Any performance by your own team should always be tempered by the level of opposition performance. Blackburn and Reading playing as they did would have still beaten us last night. 2. We only looked really threatening after Fletcher came on. Why does that change other players performance levels? 3. Fully hope we kick on from the win, but by and large it was turgid. the first half was terrible. the second half was much better but not great. neither half showed me anything other than the players were able to show a bit of bottle that was encouraging. the performance was of a team capable of stopping the descent through the table but not improving on it.

Depends if you count Taylor’s shot hitting the crossbar as a chance - 4 inches lower and we are 1-0 down. Block from Lees (also Taylor I think) certainly saved us, but then again I suppose that’s his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once after holding off two defenders, He needs somebody to tell him you are allowed to run. Getting mixed up with this walking football stuff that’s all the rage at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) After the crap we’ve had to endure since Christmas I’m still feeling really happy with the 3 points we got against Charlton. Really missed that winning feeling. We can’t excuse the shocking performances from the players this year though (I still hope Monk lets most of the out of contract ones leave) but Wednesday night was more like it.

Think most people would agree that 1 good performance against an average side at best doesn't make us a play off side. But most were just glad to see us deservedly win the game and put in a shift which is far better than the other home performances recently.

We had one up front in those games we lost...Sheer timidity, no game plan, no structure and got what you will get if you make yourselves slightly more poo than the other poo team. Charlton the other night however, we attacked, we had 2 up front, and then brought on one player who knows what to do when up front...that = less poo...and we beat the more poo team quite easily...

You are probably right - I was delighted to see the improvement and resulting 3 points. Where I think we get too easily carried away is describing that performance as very good. Maybe it’s me who is being too ‘Victor Meldrew’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the first 15 minutes we dominated a side unbeaten in five. We’ve lost and drawn abjectly against poorer sides this season. For me we turned a corner last night. I said on the way home after the game, it felt as though when the goal went in something changed. Everyone crowd, players, management were all as one celebrating. We haven't had that for a while. I think (hope) that winning as we did in the last minute has changed the whole mind set off the club and galvanised everyone. Hopefully a watershed moment. Cue a horrible defeat tomorrow.

meggoisgod Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This squad is simply spineless, useless, gutless and broadly clueless. The manager has zero presence, the backroom staff are serial failures and the chairman hasnt a clue Until bannan, Lees, hutch, westwood and bullen leave we will not move forward...losers all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
