Hoe for a win

[HappyOwl]

What’s the Capacity of the away end after the Mithering barcode Fannie’s debacle?

Toytown reckon they have sold 2800

Just fuck Dawson off and we stand a chance

As has been said, the usual weaknesses rearing their ugly heads again last night.

I don't buy into the 'low on confidence' theory. Players need to be extremely strong mentally. Anyone failing on this front should not be anywhere near the game.

When your team concedes a goal, you double your efforts to put it right. You don't do a hand slap between team mates,  ala Valentin and Iorfa, immediately after 2-0.

Thought, as decent a strike as the free kick was, Dawson still has to save it.

Can't wait for 'throw-in of the month' for October...

In real time, from behind the goal, I thought it took a deflection off of Bannan's head, which took it away from him. Although it doesn't seem so obvious when I've seen it on the highlights.

Best we've  been this season 1st 40 mins then debutant hits super strike (bit of a deflection) Every little thing not going well at the moment, may be clutching at straws but hopefully getting all the shit luck out of the way first. Good luck incoming, believe.

It did, young un called it immediately watching on ifollow and it was only the replay from behind the goal that I saw it.

Anyone blaming him for that, or any of the other goals is thick and/or racist against ginners 

Thought he was the least of our issues last night 

He's fucking wank. 2 nil down and he's titting about with the ball like we're 2 up. Same at 3 down. 

Ok The FK went in the corner, but the others would've been saved by any another keeper in this league

Might as well have not bothered with him in the net last neet for what he actually did

This "one of us" is fucking embarrassing, especially with Dawson & Palmer being the ones its sung about.

[HappyOwl]

Well that was some journey and one that I won’t be doing again for a long while.

Fans were class as usual singing even at 3 down

Players looked very sheepish at the end and couldn’t wait to get down the tunnel 

Thought we were great up to the first goal then the sinking feeling started stood right behind the free kick and we called it straight away just knew it was flying in the top corner nothing Dawson could do about it maybe a better set up wall and I thought it was a bit close to be able to get it up and over but hey ho.

Onto Sunday and I think if we play like that first 40 minutes we will give them a game but it’s a derby etc etc 

it’s the hope that kills you and singing Wednesday till I die 300 miles from home when your 3-0 down 😢😢😢

Valuable lesson for the kids that it’s all exciting till you’ve lost and have a 5 hour journey home but we still do it.

We are going to need to hit promotion winning form soon at 2 points average per game to get out of this 50 points target still to aim for but we may be down before the trimmings.

Keep the faith everyone 

Can I start the match thread for Sunday as I can’t do any worse 😂😂😂🙌🙌

Another way of looking at the current plight … if we were 11 points clear at the top would any of you be saying that’s it we’ve won this ???

Answer is no!!

Thus 11 points adrift does not equal relegation in October .. like 11 points clear doesn’t equal promotion in October! 

 

all to play for!! UTO!

If we were 11 points clear with 3 games to play I would still  think the EFL would find summat to deduct us points.

The rather large difference is you have at least won a few games and possibly played well to get top of the table. 

In our scenario it is hard to see where we go. It's taken a huge leap just to be competitive in games. Probably a similar leap required to regularly win games 

Saying that would be very Wednesday to be on 48 points with 4 games to go, then lose the fucking lot and go down anyway

Sorry but that is not on Dawson, he had the most touches because purely everytime he played it out, it came straight back to him. Then when looking for a player, they just stood still not wanting the ball. It happens so often when we're losing, none of the players seem to want the ball therefore just give it back to the keeper or just look uninterested and not attempt to find space or help out a player etc. Vasquez would have suffered the same if he was in goal 

Its why I absolutely hate the playing out of the back. Our defenders are not good at playing out from the back yet we still do it. Then when one of the midfielders comes to help, looks up and sees everyone just standing still being marked, off the ball goes back from the midfielder to the keeper.

I blame football in general for this. Why this style of play has somehow taken on, I have no idea.

If we don’t score on Sunday we can’t have a goal of the month competition for October 😩😩😩

If we actually can't, that might concentrate one or two minds. Probably not, though.

You're confusing HappyOwl with HammyOwl?

Fair play. I only saw it on the Sky red button. No replays on there and haven't watched it back.

That red button service really is poor. We're almost lucky if the lazy cameraman actually follows the action. Still didn't see anything of Dawson receiving treatment. Bloke in the gantry kept showing us nothing happening in the middle of the pitch. Not sure why it wasn't shown. Not as if he was dead.

I presume Dawson's injury was a time wasting move while Diaby was off getting patched up? The lassie commentator appeared to miss that as well.

Cannae get the staff nowadays.

Win 1-0 to an own goal. That'll be fun.
