singe Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 This time next week Rodney, we could be top half. 4 pts off relegation, 4 points of 12th! MAdly close. Might be one of the highest points tally getting relegated this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Sounded like we competed today. Keep that spirit up and we'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Key today waa winning the ball in midfield. Korey, Wes and the others didn't let them near our centre backs and we started loads of breaks off the ball of them. JCH was immense up top holding up the ball and putting himself about and the defence strong, Lockwood was again excellent. Sat too deep second half but understandable from a team without many wins of late. Finally the Chaddy was rocking. Doesn't matter where you put the fans - if they want to sing they'll sing wherever.

keep_the_faith Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Win at stumbling Orient now. Safe. What was the sweating for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Gillingham can't be good if Crewe beat them. Stevenage, Carlisle and Tranmere losing is great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I wouldn't have played Philliskirk. I thought weakening the midfield by bringing on Charlie was poor. One scores a goal. The other changed the whole dynamic of the second half and took the ever growing pressure off us. Well done LJ. Thank feck for that result.

Snookmeister Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Massive result that. We didn't half make bloody hard work of it though. Sat too deep, gave them too much room. We looked like the away side at times JCH and Charlie Mac need shooting lessons. Should have won by two or three. Ref was a weapons grade bell end that gave us :censored: all until about 70 mins. Worked hard for those points, although I would have liked to have seen us work harder off the ball and press more. That Gadaffi lad is the size of your average family saloon. What a unit!! The Chaddy was superb today. Looked like quite a few made the switch from the RRE and the lads sang their hearts out. Well done everyone.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Philli put a great shift in 1st half covering for Harkins, thought they were there for the taking 1st half and I was sure we would pay for only getting the 1. 2nd half they were as good a passing side as i have seen this season but without an end product, their no 5 must have touched the ball more than any other player today. It wasn't pretty but 3 points is all that matters. Oh and good to meet you underdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Anybody else notice their number 4 playing without shin pads in the first half? I thought that was a bookable offence ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc1895 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Philly did a lot of running and took his goal well but other than that not much else. Worral did nothing as usual. IMO Dayton to start Tuesday. JCH did a lot of thankless, tiring work and is starting to hold the ball up well. He's still got a fair bit of learning to do but that will come in time. Sometimes I feel he forgets he can use his right foot to shoot but shooting is what he needs to work on as he could easily could have had 3. The 4-1-4-1 worked well with Korey offering protection for the back 4 thus allowing Philly and occasionally Wes to push on. Harkins seems to always want to take on 1 man too many, but when he gets it right - it's properly right. IMO him and Charlie did a good job holding the ball up in the corner in the ridiculous 5 mins of added time. With 70 mins gone in every game we sit back and try to cling on for to what we have. We need to come out to players, close them down and make them make mistakes. IMO we don't because we get knackered but surely that's what we have a fitness coach for?

pukka Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not sure how JCH got MOTM. Surely it was one if the centre halves, wes or smith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Phew.....and breath..we are our own worst enemy how many times did we lose the the ball/pass the ball to an oppo player about the half way line onwards. Taking about inviting pressure back on ourselves. Thought we were playing crawley time.....longest 5 mins of my life. Nice to met disjointed and lookers today too. Now I need to defrost, my one gripe about rre is when that weather rolls in, it gets you pissed wet through....a couple of the fans were hurdling over the chairs better than Colin Jackson...heheh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the thing I saw at Crewe which was one of the big positives, Wes in particular got forward much more often than in a 4-4-2 on that day. That formation could get a big payoff at Orient on Tuesday imo. Edited March 22, 2014 by the_mighty_bosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could rock some defences especially early on when they are not expecting it. Edited March 22, 2014 by Oafc1895 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
