We need to start winning some games and a half decent wide would have beaten them tonight. We played a side who are battling for 2nd place, had won their last two games by scoring 4 goals, and were playing two very decent loan players in their side. The fact we kept a clean sheet was about our good organisation and hard work, as it was about their “poor” performance in my opinion. We are having to play defenders from the youth team, wingers as central midfielders, and strikers with no confidence in front of goal. Personally I think they all did well and it was a continued sign that the manager knows how to organise and motivate a team, and that performance makes me confident about the future. Not negative as you seem to be feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 No goals is a concern, but we just played two of the top 6 and didn’t concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if our better attacking and creative players aren’t due back soon I hope we are looking to sign 2 players in forward areas to help out. Preferably with pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Horse Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It's goal scoring midfielders we need. Kieran Lee used to chip in with a goal every so often but apart from Reach's wonder strikes the mid has dried up. Wallace was always good for a belter and that Fernando bloke used to ghost in from the left a fair bit too. Our central defenders hardly scored under Carlos either. Reda and Miguel used to score from every other corner. Rambling but in short - if the rest of the team chip in with goals, it takes the pressure off the front two to play with a bit more freedom.

Because before then he was saying how we should be doing better in the game. Goodman has always irritated me. It's like his brain can only formulate a small number of words at a time. He speaks in this... really weird fashion where... there are really long pauses... after every few words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC1Owl Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Early days, and not much to go on if I'm making predictions (Carlisle may as well have not been on the pitch if the highlights were any guide. On the other hand we are missing Westwood, Lees, Lee, Bannan, Forestieri, Hooper and others). But no reason not to be optimistic. Let's just get this season out of the way with a bit of pride and build a foundation to bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just get this season out of the way with a bit of pride and build a foundation to bounce back. Dont think we are missing Westwood at all, Wildsmith is doing just fine, 2 penalty saves, looks calm and collected a few good stops tonight and another clean sheet. He is the future in between the sticks. Never thought I would say this, but if we can get money for Westwood let’s do it. Dawson also looked assured on Tuesday. Other areas are of more concern.

Some steady performances from players that have been a bit lost this season. We could easily have won that game and did well considering the players available. THORNLEY was very good and look like an established championship player as was Fred. Consolidate and build for next season, very positive considering what we've seen this season. 7/10 from me. ........ and we were playing with a side 85% down on the first team regulars. Well done Wednesday, well done Jos. The future's bright, the futures blue and white (with a bit of orange) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We were stuck in a rut. Jos has got us up to a basic standard of competing which was much needed - because this club has been sat in a deckchair most of this season. It feels like the games have been thick and fast since Jos turned up and he’s doing well. I think if we had Hooper and Bannan on the pitch we might have won today.
