That was a game first half that should have been put to bed. Second half the saddlers were by far the best team on the pitch. Our boys seemed so lack lustre,Warsaw just kept going at us,they got their just rewards with a super goal. At least we took a point,last year would would have lost this. The team has to realise when your sat at the top of the table,teams are going to raise their game. Well. Done Warsaw you deserved that point at the very least. Still keep winning at home, and drawing away and we will be fine.
I said it before and say it again we are far from the complete article, what happens when we start playing the better teams!, missed the game got the result at 1753 ...crap
Not going to win them all and so long as we win our home games, draws on the road are always welcome. Still undefeated and sitting at the top. Also nice to see the west country dominating a league for a change!
Was a poor performance today compared to how we have been playing, however still a decent piont away from home...I'am sure we will be back to our best next weekend.
Another decent away point. However having kept the same team for seven games I got the impression they were getting a bit leggy towards the end and whereas its nice to keep a settled side and I believe this xi is on best xi it may be time to give some fresh legs some game time. I'm sure he will do this for the Micky mouse cup on Wednesday but I feel it may of benefit for chesterfield as well
Chesterfield is massive,we need the best team on the pitch next week,they just beat sheff utd today. They have had a excellent start to the season ,three points is a must with the likes of swindon,posh,dons keeping on our tails
Again I seem to be getting the impression that we are shutting up shop early. When teams are coming for you it's essential to keep the ball and try and counter attack.
Thought Tetbury was massive Chesterfield have had a good start but I don't think they will be there come the end. (That's going to come back to haunt me). However November is going to be a big month (maybe even massive) with Swindon, Preston and Peterbro showing up to be beaten in successive weeks and I feel we will need our strongest team fit and as fresh as they can be for those games.
Made me laugh yesterday and have to admit thought of redprintt, the sub for wagsatff for freeman.. the most pointless sub in football history.. how is that going to change a game? He doesn't trust his subs, and I'm concerned about the lack of depth in our squad. When we get key injuries to players such as Smith, Freeman we will struggle.
we will need to be as CHSTFLD have found a second breath well at least it was not in ET but they scored less than 2 minutes later, and we had 3 shots on goal after it !
I would have brought on Pack for Freeman - thought we gave the ball away too much Anyone think the break for the linesman's injury did not help us either? Tell you what though - at the end of the season this will look a decent point
We seem to have 5 wide players on both to field and the bench. I don't see how we can put a wide player on when there's already 2 on the pitch.
I have said before that, as jgf2 rightly said, we are from the finished article and ugly points are well accepted but wouldn't it be nicer if we got points on merit and not by struggling?
Watching the game yesterday,i would have given jet the nod,we were being pummled second half,Jet could have given us outlet,plus he can hold the ball up.
It's good that we are upset with a fairly decent away point, it proves we are making progress. A City team of previous seasons would have gone on to lose the game. Yes it's disappointing that we've again thrown away a lead, but we're still top of the league for now. A few big games coming up..................
We are getting draws from games like this that we would have lost in previous years. We are also winning games that we would have previously drawn. That's why we are top and long can it continue. For me, there are still far too many teams with a game in hand that if they were to win, would be very close if they beat us too. We overcame one such threat in MK last week. Chesterfield will need to be dealt with in a similar result. They are doing well and had a good win last week. It could we be that a draw turns out to be a good result.
As Sir Bobby Robson once said "Its about that player, at that moment, putting the ball in the back of the net" We did have chances to have pulled away from Walsall before the break, albeit half chances. Time for Mr Agard to step it up another level I feel
