[holdsteady]

For me it’s now down to 3 games to get four points, it’s gutting losing like that but it’s not all over, we have 3 huge games to get the points we need, two at home and Doncaster away. This team isn’t good enough to compete in the other two games.

It was always going to be tight and edgy, quite simply we don’t have the players for it to be any other way, Saturday will be the same we just have to hope the luck goes our direction. I was gutted at the end but you have to realise this is a relegation battle where we don’t and won’t get a lot of points but are fortunate that we don’t need a lot.

Robinson got them up for it and organised, nothing else to do with this poor side, a team which could well go down and in truth is probably in the worst four teams in the league, the performances against Bury and Northampton over four games confirmed that for me, but if we can just hold our nerve we can dodge a bullet and stay up to go again next season with a new side.

To be fair I think those decisions were down to Faz. Hadn’t Pep already left the building?

The deadline was around Fazs first game. Pep had plenty of time to recall.

Get Nelson back in with Dickie and we start picking up points. Simple as that.

Think I'll keep my head down tonight.

What a c**t McAleny is.

 

[makv]

What on earth were they thinking loaning Raglan out and not recalling Hemmings?

Peps f-up again.

Fleetwood made Eastwood make two quality saves. Did we make the Fleetwood goalie make any?

The one from Wes was decent. And the tip around the post from Dickie.

Here is something something philosophical:

I'm getting flashbacks to an awful relegation year many moons ago - desperately scrapping for points and Nicky Banger nearly scores a cracking free kick (man he was bad - I mean we complain about this current lot...we have had some truly shocking forward lines in the past) late in a game which rattles the underside of the bar, bounces over the line and it's not given by the ref - hammer blow. It's was a similar heavy heart as this evening as there was trudging away from the London Rd that day
But....we will have good times again, we will have bad again, BUT we won't have Kemp again, or Steve Wood, Nicky Banger or Wayne Biggins - so let us breathe deeply and be thankful for this.
Chin up all x

We got Dick Turpined tonight, we had the chances to win the game. We just lack a striker with that killer instinct.

Thunderous strike from McAleny, and to his credit never celebrated.

To be fair, McAleny never celebrated when he was banging in hat tricks for us.

Umm?

 

[moomooland]

Most of our players are not good enough for League 1.

That’s the key issue though. If you’re crap at front - and a failure to hit the target in successive home games against Oldham and Fleetwood indicate that that’s the case - then you’re going to leave yourself open to the sucker punch unfortunately

 

[Osei Yaw]

Umm?

I don't remember McAleny celebrating when he scored goals for us at the end of last season.

 

[Foley]

I remember hearing DF explain why Raglan went out. I am not sure that DF particularly rated Raglan.

Please next season can we have someone who can hit a barn door from 6 yards

What about10,20,30 or 40yards people have said on here we have 4 strikers! Like to f*****g know who?

 

[Ox5OUFC]

Wouldn't that make it 3-1?

Yes well spotted and wouldn't either of those scores have been nice

 

[bicesterox]

Just got back home....that is the worst I've felt all season I think, could see it coming , the more we missed,, or failed to shoot, I feel sick right now, absolutely gutted, and all these people claiming there are 4 worse teams than us....i hope they are right

 

[Common Villager]

Most of our players are not good enough for League 1.

We have a lot of good players, but we just lack pace and a player that can create something from nothing.

 

[Mack Jidson]

Absolutely gutted. I'll be positive tomorrow because we just have to be for Saturday, but man, to lose like that tonight really hurts. Worst I've felt after a game in ages.

 

[bazzer9461]

still just need one more win cant be that hard can it??

Against whom?

 

[bazzer9461]

I presume the people saying how bad we are didn't see the game. We did not deserve to lose and the effort from everyone was first class.

Apart from the useless strikers

 

[yellowbow]

So am I right in thinking that our record against Fleetwood now reads P8 W0 D1 L7. What the fecking f#ck is all that about??!

 

[bazzer9461]

5 games to get at least 3 points. Can see a maximum of 4 points from it, probably only 2 though. Need to ride the storm of Wigan and Southend out and just try our best to get the points from Donny and Rochdale.

Have you seen how Rochdale have been performing?
