Londonboy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Mac, Yeovil and Morecombe next 3 games. Combined total of 1 point between them. Think this will really show us where we are if we don't already know... From what I've seen I'll be happy with a win a draw and a loss. Sad state of affairs really but I guess it's where we are at the moment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 If we were going for promotion i’d expect 9 points. We’ll be lucky to get 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusunga_Is_God Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think Derby could demolish us. There is a chance of us gaining more injuries with our coaching staff seeming to train the players like they’re marines instead of treating them as professional athletes and preventing injuries. Think there’s a high chance at the moment we could fail to win all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Honestly, I’d take 5 points at this stage. It would mean no defeats in those 3 games. But we should be getting two wins from those 3 fixtures really. So 6 points at least please. Derby is a free hit. I suspect they will go full strength for fitness and to shake off the hammering they took yesterday.

BP1960 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Needs several changes, Clarke, Surrridge, Baxter (including a couple of new good loanees) for any improvement IMO. Edited August 12, 2018 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A few over the top comments here imo. We have played 2 games. I didn't go yesterday but we didn't lose. We lost on opening day which even the best teams do sometimes, and to the favourites for the league. We are missing 6 or 7 players and we have a new management team in. Can we not just see how it goes for the first 10 games? We wasn't far off the pace against mk last week things haven't derailed that much since then. It's not a dunn Darren whatsisface situation yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a dunn Darren whatsisface situation yet We didn't trouble their keeper at all except that Surridge header which was comfortably saved. We went 2 down early doors and then had lots of possession outside of the opponents box without creating any quality opportunities, not inspiring at all. It was reminiscent of lots of home games under Wellens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sick of waiting to see what happens after the first 10 games season after season and just hoped that this season would be different. Sadly not and after yesterday can't see where the next win is coming from no matter how bad the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) The Derby game couldn’t have come at a worse time for us. Do we field our strongest possible 11, risk further injury, get annihilated and our morale sinks further? Or do we play the kids, get even more annihilated but allows us to focus on the league? We’d get fined but I’d personally stand aside and let them score two or three on understanding we then pass the remainder of the game out. At least both teams know why and morale remains. Just hope AL isn’t expecting a cup run and failure means more player suspensions, berating FB in front of the team.

oafcmetty Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 We'll be right. We've played the first 45 minutes in both games so far with 10 men. Get Baxter in there, allowing Gardner and Missilou to focus on wining the ball and keeping possession, and play Miller and Surridge up top (when fit). Branger to come on from the bench when Jose is goosed, and Maouche when Missilou gets his card. Coke can sell programmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not and after yesterday can't see where the next win is coming from no matter how bad the opposition. I agree to an extent about the first 10 games thing, I'd love us to start a season well for a change and give us all something to get excited about. But there's also merit in cutting Bunn some slack here. One of the things he talked about early in pre season was fixing the defence (utter shite last season) and using that platform to build on. Then before the first game 3 of his starting back 4 are out. So we have 5 kids at the back with no leadership. We're desperately missing the experience of Clarke and the experience and balance of Taylor. And although I was critical of Dummigan last season, he does offer us something going forward. Baxter, Surridge, Byrne - all should do very well at this level. The Byrne situation is fucking annoying. If he's been a cock - fine him, discipline him, tell him to sort himself out and tell the fans that's what has happened. If he doesn't do that then get rid. But this permanent state of suspension and complete secrecy about it is harming the club and causing a rift between supporters and the club. That's 6 players that should make a real difference. If we could get some or all in the team then we can start to judge properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 You can't make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear, so we all ( rightly ) fully expect to get thrashed by Derby. Frankie has openly admitted he would like to have Byrne available for selection! Byrne wants to play! wants rid of Byrne. Bunn should be resting JBB and demanding that allows Byrne to feature , this situation gets crazier by the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
