So torn over that result.

Well played Slops.

 

[codaplenty]

Tremendous win by you Shrewsbury lads, best of luck in getting out of the brown stuff

Gareth Ainsworth's Barmy Army! As i said before, not there but I'm guessing the 11 minutes of added time is a sign of things to come

yup! fuck all possession, shitloads of timewasting (I'm guessing), but more importantly, never-say-die attitude and turning over teams you have no right to on paper.

Welcome to Gazball.

Someone else needs to be looking nervously over their shoulder about dropping into the bottom four now...

 

[denzel ecfc]

All over already.

Take them all off for Tuesday

2-1 up at Sincil Bank on a soggy, windy day.

Plenty of life left in this game yet though, LCFC have been a tough nut to crack, very physical, keep it tight at the back and hit us on the counter, good mix of passing football and hoofs when they need to, I think it's the right mix at this level.

Every time we attack they seem to have two players on whichever of our frontmen is in possession...which is good defending but I think is probably knackering in terms of chasing, so the substitutions are going to be key in the second half for both sides.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

This match is 100% living up to it's billing so far.

 

[E10rifle]

Atrocious game at Stevenage, but what else is new? Inclement weather, granted, but two absolutely clueless, unambitious sides on display. Happe and Piergianni being the two best players on the pitch says it all.

Barry is ridiculous. No chance we’re keeping him in January at this rate

If they didn't want his development to go how it is, they'd never have loaned him to you again but sent him to the Championship. You've got him until summer, enjoy it!

As for us, probably could have got three points but there's only so excited you can get about being the bald amongst baldies who has the comb!

Shayne Lavery looks like a Irish Shaquiri and I can't unsee it.

 

[Master D]

Standard home win. Going to have to be some team that can beat us here this season.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Give it a few weeks and Brandon N'Bumyou will bum you, while we all touch ourselves about how nice it is to see Big Paul Mullin Stand play in person.

 

[thewwfc]

Good game for the neutral in the end, Lincoln giving it everything till the end, they fucked up some great chances to score and so did we (missed pen and point-blank blaze into Row Z).

I'd imagine they'll still be in at least the playoff mix come the end of the season.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

A frustrating game that, one we didn't deserve to lose. Great pressure to the end.

I thought Wycombe started the stronger, but from minute 5 - 35 we were in control, with chances to go 2-0 up, a great assist from House and goal from Darikwa.
We managed Wycombes clear threat welll. A mad 5 minutes before the break saw Wycombe come from behind. Impressed with their number 3.

It was all us for first 20 minutes of 2nd half, we had to equalise In that period and should have done. Duffy hitting thecrossbars, other chances come and go.

Wycome seemed to get a bit more of a foot on the game just before their pen. We didn't recover from the missed pen well with Wycombe extending their lead.

A load of subs were made which opened us up at the back, but allowed us to get back into it. We did look very suspect to concede on the break at this point.

I thought Wycombe were good, streetwise, but had 3 stocky pacey forwards who caused issues. Expected a few more in the away end considering league position.

Don't normally moan about refs but this one had zero control. Time wasting very prevalent and we just allowed it, baffling display.

 

[Master D]

Surely that Carl Davies over at Birmingham is on borrowed time now.

 

[EnglishRed]

Decent performance from us without ever having to really push ourselves too much. Credit to Agricultural Dinosaurs Parkinson for freshening up the team and tactics which Exeter struggled to deal with. Mansfield fans will be pleased to see Brunt getting his first league start and playing well.

If we do stick in around the play offs our hoke performances will be the thing that does it.

 

[EnglishRed]

Stupid forum

 

[thewwfc]

Expected a few more in the away end considering league position.

we don't travel that well in terms of numbers to be honest, my guess was we'd bring 400 to a game like this (bit of a bitch to get to) and - yup, 484.

It is what it is - I can't criticise as I don't go to many away games.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

It's not quite Histon with zero fans at the Racecourse, TBF.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Was dubious about the team selection but Paeky nailed it. Clinical performance.
Another assist for Barney. Matty James looked very good, Rathbone starting to look a player.

Exeter pass the ball well, Plenty of runners but zero upfront.

 

[EricSabin]

Miserable at Sixfields, and the weather was dreadful too. Cambridge probably had the best chance but chances were limited for both teams really. We looked so much better with Fosu, Waghorn and Eaves coming on as we manage them back from injury. Ref and near side lino were utterly inept as well, spent the whole game guessing.

Point gained for both? Time will tell

Yeah I hear you, just considering your ridiculous start, I expected a few more, 600-700 maybe.

 

[thewwfc]

Rotherham though - wtf? Evans can't hold on much longer if they keep that up, especially if a new manager could get the January window to bring in reinforcements.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Don't think the ref got much wrong, apart from that missed corner for us, but they hardly exuded confidence. Right through fortune rather than skill.

Anyway, yeah, that was a terrible game of football in terrible conditions. The slight opposite of last week where a point felt a little better by the end, but no complaints.

 

[The Terminator]

One of the worst games of the season between us and the Steves, they probably edged the chances (they had 1 decent one) but the weather made for a poor game and both teams were content with a draw. We switched to a back 3 for the final 30mins coming up against the wind.

Very little to report this week!

 

[folletto]

Didn’t watch any of the game but sounds pretty bog standard for us this season. Concede first as always and go up against it from then on. No surprise we conceded from a corner again. We spring into life towards the end of the game but it’s usually too late as it was again today. Yet again a serious lack of creativity and threat, finishing a game with Danny Hylton and a struggling Ahadme up front is not good enough for a team that wants to be at the higher end of the table.

If we don’t win on Tuesday against bottom of the league Burton then serious questions need to be asked of Jones. Currently 4 points off the drop zone.

Yep, we are toothless. Surprised we conceded three from headers though, we've been quite good up to now.
Think we missed Woods today but no excuse and we'll beaten. For once I'm glad I couldn't get a ticket, some of the lads who went on the train got there late as they had to get a replacement from Gobowen and I've also heard the train back was cancelled..

sounds about right, transport for wales are a complete joke, even if on this occasion they are less to blame.

It was a routine win for us and a very good performance.

Brunt is a top player.

Exeter were overall I’d say disappointing, but great support. There’s no way we’d take 1200 all the way there.

 

[Conker]

Copy and paste Wrexham in some aspect, utterly toothless in the final third despite controlling a lot of the game. Bristol Rovers were as bad as we’ve been told by their own fans but they did manage to score a well worked goal and if we were still playing now it’d be a clean sheet for them, they managed one bit of quality in a otherwise poor performance so ultimately you have to say well done to them despite the fact it felt like a game nobody deserved to win.

Left the ground feeling embarrassed to be honest, our worst result of the season. Desperately missed Gregory, Akins and Evans upfront were simply awful, embarrassingly bad.

Yeah I think we were wanting another 10 minutes as we finally clicked into gear

 

[Hudders]

Won the game with a VERY average performance, like most of our wins and that seems enough in this league. You could not tell Charlton had a man less for a decent chunk of that. Good away numbers on a very wet day.
