just being ■■■■? Huge game. Seen a lot of people saying drawing those games will be enough but I think they’re the only games, along with the Colchester game, that we have a slight chance of a win. A draw will only up the tension and delay them edging ever closer to us as we run out of games to pull away.
No point talking of sacking BD now, LP has made his decision. Even if we sacked BD now we wouldn’t have a new man in for Tuesday. Two HUGE decisions by LP have turned this season into a nightmare, the decision to sell Adebayo and replace him with an untried and untested kid from Oxford despite having a top 10 budget, and the decision to stick with an inexperienced coach despite having a top 10 budget.
