We need to start banging in more goals, it's what's held us back last 5/6 games or so.

Aside from goalkeeper it's the most unforgiving position for mistakes. Hopefully Robins had just been smoking some really bad shit from Grendel's crackpipe when he submitted the team sheet

I think he’s one of those manager favourites they all have. I’d have started Maatsen today over him.

So do I. But Godden is a great option off the bench and reliable when called on.

Most people would have. Sheaf by far from the first time this season was wrongly taken off instead of another managerial favourite.

As I said above though, Godden said in his post-match interview that he loves playing up front on his own.

Without their gambling tycoon owners they'd still be in the lower leagues. One of if not the biggest financial piss takers in this league

Willis 1-0, the Hughes Out banner comes out with some pyro
Charlie Adam scores a penalty to equalise against a League 2 team, the away end goes mental and the banner disappears
Grimmer 2-1, refer to Willis 1-0

What a day

Really pleased we managed another late goal.

But
- we can’t keep picking poor starting lineups then having to waste subs fixing them
- players need to play in their preferred positions
- we have to stop conceding first
- we need to rediscover our high press and high intensity style
- O’Hare has to discover an end product and maybe that should be out of the team for a few games
- we’re still 2 wins in 11 and need to sort this form out and learn to win games

We’re our own worst enemy at times.

Often a late win draw feels like a win but we’ve just stopped ourselves from throwing three points away by throwing two points away instead.

You make some good points but i don't think we can play that high intensity game with O'Hare on the bench, agree with the rest particularly not conceding first

Another team that will come to waste time, if these teams weren’t all trying to take the piss wasting time we wouldn’t have time for the late goals. The six minutes today was well short we need a strong ref who adds the real time on and it will easily be double figures.

To many sideways and back passes today for me when we chase games we move the ball much quicker and it pays off .saying that we still should have scored before them

They should be closer to the relegation zone going on what their fans and what we've seen today.

Great to rescue the point, but 2 points dropped today.

Postives:

We got an away point against a team 4 points behind us.

We are still seventh.

We came from behind again and late on which shows great character.

We dominated the game and had some great passages of play.


We created loads of chances.

Their goal was a good one (although I thought our back three dropped too deep too soon, flat footed and unable to pressure the ball coming giving their striker too much space on edge of box) But a very smart finish.

NEGATIVE

We didnt take our chances.



Over all not a bad day at the office.

He might do but I don’t see him as being as effective up on his own. Away from home we’ll be playing one up more often and I think a confident Vik plays that role better. Goddens on fire though

I don’t mind sideways to create space if tempos right but we have a habit of playing the ball behind players who then have to slow down or check back

Lees went down on instructions from Carlos Corcoran! I watched him on TV gesticulate to Lees to go down and whilst he was down he was talking to the midfield players to come over and block Kane out the game, didn’t work though

It's the main reason I'd play Maatsen ahead of Dabo on the left. From an attacking perspective, Maatsen is able to whip it in on his left foot and attack the by line , whereas Dabo has to cut back more often than not.

Set up the Allen chance.
Won the free kick for Hyams first header.
He contributes plenty his finishing is just woeful.
Click to expand...
So his plentiful contribution today was playing a 5 yard pass and winning a free kick? When you are performing that well, who needs goals!

That was just a couple of examples.

But just to clarify, does a pass that creates a chance have to be over a certain distance now?
