League 2 fixtures 12/11/2022

[BarraMatt]

Decent, direct, goal for Crawley but you can se why Barrow are near the top. Strong, quick and direct.

Good game here.

Just watching Flashscore today and a browse of our forum, doesn't sound like we've been great from reports from those following closely.

 

[F!RTHY]

Cook’s 15th goal of the season and an absolute peach from Scott Banks puts us in a comfortable position.

Can see Sutton throwing a few bodies forward, but they’ll probably get caught by our counter.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Our keeper has just been done like a kipper and chucked away what was looking like a well earned point, the fucking clown.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Disgrace of an error when you’re fighting for every point you can get.

Look behind you for fuck sake

 

[RiftHouseLad]

Should be the first one out the door in January.
not even a schoolboy error

Embarrassment of a keeper, should've been scattered seasons ago, some fans will still find a way to blame it on Murray.

 

[BarraMatt]

Still yet to pick up a point from a losing position.

 

[F!RTHY]

Sutton commentary is laughable.

They were the better team first half and fairly even throughout the game, apparently. We didn’t even get out of 2nd gear - a slightly higher tempo’d training session through my eyes - but what do I know.

Anyway, win next week and we’re in the auto positions.

 

[GTFCfish]

3 league games in a row now where we’ve been absolute toilet.

Worrying.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Really tough one to take that. Killip you useless fucking cretin. Woeful.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Totally deserved win, bullied Grimsby something a Donny side hasn’t done to anyone for years

First half we were pretty comfortable in the game tbh. Zero threat coming our way until the goal. First goal all important. We had a bit of goal mouth action in a 5 min spell that didn’t go our way just before the first, your goal fell nicely. First goal vital for us. After the 2nd a stroll. We can’t force the pace really once behind against the better teams particularly. Bradford professional job, fouled when we got away. They’ll be up there.

Another clueless ref, standard is awful.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Sutton were awful, constant percentage balls and nothing else. Lewis didn’t have a save to make. Their only interest was to win set pieces, something they were clever at but little else.

 

[Brox]

Delighted with the win today but very harsh on Hartlepool who definitely deserved something from the game.

Hartlepool gave us a proper game, we struggled to create chances for long spells of the game and for the first 75 minutes, you'd have to say the best chances fell their way. When the opening goal did come it was a comically bad error by their goalkeeper. He has the ball in his hands and he doesn't realise Danny Rose is behind him, keeper rolls it out and Rose nips in, puts the keeper on his arse and then rolls the ball into the empty net. After that we actually had our best spell of the game and could have added a second through Reid, Piergianni or Sweeney who all went close.

We definitely missed Roberts today and too many players weren't quite at it but I think you have to credit Hartlepool who stopped us from playing for large spells of the game.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Today our biggest problem this season was thoroughly exposed; a lack of creativity. After Bradford went 2-0 up we created the square route of nothing.

We do have a significant injury list at the moment, and a lot of people will point towards the amount of defensive players missing however we’re really missing players like Beautyman and Smith, midfielders who created chances and took chances

 

[Casey]

Barrow ended up with their keeper in our penalty area....for about five minutes.

They had a goal disallowed, obviously correctly from my perfect view from the other end of the ground.

We ain't good but we're fighting and showing spirit. If we could join that with a couple of decent players we can climb out of danger.

Barrow went too direct in the second half played into our hands really as our best two players were our tall centre backs.

Gills were crap, comfortable win

Fair view of the game that, if one team deserved to win it would've been us. Criminal that we chucked one in, a point was the least we should've took and for long spells made you a look a poor outfit

Is it correct that Hoskins is suspended next week?

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Really tough one to take that. Killip you useless fucking cretin. Woeful.

I’m past being annoyed with Killip & the points he costs us,but today was something else.
A makeshift team like that limits Stevenage to very little,then he goes & does that,the fucking bellend.
I hope Curle absolutely blasts the stupid twat.

 

[hellogregory]

0-0

Classic 0-0 between two teams who have enough to stay away from the bottom part of the league, but both lacking that quality in the final third that will take them into the promotion/playoff mix.

Fair result, hardly any chances. plenty of effort but a big lack of quality from both sides.

 

[BarraMatt]

Killip could've waited a week before getting that out of his system.

 

[Salvador]

Thought the first 10-15 we looked fairly lively. But as the game went on we just got overran in midfield. A very frustrating game after Stags took the lead. We seemed to slow down and opt to piss around passing along the back over and over rather than having any meaningful runs up field. We looked like the side defending a lead.
Ah well. Didnt think we'd get owt today. Thankfully most of the other cloggers down here lost as well.

A bit of praise for Mansfield's following today. Not usually one to give a crap about this sort of stuff but they were great. Really loud all game and about 1100 of em. If this was twitter I guess I'd have to say "fair play " with a little clap hands emoji.
Guessing there's some feel good down at Field Mill as I don't remember them bringing more than a couple of coach loads of silent OAPs in the past.

Yeah got his 5th booking today

Obviously keeper is going to take the blame but there was time there for someone from the bench to tell him where Rose was or for a teammate to notice.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Well we’re starting to put a nice run together after picking up another three points today.

Five points off the playoff spots and 15 off relegation so quite the turnaround from a month or so ago.

Annoyingly got Leyton Orient next week but then we’ve got a favourable looking December so the opportunity to be in the mix by the new year is there ahead of hopefully a few additions.

There's also time for the muppet to look over his shoulder before chucking the ball down.

Nice to grab three points after being behind given how often we did the opposite earlier in the season

I don't see it as annoying we have Orient next week.

Get at them at our place, we'll get something IMO. A draw would keep things rolling but a win would turn us into mid tablers to realistic play-off mixers. A loss would be a slight setback but with four more favourable fixtures after that to take us into playing everyone twice and the halfway mark, we'll be no worse than mid table come Boxing Day evening and I reckon we'll do better second half of the season. We'll strengthen in January IMO. Clearing the decks with Kitching, Newby, Jennings etc is teeing it up.
