I guess we spotted potential that they didn’t, their loss I guess.

Does deeply cynical mean nice passing down there. Must be a shock to see the ball on the floor as they are not used to it.

Robins said he's hoping it's not a cracked bone, will have to wait to see.

Tbf we did the stuff that the blind moaners say we don't do, dawdled with throw ins etc slowed the game down. One man's cynical is another's professional

Agreed (but thought I'd be flamed for saying so!) - good to see us learning how to do it, though hope it never reaches the depths of the Ainsworth art.

Although I have sympathy with teams with small grounds and a tiny budget, their type of 'football' is not what I would call entertainment, so bog off back to League Two (or lower) I do feel sorry for fans that have to watch that kind of rubbish.

I was saying during the game how much we learned of the dark arts in league 2 last year. So many teams took points off us by slowing the game down, winning fouls and frustrating us. I hated it at the time but I'm glad we're using it to our benefit now. Wycombe can't talk either, they are one of the worst for it, would have been far more of it if they were leading.

Jch was loving it in the corner, he kept winding their 2 up to try and get it off him.

Then he tried to hammer the ball at him and missed.

Tbh, I was quite disappointed in their efforts to frustrate over the penalty - they could learn a thing or two from the Colombia team.

That's the Jonson we need every week.

When he's up for it with a bit of aggression he's a bully. He terrorised their centre back. He's clearly realised his position in the team is in danger.

Perhaps he is just better as an impact sub.

Possibly. Certainly holds it up better when the defenders are tired.

A bit rich from a team whose style is more akin to Hull Kingston Rovers than a football team. Good to see the followers of anti-football got exactly what they deserved (again). Could you imagine watching that every week? Soul destroying.

Solid victory for us today with an outstanding defensive display from our back two yet again. Every man worked hard today which was the key difference for us

I said a few weeks back we would need to win 3 in a row to make me excited about promotion again

Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in!


Sterling and Kelly brilliant again. Shipley best.performance of season. All of our strikers score for fun. Clean sheet. Good day!

I'm off to ratings thread to give bayliss a 3. How dare he be creative?! We don't want that at cov!

There are so many similarities between this season and last season.
Hopefully the outcome is the same but no doubt many more twists and turns to come.

Agree

However I don't think we can get promoted from league 1 without improving further.we won't face an Exeter if we did make playoffs, instead would be a Sunderland or Charlton etc

I think we need to take advantage of fixture list whilst we can and then come march let's see if we have confidence tontske it to the big teams

I wouldn't say we can't do it but it's obviously a much bigger task.
Though I would say with regard to your point about Sunderland and Charlton that in 3 games against them so far we're won 2 drew 1 and have more Wembley experience in our squad!! But I understand the point you're making.
As usual, January recruitment, or lack of it, by us and the teams around us will be crucial.

The last 7 away games are the real test. 6 of the current top 7 and Accrington. Also to go to Rochdale where our record is woeful.

Don't think we have enough quality for promotion and will stick to my prediction of 11th. Which isn't a big deal, Pompey were similar last season and have now pushed on, no reason why we can't do the same provided we're not homeless.

Would be quite fitting if we finally got back to the Championship only to be turfed out the Ricoh

Wasps would be on the hands and knees begging for us to stay if we were in the championship. We would make them a fortune with crowds well over 20,000 a week.

Top 10 this season would be great.

We have proved that we can go on poor runs just as much as we can go on good ones.

Let's not get carried away. We are not a poor side, but we are not a great one in this division either and January could prove to be key to our fortunes.

No, won't happen.

20k against Villa though and pretty close against Leeds and Forest and Derby and West Brom.
