Hello, forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't it League 2 football we are watching? If people want nice passing moves, 90 mins of sustained skillfullness and that little bit of extra quality, might I suggest attending the CG this season is not going to be your thing.
We are in a shit league (yes, it is) which is just a bit shitter than last seasons one.
We won't have great players in our team
We will see long balls from time to time
We will see players fall over the ball every so often
We will see wingers who don't quite have that killer ball, or killer pace
We will see midfielders that can't quite pick out the perfect pass 90% of the time
However, what seems likely is the other side will be a little worse at many games.
Just enjoy scoring more than the opposition and remember, we got 2 promotions in the 80's playing some god awful football, but it was damned fun to watch still.

Completely agree, slagging off set pieces etc. is daft really, fact is the players aren't in higher leagues for a reason usually, if you want fluid football then get a season ticket at the Emerates Stadium. |

Looked like two teams getting to grips with the start of the new season to me.

There was an almost tangible desperation in the crowd, please let us be quite good again, which will inspire (or choke) the team.

to be the dogs bollocks of the division and walk round
and say were fucking swindon and proud of it.
as for choking or inspiring the team time will tell.

I agree with most of it, but our set pieces should be better and hence justifiably critisised. There is no excuse for a professional footballer to continually hit the first defender with a free kick/corner. |

If our players could put together smooth, quick, passing to feet moves all the time they wouldn't be here. We have to accept our limitations and enjoy what they did/do well, not focus on their weaknesses that they are bound to have at this level. Well said that man! |

Christy, If you think that was dismal last night did you go at all last season?
Now that was dismal. Or are you a ex-stayaway expecting us to batter everyone this season?
The team looked better in general than in 95% of the games I watched last season. Thats good enough for me.
Work rate was higher, organisation was better and there was more cutting edge up front. It wasnt perfect, but then I wasnt expecting it to be either.
There were some long balls, but as others have pointed out this is L2, not the champions league. players have limitations. I'd be inclined to say we actually had a few decent passing moves on tuesday night rather than focus on the long balls.

I'm never a fan of this whole realistic negative optinion lets just enjoy the ride we have had loads of negative times lets try to enjoy the good times. Moaning about performances is all good and well but to quote a cliche 'great teams win when there not at there best' just look at Chelsea how many times last season did you see them play poorly but still pick up 3 points, in this league were going to have to fight, work hard and play poorly at times to grind out wins but the end result is simply we need wins and out of 2 games we have a 100% record cant ask for anymore than that. I'm far more optimistic that we havent been fantastic as yet but still won both if we keep winning and then our form starts improving then teams in this division will be scared to play us, I for one am still on cloud 9, bring on the season and promotion.  |

The performance on Tuesday was better than pretty much any game I saw last year, perhaps bar City home and away! (Which shows how much difference our support made imo!)
We were not great, but we played SOME nice football in our better patches, and how you can say Barnet looked fitter is beyond me as we peppered their end towards the end even if there were few clear chances.
And they only had about 2 shots on target all game wit ha strikeforce that is keeping Graz on the bench. Defending like that is what could help us do well this year, not walking it round the opposition

We mixed the game up quite well, and looked fitter near the end, no comparison with last season's mainly hoofball. |

There seem to be two main streams of disagreement to my original post.
I completely understand the 'we won, so shut up and enjoy it' responses. There's logic there. However, I still think we'll have to improve significantly to keep winning, and it's hardly demanding Champions League standard to expect more than three shots on target against a woeful Barnet team, is it? Of the 15/16 games I saw last season, I'd say this wasn't as good as (top of my head for starters) Yeovil, Huddersfield away, City, Colchester, Swansea, Bournemouth, Walsall, Gillingham.... I believe we're capable of getting better and will, but well remember that it took years of misery to get out of Division Four last time.....and won't get too excited, too soon!
I don't understand the point of the abusive, sniping and dismissive responses. Is questioning the tactical approach not allowed until we've lost a few games - when it will be open house. And then some. A fine welcome to the TEF indeed. And even if I was a newbie or a returning stayaway, what's the problem?
