Switching on - Have we scored again?

FT 1-1

[Peter Venkman]

1-1 I am mostly happy with the result if not the performance.

[Flashheart]

If we beat Wimbeldon we should still be right in it.

If.

Fucking if.

I hate that word sometimes.

If.

Fucking if.

I hate that word sometimes.

And coupled with the word "only" makes it even more deadly.

[Flashheart]

We could lose next week and STILL have a chance, depending on other results.

This is cruel.

A poor performance, accompanied by baffling tactical changes and substitutions but we live to fight another day. MK had chances galore and were even clean through after we equalised but their composure was already on holiday. We had our chances with a poor 1 on 1 Miss from Goddard and we wasted some good chances from corners. The equaliser has given us a bit of hope still though...

[Peter Venkman]

Its going to go down to the wire, probably dependant upon getting a result at Charlton last day of the season unfortunately.

Williams:
- Can look at it 2 ways. At times we rode our luck. But we also carved out some chances
- Obika: Not his strongest foot. Ajose wanted to push it in on the line
- Obika never stops running
- Started very defensively. This opposition was very good. They have players who can run past you or pass through you
- Starting this way is good if you score first, but harder if you dont
- One mistake, a penalty and we had to chase the game
- A preach everytime dont tackle in the box. Block or hope something else happens
- Set team up in similar way to last 2 weeks. More defensive and give nothing away
- Means playing with no width. Makes it more difficult to create chances
- Second half we opened up, played with 3 central defenders and more width.
- Tried to be brave, but had to ride our luck giving away several one on ones
- Vigaroux was excellent again. Making svaes he has no right to make. Taking crosses and dealing with things for us.
- Not worried about the performance today. The opposition were good. For periods of the game they were better than us. That's becasue they had no pressure on them and could enjoy the game.
- Conroy: Possibly a nerve issue. Needs to be checked out.
- Probably need 3 wins out of 4. We'll try. The opposition today was good. We beat Fleetwood and Millwall which were two good teams.

Shite.

[Wobbly Bob]

It's Goddard through on goal, squares it to Ajose, WHO SCORESSS.

Except he didn't.

Three wins out four needed. That's it.

[Peter Venkman]

Shite.

It sounded pretty shit but every point counts as they say.

[theakston2k]

Three wins out four needed. That's it.

Fingers crossed Scunthorpe get into a position where they can't go up or down in the table and do what we did under Cooper and play their kids to save themselves for the play offs.... not that we couldn't still manage to lose though!

Lucked a point today. Post x 2, crossbar, Vigs and shit Franchise finishing saved us from a thrashing.
So slow and ploddy in the first half. Marginally improved in second. They gifted us the goal too, well not quite as Obika still had a lot to do.

Good summary, poor performance over 90 mins, ref a total wanker - allowed Lewington to get in his ear throughout the first half which resulted in Ince's booking when to me it looked like he won the ball, thereby we lost our only bit of physicality.  We hardly won a second ball and how many times did we give the ball away from our throw-in, sadly we started slowly and allowed them to boss us - they will feel aggrieved at not taking three points.  One final point, we seem to have a lot of skillful footballers who sadly lack a brain at times!
