Morepork Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Spot on and honest assessment. Treatment of Fox is embarrassing, wrong and only serves to damage the team. Edited August 20, 2019 by Morepork 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep people happy because more than likely they will have to play some part. Especially with our injury luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Ideally you want to play winning football, slick, passing football and go and win two and three nothing, but you’re not always going to get that. These are the games that make the difference between the teams that become successful and those that don’t.This video will start in: 0:06 We’ve had a tough game here and we knew it was going to be difficult Fan expectation level is high and we’ve actually lost these games over the past couple of seasons, we’ve lost to Wigan, we’ve lost to Burton Albion, we’ve lost to Rotherham, where people think we should just go out and breeze the game. We had to earn the right tonight. I thought in the first half we were in and out of the game and never really got any rhythm to our play, Luton played well and caused us problems in the midfield area especially. We had one or two good spells in that first half but not what we really want as an overall impression. At half-time we tweaked our formation a little bit and it paid dividends. We got after the ball a lot more in the second half, the pressure was a lot higher, we could get closer to their players and we got our just desserts with the goal I felt. It was a fight tonight and it was a battle,partly because you’ve still got a bit of a hangover from the weekend. The second half was more like what we wanted. We stayed in the game in the second half and made the most of the opposrtunites we created in the second half. I can’t remember Keiren having to make a mistake in the second half so we were relatively comfortable, but all it takes is a slip up or a mistake and you can be punished. It was a very, very satisfying win without it being spectacular. When you’re not playing particularly well you dig out that 1-0 win or 2-1 victory or you dig a draw out when you’re behind and you get a point. That makes the difference 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos started all this freezing out business, which ultimately lead to 18 wasted months. Mattias for example couldn't get anywhere near the first team until Carlos was ready to walk. We've still got one of the biggest squads in the league and we've had a horrific injury record over the last two years. Why wait till February to call on a player who's had his nose rubbed in it since September that he's not good enough for the first team? Bullen wants to keep them involved. With our injury record we'll need them all at some point and we need them to be ready. I agree with what he's doing and how he's going about it.

Guest domSWFC Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 His comments regarding wanting the job seem more resigned tonight, maybe that is a indication something else is in the works, or he's been given a target to achieve to make it his.

It's only really the wingers where it's not clear who he'd pick if everyone is available and the central 3 is Lee, Bannan and Hutchinson, as then one of Reach or Murphy would be on the bench (as looks like Harris has his spot nailed down). Still quite a few quality players at this level who aren't in that 11. Iorfa, Luongo, FF, Rhodes to name a few. Good to have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsteel89 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) We've got a great squad this season and some real balance... Shame were willing to take a massive gamble on Lee Bullen for the sake he's been at the club a long time..no room for sentiment from me this is about bigger things than a guys career Edited August 21, 2019 by keepitsteel89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with LB though is you can see in interviews he has the chairman's ear, I cant count the number of times I've heard him say "I don't want to put words in the chairman's mouth" but we all know he will have told DC he wants it full time, I don't agree with that decision but fair enough that's his right to do so, but DC is so family orientated I honestly can't see us changing anything till we start losing and then we have to hope the change doesn't derail the season. I know we're top and I am happy honestly, just with a pinch of foreboding doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went up with what was then a record number of points losing just 6 league matches all season. Edited August 21, 2019 by Utah Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I think that psychologically, you can take as much away from winning a game like this as you can winning by a 2/3 goal margin. Any team that’s going to do well in this league has to grind out this kind of result, fact. Edited August 21, 2019 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one of those horror films where his reflection in the mirror starts arguing with him. There he is looking in the mirror having a shave talking to himself. "Good result that Lee, I'd have taken 9 from 12 if you'd asked me beforehand" Then his face in the mirror shaking his head back at him. "Lee,Lee, Lee, no son. have you forgotten Burton Albion" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
