oafc1955 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 After weeks of absolute shite we are now seeing a massive improvement in both performances and results. We are by no means there yet but for about 20 minutes at Valley Parade today we were absolutely unplayable. After years of having to endure an impotent strike force, goal scoring is beginning to become a given. It’s mad to think we took Bradford apart and yet still have Bamboozle and Dearnley to come back. If we could add a player or two in January and turn our home form around there’s no reason why we shouldn’t aim for the playoffs at least. I think a lot of fans, me included, will be eating large portions of humble pie after that performance today....long may it continue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's a funny old game, after looking the worst team in 60 years we are now looking the best team in recent years. HK has took some stick, but deserves credit for getting the lads to gel. When we get Bahamboula and Dearnley back alongside McAleny and Rowe its going to be great to watch going forward.

A lot comes down to simple things: 1. Playing Rowe/Dearnley and not just Blackwood on his own 2. Admitting you can't play three across the back with only one centre back, and signing Clarke and Diarra instead of playing Jombati or Hamer out of position 3. Admitting Whelan, Garrity, Keillor-Dunn all can't tackle, and bringing in Ntambwe to win the ball and connect defence and attack This issues were glaringly obvious, but at least they've got round to fixing them. I just hope we can keep Clarke beyond January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcmetty Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Not to completely piss on everyone's chips, but we've played Bradford twice now, and both times they've been shite. Maybe we've made them look shite, or maybe we're just better than them - but caution would suggest that we're not world beaters just yet. Tranmere seem much more impressive, let's see how we do against them Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaddyexile84 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I was absolutely all for driving him anywhere, but Scunthorpe aside, last few weeks has shown that perhaps his message is getting across. I guess looking at it with a level head it was always going to take a completely new team with next to no league experience time to get up to speed but after enduring so much shite for so long we can be a bit impatient. im still cautious about getting too excited and his accent still grates on me - and his hair and his coat but... Well done Harry (and Mo) keep it up!! ”KewellMo’s blue and white army” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longlostfan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 So results are a bit better ( let's leave for a moment debates about how fragile this run maybe) maybe its time to think about the future for a moment? Contracted for next season Badan, Hamer, Whelan, Pidge, Blackwood, Dearnley. Haven't seen enough of Badan, might take cash for Hamer but would assume they all stay Options Bamboozler, Ntambwe,Jameson. Exercise all three. Loanees Try now to secure Clarke for rest of season, Anyone want to make Lawlor permanent? Hope there isn't a recall on MacCalemont. Relaxed about Grant and Garity- might be able to upgrade This season only Rowe, McAleny, CBJ get an offer in sooner rather than later. Keeping Rowe past January rather than taking cash will be a sign of intent for me. Jombati, Fage, Barnet could do a job based on last few games.

Wee Bobby Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Its good the way things are going for Harry. Lets just consider not only the players we need to keep. Most on here were calling for Harry's head a few short weeks ago. Has anybody thought that he might be in demand soon if we carry on with our improvement in League and cup. He is only on a contract to June. He's getting a lot of good press at the moment, even on BBC. There are clubs up the pyramid who are struggling who may consider him a good bet . Mo and Co may let him go if an offer was made on the 7months left on his contract. Therefore its imperative the manager gets a longer contract NOW. Anybody agree!

disjointed Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Has he done anything to deserve a longer contract, we are 17th in a shit league and just knocked a poor Bradford side out of the cup. Give it a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bobby Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Dis. I did say our recent form is good. Take away the first 4 games this season and we have 17 points from 10. That carried through to 46 played would give us around 78 pts. Include the first 4 and we can still achieve around 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
