Saturday 5th February: League & FA Cup

[kieran_vale]

A long way to go today but the scores so far are not being kind to us.

Going to put a lot of onus on us at Carlisle in midweek.

 

[BarraMatt]

1-0 Rovers. Difficult to see us coming from behind.

 

[Conker]

Love Gary Neville saying that they’ll pay for the team coach for the replay as if it’s some lovely gesture when that’s what the league rules say you have to do!

Fair play on the paying for the supporters coach for the rearranged game though.

He Probably didn’t know that to be honest, he’s also offered to refund tickets if they cannot make the rearranges and I’m sure that’s not a league rule.

 

[Stripes]

Wow, What a run from Wilson. Easy tap-in for Stevens

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Wow, What a run from Wilson. Easy tap-in for Stevens

Sounds tight, delighted we got the first one.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Two well matched sides. 0-0 about right so far.

 

[Indian Dan]

Yeah. Enjoyable half. Could go either way.

Don’t think there was a foul worthy of the name all half.

Good stuff

 

[Cas]

Derek Adams in his post match interview blaming the fans for where we are in the league. Cheerio. Find it weird how he refers to the club as they and not we.

 

[Stripes]

The game opened-up in the end, we may rue the missed Aitchison chance just before the brake. But we found our form, that bodes well.

 

[LS Bantam]

The writings on the wall for Adams, too many against him now and he doesn’t ever help himself with what he says, too often a WUM as I don’t think anyone could be deluded enough to believe what he comes out with. Another game today where we’re comfortable, don’t score, concede a soft one and the heads go - no fight, no belief in the tactics, think we changed shape after every sub today and each one was somehow worse than the last. Honestly have no idea where the next win is coming from.

 

[kieran_vale]

Barrow now level which is a pleasant surprise. Crawley have to give them credit they're going really well at the moment.

Got to think Walsall might start looking over their shoulders a little if the deadlock gets broken at Scunny.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Vital second, we've been really on it this half but still a tight game.

 

[Stripes]

Wilson - Stevens combo again.

 

[hellogregory]

Watched about 10 minutes of Barrow v Tranmere and I hate to say it but Barrow are miles ahead of us in terms of performance level and quality.

Now just put Scunthorpe v Oldham on and Oldham have just been denied what looked like a nailed on penalty. Oldham seem to have players capable of beating a man, which helps. Scunthorpe seem to have some pace in the final third but have been wasteful, Nuttall wasted an absolutely glorious chance. I don’t think we could keep up with the pace of this game which is a worrying thought.

 

[hellogregory]

If Adams gets the boot at Bradford i’d be seriously tempted to cut our losses with Millen and get him in to try and save our league status.

I know Bradford fans think he’s shite but id be more confident in our chances of staying up with Adams in charge than continuing to watch Millen make the same mistakes and pick the same consistently underperforming players every week.

 

[Cas]

continuing to watch Millen make the same mistakes and pick the same consistently underperforming players every week.

So exactly like what Adams is doing here then? I wouldn't wish Adams on anyone.

 

[leedsvaliant]

To be honest, Adams signings did look bang average on paper and the signings of the always injured Angol and the terrible Robinson smacked of panic last minute buys that were never going to work. It appears that very little research or thought has been put into a style of play or signing players to fit a certain system.

 

[kieran_vale]

With how it's going today and the fact they've played more than the others down there think Scunny surely have to go for it now and risk losing to win it. Draw is no good to them, it's not much better for Oldham but they still have some games in hand at least.

 

[kieran_vale]

1-0 Oldham, that is huge.

And an equaliser for Exeter on a happy note for Vale.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Our commentators keep apologising because you can hear the Port fans swearing in frustration pretty clearly on the feed Adams just with a sublime tackle prompted latest burst.

 

[Bottega Don]

There goes our football league status

 

[hellogregory]

So exactly like what Adams is doing here then? I wouldn't wish Adams on anyone.

I highly doubt your under performing players have been as consistently bad as ours. Some of ours can’t even control a football, they try but they just can’t. I’m not even kidding.

 

[leedsvaliant]

The difficulty Scunthorpe have is that the little lad they played up front last week was like a pub player. Nowhere near enough presence. I could have marked him out of the game. Some of their approach play was pretty good.

 

[kieran_vale]

Exeter now swung their game round. You were meant to play out the draw ffs.

Rovers level at Sutton, that's not too bad for us.

 

[Bottega Don]

This club is dead and there's only one man to blame

 

[hellogregory]

This is a bad result for us. Was preying for a stalemate. Oldham now breathing down our neck with a game in hand and to be honest look like they’ve got way more in their squad than us.

I think it’s going to be us and Scunthorpe, although I do still expect Scunthorpe to string some results together at some stage.

 

[Trapdoor]

LMFAO


Well played Swindon... Faking injuries at 70 minutes... XD

 

[Kauto Star]

Derek Adams in his post match interview blaming the fans for where we are in the league. Cheerio. Find it weird how he refers to the club as they and not we.

The man is a deluded, arrogant lunatic who should never set foot in Valley Parade ever again after that interview.

I cannot believe he said it would be stupid and immature to sack him He was clearly taunting Sparks and daring him to sack him.

I have never hated a City manager in all the decades of watching us as this horrible man

Shut the fuck up

Never had anything against Carlisle but I am desperate to drag you down with us now solely because of you

 

[kieran_vale]

Feel for Scunny as it does look a pretty hopeless situation for them now. Unfortunately there's just little in the way of quality in the final third for them. The only hope can really give them is they do have a good manager who is dealing with a complete shit sandwich.

I really think Walsall are in some trouble unless they can somehow get Rodders fit and returning to the form he had last season. It's a big ask though.
