So you say "come the end of December then Bowyer needs to go" yet you offer no potential candidate,what makes you think there will be the right man out there come the end of December but not now ?.
You say you'd have taken us in a different direction, were 7th in the league how would you have guaranteed we would be in a better position with you at the helm ?.
We went boring and negative we are in a play off position, yet Bowyer's a fake.......we know who the fake is mate.

 

Many teams who get promoted this season will go two games without a win.
You will also find that you described the Fa cup tie as Mickey Mouse. Check back from your last 280 ish posts in the last month. All negative from you.

 

I've highjacked this thread a bit there and people may feel awkward going back to more everyday chat!

So I'll get it back on course, I really hope we revert to 4 4 2. Also I flipping love Michael flynn and will be giving him a clap. He was a memorable player in a very unmemorable era!

 

Very well and lovingly put together Shell.

 

5 defenders and 2 defensive mids at home. Bore off Bowyer

 

Sorting the illegal parking out.

 

352. Henley and Wood wing backs. Mellor centre back. Cooke, Reeves, Taylor midfield. Surely?

 

Be proper Bowyer-eqsue though wouldn't it...

 

On a different note, hope there's a good round of applause for Flynny today before the match starts. Did his bit for us along the way and it would be good for him to get a bit of a cheer. Then a win for us hopefully!

 

Reeves and Cook are not, by any stretch of the imagination, defensive midfield players

I half get your point, but let's not too depressed before the game has started

 

This is utter gash to watch

 

by Christ that was shite both sides as bad as each other, on that 1st half performance neither side deserve to finish above mid table

 

Is it not now the rule of double jeopardy?
The keeper can no longer be sent off as well as a penalty given.

 

To be honest I didn't call him anything he was stood near us having a coke on his lonesome and you know me Al I'll talk to anyone , I just said who do you fancy Saturday night, and surprised me with his rely.
Just googled it your right it's a good job I didn't call him Danny, that's the Bradford singer, and it was only my first pint, embarrassing or what.

 

probably because they think they are special

 

Dave arranging dates for a Saturday night now? Does he have a catalogue to choose from?

 

I don't think it was so bad since we are not used to playing 5-3-2 and not every team will timewaste from the kick-off. It would have been 2-0 but for a great save onto the crossbar. It was not pretty to watch but we will get promoted if we can restrict every opposition team for the rest of the season to just one shot on target.

Wood's crosses were rendered ineffective by their big centre backs but not all defenders will be so big. Reeves excellent corners will also produce more goals against smaller sides and he played a few dangerous balls through between centre-backs for Oteh who might have got a goal on a better day. We've complained about the lack of such passes for a few years as forward after forward has underperformed for lack of service. I think this formation suited Oteh and he will get better if he starts shooting instead of taking too many touches.

Newport were a decent side that came to try kill the game, with some success. Excitement is rare against such teams. It was a deserved win and much better than playing well but conceding goals against the flow of play as we have seen often enough this season. If we want auto promotion we need more clean sheets. I don't see why so many are moaning when Newport fans will have had a pretty dismal journey home with few positives to take out of the game.

 

Ahh @Fordy the guy who has been telling us over months how crap Jake reeves was. Not worth keeping eh

 

I thought that yesterday's shape was 3-1-4-2 and was mighty effective in gettimg more of our available players into
the positions they consider their best positions.
I know from good authority that Callum Cooke believes he is a number 10 and although he loves playing at the club
he has been very frustrated at having to play the quarter back role .
Now Reeves is fit we can put Cooke back to an offensive,passing,creative role which does not require as much defensive work in the last third.
Reeves as the one in front of the back line was outstanding especially given how much he has missed.
Oteh as a wide second stiker had his best game at VP and contributed well to the offensive work.
Getting Paudie back into the team also suited our revised shape.
All round I was happy we got the 3 points but saw much progress in the team play.
By the way the crowd noise in the second half made a massive contibution to the team at a time when we got on top
of them and the goal came as a result of the increased noise. Every one can take a bow for that!!

 

He was a deep CM player that often covered the CB's and it allowed Cooke to move forward.

Thanks for clarifying that you haven't got a clue.
