Don't know, didn't someone put it on here? I don't use them myself

shmmeee - if they don’t match it’s clearly horseshit

There's those incredible comprehension skills again.

Seriously can you actually read?

I’m not sure

In PVA speak does “Allen has zero technique” translate into “Allen is one of the best goal scorers in midfield this season we’ve had for years”?

He's a modern day Julian Darby!

 

[PVA]

I’m not sure

Can you point out the post where shmmeee said Allen made 0 passes, rendering stats useless?

Thanks.

 

[Grendel]

Careful mate, not allowed to call him anonymous. You'll have the Allen Defence Force on you soon.

You see again it’s confusing as my interpretation of this is you in - I have to say typical Starmer style - read the room and felt safe to join in the anticipated and hoped for witch hunt in the second half and a minute into it you fell on your arse

I'll take that as a no, you can't, because you struggle to read.

Thanks for confirming, enjoy your evening

All to play for, especially when you have the best centre forward in this league.

Good win. Our passing got way better 2nd half and started to cut through them. Rode our luck 1st half but we still looked dangerous when countering. Eccles impressed as did McInally

 

[Johhny Blue]

Biggest thanks probably has to go to Stroud for disallowing that early goal when we just switched off. Very pleasing to win despite not being at our best but will need to be at 100% against Sunderland

It’s easy to make fun of Stroud but it was a ballsy ( correct) call. Most refs either miss that or ignore it. Things like this go on for almost every corner/free kick/long throw.

Its great that Eccles is getting minutes in his preferred position.

 

[Ooh Ah]

We are, but I just can't see us doing it.
We've got a run of 2 games a week coming up and Robins only has 13 players fit who he seems to trust so they're going to have to stay fit and pit in a lot of minutes.
I don't think its sustainable.

Rarely post and think we will fall short, BUT there is hope.... Jan window has changed our defence, with the signing of McNally alongside a fit Fadz means it is now solid, compared to say the Wrexham game. Two new wingbacks mean we can change a game from the bench. Add in our cover/additions in 2 weeks of Panzo/Rose, Kelly/Sheaf, Dabo/JWE, Walker/Godden alongside today's starting 11, all of whom Robins trusts to a level, and I think we will compete every game unless really unlucky with injuries. remote possibility/hope McGuire could offer something different, as we so miss O'Hare. But if we lose either of Fadz and Gyo, any replacement for either is a big drop off, so that's the risk.

 

[Blind-Faith]

About to leave to get the bus up there, come on you sky blue boys! 2-0 victory with big Vik tearing them a new one

Should of stuck a fiver on!

 

[skyblu3sk]

It isn't. We were doing shit, and some people can't handle it when that happens, going into denial mode.

We win a couple of games and those same saps come running out to tell everyone how much better supporters they are at the very first opportunity, as can be seen here. It's boring, predicatable, and childish.

Unlike flip flopping your view on the team after every match? Yeah super childish...

 

[shmmeee]

According to the stats,none in the first half, even though we all clearly seen at least one.
I'm starting to thing the people that compile them might not be that thorough!

I posted it it was 8

If you take out Hamer and Palmer Allen is indeed one of our best scoring midfielders.

 

[clint van damme]

Yeah, I got it wrong, it was Stu who posted a site that said he had no defensive actions, which wasn't true.
But the site he referenced said he was on 10 passes so there's some disparity.

Yeah Whoscored said no defensive actions too at half time. I didn’t watch the game so no idea if true. It’s been a trend for a while though that he has little impact on games either defensively or attacking.

Well if you look at where the tackle was made I think its possible to understand why it wasn't classed as defensive but that's where stats can be limited in what they tell us.

But from the tackle to the run which included shrugging off an attempt at hacking him down to the pass he advanced us 30 yards.

Not that his overall first half contribution was great, but that went for most the team.

We've won the game. Go and have a beer and enjoy it.

 

[David O'Day]

Enjoyed that

Also I do like the Jamie Allen arguments, he's not great and not shit. He's a decent enough midfielder who does give us legs in the middle

Solid performance today. What a difference Mc Fadz makes at the back. Without him every throw in, corner, free kick around the box I was genuinely worried we'd concede. Mc Nally in there as well has been great so far and it seems to have given Doyle more confidence to get back on the ball and play out a bit more. Eccles starting to become more prominent in that midfield role also which is great. Norton cuffy coming into his own as well.

 

[CITY’S 45 🇯🇲]

Thought the atmosphere today was class from start to finish. First half was sloppy but they was always going to come at us having the home advantage. Favourite part of the game was the Kasey palmer song of course

 

[Hobo]

Cracking result today.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Watched their disallowed goal again a few times and hard to see what the ref gave it for, Wilson not really impeded was he?

The ref needed to keep up our clean sheet on his watch run

Fantastic result. One of those games where you have to find a way to win ugly.

Keith Stroud must be the best referee we've ever had! Can we have him every away game?

 

[skyblu3sk]

I absolutely am. Really pleased. I still think we are more a mid table team than a play off team but always the potential to fluke it!

Foul on Bidwell I think.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Thought the first half was pretty dire but we did enough vs a poor side. I really.hope we can get McNally in the summer, the defence has improved dramatically with him and McFadzean coming in.

Anyone know what the home fans were going mental about in the 2nd half? Some bloke in a bobble hat got kicked out and there 6 or 7 of them going apeshit about someone in the city end for absolutely ages

It would be interesting to hear from the man himself

I didn't see anything in the replay didn't really think anyone appealed for it either...

 

[wingy]

I reckon Vik was coasting today.
Not bursting a gut.

 

[OldBedrocker]

Is that not the done thing, or have I completely made that up?

Pretty sure Fadz came over to the touchline and gave him the armband before he came on against Millwall
