The free kick was good but any lower and I reckon Amos covered it.thebish wrote:aye - there were reports of them missing two gilt-edged sitters and hitting the bar...Prufrock wrote:Also sounded like we couldn't have complained if they'd been 3 up at that point too though.

Our central defenders are the toast of the town at the moment (their town, by the way). Leadbetter figuring well again. Moxey doing pretty fair it seems. We get a surprise free kick when it was expected to be against us. They clear and come again and.....again....and......Bamford misses a sitter.
kinda made it sound like it could have been a lot worse had bamford had his shooting boots on...Amos sails one forward and commentator has a chat with somebody and then Bamford misses another sitter after a Dervite error. Now we string a few passes together, they clear, we move forward and.....Vela's cross grabbed by the keeper. Thankfully, Bamford is having a bad night.

^^ Undoubtedly, we had just a touch of er..fortune, at times, but there you go. We lost anyway

Spoke to a couple of Smoggies fans today at work, who went last night. They were asking about that small dark haired lad who came on towards the end and "caused us real problems". They couldn't understand why he wasn't brought on earlier. Me too. I can only assume he was being rested?
Hope is what keeps us going.

Talking about last nights match with my dad earlier and he wonders if they had already discounted last nights match before it even started and are concentrating on saturdays match against Brighton and thats why they didn't start Clough or Alf.

Re: This majestical roof fretted with golden fire - Smoggies
That seems to have been the plan, yes, to keep him fresh for the more crucial games to come. That meant we ended up with the two auld fellas playing most of the match together, which isn't ideal - I suppose we may have fared better pairing them up differently (Zach playing off Emile, or Eidur behind Alf) but hey-ho. If it helps our undoubted two main strikers trouble the oppo this weekend, we can argue it's worth it - although you can't help but wonder if they could have come on earlier....Always hopeful wrote:I can only assume he was being rested?
Re: This majestical roof fretted with golden fire - Smoggies
'tis a risky strategy, I think - great if it comes off - but throwing games in order to give ourselves a better chance at the small-fry only works if the resultant battering you have had doesn't sap confidence and lead to nervy performances (not least at the back)

You might have a point. They also said that Heskey was the first player they'd seen all season who gave their defence a real problem. "He won everything, but flicked it onto nobody most of the time".Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:That seems to have been the plan, yes, to keep him fresh for the more crucial games to come.

100% agree, to start it should be one or the other, not both.plymouth wanderer wrote:Always hopeful wrote:You might have a point.

I note we've now garnered 5 points from 9 games twice this season.
Can't say I was expecting that.

Losing three on the bounce isn't nice but we have some do-able games coming up and the weather's bound to get warmer sooner or later!
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.
