Adrian Schultz Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well played lads , I thought you were by far the better team tonight although that was our worse 90 min for some time. Very fortunate to come away with 3 points. Play like that for the rest of the season and you'll be in the mix for sure, good luck for the rest of the season apart from when we visit yours.

welshgaz Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Cheers. We've not been outplayed yet lost 4 times already. Worrying stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 And in fairness your defence looked way too strong for us and most of our pretty football didn't actually lead to anything more than several dozen corners!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers pal. We definately didn't get the rub of the green did we? Awful deflection although we should have got in front of him and that penalty!!!

laticdickovarmy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Walsall outplayed us and that was it. We would have won a whole host of neutrals tonight but its points I want Nice to see decent fans from other clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Schultz Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Football a funny old game as we turned Walsall over on Sat. Lucky first goal as Beavon was ducking the shot , but your man shouldn't have made the tackle for the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadam Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thought we played well. Preston got a bit lucky but that's football. I thought it was a pen. He could never have got the ball from that position. We really need to start picking up points. Defence looks shaky at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Would make it a rule....never ever tackle a player in the penalty area who is running away from goal....simples ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyblue Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Would make it a rule....never ever tackle a player in the penalty area who is running away from goal....simples ! To be fair, I thought Davies got across Wes as he was about to play it and then fell down like he was shot. Technically a foul but pretty unlucky and clever play from Davies.

lancy lad Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Wes got the ball. Davies knew what to do, it was never a penalty in a million years. The PNE handball on the line however!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 It was a penalty all night long. Davies played it perfectly, just managed to get himself in front of Wes, saw the challenge coming and allowed the contact to be made. Very intelligent play.

slystallone Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Whiley and cynical, but ultimately clever and a full use of bags of experience. Davies was always looking for some form of contact, no matter how small. Wes helped him in that regard. That said, he touches the ball 1st and it shouldn't have been given. Their FB's handball was in fairness a handball, but so tricky to spot through that amount of players, and in the real-time pace it happened in. I would have wanted it given, it was a handball; but i can totally see how it's been missed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That said, he touches the ball 1st and it shouldn't have been given. I saw the replay on the telly numerous times and it looks like I'm going to have to have another few looks, cos I don't think he got near it.

slystallone Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The view i'm going off is the one from basically behind the line, so Wes is on the right, Davies in front on the left. I timed it pretty darn well i think and got to the pause as Wes just (and it is just) get a touch. As i say above - very cynical but very experienced and clever play from Davies in buying it. And, from the linesman view point, looking straight at it, i can see why he gave the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_La_Vega Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I saw the replay on the telly numerous times and it looks like I'm going to have to have another few looks, cos I don't think he got near it. Ball or man? It looked to me, both in real time and watching replays, like he touched neither. Lino wanted to give it as soon as Davies got in front. Spineless officiating and blatant cheating from the striker don't add up to good forward play for me... That said, should never have gone near him in the first place.

whitey1980 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have every sympathy for Wes, but reckon he will have been apologising in the changing rooms. There were red flags all over the situation as it developed and he should never have given Davies the opportunity to go down.........which the diving cheat took full opportunity of!!! Poor decision by the officials but not clever defending either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've not seen the replays. But I'd have given a penalty if I'd been the referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey1980 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Me too in real time, had no complaints until watching the replay at half time! Contact was minimal at best......was interesting that the lino gave it as ref was about to wave it away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Wes got his toe to the ball, but at the same time brushed Davis leg, both were off balance and fell. Is that a pen no, because Wes got the ball, but in real time it was a pen all day. Wes was stupid to try and get the ball it was going nowhere and he should have let Davis have it. That's four totally avoidable penalties we have given away in seven games .That is unforgivable and ruins all the very good displays we have had. LJ needs to stamp this out.

Contact was minimal at best......was interesting that the lino gave it as ref was about to wave it away!! Haven't seen the replays of it yet, my reaction at the time was that it wasn't a penalty (or at least it wouldn't have been given at the other end) BUT it was such a needless challenge, he was going nowhere.couldn't believe we went in 2 down at HT, it made no sense. I've never seen fans cheer every pass when they're losing before. It was just one of those nights. Fair play to you for giving us credit, good luck for the rest of the season except the obvious. Grayson's a good manager, he's as good a bet as anyone to get you promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Some rash decision making re challenges in the box is costing us ( oxley at peterborough was another ) with players running away from goal but inviting a naive challenge. We also need to score when well on top. A pleasing performance on the eye but a run of victories is much needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
