Re: The Nostradamus file....
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.

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock
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. If we do end up in the play offs , looking at the other teams, I fear no one and would be confident of promotion...

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...

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock
We took care of business in impressive fashion against a team that play open football.. no high press...no defensive blocks. The type of game that suits us to the "tee", and we at times we played some lovely stuff. A shout out to Collins and his hatrick, I especially liked his 3rd where he spun on a...

Re: What's Ste Evan's Age? 61, I think. Stevenage away. 29/03/2024 - 3pm
There is a question for me as to whether our league one players are good enough to play the football demanded of them, to the level of consistency required. Champagne football with pub players or something like that? Dacres Cogley is a prime example, he puts the yards in, wins his battles, but his ...

I am not an Evatt basher. He is learning the art of management and has not yet reached his ceiling. However, there are games in which he has been outmanaged, mainly because he is a slave to his system, and cannot find on field solutions when it doesnt work. I see more seasoned managers in our leagu...

Re: What's Ste Evan's Age? 61, I think. Stevenage away. 29/03/2024 - 3pm
We got a very fortunate point. We survived the usual 2 mess ups per game at the back and have to thank Coleman for keeping this clean sheet. We tired badly in the 2nd half after starting it well. The changes made us worse. Anyway, still feeling that we can win the playoffs as we just have to. Financ...

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...
