Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
We concede most of our goals in the first half - 56% so pretty marginal, but 24% in the 5 minutes leading into half-time. Whether that's because we're shagged before the break, or people start thinking about the oranges early, I dunno. Our second largest concession period is the last 10 minutes at 1...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
I have me doubts, that we can keep that intensity for 180 minutes (or even 90). There will be ebbs and flows and we need to understand when they're happening and how to counter them...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
Keep thinking negative thoughts and talking about the past is non-productive. Clean sheet, fresh start and Barnsley are just another team in our league. None of the past matters, only the future. Lately, I read of a man who said, "Our best defence is offence. No matter how well you defend, unless y...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
I'm not sure I'm as comfortable with him holding everyone to account over a failure when there's still the chance of us NOT failing. He knws the players better than we do and maybe him telling them how good they are publicly and that we've been unlucky etc, is what the players need to hear? Maybe g...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
They've scored less, conceded more, have a worse head to head record, their last 5 were three losses two draws, they're on a temporary manager - dunno where else to go with it - that doesn't mean "we win," but it's not a bad starting point.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
There is too much talk. Too much ‘keeping of receipts’. Not enough ‘we are going to internalize this and come out and absolutely win every game we need to’. He's get criticised if he came out and said that This needs a healthy dose of management bullshit. We've heard the words, we now need the pict...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
Hypothetically, would you take a draw on Friday? How many ways could we answer this? Right now, it wouldn't be a bad result. Should we be 2-up and end up 3-3, I'd think we'd probably given them momentum, should we be 2-down and end up 3-3 I'd be pretty happy. Over "history" it's been fairly even......

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
You're playing the team in 4th, who if the seedings go to plan, you'd meet in the final so your foot comes off the gas and you allow them three goals? I'd be disgusted (of Tunbridge Wells) if that was the case. As it happens, I don't think that was the major part of what I saw on Saturday. I think P...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
The ‘general on the pitch’ thing I feel is a bit overstated. Iredale also seems to be a vocal leader who battles as hard as anyone. I think there are many ways to be "general on the pitch" which don't necessarily point to over the top tackles and shouting/pointing.. If you think about Kante or Modr...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
I don't find "the gambling" logic very compelling. There's a very good reason why Bookies have favourites which is absolutely aligned with their ability to win v punter (or at least lay-off) There are two teams, sure, but it's not typically two even sets of competitors. You would expect more often t...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
Maybe not one of GTs better games, apart from him being a big chunk of why we were on top first 20 and why their MF was so ineffective early doors. He also put both passes through that led to our first 2 goals...other than that, I'd be a bit surprised if Evatt veered off from his usual starting trio.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
I'm not that fussed about whether we can stick 18 past Utd kids and convince ourselves that makes a great team. The time is now. The time is here. Put up or shut up. We’ve had promotion in our hands for most of the season. Chance after chance. The time is here and now has been the case for months. ...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
Famous last words, but I'll think we'll beat Barnsley over two legs. In the final, I think our style would favour us against Oxford. Judging by today, us vs Peterborough would be a toss-up. Funnily enough, I think Oxford might be a worse opponent for Posh than us. Jeez this is complex. Our '"style"...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
I don't think the misses are important. We've scored more in 12 months than ever before apparently, so I'm off for a crafty wank about the 8 we put past Utd kids. It's not about goals. Never has been. It's about points.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
Not for me, personnel. Organisation and game management. Knowing when to stick or twist. Recognising there's time you have to dig it out some, so the WBs might have to drop some to make it a 5. But key is understanding when to do each. I think we're lacking on the defensive bit. There have also bee...
