Sturny Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Think that was our third 0-1 away win this season? Against somewhat opponents that were no pushovers either. I say cheeky because there seems to be a some splash of luck on our side during those games (other team hitting the post or player sent off) Makes me wonder how many more we'll see?

The cheekiest so far has to be Swansea surely? Scoring in the very first minute with what was clearly a "catch 'em cold" planned opening, and then holding them at arms length for the rest of the game.

Nothing cheeky about it. It’s down to top defensive performances. All of the back four, regardless of who plays are very solid and with Pack in front of them to provide cover LJ has done an excellent job replacing Hodur, Flint and Bryan. Now it looks as if he’ll be looking to work some magic this upcoming window in striker department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so . I have long said that we need to be more pragmatic in our approach concerning where we are as a club . LJ seems to have cut out the balls out Championship Manager video game approach .

It wasn't entirely down to that of course. And I wouldn't go as far as saying he's replaced Flint completely, defensively yes (maybe even an improvement) but we haven't had his goals.

Admin phantom Posted December 10, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've only been to three away games so far this season - Swansea / Brentford and Birmingham Next one will be Stoke so get your money on the 1-0 away win that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesM Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I remember going to Plymouth one Tuesday night a fair few years ago now. We were completely outplayed for 89 mins out of the 90....and I mean we never had a kick....then Lee Peacock bagged a winner with our only foray into their penalty area. 0-1...huge kick off outside after too IIRC.

Alex_BCFC Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Swansea was by far the most comfortable. Birmingham pretty comfortable too. Brentford we were 2nd best until the sending off but not totally out of the game. - in fact when Baker went off injured we looked as good as them with 11. Unless LJ does something drastic in the window I can see more 1-0's (either way) for reason of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - ie. tweaking the playing style in the hope of avoiding another long losing streak - plus losing 3 key players and not having the money to get like-for-like replacements (certainly in the case of Reid) are the reasons for this season's inconsistent form - imo. I'm no fan but am prepared to cut the manager some slack in these circumstances. Having said that, some performances - particularly at home - have still been unacceptable. Most realistic, sensible posters would accept being mid-table but not if performances at the Gate are the equivalent of watching paint dry.

Great game, 2003? Remember being sat in work and loads of us started texting about possibly going. By 4pm we’d managed about 4 car loads and set off. Wonferful times and great mates to this day.
