Kusunga_Is_God Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Jesus. You’d think we won the game with the replies on here. We were alright in possession but it wasn’t that great lads we’ve just lost the game! Didnt test the keeper enough and the attack broke down far too often. Should have had a point because they were wank. Next handful of games will tell us if we’re going to do anything this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Genuinely think Jack Byrne will be the difference between top 7 and bottom-half. We won’t go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbaneblue Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Well the blue goggles have been put away for another 10 days, now I've had time to consider the game here are my thoughts. First 20 minutes defence lacked any leadership or decision making and we conceded two very soft goals. The penalty was a foul but soft, biggest issue I have is that the referee gives that but doesn't give at least 3 soft ones in our favour, but we all know the standard of refereeing is awful. We didn't create enough and they have created chances with iversen saving two with his feet. Thought Branger looked dangerous but can't fathom why he was switched to right wing as Nepo not as good or as effective. Overall we do have the physicality to be competitive but lack quality, crying out for a right midfielder hopefully Cotterill comes in. One game doesn't define a season and hopefully we get some quality in the pitch and move forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say I've not seen anyone say we were great. My take is that most people have seen a young depleted team make a bad start and make some silly errors to which they will / must learn from. Then I've read that we made a fist of it against one of the better sides and showed some passion but just didn't have that killer instinct and a draw would have been the least we deserved, You my friend obviously have to put that another way, which is really tedious to say the least.

All very deja vu for me after last season... Same midfield issues, same lack of quality and no service for strikers. Reserving judgement until we're closer to full strength but we definately wont be relegation battlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have too, I'm realistic and whoever wins the league will lose their fair share, we were unlucky today, started slowly but grew into the game, we had MK on the ropes the majority of the second half but they held out gallantly, it was a fair performance against many people's promotion favourites so to say we were two or three players short and still don't look the finished article I am quite pleased with today.

Flemboy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can't read too much into the first game .Players will need time to gel.Glad Gardner tried one from the edge of the box and scored.At times too many were passing to each other with no end shot.It will take time to get used to all these new players faces and names.Lots of players to choose from and one or two showed promise today.Apart from the poor first half an hour we kept going at them and thought we would get an equaliser as the game went on. I left feeling not too disappointed and can see a decent team forming in the next few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thought we played alright, but same old story - we can never just nick a result. A draw would have been well deserved after the start. The ref was appalling (only 4 minutes at the end??), as was MK players going down and staying down every time a Latics player was near them. Counted three occasions when we should have had a penalty in the second-half for shirt pulling. Coke needs to be better (Nepo in for him at Forest Green). With the exception of Coke and Millar/O'Grady who didn't offer much, it's hard to find fault with the team, particularly in the second half. Love players like Granger - old fashion wingers who attack their full-back. Him on one wing and Cotterill on the other would be great. Granger also linked up well with Hunt. Surridge looks like a handful too - a decent partner for him would bring a lot of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody posts something that could be deemed at all positive and your all over them like a bad rash. You're entitled to post whatever you want pal, but take it from me it takes a much bigger man to give credit and praise than one who constantly belittles and demoralises.

Standard 2-part logic going on by some. 1. There are no positives in a defeat 2. Anyone suggesting a positive must be portrayed as though they are saying that they loved the game and the performance was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticio Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thought we looked much fitter as a team than MK Dons - hence why MK Dons were hanging on in last 20 minutes. In previous seasons we would have been flagging in last 20 minutes - so all credit to the management for this. At least 4 MK players were on the verge of collapse in the last 5 minutes before injury time. I personally thought Miller was one of our better players and Coke was pretty non descript. O’Grady Is a poor man’s Miller although it would be unfair to pass too much judgement on his limited time on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is that we were not at full strength and we dominated possesion against one of the divisions main title contenders thats enough reasons to be optimistic is it not? I saw enough today to give me hope for this season I also expect us to make nore signings before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbaneblue Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 They will be up there no question, I didn't think we dominated possession and they moved ball more effectively and created chances. Early days though but signs of good fitness levels and a few players missing that would have probably started which gives me hope for winning more games than we lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogdenwoodwhittle Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 1 hour ago, yarddog73 said: I hope our fans will give this young team particularly the back five a chance, really unlucky today, two sloppy bits of play punished. Much better team for the last hour, everyone played their part and it was an encouraging start with decent backing from the stands. Only real gripe I have is the lack of leaders on the pitch they were like strangers at times and need to help each other out, other than that we will be just fine. Yes From main stand you clearly heard their back four barking out instructions and encouragement.didnt hear anything from our team.need a leader like Clarke on the field.but given relative newness of the team and coaching style of the Management team actually thought all was as to be expected and their was enough encouragement against one of supposed better teams Surridge looks confident and Graham a tower of strength. Just need 2 wingers who can get to the line and pull ball back to oncoming forwards. Favourite moment today was Andy Rhodes doing his nut in with 4th official when 4 minutes injury additional time was put up while a player was prone on the ground. Overall, for my first season for 20 years as a season ticket holder I enjoyed today and look forward to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
