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

For me, yesterday, it felt pretty obvious from minute 46 that they'd been motivated to not slip quietly into the night. Whether that was by hair drier or arm round the shoulder, who knows. At that point, is where I have my doubts about our game management. Not likely to be hugely dramatic mid-game,...

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

Bookies have us as favourites for the playoffs, understandable given our position but we're doooooooooooomed. Must be time for me to point out the usual two or three things. Bookies aren't daft – untainted by blind faith or hysterical superstition, they're not wrong that we're well-equipped to be Q...

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

The ‘general on the pitch’ thing I feel is a bit overstated. Iredale also seems to be a vocal leader who battles as hard as anyone. I think there are many ways to be "general on the pitch" which don't necessarily point to over the top tackles and shouting/pointing.. If you think about Kante or Modr...

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

Regardless of what division we're in, the defence needs looking at in the summer. Wonder what state Johnston will come back in? Got to hope that Johnston does a Sheehan. I genuinely can't believe the player he's become following his injuries. On which note, nice to hear Josh's words of encouragemen...

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

He’s probably in my top 5 players of the season. How does he compare to JDC on assists? Randell? Per BBC - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bolton-wanderers/top-scorers/assists - he's behind JDC by one or two, depending on whether it's been updated since today's game (I'd guess not right ...

I have to say if we play them again I’d look at a solution for geth - maybe even switch his side with Toal but I like Iredale on the left anyway. Maybe with Randell over Nat. Dunno. Got to get there first.
Two starts, two assists. Not a bad return.

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

Regardless of what division we're in, the defence needs looking at in the summer. Yes, we've missed so many gilt-edged chances but we're second top scorers. Pompey and Derby have gone up conceding 10+ fewer. I’m confused as to why Jones is first choice, but next season presumably it’d be a three of...

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

Ah well. I'd rather play Barnsley tbh than a resurgent Oxford, buzzing about their late play off place. It's been an entertaining season. A few more twists and turns yet. It's a funny one. Oxford are in some ways Evatt's type of opponents - as we proved recently. But this is a completely different ...

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

If Derby have a limited bunch of players, they need to ask why their wage bill is easily the highest in the division. But hey-ho How many of derbys players would you pick in our first 11? I assume, as chief contrarian, you'd pick them all. Unless it didn't suit whatever your latest fatuous rant was...

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

Sheehan clears off our line. I'm going to try to brave-face a disappointing second half thus far by saying it's good defensive practice.

Spare a thought for Lincoln who have to beat Portsmouth to get play offs. Everybody else has had to play them twice already :-D EFL changing it up to make sure we play vs 12 men like most our games this season. Yeah, good half-time sub that :-D Exeter halve the deficit at home to Oxford. Our oppone...

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

Burton gonna get lucky by the looks of it. There’s motivation to win the play offs! Not play on that fecking farmyard of a pitch again! Yeah I was just gonna post that if Cheltenham get a win they'd push Burton under - but then Cheltenham conceded at Stevenage, another of Those Sorts. Oh well, ne'e...

Reading equalise v Blackpool, whose odds thus lengthen further.
