I'd love to see us win the Title but Peterbourgh have got a cake walk to the title . Once again we will go up in 2nd
Honest opinion from a green. I thought that today we played the league champions. You were by far and away the best side we have played so far this season and your team have Championship standard players across the park. You are a fairly physical side who know when to hit the deck and enough have a chat with the Ref as often as is possible. He did give you a fair bit today but he wasn't the reason we lost. You have leaders in your ranks which we lack and it shows. I don't think you have too much to worry about with your remaining games as the word consistent doesn't apply to many clubs and you now have the winning habit. Only down side is that results can be unpredictable in league one and strange results do have a habit of cropping up. Don't think they will be your results so it's yours to lose now. Several of your possible contenders do have a habit of bottling it at the death.
I have to be honest, I voted for the draw too, I expected a sterner test than we got. But credit to the lads who went for it from the off.
That was a really enjoyable performance, we got at them from the start which set the tempo. They grew a bit more into the game towards the end of the first period, but that was only because it stayed at 1-0, and they felt they were still in the game. If we had managed to get the 2nd before halftime, then God knows what the score would have been, as I think they would have fallen apart. The 2nd half we more or less controlled, apart from the odd skirmish down our right. They did get a bit of success against Coyle, but that was very much due to him being more forward than normal. When we play Sunderland, if McCreary is on the left, then he will need to do a job on him and stay in a more defensive position. Docherty was immense, he just gets better, and really deserved his goal nicely provided by KLP, who also had a very good game. KLP's all-round game is also getting better, he will be a big player for us next season. Honeyman was everywhere, and that quick thinking to steal the ball off their player, and the pass for Magennis's goal was a delight to see. Greaves and Jones at the back were dependable as ever, we really need to tie down Jones to a longer contract! Finally a special mention for Regan Slater, who has really blossomed in that deeper midfield role, and what a good job he has made of it.
Charlton away will be tough for Posh - but it's fair to say their finish of Donny, Lincoln, Donny looks 100 times easier than it looked a couple of months ago. Both are on horrible runs.
I was watching the feeds on FB, so missed the first 2 goals, saw quite a bit of the game in total, including the 3rd. I think I’ll have to log into the player & try & rewatch the entire game to see how we really played.
For me it was a carry on from last week, at times playing some great one touch football, we created a number of good chances, didn’t take them but it showed how much we were dominating. Plymouth did come back at us towards the end of the first half and if they had have got an equaliser it would have been disappointing. I thought the three in the midfield played really well and set the tone of the game. Very good second half with two more goals coming. Hopefully we will continue this into next Saturday because taking three points off fleetwood would really set us up for the Tuesday night game.
It’s all about points now. So long as we keep carving out the number of chances we are doing we should be fine.
thanks for reminding me about that ****ing Walsall game. I was so pissed off the old bill almost turfed me out at half time because I was f’ing and swearing so much, especially at the absolute ****er of a ref we had that day. In retrospect I wish they had as the second half was no better but I had to keep my mouth shut.
It was a truly awful performance. I had expected a party atmosphere but nobody was in the mood for one after that.
It was similar the year we got to the Cup Final. After we won the semi, I don't think we won again all season. It was as if we were safe so no one wanted to risk missing the final.
I was disappointed. Only 3, what does he teach them on the training ground. Could be worse, it might have only been 2.
