Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....
We are already in trouble... and its not the forwards I am concerned about. Its the defense. Toal has played RCB, then LCB, then CB in the last few games. One days its Jones in, then Iredale, then its Forrester. We are not settled and I fear the worse if we dont have a settled central defense in the...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
We seemed too anxious, looking quickly to shoot at every opportunity without patience and played Shrews game, especially in the first half. Defensively, without our captain we looked very vulnerable. A good side would have cut this defense open today. Looked better in the second half with Maghoma th...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
We take care of our business is all I ask. Every game will take a massive effort. I have been around the block too long to believe we "should" win 3-0 or whatever... The ball is round and games unpredictable. You can dominate and lose. That's why we love the game. Full of surprises. All I ask is tha...

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO
Fabulous game of football. When I saw the team sheet, I was concerned about one thing. Jones over Iredale. My concerns manifested itself in the opening 10 mins. Kamara. I have watched him play before, and he is dangerous and pacey. Toal was covering Ogbeta too deep, and Kamara was able to exploit th...

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO
Good game. Its on a knife edge. Can't call it but we certainly are looking dangerous and our defense is standing firm, having learnt how to deal with Kamara pace on the right. They are going down easily, so we have to be careful, especially in the penalty area.

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO
Well Jones comes back into the starting line up. I'm a little surprised by this but its clear that Evatt believes Jones can be relied upon to offer exactly what he requires. I personally would've stuck with Iredale as part of the defensive three but I trust Evatt to make the right call. Lovely to s...

Very risky Dibble. Too much at stake in this run in to not have Coleman on the bench.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 5:07 pmNlundulu will be interesting - certainly offers a different dynamic, maybe more for the following games. Might see a return to no keeper on the bench.

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO
A point from the game would be minimum for me. We need to get something and not lose. A win, I would take that if it came but not feeling optimistic when I remember the game in December. We were outclassed save for Charles open goal miss after Bods header was pushed to him. I remember Yengi destroyi...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign
Winning all our remaining games is easy to say, but based on our recent form, is also highly unlikely. The good thing is that 75% of our remaining games are at home where we are stronger. Fingers crossed hoping that we will improve our form and win them all plus the playoffs. Evatt need to motivate ...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign
Cant see Derby dropping anymore points. Thought Wycombe away for them would be our best bet, but with them losing the final, it will be hard for them to pick themselves up having nothing to play for now.

Professional performance today, get the job done three points in the bag and move on. The importance of next week cannot be underestimated, win and I truly fancy us to grab second place.

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock
We did it.... just about. Better 2nd half despite being under the Cosh for most of it. Found a way to win so signs of a good team. Baxter kept us in it when the going got tough. Easily Man of the Match for me. A timely return, not taking anything away from Coleman.. but class is class.

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock
A poor first half by Bolton despite having more possession. No shots on target, one effort on goal.. high and wide, Baxter forced to make 2 saves. We will have to do much better if we are to get anything out of this game. Our forwards are being starved and our crossing horrible. Get a grip. Playing ...

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock
Interesting to see what team Evatt puts out now that most have recovered from injury. I am feeling that injuries forced him to pick a settled side which is now starting to click as we approach the playoffs. Do we tinker with it. I am afraid too much tinkering will have a negative effect as it always...

We took care of business in impressive fashion against a team that play open football.. no high press...no defensive blocks.
