Take it the subs made a difference? Our bench is so much better now! 6 weeks ago I was bemoaning Hickman not getting on to give us an option wide right!
Re: Is football not a man's field? Away @ the Stags 26th Jan 2021
I'd say we look about 8 points off the playoffs mentally factoring in the different number of games played. If that sparks a run and we can win the next 3 winnable games (making 5 in a row) I'll start to believe.
Maddison is a funny one. I can only think he's not their fitness wise. There are flashes of quality but he looks half a yard off most of the time. And hooked at 60 and 70 the last two games. He looks a liability off the ball too.
Like DSB I'd give him one more start before rotating. But Delf and Arthur pushing hard.
Thought Doyle was pretty poor again. Busy and gives his all but we couldn't make it stick for large periods, and we're never going to boss possession for 90 at this level.

Doyle might be due a rest. If he was on the bench next game and came on for the last twenty I’d back him to score. Maddison...he’s certainly a debate sparker. I thought his off the ball work rate left us exposed Saturday. Arthur should be starting. Front four of Arthur/Dapo/Maddison/Delf at the weekend with Doyle on for the last twenty if needed? Sarce back as well!

Nigel Cloughs post match interview is worth a listen. Our goals, flukes. Their (fluke) goal, was a great hit . What a whopper!

Yup, Doyle is struggling. I only noticed today how bad his first touch is. However, he scores goals and had an assist today. Definitely an undroppable asset even though I do believe Miller will give defenders more problems.

Doyle’s getting 20 goals this season.

Just looking at the beeb stats we had seven shots and only two on target.
How the hell did we score three , game should be called a draw. Mansfield have the right of appeal.

Bitter sh!thead. Was narky all the way through the game, even when 2-0 up. Has to deflect from the fact that he and his team f&&ked up royally.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:57 pmNigel Cloughs post match interview is worth a listen. Our goals, flukes.

Evatt on Gilks FT fracas: “A couple of their players were giving him stick about the mistake but when they’ve played in the Premier League and had the career that Matt has then maybe they can say something but for now I’d suggest they keep their mouths shut”

In fairness I do think we get a big stroke of luck with our two goals and we hadn’t really looked threatening prior to that. He’s got a fair point. But it’s not like they were worthy of a 2 goal lead either. I’d suggest over the course a draw was probably a reasonable result but we scored the pick of the goals thanks to Arthur.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 10:18 pmBitter sh!thead.

They only went ahead through a fumbled fluke goal, and still lost despite the advantage of being used to their ploughed field. And we scored the best goal to win it.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 8:35 amIn fairness I do think we get a big stroke of luck with our two goals and we hadn’t really looked threatening prior to that.

The first maybe, but the second is a driven ball across goal. The chance of it going in is higher than a lofted ball to the back stick.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 8:35 amIn fairness I do think we get a big stroke of luck with our two goals and we hadn’t really looked threatening prior to that.

And Clough can do one, their first was gifted to them by Gilks.
Resolute performance from Bolton that if we'd drawn from 2-0 down would have been great. But as you say the goal by Arthur was the cherry on the cake.

See, our first goal reminded me of Steinsson's some years ago. If you stick your cross towards the back post then you create a job of work for the keeper / a ball that a defender can't touch / an easy header (goal) for a guy attacking the ball, and there's the off chance that it'll go straight in. Similar circumstances with John's low driven ball back in for the second goal whereby their lad sticks a toe on it and look what happened.
You make your own luck, Nigel (you dour c*nt)!

Have to say lads, I'm still BUZZING after last night. 'Absolute scenes' in my front room when Arthur buried the third - got told off by the missus for scaring our daughter.
Arthur really has been a revelation these last few games - he's such a talented lad and I don't really get how he's got to the age of 28 without having more success in professional football. It'd be a kick in the teeth for the boy if he doesn't get a start at Southend on Saturday.

Not many clubs round the corner from his gaff though, so maybe he is self-limiting??

I hear you brother, and there are some high figures floating around for the PPG we would have to maintain. However, what I’d add is that we’re playing the next three midweeks - so that’s Sat-Tue-Sat-Tue-Sat-Tue-Sat; those with games in hand will presumably rearrange them for thereafter rather than play Tue-Thu-Sat. All we can do is win our games and if we continue to do so then the others will have to keep winning too - and possibly have the pressure of having to overhaul us.
Also worth noting that Evatt got a fair old head of steam up at Barrow. We had a touch of that earlier in the season. It might all crumble again but right now it’s exciting and that’s something we’ve got to hold on to - whether it’s for a fairytale ending to this season or just a promising one, a strengthening summer and a proper go next time.
