I've been told on here by a couple they are not bothered if we aren't playing well becuase we won. Well the day i don't care if we're playing shite is the day I stop going.
Problem is that we said this all last season. “Doesn’t matter if we play shit and win”. But over a full season it will catch up with you and it did at the end of last season. The same will happen again this year, you can see the exact same patterns emerging as last season. We are just drifting at present towards an uninspiring third season of league one football. You’ve got to grab the game by the balls at some point
I can't be that harsh if I gave him man of the match
Both goals (Oxford and Accrington) he played a poor pass which led to the receiver being intercepted. Both situations, unfortunately for him, led to goals being scored. It's not always the person who loses the ball who is at fault, although I'm sure you know that.
He was good yesterday, a real bright spark.
I can’t agree with your assessment of Dobson. Thought he was pretty poor to be honest. Him and Grant were overrun in the middle and countless times one of their midfielders had a free run at our centre halves and they should have scored a hatful or goals with the chances they had particular in the first 30 minutes. The system really needs to change as more and more teams are overloading the centre of the park against us making it 3 or even 4 against 2 through the middle and just walking through us. I’d much rather see a middle three of onien, Dobson/power and McGeouch behind a three of Gooch, McGeady and mcnulty. Would just make us that bit more solid. It could have been 5-5 at halftime today, and better teams would have been significantly ahead of us. Today showed the same problems as the Peterborough game did. And I won’t even start on the negative approach once we went 3-1 ahead...
Think your other ratings were pretty much spot on - I’d have given Gooch and mcnulty another half a point orso, and Gooch motm for me (for about the 3rd time this season, surprisingly). Think Gooch is really important to how we want to play and is underrated on here a lot this season. And I agree he was beyond shite last season.
