HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted January 20, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Steady first half. Wasn’t the easiest finish from Johnson, could easily have ballooned it over the bar given the pace the cross came at him. Hopefully get the second and put it to bed early on in the second half.

KrolMong Posted January 21, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellsview Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I think that Adeniran shot just now might be the worst effort on goal I’ve ever seen! 😂 Edited January 21, 2023 by Bellsview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 21, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 What if we're not playing a possession based game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted January 21, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
