Certainly backs up the idea that Ali and Sarce are (on average) in similar positions, and I still wonder if it'd be better if they roughly sliced the pitch in half vertically - Ali takes the left (and combines with Brocky), Sarce the right (with Peter K). Surely less running. Whilst they look to be...

@W4E I don't think Crawford was lazy last night he did a lot of running. I do think he has less conviction generally than at his peak last season. But I guess he had two minders for his best period then in Bridcutt and Lowe. Now we're a bit open in midfield for me. Crawford has good delivery genera...

Some people might hate this, and I understand that, but here's some heavy-dooty statting from someone or other (via BWFC Analysis) Certainly backs up the idea that Ali and Sarce are (on average) in similar positions, and I still wonder if it'd be better if they roughly sliced the pitch in half vert...

I think based on the last few performances it looks like our starting XI (with Doyle) is beginning to resemble a side who can be pushing at least for the playoffs. However, I do think we have some serious issues with squad depth, which were exposed in the second half last night and which I would im...

I'd say - back three whilst better I still have some concerns about them. We're often too easy to get in behind in the channels. Up front we were a bit non existent for most of last night and in reality have been for much of the season, Doyle will score goals so I guess we can live with that but it...

Mascoll and Gordon the two specialists looking a bit 'shaky'. Gordon has struggled with the step up in quality. Mascoll's attitude has been shocking, to be honest. If you keep an eye on him in terms of his moaning at other players for his own mistakes and his body language it's just not good enough...

Thought about what the score would have been in the first half if Doyle had been on. They would have been dead and buried. 1-0 gives them hope and thanks to Crellin he's got us the 2 points he lost us on Saturday. Look at the cross after he saved that penalty, he actually caught it. His confidence ...

Get the tug boats out, she's coming out of the docks

Some twatterati already broke the champers!

Yup saw that. Mascoll just let the guy go. That's part of what I meant playing for each other.

Second half Barrer. Saturday and today. All felt like they were trying to play for each other. Even when we were under the cosh. We lost some shape and defended deeper, but it didn't feel like we lost heart. Progress.

When was the last time Jak Hickman got on the field? Peter am has been quality don’t get me wrong but feel for the lad as he was looking decent!

Agree dibs, think he just struck unlucky that Kioso hit the ground running. Think Jones would have the same problem

Some of those free kicks given against Darcy at the end were outrageous! Playing 5 mins 40 secs when 4 goes up on the board is also frustrating. One was for an elbow. :lol: :lol: Must have felt like a needle. :D I was screaming at him to square that late chance to Crawford but given his finishing t...

Initial reaction - lucky to win it, but we were due some luck!

Yes.

Yes, three points, but fcuking scary second half.

Mascoll has been awful since coming on.

Great save for the pen, but Crellin's head's gone methinks...

Can't do this for another 18 minutes. FFS

Sitting too deep.

That's why we're looking shy in midfield, we've lost two defenders (delfouneso and Gnahoua) from the first half when we were pressing them on the edge of their area.

First half in opposites. They're harrying us on edge of our area, we've dropped and started our defensive harrying 10 yards inside our own half.

We need a get a grip slap.
