what a wonderful display of a one dimensional team.

we played long ball constantly.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

midfield didn't appear to show up today (pook).

strikers please for the love of god, you're over 6 foot tall and built quite well (ohhh matron) and you let these defenders maul you. MAKE THE CENTRE BACKS SCARED OF YOU!!!!!

Long ball into the wind - pure fucking genius!  :x

Smith's kicking was terrible today, well in the first half anyway, if the wind is that strong behind you, maybe long punts up the field aren't the best idea in the world.

i'm glad i didn't bother.

I'm glad you didn't bother.

 :wink:

only 6 points behind walsall

i'm not entirely down today, just a particularly annoying performance. we didn't deserve to win at all

you what?

we got it out wide second half, which isnt long ball...which isnt one dimension?

Bennett was that you who shouted out "You stupid old cunt"???  

Cracking view up at the back of the Arkells.

PS will get a few new faces in, and if he gets a striker who's as good in his position as Zaboub or Timlin we should be sorted.

we got it out wide eventually through luck more than judgement

 :mrgreen: yes it was rob. the ref was also rather poor

Phil King and co must have heard that shout!!  Good work.

i was there shouting and ranting hoping it wasn't on the radio  :oops:  my mum would clip my ear if she heard such language

My dad in the 2nd half was constantly slagging off Roberts.

To be fair Ultra, Roberts was pretty cack today IMO.

I hate it when people constantly get on at roberts.  It's pointless, they blame him for everything, some woman behind me was moaning about him for the full 90 minutes, felt like ripping up a seat and smacking her around the face with it!  Well at least asking her to refrain from such negative talk.

he was. Right near the end when he went on that run and shot right on the corner of the box, Peacock was shouting out for the ball to be crossed. He is greedy and has attidude problem.

but he was fucking shite today...god knows how he managed to stay on for the whole 90

the think with robberts this is my opinion is he's too greedy, he's a good player when he wants to be but he is tryign to exceed he own limits and do things he cant do which is why poeple slag him off, he takes it round one, then another at this poin he should look up for options but ne he tries to take round a 3rd, 4th etc etc and then falls over trying to get a free kick, he needs to stop being greedy

(sorry bout spelling mistakes)

he should know his role and shut his mouth!

he can skin a player, he can cross....he cant do much else....so really he should just get on with what he can do

He gives up to easy and stands around with his hands on his hips.

Bollocks

he gives up to easy and stands around with his hands on his bollocks???

Nah what your saying is bollocks he was the only one today who caused them any problems with the exeption of zaboub.

I wasnt saying it....

and the only people he really troubled today was the fans in the town end with his shooting  :(

who else was shooting though

I'm sure most of the players in our team are quite capable of shooting into the town end, they just choise not to  :?

Not liking this 4-4-1-1 (or 4-5-1) formation with Lucas on his own. He just isn't quick enough to trouble defenders in certain positions. I assume it is Sturrock tailoring our formation to suit the players we have until he can add to the squad.

I can understand why people slate Roberts on effort/consistancy, but at least he looks like he has the ability to do damage. Not many have his ability, just wish he'd show it more. Won't be a total suprise if he is moved on but I'd be dissapointed.

"Lionel" Blair Sturrock had a few good touches when he came on. Will have to see how that translates over a more significant amount of time on the pitch.

we didnt play 4-5-1 today?! nor did we against Wycombe?

Blair Sturrocks shit

I base this on the fact that hes working for his Dad.What person with any other options would do that?

Sturrock doesn't strike me as the type of bloke who'd just give his son a job even if he didn't have any ability.

I think I'll wait until I've seen him more than 10 minutes a game before I pass judgement.....

im not so sure,has Blair played for anyone else except his old fella?

yes...

He was at Rochdale and Kiddiminster, where by all accounts he did alright and was both teams top scorer I think...

Plymouth fans also rated him when they were in this division and claimed that sometimes they thought Sturrock Snr didnt play him enough because he was his son and didnt want to be seen to be playing favourites...

I agree does stick in the throat a bit when you hear Sturrock praising his own son on the radio after saying he's letting Leigh Henry, David Stroud and Royce Brownlie go :(
The highlight of the day was the corner flag blowing out of the ground :soapy tit wank:  and Red Macca wearing my hat 8)

ok, he scored 6 at Rochdale in 15 starts and 6 at Kiddi in 17 starts and 2 for Plymouth in 9 starts

Seems he doesnt start alot of games

i believe he scored 6 in 12 for rochdale last season, surprised they released him given that form.

scored a few goals for a terrible kidderminster team in the conference.

didn't start many games for plymuff so his goalscoring record there is fairly poor.

i've not seen him play at all yet but i do think he'd have started by now if he wasn't sturrock jr.

It may be an irrational dislike I have of him,but its a dislike none the less.Im always right about these things as well :)

you wanted to see football played on the deck, on a waterlogged pitch? how the fuck would that work. Then half the passes would of gone to the opposition, and people would be coming on here moaning about giving away possesion, and how we should have layed long ball :?

you can still pass a football on a water logged pitch, no?

If you are highly talented, then you can probably play on a waterlogged pitch no different to how you would play on a perfect pitch

BUT

Our players aren't highly talented. If they tried playing neat fast one-twos on that pitch, more often than not they'd fail, because the ball would just get stuck in the turf, or skid on too fast.

Just kick the fucking thing a bit harder. It's not rocket science.

Its always difficult to play sexy football in conditions like today.....Notts who have a decent away record were tailor made for today....if you don't believe me think Sheff U v Arsenal.....Warnock produces essentially a top grade version of a lower league side...Arsenal just couldn't get it going in the conditions even with Jagielka in goal for most of the second half.

 In the second half at times we played some OK stuff.....

Wot Reg said

It's a bit liek Miglioranzi. Even when at his best he struggled in conditions like yesterday's. Sometimes players just aren't suited to the conditions - which is why we're going to have to put in a goodhow at MK, I think wind and rain is going to benefit them more than us
