Watched season review a few months back and there were some poor results and some poor runs along the way. Even the final itself wasnt straightforward! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 We need to prepare for games much better, we have to be on form every game if we want a sniff of promotion.Furthermore DM needs to be quicker in changing things, when things are clearly not working. He was too late on Saturday and game was over by the time he changed things. Its going to be a long season and will be even longer if we don't show the right attitude.

WestBerksOwl Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Part of the reason for the huge disappointment is that many of us had raised our expectations. We watched them beat a bunch of kids from Newcastle that made us look like Barca. Saturday's performance was a kick in the nuts for both the team and the fans, bringing everyone back to reality. Hopefully performances will improve and expectations adjusted. Onwards and upwards . UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want us to have to go through the play offs & play off finals like WW did.. We shouldnt be struggling and getting beaten like we have in the last 2 games,& i like others have simply Q DM tactics... To be fair the morecambe loss can be chalked of as just one of those games where you could play till Christmas and it just won't go In. We were the better side battered them at times and created plenty of chances to win it. The Plymouth one is the problem, we were awful couldn't defend didn't create hardly anything, looked lethargic and devoid of any endeavor going forward until late on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Derby owl Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 2 hours ago, TbagMcgraw said: DM said the same thing 'we're sorry we didn't get the 3 points', but the fans who travelled there would have accepted zero points, as long as the players put a shift in and showed some fight...they didn't! It's beginning to sound like last season! We want the players to give 110%. Last season, 3rd at Christmas, 6 point deduction..relegated! This season top of the league, lose two games (6 points lost)..mid table, whats coming next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the season I remember thinking that was our most important result of the season as it was a bit of a wake up call to the players and our results and performances picked up after the match. I’m hoping Saturday was our “Stevenage moment”. Isn’t it a sad indictment of the level the club is now at that the words “Stevenage moment “ even mean something... jeez... oh for the days of an Old Trafford debacle!! Or an Anfield capitulation!! Mind you we could have an Accrington Annihilation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Why is the young kid on loan the one doing post match interviews? Where are the senior players stepping up? Or did they only do that when things are going well? Edited September 13, 2021 by SiJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes we don't perform and might lose a game And when we lose a game in that manner than an apology usually comes And an apology is usually demanded by our fans Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a couple of weeks and people will be calling for a clear out. Unlike the recent Morcombe game where we played well but narrowly lost.. So no.. you can't guarantee that everytime we lose the players get the blame. I'm surprised you don't remember that nobody blamed the players. It was very recent.

This may have been true immediately after the morecambe game. But since the Plymouth result lots of people have been criticising the players for both defeats. It's a kind of wierd revisionist approach to add more weight to their general negativity I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
