Londoner Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Never seen a team press so poorly in this division....first half they just let us have the ball and with our movement at times cut through them. They are a club who are in big trouble this season. Too early to say? But the trap door awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 It was a bit like watching Charlton a few years back. If that wasn't an off day they won't get many points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the vultures of the last couple of transfer windows left just the bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were good first half....theu were desperately poor all game....looked like a handful of champ players with a load of non league thrown in....which is exactly what they are.

Robbored Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Based on what we saw today I be very resigned to relegation if I were a Tyke. If fact they were signing. "We're going down" so I guess they're not hoping for an improvement in performances and form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 We didn't let them play in the first half. I'd prefer to think that they looked poor because we made them look poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked a lot of what we did, just don't want to get carried away. But , I'm hoping that it was we were good rather than they were shit, which , honestly , they were.

Dullmoan Tone Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thought their right back was particularly poor - nothing went right for him and he could / should easily have had 2 yellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing some pretty awful Championship sides in the past and NOT outplaying or even not beating them. So no, It looks like we have improved but you're right about needing a better test.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Isn't their squad average age below 25 or something? It showed today, lost fight very quickly. Looked poor and on that showing alone I can see them struggling this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Goch Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 They were easily one of the worst sides I've seen play at the Gate for a long time. Seems like a long old season ahead for their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Was reading their forum earlier. Seems their Chairman and backer is extremely ill and his Son isn't interested hence selling any player thy have had a half decent offer on and replacingwith freebies on moderate wages. They were already resigned to losing this game and being in a lot of trouble as the season progresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Credit to their fans for making noise throughout. I really worry about what we've done by giving up the whole of the Atyeo. If/when it's full, it will be reasonably easy for the away end to dominate the noise. They don't half hate Johnson too, don't they! The team was very poor though, glad we were able to put a few past them and Reid/Diedhou continues to look a fruitful pairing.

BS10 RED Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thought Barnsley we're very poor and hope us looking so good first half wasn't down to that reason. I guess next week will tell us a little more. On the other hand thought Reid looked very lively and Pisano will only get better as the season goes on.

Crackers Corner Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 They were 3 down with 15 to go and their keeper seemed disinterested in taking a goal kick like he had all the time in the world. Tbf once their fans got over the drubbing they made some noise in the last 20 but the team was really awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
