Fixtures 25th March 2023

[BarraMatt]

Wimbledon forced to pick some kids and haven't won in 10? I've seen this all before.

 

[Boz]

Hemmings not fit enough to make the bench, though at least we do have a full one today, looks like Merrie the best at picking a pass deployed at the base of a midfield diamond. Don’t think things are going to pick up for Rovers today.

 

[Indian Dan]

Fucking hell. Another red card after 40 seconds. Pen saved though.

can’t make this shit up

 

[Ellis]

Penalty and a red card in 50 seconds against Swindon, followed by an absolute shocking penalty.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Penalty and a red card in 50 seconds against Swindon, followed by an absolute shocking penalty.

Then followed by a rubbish dive by their lad

 

[ForzaCounty]

Interesting stuff now, we couldn't break down massed ranks against Gillingham and Doncaster, but those were against eleven men. Here our switching play across the flanks should actually work due to the man advantage

 

[Ellis]

Very non league of Swindon to do the fake GK injury to have a teamtalk.

 

[hellogregory]

19 minutes in its looking like we’re having the same old problems as we do when we come up against decent teams up the top. Glaring lack of quality and no idea how to hurt a well organised team like Gillingham. Not looking good so far.

Well it's worth it for them since they've had most of the ball. Our man advantage is being wasted at the back

Yes we’re playing like a non league side. Not changed our game plan at all just hopeless early crosses like it has been all season really.

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

I don't understand why Doncaster are playing out from the back when Brown and Anderson are so noticably bad on the ball? Like so bad. Still. 1-0 so far (Mitchell mistake obvs). Bit nervy though.

 

[hellogregory]

Absolutely fucking shite. We’ve absolutely no chance of finishing in the top 3 playing like this and to be honest if teams below start winning I can see our top 7 place coming under threat.

The really worrying thing is we’ve created absolutely fuck all for 2 and a half games. Other than gibson’s long range shot at Bradford, the opposition goalkeepers could be using their 90 minutes to read a good book.

I’m convinced this season is the worst standard of league 2 in a while. No way would we be in this position any other season with such the little amount of quality we have.

 

[Son of Cod]

1-0 Town at half time. Very much on top until the goal which was a lovely low curler from the edge of the box from Morris who has been the best player on the park so far for me. Since the goal though Walsall have come back into and they look a threat from set pieces as you'd fully expect from a Flynn team. Need to regain control and finish this off.

Probably be pissed off with the ref if you're a Saddler, we're getting pretty much every decision and we shithoused them a bit at the end of the half there with Efete off the pitch receiving treatment. 43 mins has to be the earliest recorded instance of Crocombe cramp.

 

[Casey]

2-9 but Rochdale are actuaybetter than some of the sides I've seen this season. Good turnout from their fans too.

Mellor causing us problems but the bigger problem could be Gladwin limping at the half time whistle.

[EricSabin]

Thank god Donny have Mitchell in goal

 

[AdamStag]

bad times for rochdale

 

[BarraMatt]

Worst half of the season. Half arsed football, tempted to fuck it off and go home but I never leave games early.

 

[Conker]

Excellent shithousing from Sutton so far, in particular to their #4 who recklessly went through and elbowed Harbottle, who had to go off injured, he decided to be injured himself, physio placed a bandage on him to make it look legitimate then he instantly took it off once the game resumed.

Or he could have had a more treatable injury?

Since the Mansfield player went off injured, the ref is giving a lot of soft fouls Mansfield’s way. And Mansfield players are exploiting it.

Talking about bad challenges, the one that caused Ajiboye to be subbed just before halftime wasn’t too clever was it?

 

[Dale4ever]

Bye.

 

[Dale4ever]

Must win game. And our pathetic excuse for a team puts in a performance like this. Why am I not even surprised anymore? We won’t be back for a long long time.

 

[ForzaCounty]

2-9

Sounds like a Highland League game

 

[LordJord]

Wow another absolute shocker from Mitchell. I actually kind of feel sorry for him, hes just atrocious. Why Schofield wants people to play out from the back who do not have the ability is beyond me.

 

[saddler78]

2 teams with mid table written all over them here.

 

[Son of Cod]

2 teams with mid table written all over them here.

1-1 probably a fair result. Two teams with a fair amount of grit, but not too much quality in the final third.

 

[GTFCfish]

21 shots and only the one goal, please Hurst buy a fucking striker in the Summer ffs!

 

[Gunit]

0-0. Bit disappointing as we had to win really and Mansfield were very poor. Probably reflecting their missed players but comfortably the worst side we’ve played recently (decent Grimsby far better). Oates their sub only one with a bit of life. In the running for mid table cup still.

 

[BarraMatt]

Much improved second half, took the chances when they came.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

It’s Groundhog Day again at the vic.
Another result that looks good on paper but isn’t good enough for our situation with Crawley winning again.

 

[Gunit]

Head clash. Textbook Mansfield fan . Keep working on your football brand, whatever that is.
