MATCH: Cheltenham


Recommended Posts

Pleasently suprised with the performance after 30 minutes. Still not fantastic but it doesn't need to be fantastic if we can grind out results like that. 

Blackwood looked like a weight off his shoulders after he scored, still not completely convinced of what his position should be. 

The lads Bennett and Clark looked really solid as did Hamer the and Jameson. Bam was a pain in their arse from his intro. 

Rowe was quality again. All round a better performance but we've got to stop conceding before giving it a go.

Well earned 3 points against a good team.Danny and Bam did well and that corner from which we scored was brilliant. 

Glad Clark scored .Dunn put asecond decent shift in  .

Hope Zak is not out for long and pity he didne score after a few seconds!!

Keep it up Latics.

I forgot there was a game tonight, remembered then went on the BBC and pleasantly surprised to discover a win. It didn't say who the assists were for the Latics goals and a bizarre stat of 30% possession but 16 shots compared to Cheltenham's 12...and  8 on target to their 3.

It’s a welcome win but only 30% possession for a home team at this level is ridiculous!

Why? When Leicester won the Premier they were way under 50% for the whole season. 


I don’t think we are winning the Premier league anytime soon, 😏

 

at any rate they did it at the top of their league - not at the arse end of League 2. Guess they had a defence that didn’t resemble 4 battle cruisers that had been scuttled as well

But at this level those stats are guesstimates. The Press Association are often wrong on their less complicated stats too. 

 

We let them have the ball in their half and they kept the ball well with not much threat. So they are naturally going to win the possession. We won the game, and no one remembers any other stats than that, unless you have money on it.

MacAleny Dearnley, Grant , Blackwood Dunn are being routinely selected before him by professional coaches.

 

They offer pace, mobility and defensive and work rate qualities he does not, .and they are all currently scoring more or the same as him  
He is a brilliant striker of a ball and has good vision but he limits the way we can play. Tonight’s system suited him....we had no interest in a high press and were happy to sit deep with two banks and you can then relieve him ( and Blackwood) of some tracking responsibilties .....

Frig it a wins a win against a team which will be up there for promotion this season. If we can get a settled side instead of chopping and changing every week we should end up mid table at least
