Tuesday 23rd November

[TractorBoys]

Particularly poor tonight. Autos seemingly gone.

Playoff now the reaslistic target but even for those I imageine we need to beat Crewe and then maximise the PackoutPR campaign over the Christmas period. (25,500 Tickets sold for Sunderland on the 18th of December with tickets taken off sale temporarily).

Plymouth bubble burst? Expect them to tank outside the top 6 now.

 

[Tea Towel]

Great win for us that, 2 late goals but nobody could argue we didn’t deserve it. Chuffed for Josh Windass getting a goal and an assist in his first game back, Luongo was outstanding again when he came on too.

Isn’t it amazing what getting a couple of players back and round pegs in round holes can do? Wycombe should be a good one on Saturday.

We're playing well - but I definitely won't count any chickens.

Well we dont have a team mate haha. Dapo suspended now too. Isgrove injured. 14 first teamers down to 12 then for the weekend. When it rains… it pours!

 

[K-Win]

Didn't see it, but by the stats and the commentary it sounded like a convincing win at Lincoln tonight.

We are now officially on a Marcus Harness-powered run. Let's see how far we can take it. Nice to be five points clear of Cookie's bunch also

No. I don't believe that for a second. They're a good side, and were unlucky not to score on several occasions tonight. It's just that we got the rub of the green(s) and they didn't.

In the same way that I don't think you beating us 4-1 at ours was necessarily an accurate reflection of the run of play (it was a fair result, I'm not complaining, it's just that I don't think it tells the story of the game), I think anyone who sees our scoreline tonight will think we pissed on PAFC, and we really didn't for a lot of the game.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Times up now for me Mr Cook. he had 5 vital games against top teams to catch them and only took 4 points.

He can’t work out how to make substitutions to change games IMO

His overall record isn’t good enough for what he’s been given and he’s had plenty of time to sort it.

 

[SMH]

Two points dropped. Having said that, when you're two goals down away from home with ten minutes left against anyone in the league you take the point and respect it. Just a shame we left it five/ten minutes too late or we'd have gone on and won like we did at Fleetwood.

Big game Saturday now!

Think it is time to recall a few loans even to put them on the bench
Even Crawford if it is possible.

Can always send him back come January

 

[PuB]

Lost 2-0 to Cheltenham for about the 6th time this month, we’re deep in the shit.

 

[Thefutureswhite]

I never thought I'd see a worse team than Crewe this season, but just have, how shit are Doncaster?

 

[Agombar stool]

Wow, that’s probably the worst we’ve played for a while. Credit to Sheffield Wednesday, probably the second best team I’ve seen this season after Rotherham.
Why we tried to defend for 50 minutes after we scored I’ll never know, and changing the defence around at 1-0 up? Baffling

Saw Twine's goal, how much are you guys paying us for him, hope we at least have a sell on!

Two points dropped? You were 2-0 down with ten to go. That’s a point gained.

You are a very good side but we know how to play against teams who have a lot of the ball and really should have seen the game out.

We're going for automatic promotion and playing a bottom half side, it's two points dropped. We should never have been in the position where we needed to do a Fleetwood due to your excellent keeper in the first half.

 

[codaplenty]

A 5th successive defeat, but on the bright side we have not dropped further down the table Be interested to hear from any Yellow's fans who went to the game. It's going to be a long season but I am as optimistic as ever !

It’s all well and good going for automatics but that doesn’t give you the right to go into games thinking it’s two points dropped. What an odd way to look at it. You had a lot of the ball but you were poor in the final third. Our keeper made a couple of good saves but apart from that it was just balls into the box which we defended easy. You gained a point whether you are Wigan who are going for automatics or Wigan going down.

 

[Bartonyellow]

4-0 against Accy. Needed that after 3 toothless performances whereby fans starting to question hasslebanks tactics.
Ruthless tonight. Should have been 5-0 or more in honesty.
Doncaster Saturday at home which we need to win to show we are not a flash in the pan.

Absolutely. Same as every game this season, we huff and puff but have no one up front to finish the chances off. I dont think we tested your keeper. How we ended the game is currently our strongest attacking line up!

Our next 4 are Accrington, Crewe, Cheltenham and Donny. Big games!

Got to be honest, I'll actually be pretty pissed off if we sack him before Jan. I don't want a change just yet and I'm confident his job isn't under any threat.

Only one of two games i want to win this season Doncaster home and Doncaster Away
I want them relegated but i dont want the bastards to go out of business like they wanted us too

 

[Robie]

Boring boring Oxford.

 

[Laker]

Feels more like two points dropped than one gained tbh tonight. Don’t get me wrong, Wigan had more of the play and more chances but you’ve got to be winning games like that when you’re two up with six minutes to go.

Anyway, can’t fault the team with the exception of the tired defending for both goals and the ridiculous challenge by Knibbs for the free kick. The side worked it’s socks off, scored two very well worked goals and generally held Wigan at arms length for most of the game.

I’d have taken a draw beforehand and in the light of day tomorrow I’ll probably see it as a good point.

You gained a point whether you are Wigan who are going for automatics or Wigan going down.

It's called having a winners mentality. Did you see us celebrating when we got that equaliser like most other teams would have done? Nope, straight back to the circle to try and win the game. You can find it insulting, but like it or not, we want to finish top two and that means putting teams like you away, which we didn't. Two points dropped, end of story.

 

[womble76]

Deapite the 3 2 score line Crewe were truly abysmal against us. We should had 6 or so goals they were that open. I cant see any way they survive.

 

[Marked Ox]

I see you’ve signed Connal Trueman. Played 4 times for us last season. Not bad him.

Trueman did well with what little he had to do considering he'd only met his teammates a few hours before kick off. Rotherham will be a bigger test but happy with his efforts tonight. Saying that he may have done slightly better for their goal but the mistake for it was from Herbie Kane* who effectively gave the ball away with a poor pass.

*Herbie Kane was excellent otherwise and ran the game with James Henry.

We can’t recall the loans outside of the transfer window unfortunately

Tbh, we should have probably won by more with the chances we missed in both halves.

We dominated for the 1st 30 mins and tbf to your team, Herbie Kane and James Henry were on top of their game for that spell with periods where they were unplayable, If we'd scored 1 or 2 more in that spell, as we should have with more composure in front of goal, then I think you'd have collapsed mentally as you looked fragile. That said credit to your team you fought back in that last 15 and it became a lot more even in comparison. Mateta (?) finished the chance well for your goal but the chance was rather given to him by a hospital pass from Herbie Kane to Jamie Hanson.

2nd half, we should have scored more with the chances we had but it was a good finish by Nathan Holland for our 3rd goal. But we were very comfortable with Fleetwood creating/threatening little.

Our midfield won the game for us as they dominated/dictated for large spells and we made it look easy at times to get through Fleetwood's midfield and defence. Whether that was down to excellence from us/poor from Fleetwood or a mix that is for others to decide their opinions. But imo, I'm leaning far more to a greater % of it being how good our players were in this match.

Considering how little service he got Callum Morton was a nuisance and was Fleetwood's best player imo.

 

[DippyDon]

Saw Twine's goal, how much are you guys paying us for him, hope we at least have a sell on!

He was out of contract and rejected your deal to sign for us if I remember rightly, so I think all we’d be paying you is compensation, which depending on your academy level could be significant as he was with you for over a decade wasn’t he?

 

[Indian Dan]

Why is it taking so long?

Will the compo figure be based on what he’s doing now or before he joined you?

Cough up.

We didn’t want you to go out of business not sure why you feel the need to make things up or listen to a bunch of 14 year olds on social media, it’s time you let what happened 2 years ago, go, Olaf!

Fair reporting mate, never had any axes to grind with your team and wish you well
