Match Day Mega Thread

Said in another thread that I would’ve taken it before the game but those 3 missed sitters have cost us the win. Can’t be missing chances like that.

I remember a couple of months ago there was the idea raised that we don’t play well/pick up points against teams in the top half well I’d like to think that claim has been shut down a little bit with recent results.

I still think it’ll be playoffs for us but if we can get our home form to the level of the away form, we could well be in with a chance.

 

Fair assumption that pal

 

Exceptionally harsh. I agree he’s been hesitant at times - with both ball in the air and with it at his feet - but that cross today was both a bit far in front of him as it passed, and too deep past the back post for him to come for it. I don’t hold him too accountable there at all. I don’t think many keepers come for that.

Cotter, though, watched it all the way from the lad who crossed its boot - and should have at least made a reasonable aerial challenge. He’s not exactly short in height. Not only did he not get off the ground to challenge, he actually f.ucking ducked. Unacceptably poor.

Absolutely shocking defending to allow him such an easy header but we can’t be surprised.

Neither he nor O’Keeffe are up to the task. Get JW to wingback and play whoever is available at centre back, be it McCart with Mael moving to the right or Pines in to the side on the right.

 

Ok then 2 points....

 

We did miss some chances but then so did they and Roberts made a cracking save in the end. Easily could have won, Easily could have lost

 

This is probably a first for me.

Although I've not been his biggest fan. Due to errors in quite a few games.
I thought De Gevigney had his best game for us today. MOM For me. In fact 10/10. Well played young man I salute you.

Earl fitted in great and had a debut to be proud of. 9/10

Cole not just a great set piece goal but was magnificent throughout. 9.5/10

Robert's 9/10 all round game was excellent. What a save as well 2nd half.

Midfield trio and Cadden 8 each.

I think William's and Cotter have a better understanding. (Than Williams and o'keeffe) would have been a 7 each but for their goal so a 6 each.
McAtee looked jaded 5

Best full 90 minutes performance this season. Doing to Bolton what some other clubs have done to us this season.
Chased and Harried and backed each other up. More of that please.

They all did us proud. Bolton had a lucky escape in not losing. I just hope this is more of what's to come.

 

Thought MDG did exceptional after getting a yellow in the first 5 minutes. Could have made him overly cautious, or ended up in a red or having to be subbed early, but none of that transpired. Confident and capable under pressure.

 

Not giving ground to Bolton is a major achievement in my eyes.
