Yeah. Lee Clarke's got their defence playing like George Graham's Arsenal.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:19 pmBury aren't going to leave space in behind.

I'll go for early Bury goal (pen), Bolton equalise shortly after (25 yarder), with 15 overs to go everyone's happy, they shake hands and go home. Especially if there's a threat of bad light.

Taylor & Madine will start....
4-0 Bolton, the fannies will stop panicking, BWFCI will take his dress off & put his trousers back on until the weekend....
Bury will be under as much pressure as us, if not more - there is much more pressure trying to avoid relegation

Before the weekend we needed 6 points. We still need 6 points. Nothing has changed.
Onward and upward.

Bury took points of Bradford and Fleetwood away this season. They might be down the bottom, but we have to do more than just turn up. Look at Oldham, defended like their lives depended on it.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:43 pmYeah.

That is what Bury will do. Pressure is on us. Bury will see any result as a bonus.
Hence why we need to start quickly. Long up front is wasted at home in my view. Quite like to see him running at them down the left side.

Morais will get the ball in behind their back line. Our problem is that we're not attacking the ball in. The worst culprit of this is your mate Madine. I take it you mean Taylor running at them down the left? Yes, me too. Absolutely. The guy's been a revelation down that side. Not that Moxey needed anybody to prove him even worse, but, you know?!BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:36 pmBury took points of Bradford and Fleetwood away this season.

I'd like to see Long on the left in front of Taylor. Go to a back four in my view now.

Madine offers a physical presence on crosses that likely distracts defenders. The delivery from Morais hasn't been as good lately,

Morais that's created something like 11 of of our last 12 goals or whatever it is? Yeah. The shit bastard. Yeah, let's drop him.

I simply mean Morais in recent games hasn't produced the same consistent quality as he did at the start. He was never going to, I mean if he could have he'd not belong in league one.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:41 pmMorais that's created something like 11 of of our last 12 goals or whatever it is?

Also, you hate Madine, but don't the stats entirely speak for themselves? We don't win games without him. Or score goals without him.
9 games he hasn't started, 0 wins, 2 goals scored. Whatever way you slice it, whether you can see it or not the facts speak for themselves. He does a critical job for the team. Without him, whatever we've tried, hasn't worked.

I don't think stats are nuanced enough to be the sole basis for an argument. There is a trend there, worrying at that, but it is a relatively small number of games that don't take into account other factors going on around those games. Who else was out? Were any of those games in the period of losing Ameobi/Clough etc? Who were the opposition and what is their defensive record like over the season? We have a tendency not to score many in most games anyway, so it wouldn't take much for us not to score any. And finally, how many of those games was the tactic still to hoof it at a midget?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:06 pm

They're all factors that could impact our ability to score in games. Far more factors than simply saying we were missing one player and over simplifying it to say it was mostly/entirely due to that.
Parky has done well to change things around as and when we've had major squad changes, but I think he's made errors at times by not changing things enough when we've not had the only player that makes playing the ball long in the way we do to work. I know you don't think our midfield are capable of anything other than Ray Wilkins balls, but I think you're wrong. I've seen Vela link up well with Clough resulting in a goal. He might not be capable of doing all the time, but he can sometimes. Henry hasn't set the world alight, but he's capable of opening up a defence and Morais can deliver a decent ball. Pratley is good at getting in the way which can always result in a loose ball being poked through for ALF or Long to run on to. Spearing likes a Hollywood ball (as his Pal Stevie Me did). It's not a great stretch that he plays it to run on to rather than head. Might not always work, it might be a bit frustrating when it doesn't, but it'll be more productive than hoofing it at ALF, even if it only produces a couple of goals.

Morais has obviously been targeted for special attention in the opponents preparation lately, 'mark that bastard out of the game' as such his output has declined. no way he should be dropped tho! Longs pace may not be a lot of use against shakers but he is desperate to score and will shoot on sight over and over again!! would definitely like to see more of him! Likewise Henry; the only player who looked comfortable on the ball on Saturday - it was like a hot potato for most of em!

We're hitting a dry spell just when Fleetwood are picking up form again. Pressure is most definitely on us, even with the (current) point gap and goal difference cushion. Bury always seem to play decently against us, and have bloodied the nose of teams around us at their place this season despite their league position; I think we'll struggle tonight. I'm thinking a draw, or possibly another frustrating 1-0 loss.
2nd place will go to the wire in my opinion.
Of course hoping that I'll be utterly wrong!
I think that is probably the most realistic assessment. We have three games that will be tight. Especially Bury and Port Vale, those teams won't roll over. And like Oldham will scrap for everything. And as you say, we are struggling to score, which makes it tough.
Reality is we just need one game where a couple of set pieces break for us and we get ahead by a couple of goals. If we do that then probably 2 draws in the other games will be good enough.
If it goes to the last day we have Peterbrough with nowt to play for whereas Fleetwood have Port Vale who hopefully still are fighting for their lives. You'd expect both us and Fleetwood to win, but you just never know.

im thinking a 0-0 struggle tonight. but then on Saturday, toward the end of the 2nd half news will spread round the Hamil Road end that Fleetwood have fallen behind at Gillingham, the atmosphere will crank up to crazy, players will get word from the bench and go gung-ho then Beevers will nod in a last minute winner and 4000 wanderers pour onto the pitch.... nice no pressure promotion party at home the week after...

Well, I'm hoping the Oldham game serves as a kick in the trousers. 3-0 to us.

I'm crossing my fingers that Bury take as much of a hammering tonight as my browser's refresh button will.
This feels like one of the most hotly anticipated games in a long time - perhaps even season-defining. We just need to hope that energy gets channeled properly, particularly by people like Spearing who would be the most likely contender for getting sent off for something stupid.

Betting there'll be a seasider or two amongst the Two Tubbers at the Macron tonight hoping against us. No T.V coverage so they might want to do a live visit. Pasties don't sit well with kippers or black puddings at best, so we'll just have to turn the oven up. Just win lads, nothing else matters.....
