M42Owl Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 It’s Bakinson OR Adeniran for me. Vaulks +1 behind Windass. Quote

HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Posted January 20, 2023 Comments from DM: George is 50-50 for the game, we don't expect to be without him for long, it all depends on his level of discomfort. Reece James is going to be out for a few weeks with ankle ligament damage It's disappointing for us because Reece brings that versatility. We've had Michael Hector in with us already, we're just taking a look. It's great to see him, give him that platform and he is an option. We are just taking it steady with him at this moment. Fleetwood will be a real good test. On Boxing Day they were a solid outfit. You can see the quality of work Scott has done with the players. They are in good form and will be dangerous opponents It's great to have Baz back out there training and have his enthusiasm back on the pitch. He's joined in training, sharp as ever but we are giving him the necessary volume first. It's been a good week for him Quote
HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Posted January 20, 2023 DM: I'm thankful for the kind words Gareth (Ainsworth) gave to us after Saturday's game. He'll be up there in the mix with his Wycombe team for sure. I said to the boys after the game it was an excellent win because of the level of players we came up against Quote

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 This is a game where the fans need to come into play with vocal backing from the start. Now we have got hold of second spot really need to build on this and help the team. We have been guilty of the atmosphere being pretty flat at times and need to bring some of the away atmosphere to Hillsborough. 1 Quote
HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Posted January 20, 2023 I can't disagree H12P. But only a goal in the first 5 - 10 minutes will make sure of that IMO. Quote

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 When we get in and around the box, we have the quality Just that the moments of quality are so rare. Said all season Smith, Gregory and Windass is not working Quote
KrolMong Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 It’s been a bit disjointed. We are lacking someone who can retain possession in tight spaces. But, when we get into their final third, we cause problems - the issue is getting it there. Fleetwood are neat and tidy. If I am making a change I’d be tempted with Bakinson or Dele for Dennis. Or Dele for Gregory with Windass going up top. Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 That should be it now - penalty to us with the 4 mins up Quote
Kiwi Owl Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Very disjointed performance that was. But its 3 points, that's all that matters in the end. We missed a Bannan/Byers today. Someone that can stamp their authority on the ball Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Fuck me we make hard work of these games Quote

Skamp Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Thar penalty miss allowed Plymouth to get a goal back on us. Nice result at oxford though. Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Ipswich losing an added bonus for sure. But we have got to improve for those games v Ipswich and Plymouth. And play 3 proper midfielders not using Windass as one. Simply leaves us short in there and lacking the control of possession Quote
Andyben Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 What if we're not playing a possession based game? Quote
KrolMong Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 To be honest. For 80 minutes it was comfortable. They never threatened Dawson, their possession was generally in front of us and we did fashion and create the better chances without us being at our best. It changed with the introduction of Dele because the shape went. I’m not saying he’s a bad player, but he does have a job to do without the ball and he caused chaos when he came on, generally being stood in no man’s land when they had the ball. I agree with @Andyben that we weren’t attempting possession football today especially without Byers and Bannan. Lots of positives though, thought the back three were excellent. Vaulks was again good and I thought Adeniran had a good second half. Dawson, whilst not busy, was assured. Negs? Smith and Gregory lost the physical scrap, and it didn’t stick, which if you are being more direct is an issue. We are displaying ways of winning without playing well which is a good strength. It’s another clean sheet, and in fairness, for 80 mins, a very comfortable afternoon despite not playing well. 1 Quote

Some of our attacking decision making was poor and a bit panicked. Daft thing when we get it right we look incredibly dangerous, why it comes in fits and starts is a mystery to me Quote
Winco Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 I enjoyed that we must be horrible to play against, we just don’t look like conceding at all. agree that without Byers,Bannan was never gonna be free flowing. Sure we’re 1 game away from club record for clean sheets. Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Agree with all that, just need to take jeopardy out of these games. We won't always get away with it and nearly didn't today Quote
