I wasnt expecting much cashy..... but we sounded VERY poor today.

Not good enough for me.

Wycombe against Bristol Rovers Saturday. Unless I'm reading. it wrong they both can't overtake Stanley.

Redraine · 21-04-2014, 16:08

2 more points needed.

smudgie · 21-04-2014, 16:10

Smudgie it was always going to be difficult,away from home against a play off team.
They had two shots on target(one was in injury time),that tells me we did ok defensively.
We may of lacked a bit going forward,but why open the game up and get picked off 3/4 nil,when goal difference maybe key

I think 1 point for absolute safety. Worst possible outcome is Wycombe and B Rovers win one and draw against each other, then it goes to goal diff if we fail to get any more points from our last two games. However, our goal diff looks OK at the moment provided we don't get two good thumpings and just lose by the odd goal, think I'm right but please check.....

A bit harsh that & i always think unless you are at the game it's difficult to make a judgement on the way the lads have played

There seems to be a bit of controversy with their goal.
Acci had the goal and the ref blew as a Southend lad was down.
He then started with a drop ball near our box rather than giving possession back to us,or kicking it down field/their keeper.
No doubt chubbyman will let us know

Shocking,but who cares now you geniuses have assured me we are safe, barring a catastrophe.

Unfortunately we have strikers at our club who can't finish their dinners! Gray rarely gets himself in a shooting position , Odejayi just doesn't shoot <(which is a bit weird for a striker) , the same is said for Danny webber who only seems to score penalties and then McCarten who is really a winger but he also doesn't find himself in shooting positions! Beattie as a good striker as he is must find this next season!

The people who we say we are safe are living in dreamland! Anything can happen in this league! I don't think we will get anything from Oxford as it's our voodoo team (especially away) and then we might not get anything against Wimbledon ! They are beating teams away from home recently and with our home record and their away record and the fact we may be under pressure and their not could lead to a bad result! I'm just hoping we stick tight against Oxford and just hit them on the break and just grind out that massive point!

See you in oxford guys and gals!

Very harsh, we don't exactly have the most creative midfield do we creating chances and whipping in crosses. Generally the strikers spend most of their time with heir backs to goal, feed off scraps and have to create their own chances.

For hte record bought Gray was excellent today up front on his own, much better than when odejayi plays up here with him
