Well i would never start at home with one up front. he complains about playing football on a bobbly pitch then plays Billy Kee on his own, surely the implication is play in the air? plus we trained on it our opponents didnt.

Play in the air? With who??
2 in the midfield wouldn’t of worked vs Luton.

Thanks for the insult.
If thats your only defence then I think you can admit you were wrong.
As someone else pointed out it was hughes who passed back to Dimi for the pen but you were desperate to point the finger at Sean. And that just about sums you up.

Yes, Hughes passed it back to the keeper - he didn't have much choice then - but Sean's poor and stupid pass from midfield created the situation. Hughes passed to LuaLua to set up the worst missed shot of the game, but this one was not his fault.

Okay, so let me make my question clear.
The situation we are in. What line up and subs and formation??
 
If we stay up and it's a big ask now I am beginning to think we need others below to fail we won't I imagine have a great increase in player budget as Andy Holt as said the pitch is now number one concern and he's right it's awful so what does the management team do wholesale changes to the squad being difficult as quite a few of them have recently penned new deals flog the gems not this time nobody has shone reduce the numbers to pay slightly better wages to attract maybe better players or stick with loans and try again but one thing stands out to me a goalscorer is a shopping list must.
 
Thing is I actually agree that things have been poor the last few games especially. Pitch doesn’t help but both teams have to play on it.
However the reason I piped up this morning was I cannot agree with the personal insults from one person in particular.
People should be able to come on here and discuss the games without being shot down because they disagree with said person.
We obviously disagree on JC, I’m confident most Accy fans would agree with me though.
Its always easy to criticise when things are going badly.
 
I'm quite sure that, without the appearance of an fairy godfather who resembles Abramovitch more than Andy Holt, which I for one certainly don't want :nono8:, Coley's taken us as far as anybody can - to the point, as I seem to recall, where Cashy into November/December thought us nailed on for the Championship playoffs at least :rolleyes:. Not sure he's ever likely to change the approach that has got us this far - that's about as likely as Cashy changing his - shall I say - somewhat combative :eek: approach to posting on here.

The real point, for anyone wanting or hinting at changes to the management team, is, surely, does anyone seriously think, without said fairy godfather:

1. We have the resources to offer a "better" team a salary they would accept?

2. Even if we could get such a team, we could then offer them the resources to spend on players which might enable us to do more than survive in whichever league they find themselves?

Personally, I'm happy to enjoy my "season in the sun" :hothothot - even if it's just for one season, though, looking at the various run-ins, I do actually think we will survive.
 
43 games and 43 goals, I don't blame the strikers more a lack of creativity.

I have run the scenarios and we lose the last 3 we go down, as the ones who need to win below us have Bradford, and despite playing each other you would expect all teams to get 3 points needed down to Dons. Southend could get 4 points given the games but it is 50/50 and Wallsall won't get more than 4. Most teams under us play a top team and expect no points form the game.

A point at home to PA sets them up for having to win at Scunny last game, as both lose their other game. This should see us just stay up. The only fear is Wycombe beating Walsall then losing to Wimbledon, we are likley to go down on GD if that happens.
 
Fingers crossed for good results tomorrow for us.
Best results are:
Burton to beat Southend
Bristol to beat Rochdale (draw not terrible but think Bristol are safe)
Charlton to beat Scunny
Barnsley to beat Plymouth
Wycombe Walsall draw? (Not disasterous either way who wins this one)
Luton to beat wimbledon on tuesday.

Can see next Saturday being winner takes all tbh. Whoever wins will be safe. Don’t want to be going to Pompey needing something.

Hope everyone is positive next Saturday, could be a big un.

P.S. we have it in us to get something ourselves on tuesday. Nice pitch against a team who like to play football may suit us. A point would be lovely.
 
Have just seen the highlights on sky, it never showed the long backpass from our attacking half, the last one hughes did make.

At the risk of repeating myself (yet again), we really have become so entirely predictable as a team. I certainly cannot get to all the games, but in those I have seen, I cannot recall seeing a move that has been rehearsed on the training ground.

Apart from those in a defensive area, all free kicks are taken by the same person in the same way. A hopeful punt towards the opposition penalty area in the hope that Sykes or Hughes can make contact with a header.

Our occasional attacks down the left wing seem to carry little threat. We all know (so the opposition must know) that any left wing attack will stop for the ball to be played infield - usually diagonally backwards.

When things are not going well, I never see any evidence of Plan B. When substitutions are made (often too late), they seem to be like-for-like

Maybe the problem on the left has something to do with playing naturally right footed players there ? Or is that too simplistic ? Clearly not to simplistic for our opponents to work out.
 
our football has become stagnated, early season what we lacked in physical strength we made up for with our speed and agility enabling us to penetrate defences, our resent performances have lacked all of these qualities, Billy has been out muscled by defenders with little support from players or officials and so on this point I agree with Cashman that at present time we are wasting our time playing Billy on his own up front, the Don’s performances are benign of the form that took him to Ipswich, there are many teams in league 1 with much stronger squads than ours, so the loss to Luton was predictable although we cross/fingers and hope, looking at the fixture list I fear we are on very shaky ground,

Post 35 in the "Fleetwood Town match" thread:

It also seems very odd to have two right-footed players as left back and left wing. All defenders will know that the pair of them will switch the ball to their right foot to centre it. So predictable and easy to defend.


Clearly great minds etc etc. ;)
 
Watched highlights for about 10th time now.
Seans ball back to Yosser was fine.

Callum should have done better for 2nd pen and 3rd goal...
But let's blame Sean.

More goals than Clicker
More assists than Clicker
 
Rubbish seans ball back was shocking we were directly in line with it. It also put hughes under pressure, but he could/should have done better.
