airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Well done today. Three points and the kind of response we need if we are to remain on track throughout what will be a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five games so far against top opposition and we’ve taken 10 points. Yes, of course. This isn't a situation in which I want us to lose every week to prove that I'm right. I believe that Moore will win a lot of games this season; the question is, however, will he win enough - against all different sorts of opponents - to finish in the top two league positions? We've had a difficult start, in the sense that we've played against teams expected to be challenging, but paradoxically those teams aren't our problem. It's the teams who are expected to struggle, those who sh*thouse and stop us playing, which cause us the most trouble. Can Moore find a way past them? He'll need to if we're to gain automatic promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we put FGR to bed on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get the defensive side of the game right, then we have a good chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah soon as I saw we had a man sent off I accepted it was likely gonna result in a loss especially that early in a game. You’d like to think we’ll get a settled back 3 now and hopefully go on a decent run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying but Wigan did fine with 10 men for 80 mins today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Since the opening fixture we’ve played 390 minutes of 11 v 11 and haven’t conceded. It was only in the 60 minutes with 10 men we conceded. I think some fans are overstating our defensive issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but those results after a man sending off are few and far between. Much more likely to lose. Don’t agree with the way we went tactics wise after the sending off but odds were stacked against us.

The vast majority of teams that go down to ten men in the first half will end up losing. I think we ballsed up with the Byers sub on Tuesday, but it's more than likely we'd have still lost that game.

DM ?...I like the bloke, and when it comes off its decent football, odd parts?...I don't get, sure that might be me, but I'm never insulting, never call for his head, I simply say what I think, as do others...Its what a football forums all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna guess your jesting but we have superstar athletes that’s can maintain fitness levels and win stuff while eating vegan. I ain’t no vegan either. I love my meat way to much for that.
