Ok, you're going back to Shez in 2008 then, to match this season's 7 wins on the bounce: Tranmere 1-0 Bournemouth 3-0 Donny (FAC) 2-1 Millwall 3-2 Southend 1-0 Leeds 3-1 Everton (FAC) 1-0 Yeovil 0-0 GIlls 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well, we've really missed Danny Rowe. We're clueless without his quality and leadership. There's a gaping hole in the team. It's not the goals so much as his creativity. At least with him on the pitch, we always have an outlet. I hope his very thigh strain heals sooner rather than later.

I can't see Kewell lasting much longer if results continue to tail like this. Feels like a defeat tonight to be held by them. Did we get beat? How is our away record ? F**ks sake get real.

oafc1955 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 So so frustrating watching that last night. Bahamboula must think he’s playing by himself!! Our ability to control and pass the ball with any degree of accuracy is extremely limited. Fage, Garity, & Piergianni are the biggest culprits but they’re not on their own! All over the pitch the amount of times we surrender possession is absolutely criminal! There were so many opportunities to create chances that were squandered either by playing the wrong pass at the wrong time or not passing quickly enough. You would think that tactical training and playing 2 competitive games nearly every week would gradually improve this aspect but sadly it doesn’t! I suppose it’s why the majority of this lot are plying their trade in the basement division. Nevertheless, it’s such a poor league, that two or three reasonably competent additions in the right areas would almost certainly have us up around the playoffs. Whether that happens is anyone’s guess!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Branston Pickle Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 A few positives: *We looked pretty solid for once. Struggled with Edwards in midfield for them who looked really lively but never looked like conceding. First clean sheet is a bonus *I liked the look of Luamba. Put himself about, really tried to press their centre halves and showed a fantastic bit of control and strength to trap the ball, hold off their defender and pass it in the second half. Could be a good foil for some of our strikers *I stayed awake until the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been crap without him. He is our most creative player by a mile. I', not talking about goals but about performances. With him in the team, we looked very very different. People became far more positive. He's a leader and his value to the team as a whole, not just goals but performances, is marked by his absence. Perhaps it's just me. I really enjoyed the way we played with him in the team. I haven't enjoyed most performances without him. We destroyed Bradford away. We didn't do that home. We were poor against Walsall and for over an hour against Newport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's fit he should be our central forward player, but I think the team can function with Grant playing that role (as proven by Cambridge, Bradford at home and Newport) despite him being a weaker option. We definitely missed a player with that kind of nous up front last night. Luamba did OK and I rate Dearnley's finishing ability, but neither are able to play that role with confidence yet and it showed. 16 minutes ago, bigfatjoe1 said: We've been crap without him.

We could function without Ritchie, but we were always far more enjoyable with him (although i'm over stretching it with this borderline ridiculous comparison, but you get the point). Put it another way, the Bradford FA cup win was far more enjoyable than the home league win, and Rowe is the main reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Rowe equalises at their place, it cuts to Alexander in the changing room -after the game and he just shouts at his players. . . Danny . . fucking . . Rowe!!??? It was highly amusing how affronted their were by drawing against minnows like Oldham and that Danny fucking Rowe had the temerity to score against them.

It’s a problem here because we’re shopping in the bargain bucket and we generally don’t have the nous to exploit it. (Bam and Mac are the only examples) it’s not an issue there because they can afford to bring in known quality signings. Who recruits is largely moot IMO, it’s much more about what you can afford.
