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

The only thing I will say is that we dont seem to know how to change a game to win it. It seems like the gaffer pre plans his changes... "Forwards and wing backs, run yourselves to the ground. On the 70 min mark, we will change both forwards, a wingback and a midfielder at 75 mins". Predictable each...

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 t...

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

I thought we played well but came up against a side that defended very well. No criticisms for any of our players. Derby'defenders knew they were in a game and were exhausted at the end. We came close but just not enough. Wilson made a difference for them when he came on as it gave them some attacki...

Good first half. We looked a threat in the first 25 mins, then Derby controlled after Gayle came off and they slowed the game down. Last 5 mins we got back into our rhythm. A clean sheet is necessary so no mistakes at the back. With our quality going forward, hope we can nick one.

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

I am not nervous at all. We can more than match them. To prove that we are top 2 in L2, we have to show it. They will have their moments in the game, and we will have ours. Should be a good game of football. Looking forward to it.

Re: Ox on the box, c*cks on the blocks? Oxford (H) Tue 12 Mar, 8pm

That was awesome. Ogbeta and Collins goals were beautiful in their construction. Won't see many better team goals anywhere. We so love teams who try to play football against us. They don't stand a chance.

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

Wasn't able to watch the game live and have only seen the extended highlights on Wanderers TV, but it was telling. Our defense looked really weak. I felt sorry for our skipper. He was all at sea from the highlights in his positioning and clearances. I dont think he is anywhere back to his best from ...

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

In all run in's, the seemingly "easier" games against teams fighting to stay alive are usually more difficult that the games considered "hard" so I expect many twists and turns. We can only take care of our business and care not for what others are doing. Every game from now on will be battles. I am...

Re: Raising the Bar: Barnsley (A), Tue 5 Mar 7.45pm

What a game. So many things to dissect. When I saw the "finishers" coming on I thought that was it. Not in a positive way. But we clawed it back. Such an important point. Collins showed us he has class. Thomason was too wound up at the beginning but played a superb 2nd half. Sheehan was pivotal to e...

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

We are not in a crisis but something is definitely wrong. Our forwards are not scoring, our defense is leaking and we are now losing games. We are still 3rd, but no one here is confident anymore that we will go up. We have some good players but we are now predictable. The top teams in the division a...

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

We controlled the game and would have come away with an important point until Jones rush of blood running out of his covering position. What was he thinking? Hard to break down 10 men sitting on their 18 yard box. Their strategy worked to perfection.

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

Hoping for the best but fearing the worst. Evatt will continue to tinker with the side and everything is a lottery. Who will he pick, I have no idea... except for Coleman.

From reports he recently signed a new contract to 2025 so definately not on his way out.

Thomason is a must start for me. He is our best and most combative midfielder and fresh.

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.

He is "much better", even at 31 from an individual skill and ability perspective but based on how Evatt wants his players to run in his system, not sure even Messi at 36 would be a sure pick in our first 11.

Agree that Sheehan "looks" world-class when he has space to play. Struggles badly when teams get physical and aggressive on him. That's his weakness.

And he's not particularly what's needed. We don't play with a 10, and even for the jobs closest to that role we've already got other players like CMG, Collins and Bod. As Dibs says, smells like agent talk. Morrison is much better than these players, and can play in a no. 6 Sheehan role also if asked.

Morrison was a regular for Jamaica over the last couple years. In recent times he has been dropped, really because he no club. Still very talented and did not cause us any problems to mention. His control and ability to see and make a pass is still in tact. Seems to have matured over the years. As t...

Re: There's a Moose loose about these U's Take Twos. Cambridge United Away. 20/02/2024

Noticeable difference in the second half. We increased the tempo and Cambridge struggled to compete. I have no idea why of late our first half performances have been so lame. There were no changes at half time so Evatt probably read the riot act. Jones was my Man of the Match. Didn't put a foot wron...
