GM key Humberside comments: Good first half Second half didnt work. Huffed and puffed. But no real danger. Long pulled off good save. Only save Good response after Accrington. Dan Crowley given licence to thread balls. Thought he was excellent. He's going to get better. The doc was good. Excellent defence today. Whyte hurt in training. Rolled his ankle. Keeping fingers crossed he'll soon be back. Looking for a left back. very close for incomer on Monday. Coyle can't play left back.
Donny 8 out of 9 games . Play offs I think unless a goalscorer appears out of fresh which isnt just us looking for !
Games in hand mean only two things, they have to be played and they have to be won. There is less chance of the season being curtailed now then there was a month ago. Hull City are in a very strong position. Do you remember when we were asked to Dare to Dream ? Far better then Dare to be Cautious. UTT Top of the league.
Dominate possession with some lovely football, we go one up, knock it around for fun and look like we can score at will ...but somehow don't. Second half patently inferior team picks it up, we get nervy, go on the back foot and pray for the final whistle. Rinse and repeat. I feel like I watch the same home game every week.
They had more possession than we did. Which is another thing, there have been more games where we've had less possession than the opposition. That also needs to be addressed.
Head in the clouds ? We are top of the league, five points clear. That is a fact, not a dream. I think it's better to be top of the league then in a chasing pack, all playing each other, with games that have to be won. That is my feet on the ground opinion.
Our lovely pitch encouraged Swindon to raise their game? Yes, it is a mystery. But that is football and its unpredictability is what makes it the best game there is.
We didn't struggle to overcome Swindon. We beat them. I tell you what it is, it's football. Look at Sheffield United beating Man Utd away last week, it's football matey.
It is better to be top than chasing, the issue is that all of those teams won't lose all their games in hand and if we play like we did today we'll need a lot more than dreams if we want to get promoted.
We didn't do anything at all for half a season.That disgusted you and me both but I expected our players to go out and try.
