Slowly but surely Preston are catching us up. It is vital that we now beat Swindon or at least equal Preston's result against Bradford away. If that is the case the winner of next Saturdays game against Preston has all the hallmarks of the Championship decider. Nail-biting stuff
Need to beat Swindon or at least not let them win- They are 15 points behind, if they did win all 3 games in hand and beat us, they would be only 3 points behind-
Without being too critical, I feel that we are going to stumble over the line due to the lack of a clinical, goal scoring, striker. We are dominating sides but not putting away the sort of goals that a really good "fox in the box" would gobble up for fun. And once again at the other end, we have conceded a long distane, allegedly unstoppable, wonder strike. Without going back through the record of matches, it seems like we have had one of those far too often this season. I don't mean this to be moan about Frankie, because it could be a defensive problem in front of him. But I'm fed up with wonder goas against us!
Exactly. I don't want to criticise either but we've thrown away at least 2 points in the last 2 games if not all 4. Haven't seen the goal they scored but several of us don't want Fielding in goal in the Championship. He is a perpetual accident waiting to happen. Wonder goals against - at least Fleetwood (A) Walsall (A) Oldham (A) need we say more ? PNE may well catch and overhaul us and that will be the biggest disappointment of all this season if they do. Time to dig deep boys and deliver the promise you've set your stall out for from the off.
Let's be honest here because you can't say we're an exciting team and yet here we are putting on a strong push for the Championship. Having only seeing the boys once this season, albeit at Wembley, I must be candid when I say I found the actual match a bit of an anti-climax, but still feasted on the day. It was a bit too tappy-tappy for me even though I wasn't expecting fireworks (yes we did) it was all somewhat nebulous. Just me folks.
Absolutely. If Cotteriill blows this it will be due to his failure to drop Agard. From here on in we need to win games rather than not lose them. Get Jet or else I fear we will blow it.
Some warning signs out there in front of us and behind us that need attention to detail. Get it sorted boys because you know you want it.
I have now seen the Oldham goal on Sky although its not from the best of camera angles. Unless he was totally unsighted it doesn't put Fielding in a good light at all. The shot came from a fair way out and was hardly an unstoppable rocket into the top corner. SC beware, we need a new and better keeper for next season so start looking now. I hope you are already..........
