Fleetwood are a good side lets be honest. They are 4th. They have had some great results. However we played Bolton recently, another good side and nearly won. Again we have lost to a very late goal and a set play. Today from all accounts Slade picked an odd side very unbalanced, and seemingly to make sure we did not lose. At home we have to go for the points, no two ways about it. I thought Slade was a breath of fresh air coming in with honest opinion and he improved us but almost immediately we were just as bad again (last week and today). His signings look average and we still need that illusive striker. Now Bevan is likely out injured.
A game in hand we might have but my optimism is being tested by the way Slade has set up his teams the last two games after having time all week to work with them.
very disappointing and a win next game an absolute requirement. Still like Slades optimism and plenty of points to play for as he says but while he set up to avoid defeat he really should have set up to try and win.
