Nomad Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Whatever you say about our illustrious manager his bold substitution in the 94th minute proves what a winner he really is. He didn't give up and settle for a point, he knew that despite conceding we were on the front foot and the most likely to create and miss a few more chances. After the game Steve was full of admiration for the way Wes ran his socks off for close to a minute : "Wes has been chomping at the bit in training so I knew he was ready for a full minute of action. If he carries on like that he can expect 2 minutes in the not too distant future". Expect more tactical genius from SC on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Jeez have you forgotten who got us here and from where ? did we lose today? were we just a tad unlucky not to get all the points from a Charlton side who were fighting for their lives. Don't be surprised at all if we don't come back from Burnley with something...............its not over, its far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only consistent in this campaign has been our inability to put teams away when we've been on top (I won't list the games as there is many) and also Cotts inability to close games out with tactical knowledge and the subs at his disposal. with teams like Rotherham and Hudderfield regularly picking up points it's looking increasingly like another relegation season...

There was none of them hammering on the door, no indication we were about to concede. We didn't NEED to change, as of 92.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we missed the pen then we sat back and it was dejavu to me. We sat back looking for the 1-0. We should have changed after the pen miss. Gone for the jugular with Burns, Reid, hell even Cox if he's still here going at them. They were absolutely terrible and if we can't beat them at home then we will struggle. Still don't think we'll go down but we need to change and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 If a substitution had been made before they scored their goal, guess who would be getting the blame for changing things for no real reason. With all the better managers on here, Cotterell can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much longer are we able to say it's not over yet as yet another gilt edged chance of three points has been squandered Are we supposed to say "it's over" when there are still 23 games remaining and only in the relegation places on goal difference? Plenty of twist and turns to come, some will go in our favour, some will go against us. It's in the balance but it's not as though we're getting hammered every week. I don't understand the view that relegation is an inevitability. We are one of a number of clubs fighting for survival - and we are fighting.

With respect...do you not think it's a bit sad fans are rejoicing in the fact we got promotion from league 1 and find ourselves in the bottom 3 of the Championship. Considering the resources this club has had over the years, it's hardly something to write home about. This season is just like when John Ward took us up...he ran out of ideas...and we were also very offensive and conceded goals for fun. Look where that ended up...not Benny's fault...but poor recruitment and tactics by Ward to start with. Forgot about defence and thought buying just forwards was the answer.

Yes we are in the bottom 3 but only 12pts behind Cardiff in 8th; we have no given right to take points from any club and this season will be taken as a learning curve. You can be sure SC will be doing his best to fill the positions that we need strengthening in; it will be at least 4mths before I`m throwing the towel in or giving up on a manager who has lifted this club out of the Dreariness. Feel free to continue to panic though we will be fine....you`ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not panicking old boy...if SC changes the way we set up to play, we could quiet easily end up lower mid table imho. 12 points sounds a small amount...but it's a massive amount at this time of the season. I truly believe we could strengthen in places...but continue playing in the same vein and it won't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
