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

Even though I understand the logic behind our regular rotating of the starting eleven, there's a question to be asked about how big an impact it's having on individual efforts to find a bit of form and, for want of a better phrase, team synergy.

I'd be tempted to name an unchanged team.

Re: Contract expiry

That's great news on Toal.

I imagine we'll likely have to find out which league we'll be playing in next season before we cam tie down Santos, Sheehan, and Baxter.

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

Evatt's comments today are hardly the type to fire us up going into such a crucial match.

Media training, or at least just a thicker skin, might be in order.

Re: Cam on, fear the noise: Cambridge (H) Sat 2 Mar 3pm

When was the last time we had two wing-backs starting consecutive matches? Possibly the last injury crisis... Ashworth & JDC both started the two league games either side of the Blackpool cup defeat, if that counts. If on the other hand you include cup games, those two started the Luton reply and t...

I'd also have given Ramsay an opportunity today, with the added bonus of allowing JDC a rest but there we are.

I really hope Collins can get himself off the mark.

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

I hope Evatt's post-match comments highlighting us dominating possession and dictating the tempo as positive is just media spin and that he's privately aware we were afforded the time and space to do just that as a part of the opposition gameplan.

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

A couple of things, BWFCi, me dear old mate. First off is the apparent glee with which you greet defeat. That's led some forum members to dislike you and call you a non-fan; I'm not among their number as I know you deeply care about the club, but I've also known you long enough to confirm that you'...

Vulnerable against teams that press high and now vulnerable against teams willing to sit in and hit us against the run of play.

I still can't believe that when they were sitting off us after scoring we brought Sheehan off for Jerome.

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

Oh and the system isn’t working. It’s failed. Crisis and Evatt has to respond and change it. Or he will have utterly failed. Our whole philosophy is working it out wide to the wing-backs so they can put in low crosses from the byline into a penalty area packed full of opposition players. It's no wo...

Per the post of BWFC_Insane in another thread, tonight felt like a pivotal moment under Evatt and we've failed.

Unless there's a serious change in approach, we aren't going up.

Avoided it until 9.45 thinking it would be nearly over, had no idea of the delayed KO.

Don't know the ins and outs of tonight but absolutely no surprise that we've lost.
We had the lion's share of possession, did nothing with it, and they took practically their only opportunity.
