Thanks for that. hopefully we will win the league but in all honesty as long as we get promoted out of this terrible league we are not too fussed whether it's first,second or third. The football we play is the best since the 1960's but we keep getting done by pub teams launching long throw-ins and hoofball into our box. Last night they had 10 men behind the ball for 90 mins and their only means of attack was some guy with a 50 yard throw.
1_0 win a goal in 95 mins.
Just in after a 4 hour drive home. What an awful game played in gale force winds. Both sides unable to control the ball but Stevenage should have wrapped it up with 5 mins to go when they blew a one-on-one with our keeper. Utter chaos then in the away end when Rossiter's cross is flicked on and falls to Maynard to bury it with 60 seconds to go. As usual Rossiter was the one breaking up attacks and covering for about 3 other players. He got a nose bleed at one point when he appeared on the edge of their penalty area. Without him in the team I think we would have lost today. He has played 180 mins for the last few weeks with no signs of tiredness. We just have one game a week now (apart from Easter). We should be secure for a play-off place so now to aim for automatics.
Checked the score just before I drove home and it was 0-0 in injury time so I thought that was that
A run of games is precisely what he needs. Would love him to come back and make an impact.
It was a pretty poor game as it always tends to be when the home side sets up for a 0-0. Plenty of energy and crunching tackles from Rossiter again, possibly shaded MOTM. Only complaint was that he had a couple of good shooting opportunities from around 25 yards but seemed reluctant to take them on and passing sideways instead. Got a nasty knock in the first half but ran it off within 5 minutes. He is the good old fashioned midfield terrier ! Was still running in the 90th minute like it was the 1st.
Would you say he's comparable to McCrorie?
he certainly seems more at home doing the defensive work in midfield and doesn't often get in the attacking third. Vital for any good team to have a workhouse like him.
I almost put them and Luton on as a double. Thankfully, I thought better of it.
should leave us off - we are unbeaten since Boxing Day - law of averages say we will lose soon.
All are welcome ! Beckford will probably never kick another ball for us as he is out for the season and is possibly our biggest earner so will be let go in the summer. Danns has just scored for Guyana and is our international star lol - ironically being kept out of the team by Rossiter. Maynard we snapped up on a free as our manager used to play with him. Miles too good for this league and will probably move on in the summer.
Hopefully just an off day for Bury and Rossiter.
see my warning further up !!
Hopefully, but the signs were there in the last 2 games. Everything went wrong - we lost, our 3 main contenders won, our best player got sent off (3 game ban) and B*lton won 2-1 away. I need a lot of beer tonight !
Alot of beer tonight and a Rangers win tomorrow will see you alright.
Be an off day next Saturday once the mighty Cumbrians get a hold of you.Then again maybe not as Pressley has been the disaster I thought he would be
The whole team seemed 'tired' today for some reason. Nothing would happen for us and we just became more and more frustrated until Mayor got hacked down the the 200th time and retaliated and got sent off. Can see us blowing this big time. Massive game in hand on Tuesday.
Mayor on his day looks like one of the best in the league as well, big loss if he's out for 3 games
yes I think it's 3 games - massive loss. Saw the red mist after being kicked every time he got the ball.
Watched the highlights on EFL earlier. I would be raging at your man getting sent off like that tbh. Reacting to an admittedly bad challenge like that was uncalled for. Let his team mates down.
I sincerely hope the likes of Rossiter and Docherty are given a chance at Rangers,certainly in Jordan's case I think we're well overdue a season or two from him and I think they could be a couple of aces for us.
