Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm

With our home form, I'd be glad to get out of Oakwell with a draw, especially if we're under the cosh a bit, but I believe we can go there and win.

We'll likely be the better side on the night, have more ball and create more chances. It's about f-in time we won one of them!

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

I'm not sure I'm as comfortable with him holding everyone to account over a failure when there's still the chance of us NOT failing. He knws the players better than we do and maybe him telling them how good they are publicly and that we've been unlucky etc, is what the players need to hear? Maybe gi...

There is too much talk. Too much ‘keeping of receipts’. Not enough ‘we are going to internalize this and come out and absolutely win every game we need to’.
He's get criticised if he came out and said that

Who are you referring to? Presumably Maghoma.
Maghoma, Dempsey, Charles to name 3 recent examples

But it happened earlier in the season. This week has been more evident though, as it was the business end.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

Probably not worth its own thread, so I'll put it on here. One thing I have noticed recently and it's a problem for me, but obviously not them.. Recently, we've dropped valuable points in games where we've scored but drawn. At this stage of the season where every win was crucial, I saw players all o...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

Plenty of fight in the first half. Foot was taken off the gas when they knew Carlisle had no chance. Exactly!! Fvckin meltdowns on here when we don't win. I'm sick of seeing people rounding on the players like we should steamroll every team we play and when we don't it's because they're leaderless ...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. Of course its Evatt's fault, he's the manager, he signs the players & he picks the team - if our strikers continually miss easy chances / sitters then he's not brought in the right strike...

Re: The Nostradamus file....

I might have missed it, and apologies if I have, but has anyone come out and said that the whole financial workings of the club are predicated on being promoted in 2024, and if we don't do this then we are all doomed and half our squad need to be sold for half their value just to keep the lights on...

We can make substitutions depending on the goings-on in the other match. We can remove and replace literally half out the outfield

Re: The Nostradamus file....

I gotta say (in a non-gammon way), that we'd be absolutely gutted if Derby lost and we didn't get what we needed after playing a weak side. If I were resting a few - and I'm not against resting some who might be tired/carrying niggles, I might want to keep them in close proximity to the bench, on t...

Whatever decision Evatt makes will be the wrong one, unless we go up, by some miracle..

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

As a standalone game, earlier in the season, we'd have been very happy with that performance. Yes, we should have scored more. But we played well and we'll take those positives into the play offs. Collins is firing now and he looks capable of creating something whenever the ball is near him. He hit...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Has that sort of feel aye. We have a better team than the other play off sides but it’s down to the players and manager to lift the mentality, raise the work rate, stop feeling sorry for themselves and realise that anything you win in football is hard. No side will roll over. There is far too much ...

If we get the first goal, fairly early, they HAVE to play higher up the pitch and we could get a good few more. Play the game like we need to. Strong, fast and into em

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

We're three points behind with 2 to play. I'd be delighted if we won both and Derby didn't! Whilst I think that's unlikely, it would be stupid and defeatist to put a half assed team out tomorrow, only to find Derby slip up. As others have said, we got automatics, coming up from the 4th Div on the l...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

The more touches and passes we take in and around their box the less likely we are to score. The more quickly we shoot or get delivery into the box the more likely we are to score. I think statistically the opposite is true. The teams who sling the ball in from wide areas score less goals, than the...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

Been an ok player for us and had some moments, but been totally underwhelming since coming back from his injury. EFL Trophy reserve games aside. I can't see us offering him an extension.

Cheers JD and all the best
