I wasn't able to attend yesterday but from the commentary it seemed that we were poor and McDonalds mess up and Barrett's wonder strike were are only chances. However I wasn't there and if you say they played well then maybe it wasn't as bad as first thought!
that pic on the right defo looks like Martin Allen...was that during his after match media speech yesterday?
We was rubbish full of huff and puff but lacked direction and organisation we never looked like scoring.
Dread to think what you would have thought or did think of Wolves, Crawley and Coventry then?...I just find it strange everyone has only started saying it was rubbish this week on the back of a better performance.
I don't know what muck up Cody made gfclukey, unless it was when he put the ball over the bar, when perhaps he could have scored, but the ball did come to it very quickly. He scored what look like a good goal, but the lino ( wrongly from where I was sitting) gave offside. I hope the manager gives bayo and Cody longer together because Cody and Bayo seem to be more on the same wavelength than cody and kedwell or Bayo and kedwell.MA says he will make changes, but hopefully he will leave those two together, but I suspect it will be Bayo for the chop. Weston and Barrett should also be relegated to the bench, Weston because he too often blows hot and cold, and Barrett because the pace of the game is now starting to catch him out.
Gills did play quite well but we need a spark from somewhere, the players we have are trying and giving their all but we need someone creative and more pace. Only one team has thrashed us so we are not completely out of our depth. Is it time for the younger players to be given a chance? Anyone see Ashley Millers goal at beechings it was on soccer am.
I really don't see how we played well! We lacked any real grit and determination. The only stand out player that I saw was Charlie lee. He threw his body infront of the ball, tracked back desperate to try and defend our goal, and was always involved or started an attack going forward. The difference between us and Bradford was that they actually played FOOTBALL! How many times did you see Bradford give the ball to their goalkeeper and lump the ball forward? Not a lot is the answer! I can't remember any play in the last 20 - 30 minutes where we played it along the ground and created chances building from the back. Another thing that was frustrated me was the fact that nobody was determined or committed to stop a shot!! Nobody threw their body in the way of a shot and every now and then you get the half hearted throw the leg up in the air turn your back and hope it hits! Bradford done this all through the game and I guess that's why they are up in and around the play offs and we are bottom of the league I guess..
Ah we'll I have not been to any away matches hence my views are related to home matches only and yesterday's performance was the worst I have seen this season
Fair enough and maybe that is the case, however, I was reflecting when coming away from the game and wondered as you say was it the worst home performance or was it Bradford are better than Colchester and Brentford? I'm concerned that MA is going to over react to yesterday's performance and mind reflect that he was right in his decisions all along. Whereas I think that would be poor reflection considering the better team lined up yesterday. I'd like to see all three of Keds (midfield), Cody and Bayo on the pitch considering MA's tactics and then see how we fair but I know it will not happen. If MadDog wants pace, he has left it eight games to late for that based on what HE structured. People can blame Scally but I do not agree with those comments. Yes, Scally's method of politics worry me and I was not happy with his written letter to the fans, contrary to others, but I suppose that's about personal opinion.
