It's at home where we are failing, put that right against a good attacking football team in Southend on Saturday then it's all systems go.

diggleblue Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 2 minutes ago, League one forever said: Owe us??? Two loses in ten before tonight, not lost in the previous 8 games away from home. Just carried on their outstanding away form. I know it’s shite to watch at home, but I’ll keep saying it, the bigger picture was and is good. If we don’t win again at home this season, but finish in the Playoffs, I honestly can’t understand why anyone would care? It's not the winning it's the performances. If we play well and we lose the odd one fair enough but we need to see regular good performances otherwise a playoff place will be disappointing. I've seen us lose matches in the playoffs before with good teams and players. Play like we did on Saturday and we can start mourning now. If we can learn from the remains matches promotion will be ours. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League one forever Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Where is all the criticism for our absolutely shit midfield- who by the way have just contributed to 9- yes 9 unbeaten away from home. Do we only pile in on them when we lose, and give them no credit when we win??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If a football match could be a song that tonight was Susan Boyle’ first appearance on BGT! Before the game we, the audience, were sneering and laughing at the events to come….and then it began, beautiful from start to finish. McGahey, despite from a distance appearing to have a similar body shape to Boyle had suddenly morphed into the love child of John Sheridan and Andrea Pirlo, commanding the stage, delivering pass after pass and linking play between front and back. Hammond and Sheron buzzing around him, Green and Kitch giving endless width and our numerous Centre half’s winning absolutely everything that came their way. Up front Mikey never let the shattered Eastleigh defenders rest and Garner did what he does, an absolute pest and giving us goals until promotion comes As the game ended and our noisey fans roared their approval I swear I heard Ant or Decs little voice saying “you weren’t expecting that were you?” BP may currently be a footballing desert for us but down south it is truly an OASIS 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Really enjoyed that. Away end was bouncing, lots of singing all game. Frank joining in and swinging his cap round. Team played with intent and as confidence grew and the gaps opened up we started to pass it around really well. That Raglan non-foul was bizarre but I also thought the ref missed McCallum with a nasty late one on Hogan. Get that fookin form table fired up!… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They owed us. Er, it’s Eastleigh. Good win, but I’m all for calling a spade a spade when it’s shit. But even when we do well people have to put caveats in. We’re having our best season in god knows how many years and no one is enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we only pile in on them when we lose, and give them no credit when we win??? I've been working but I can have a go if you want..... Seriously though Lundstrum didn't play which was a big help and I thought Hammond and Green gave us the pace and drive we've been missing, Sheron also played further up the pitch which better suits him. Only when the midfield dropped in for the last 15 did we look a bit ropey. Let's back it up Saturday please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauntlet thrown down, roll on Saturday Done us a big favour this week by beating those two teams. One more favour by giving us a rare home win would be much apppreciated!

If we lost tonight - (for the first time in 9 away games) we would have had 20/30/40 posts already. I can only assume that many are much happier moaning about defeat than being happy with winning.

This is my 'local' derby. Not missed a game at BP for nigh on thirty years. Win, lose, or draw I've seen all three. All the joys, what if's, and the pain. At 3 o'clock I get to sing for team and county, at 5 o'clock it will be whatever. At the beginning of the season it was a miracle our game against you was on. Come Saturday, we have a brighter future, it's all about football again, and 3 points. Bring it on ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way of the world that it is easier to moan than praise. I really enjoyed the game tonight. When you see the way they put in the effort you know you have a good chance to win a game. Little moments can go against you, but you can take that if overall you show a desire to go forward and win. Even our hoofing seemed to be hoofed up to one of our players for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is they pressed and Hammond and Sheron played further up the pitch, they also won second balls, McGahey in particular won a fair few second balls. Sheron still knocks it up the pitch for no reason. Hammond still not great when on the ball. Both put effort in yesterday, the minimum expectation. McGahey was the big difference yesterday for me.

Thought we looked our weakest when Hammond came off for Gardner. at present Hammond appears to run a lot (which is valuable in itself) but his passing is poor. He’s very light as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
