Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I think we certainly need to play the odds that if we won all 7 we'd give ourselves the best chance :-) Not to do so, would be pretty dumb - I think you only consider maybe resting a player for the playoffs is when they're the only alternative and you have a home tie second. There's 24 points to pla...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I don't think many are saying we shouldn't collect and use data and analysis. That would be pretty dumb on our part. But, that doesn't (for many) act as some sort of "how good are we?" proxy, whereas the thing that always tells you how good you are in a League, is how far up it you finish and what y...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

The weekend ended up being longer than I thought. What a sh1t result to come home to. Have no idea where that leaves us as a team mentally but I think the auto's could potentially be byond us now unless one of the top two suddenly collapses AND we suddenly catch fire. Mate, you have to say. Lost th...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Evatt ‘we are process and performance driven not results driven.’ Yeah that’s the problem. Maybe they will award us the process and performance trophy at the end of the season. Does it come with an extra promotion place? Not a surprise to hear that from Evatt. However, he clearly does not understan...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I wont analyse the obvious. We played well. Somehow I am not too disappounted as I would normally be with a loss because from what I saw, we gave our all against a top team above us playing at their home. I was proud of the effort. Take a few days off, rest, recover and reset. Get into the mindset ...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

And the thing that makes me most annoyed is we sound like Wengers Arsenal after we’d sent them back from the Reebok in the good old days. The ‘but we played the better football’ losers. And I always detested Wenger’s Arsenal. The last thing I want us to be is that. Look mate, we can't help you foot...

Re: Rugby Union

Brilliant game, England fought the good fight but gave France too much ball. We handed it to them on a plate with penalties. Ramos missed what, one out of six? . It was almost a repeat of the under 19's last night....almost. Yeah, although we never did get to see a replay of the last one, that won ...

Re: Rugby Union

Pretty good account if ourselves, even in a narrow defeat. Was certainly a game of four halves.

Oh and Italy. Well done them, too.

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Next season, Rotherham and Sheff Weds are currently looking likely...then a bit of a cluster with some fairly chunky names in it. I suspect you're right that it feels a chunk more problematic next season.

Some comfort. The Seymour's get the wooden spoon. Congrats to Ireland on 6 Nations Champs but no Slam and no Triple Crown. Just France England left, would be a decent statement were England to win, but that still looks a big ask, away...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Yeah, I'm with that too GTE. We can beat anyone on our day, but so can quite a few teams on their day. The difference between average and top draw, isn't the worldie you score, it's how many times you score the worldie.

We'll be able to put it in the trophy cabinet next to the PPDA Cup.

Evatt needs...... or....... Same shit. Out of our hands now. Pressure is off. Watch em fly. It’s too late now. Prep for playoffs and try and finally win some big pressure games. They can't afford to feel sorry for themselves. Posh and Barnsley would be level on points if they land their games in ha...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

It also seemed like our shit fans gave us plenty of support and fairly sure I heard Derby's booing (before they scored). At that point, I thought people were supposed to start feeling sorry for themselves...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I'd rather us address the issues that we do have rather than swap out the approach to play like Derby did. We just don't seem to be, though. Show me a time in that run of fixtures where the club have had chance to take stock and fully address the problems? We've had a lot of games in quick successi...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Talk about Jekyle and Hyde with the attack. Nothing in the final third compared to Oxford. Too inconsistent. Derby are a way better side. They were comfortable sitting in and I don’t think they ever panicked. The games that have cost us in truth are the Wigan ones, Charlton, Carlisle, Northampton, ...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Certainly on top that half, without being stellar. Few too many passes astray (including Mr Sheehan).. They'll be happier with nil than us methinks. Might need a bit mire edge of the box trigger. Pointless punting the ball at Bod's head as he runs under the ball, jumps and wonders why it's 5 foot ov...

Re: Rugby Union

Missed it, mate, was out at a gig. Reads like a cracker, though. Looking forwards to this evening's games, although unless Scotland beat Ireland by more than 7 and Ireland don't get a BP for tries, the England game will just be a wrap up fame with nothing riding on it..
