Post by jam tomorrow »

Hopefully Morrell will be available for this game I think Mous will play Robertson at CM with Towler on the bench, together with Pack?

I hate games against club’s fighting relegation unfortunately this and 4 others are against teams doing so
I’d like to see both Morrell and Lowery playing in midfield and Jacobs instead of Hackett

Agree teams are fighting for their lives and will be very defensive especially away from home

It may turn out to be a bit late now, but a good day results-wise. Pompey win, Derby lose, and Peterborough and Wycombe draw. I have a feeling our lack of goals could cost us in the end though, even if we can claw back the points. Looks like we totally dominated and only get one goal. It takes me back to the 92-93 season (can't believe that was 30 years ago!!). West Ham pipped us I think by scoring one goal more than us. I went to the Bristol Rovers away game and have never seen a more one-sided match - again we only won 2-1, where we should have got a shed load. A couple more goals and we'd have been up.

We are now just three points behind Derby, Peterborough & Bolton (in 5th place) Peterborough have to go to Ipswich & Barnsley. If we can beat Derby & Wycombe we could just sneak into 6th place. The problem then is we shall probably play either ipswich or Wednesday. The dream is still on PUP

The problem in 92/93 was that West Ham and Swindon played a day after us and Hoddle rested his first team as they already had a playoff position thus why now that all matches are on at the same time

Today was dire.
I do giggle at comments outside this forum such as "from our possession stats we totally dominated". The truth is we passed sideways, we passed back, we passed forward to a player facing back, who then passed back, we passed to keeper who then passed it out and then we repeated it all again, and again. Yes, lots of possession but no penetration.
It was so boring that in my area of North Upper we invented a game of guessing how long it would be until our players, with the ball at their feet, would beat a Forest Green player while advancing up the pitch (so no sideways or backward passing), just an attacking drive, dribbling I think it used to be called. Before I lost the will to live the maximum we waited was four minutes and 38 seconds of possession.
I would love us to get out of this league but we are noway ready to challenge any decent side on the basis of our performance today.

Also you missed the fact that Tunnicliffe spend most of the game as our deepest lying player mostly sitting on our own penalty area
