Do you mean we would have lost against other sides? I thought we looked a lot more dominant than Cheltenham over the course of the game. They didn’t open us up much at all and our midfield, with Comley especially looked pretty much the match for them.
I agree in this game ref Levi but thought he did all those things you mentioned well against Morecambe and Chesterfield (albeit limited in time).
They were asking questions all night. Dropping balls over the back of us. Crosses. Set plays. I felt we’d concede. Felt inevitable especially as we tired. Another 2/3 mins they’d have grabbed a winner.
Can’t dress that up as a good performance. Call it poor management / game management.
Really excited for Saturday now, those players will be ruthless after dropping points tonight. If we can maintain that performance for our remaining games we will win the league. A few more smart subs and rotate a few more throughout the game and we will be fine.
Jamma looked a little leggy tonight. Hope he can recover well for Saturday.
Should be a cracking game! Hope we can keep driving the players through, less ‘motivational hate’ towards Simkin on Twitter would be nice
So just drop Dave? Keep the rest of the squad the same?
Might be time for Williams, Dave hasn’t done much wrong though, I’d consider Lakin for Stirk and retain Comley… Then bring JJ off for Stirk at 60 mins…
I haven’t seen it back, but he was probably knackered. He was at least two levels better than anyone else on the pitch tonight, you can see why we struggled when he was out and then not well. The amount of ground he covered tonight is insane.
That’s a good team performance as far as I am concerned, gutted how it ended, but that’s football, especially following Walsall.
Just got back and I couldn’t help thinking that Sadler could have managed that injury time better.
They score and I think we need to wait for first break in play after kick off. Sub Jellis and Gordon who both ran their socks off for Lakin and Weir. They trudge off slowly. Applaud the fans, we sing back. It just takes the sting out and rests some legs and minds.
Can’t fault the players who gave their all tonight.
I would have 100% taken a point at the start tonight but it really does feel like a defeat. We have the opportunity to get a win at home on Saturday now, let’s keep getting behind the team! UTS!!!
I dunno, still no need for a lazy block like that tired or not. I’m not sure he was “levels above” either. I thought Stirk had the much better game in our own midfield.
