SavageTheBeast Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking at our fixtures tomorrow is already a big game which we need to win with the fixtures we have. Lose and I can't see us winning till gillingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Think tomorrow could be a good indicator of where we are, similar side to us I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Think tomorrow could be a good indicator of where we are, similar side to us I'd say.I'd say they're better than us; were last season and look it again?I think they've added well, and finished higher than us last year with what they already had. They finished 9th last time, and on the face of it, have only lost Daniel Jones and Doug Loft from their main players last time; but have added (from a quick look) michael brown Michael o'connor Steve jennings Ryan mcgiven Mark marshall Freddy veseli Byron moore They look better prepared than us, their squad looks filled and their start has been better than ours. Its definately a gauge tomorrow; but again, I think the Colchester game was more of an indicator against a side we can realistically say are on par with us for attendenace, club size & budget. Unfortunately, as sad as it seems; I'd put Port Vale ahead of us right now. But i do agree, will be interesting to see how the defence cope with Ben Williamson & Tom Pope, and how we fair against their midfield and defence...

vendman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hope the players don't have there minds on the bingo! Big game coming up apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dictionary definition of a three pointer this. Massive game, must win. If we don't get all three points from this we've had it. If that clown Johnson hasn't spent the last 2 days on the training pitch gelling his new signings into an effective playing unit ready to get all three points from this vital August fixture then we might as well fold the club now.

unsworthlatic Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Big game? We're three games in after tomorrow night. If we lose, we lose and get on with it, hardly relegated. Would do wonders for confidence should we get a positive result I agree but by no means is this a 'massive game' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Gordon keeps saying in his interviews that we are only two games in and there's nothing to worry about. Tommy Wright says nothing is won or lost in August. Both statements are wrong because it's a lot harder trying to catch up than having the points in the bag early. Only two games yes, but lose tomorrow and it's probably 1 point from 5 games, and confidence already looks fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Its no way a must win, but in the context of fragile minds, and possible cliff edge drops in confidence others have alluded to, it will be important. But so is every next game. I am sure LJ won't be saying must win, but he will be trying to gee the players up for the win. It was always going to be a tough ask for all the new players to gel. But it does need to sooner rather than later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShireBlue Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I get the feeling this team is going to be very Jekyll and Hyde this season. God knows what'll happen tomorrow. That's my input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 We had all this doom and gloom business last season based on the last ten results of the seasons. I think the minimum on here amongst the losers was 1 win and the maximum 2 with virtually all the other results being defeats. I wouldn't like to be on a life boat with you lot or a 'backs to the wall' situation - like a fight with a paper bag. 3 games in, 2 against notably superior squads and we are doomed, again. Pathetic!

HarryBosch Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 We've been :censored:e so far. This doesn't mean we can't still have a good season. But we'd be more likely to have a good season had we not been :censored:e so far. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworthlatic Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The fact it would do wonders for confidence means that it is a big game. To be honest a 0-0 draw would do wonders for confidence, just to get Saturdays result out of the way, if we lose we get on with it, a bad start of 3/4 games without a win doesn't mean you're doomed, we'll get it right but when is the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latic76 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 What would we prefer: Play boring defensive football and endure a relegation battle or Play attacking attractive football and endure a relegation batterBit of a no brainer so why doesnt LJ let the shackles off and let us go for it? We're in for a long hard season near the bottom either way (IMO)....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think we could well lose tonight and on saturday. Saturday night will se the first Johnson out thread as the board goes into meltdown we then sign a couple of players before the transfer window SLAMS SHUT! and we recover to finish about 17th.
