Sounded a lot better than last week... you probably needed a program to see who was who.. Reports please..
Yes it was much better, BUT, we should have easily won. Reid missed an open goal from 6 yards, one hit the bar, one cleared off the line and Connor h should probably have scored when 1 on 1 with the keeper- but it was a good save. Positives, clean sheet, back four looked good, Charles was very comfortable in the middle of the back 4 and Branston was excellent and justified the man of the match award. Reid could/should have had a hat-trick on a different day. Murray was woeful (again)-sorry but he doesn't do it for me. Young made a couple of great crossfield passes but otherwise not one of his better games. Banton impressed and reminded me of Bolasie-lots of skill and pace but not much end product?. D&G missed a couple of sitters. J cole in goal is very much better than Gilmartin both in terms of dominating the box and distribution. Still think we will stay up 4 wins and 6 draws will do it (!) most worryingly is the main topic of conversation where I sit is whether we will renew season tickets if in the conference next season-fortunately most say they will (including me). For some reason Sheridan left it too late to make the substitutions and they didn't have chance to make an impact. Beat Aldershot next and life will be more enjoyable!
Far be it for me to throw off my reputation as the most seriously infected with Greenitis, but we're going to have to do a lot better than 2 consecutive 0-0 draws at home against mediocre to poor sides. The clean sheets are a step in the right direction but we can't rely on achieving that against the better sides, so let's hope the missed chances are an aberration. Still, early days for Sheridan, so fingers crossed.
Quite a lot of talk about are mid-field not being up to it.........maybe some older heads in there Wotton or Lowery.........or maybe next week a loan player with some experience of winning the ball and distributing it.
Would take a kick in the happy sacks, let alone cramp, if it would keep us up Plym. Have a feeling it will be more painful though....
