Great win, yes. Can we play better, yes.
90 minutes of football needs 90 mins of support we got a good 60 out of Stanley today but for the first 30 mins of the 2nd half the crowd went TA TA.
I you want players coming off shagged and panting then you should be going home hoarse. It was a bloody hard gig for me tonight, bike festival as well, but the pleasure of getting the result made it worth it. Football is a kind of intense thing, I as a full time musician am limited to the amount of live footy I can attend, if I`m priveleged enough to be there I live it from arrival to departure. I dont want a beer, i dont want a burger, I dont even want a wee wee, I want it full on, 90 minutes of total absorbtion. I know paying £2.50 for a burger is probably making dosh for somebody but it`s sweet FA compared to 3 points in the bag.
Wycombe were a bloody good team, they were alert, they were fast, positioning was great and most people would say their talent should outclass us, but come to the final third and the reds had the measure of `em. They might have had more efforts, but they weren`t good efforts, and the goal was more down the accy sloppiness than Wycombe talent. And might I reinforce lack of vocal support from the restart. I`ve studied this to great extent no less than with the famous Notts County who in league 1 conceded nearly 80% of their goals in the first 10 mins after the interval. (they must have a good buger van) It happened to us against Boston, same dance, post interval brain fade, again with an uneasy silence around the ground.
What was wrong Oggy ?
In my opinion the big hoof up to Mullin is getting soooooo tired I could intercept from the stand. Other teams watch us and know what we do. Sometimes it brings the desired result , but whats wrong with rolling it out to the defence and coming up thru the team once in a while. When Stanley have got the ball on the ground playing sensible little passes that reach their target they look like friggin Brazil, but a lot of todays game was comprised of over ambitious long balls and chancey knock ons that would be absolutely marvelous if they came off, but against Wycombe who`s anticipation and reaction was top qualtiy they were long shots at least. That said we should be VERY proud to have scored 2 goals against such a capable team and it should ignite the belief for 2 more against Swindon, we know we can stuff Carlisle and then in my belief the biggest test of the season so far Walsall (CD Release date, come on lads you`ve gotta win that one).
Nice simple close passing, Pressure, Pressure, Pressure, Pressure, will bring us the desired results in any game and Stanley will earn the respect they deserve in this league.
Meditate on Triangles boys. Geometry and Art in perfect unison.
I didn`t say today was a work of art it was a bloody good result, down to resilience and desire, thank the lard our boys desire it more than you lot desire pies.
Hey that fat bald bloke who couldn`t hit a barn door was a good sport wasn`t he ? After all the stick he could still have a laugh with us 10/10.
(What were you calling his mum?)
On the down side, shouting jungle bunny and sausage lips at Wycombes coloured lads while rommy boco is waiting to score is just downright backward. If that`s the limit of your intellect stick to Dominoes.
