Alessandro Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 3 points is 3 points. It was good at times today, poor at others. Just tired in the second half and lost discipline at times, but we had the goal and defended it. Home form slowly turning around, another step to getting through this season and we're moving, slowly, in the right direction, now closer to the top 6 than the bottom 3 in terms of points, with only 3 points separating 8 teams between 10th and us in 17th.

The bottom three are really starting to cut adrift at the moment. Way too early in the season to say anything for certain but none of them look that well placed to drag other teams into it at the moment... Quote Link to comment

Second half pass success below 60% I think. Ridiculously low every game That’s down to the players,so many need shipping out Quote Link to comment
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Any of the ones who thought Derby might overtake us still think that? 25 points behind with 25 to play? Quote Link to comment

1team Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Alex Scott. His discipline, control and skill set are exceptional for a teenager, particularly in an unfamiliar role. That and Massengos energy levels and Atkinsons composure were the things that stood out for me today. The future looks brighter. 10 Quote Link to comment

It may not be pretty but its better than losing/drawing in last seconds of games. Keep on picking up points till we get to Jan and a few loans to strengthen areas. We seem to show glipses of what Nigel is trying to achieve, at last. It`s a psychological thing. Winning while playing poorly still gets confidence up. 2 Quote Link to comment

Why can't we just compose ourselves and manage the game. Still 3 needed points. That will come with confidence 1 Quote Link to comment

A slightly better press and significantly better passing/ball retention needed to help us avoid being out on our feet in the last 15 of every game. We had the better chances overall and should have been out of sight. Still restricted them to not much, despite some very panicked play later on, which think is fatigue as much as lack of composure. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mihai Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Be glad that we won and we are 10 points clear of that place that would ruin our Christmas. I will take a few wins like that. This season is about surviving and maybe making a few boundaries in our team to prepare for the next. Edited December 4, 2021 by Mihai 3 Quote Link to comment

Padlad Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 This season is going as expected. It will be slog and not be pretty to watch but it looks unlikely we will go down. We are playing poorly but still 3 points off 9 th place . Feel calm after that result. Home form is decent now but away form has gone to pot. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bar BS3 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 A good & very welcome win! Still very concerning that, again, we have around 30% possession in games - it's simply not good enough and invites pressure & problems - that need rectifying ASAP. A good with though, so can't complain too much, but stats also need to improve to build some momentum. Every 3 points are massive at the moment. Get safety guaranteed ASAP and then build from there. 1 Quote Link to comment
