TheBigDog Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think tonight’s performance encapsulated our season: brilliant in parts, dreadful in others. Scoring at will but conceding too easily. Poor basic skills followed by sublime play - even the manager joined in with his baffling substitutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Let’s just celebrate back to back wins, 9 goals scored, 3 conceded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It all got a bit too easy at 3-0. It looked like we could cut through them for fun and they had shown nothing. There subs worked and they really gave it a go. They could've easily have had four. Fair play, we eventually dug deep, settled and picked them off. Entertaining game! If Colchester can get their game together as they did in the middle of the second half, then they have a fighting chance. We're safe! There, i've said it. Wouldn't jinx it before, but i will boldly state tentatively suggest that we are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a roller coaster of a season. With the subs, i was a actually glad to see Diarra come on. He really adds a certain physical presence. Taking Mac the Knife off was baffling, but i did think BamBam was a bit knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are definitely safe - 50 points was the bench Mark in League 1 - it shows how dog shit this league is it’s much much less (and yes I know the Premier League is 40 but they’re dicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only Barnett have been relegated (in recent times) on 51 point (12-13 season). It's not going to happen. As you say, this is a piss poor league. I reckon three quality signings would have had us in the play-offs. Never mind. Football has kept me going this season, I've watched more games than i have in a long time and i think the lower league clubs deserve a big pat on the back (and a huge rescue package).

Flemboy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 For twenty minutes in the second half we could have blown a 3-0 lead by playing deep and allowing them to attack.Hopefully lessons we be learnt. Good win in the end but too nervy but thought Pidge again led by example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 10 hours ago, Wardie said: While I agree up to a point, I think the same 11 should be able to play and maintain consistency. Inevitable injuries etc. will always throw a spanner in the works and yes, the quality in depth is not the best. I get that in a normal season, but when players are playing twice a week, every week, some need to be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Big impact from DKD last night. Two goals and our first two came as a result of him being fouled in or at edge of penalty box. Still not the finished article, still weaknesses, but someone who can, and often does, cause real problems for the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkably improved player, seemed to struggle for consistency at first then really delivered. The pre season hype worked against him perhaps. It's so frustrating to be watching on the screen, I cant judge how quick they are or the off the ball movement, looking forward to seeing that. Aside from his great individual contribution, we have a team player, working great with Conor Mac and others, playing with a smile on his face. Hope we keep hold of this talent.

Scoring at will but conceding too easily. Poor basic skills followed by sublime play - even the manager joined in with his baffling substitutions. Agree with thisBigDog. So we are now top scorers in the division....if someone had said that at the start of the season id have said they were a basket case. However I'd also have said if we were we would be going up. We also have conceded the most goals in the division....again if someone had said this at the start of the season I'd have bet on us going down. So I guess in summary in the strangest of seasons we should be thankful we are still in business(at the moment anyway), still in this horrible division(is not gone down), still splitting our long suffering supporters weekly who generally can't decide if we are a decent or shit side, and have in the main been involved in many pretty low quality but highly entertaining games. Roll on next season when we can get behind and abuse the lads and generally have a great day out at the footy agian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameson was playing very well and we were definitely weakened with CBJ having to move into the back 3. Conor Mac was probably taken off to give him a bit of a rest. Why Whelan was kept on I don't know, he was the weak link last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
