[uptheus]

Please can we not be on sky again

Your wish is granted, we won’t be on tv on 14th March!

We've been in incredible form and have climbed from the bottom of the league to being within a point of the playoffs. We also played quite a tough match on Saturday, coming from behind to get a late win against a battling Wigan side. the team tonight has been a bit mix and match, and I for one would much, much rather we gave key players a bit of a rest in the u21s cup.

We're going to lose sometimes.

That’s fine, but people aren’t criticising all that, they’re criticising this specific performance.

[werthersoriginal]

f**k me I almost forgot how negative this place is when we're not winning

The hysteria is never far away!

 

[Common Villager]

So you are happy with this s**t football?

Im happy with the performance of the team over the past 3 or 4 months, and quite honestly could give a s**t about this competition.

 

[uptheus]

Similar to the Wycombe play off final

This is a rubbish performance but.. People need to chill. We have come of the back of 11 wins in 12. Yes you heard right 11 in 12! We have a good chance of making the playoffs. No need to crucify players for missing penalties (Taylor) etc or write players of after 1 1/2 games (Grayson). We need to get behind them, chances are given how many games we have coming up that we will need to use the majority of our players.

 

[GreenMachine]

Well it's a poor performance heads up lads onto the next one.

 

[Pillox]

Stick it out to the end but this has been a hard watch

 

[oufc1991]

We’ve been s**t from start to finish it’s been crap on this showing alone and I know this is a changed team but I can’t see us going up this season to many of our players are toothless don’t look up to it and sky can f**k off leave us on ifollow

 

[Osleroad]

They don’t look like they care those lads in yellow. It’s being treated as a behind closed doors friendly.

Actually that might be better

 

[uptheus]

Our mojo has gone

 

[Eaststanding]

If this performance doesn’t provoke the mother of all reactions on Saturday then there’s something wrong.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Ruffels
Hall
Henry
Grayson
Hanson

All shocking tonight. You cannot tell me otherwise.

To be fair Hall's pro career is finished he just still has a contract with us. Injuries did for him

 

[uptheus]

Chasing shadows now

 

[Archieyellow]

That are taking the P**s out of us

 

[Followtheox]

I suppose Robinson will have to say his soft spot for Tranmere is bigger than for us. really poor team selection and a really poor performance from all

 

[Horse]

Cmon Hicks

Refs union, this is Mike Dean’s team we’re playing

 

[LeftSideBoy]

To be fair Hall's pro career is finished he just still has a contract with us. Injuries did for him

So why is he starting in the semi final of a cup? We cannot complain about a result and our performance when we are starting players that are, quite frankly, nowhere near good enough..

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Matty Taylor has just had one of those games where nothing goes his way, nothing he tries comes off.
