Solid result. Doing well despite the injuries IMO

[TSANHO]

When is Edwards expected to be back?

[BigFatPie]

We’re an odd team, ran rings round them the first 20 odd then we score a belter and then we drop off. Often it’s the other way around. We’re picking quite a few draws when probably we should be winning a few and losing a few but getting more points.

Is Maynard a great coach for the parts when we play well, but terrible for those like today when we don’t. I find the injuries thing difficult because everyone gets them, but he didn’t have much on the bench yet that game was screaming out for Crowley to come on with 20 to go.

If Abbot sticks that chance away it’s 2-0 game over and a great performance and result. Might be the difference between playoffs and automatics.

Don’t think it’s odd, they’re a good side and our dominance wasn’t going to last forever, just 2 decent L2 teams that had their own spells during the game.
On the subs there was only Crowley and like a couple of others something seems a bit off, might be totally wrong. I think JJ and Edwards will be a massive boost when they're back but the likelihood is we’ll lose 2 or 3 to injuries in the new year, it’s going to be a long grind and picking up points like today will help.

I think we are a bit odd. We have very good spells of 20/30 mins, but we’ve barely put in a sustained good 90 minutes all season. The flip side is we haven’t really thrown in a fully bad one either. Completely erratic within the same game.

It’s not entirely convincing, but we’re doing okay. Keep picking up points.

We’ve done it all season, regardless of the opposition. Frustrating more than anything, because many teams would have put that game to bed after how well we started.

Yes but tempered by the probability that those other teams would probably have full attacking options and not 75% missing. All things being equal I don't think there is much room for complaint (I not saying you are complaining).

Apart from the idiots throwing smoke bombs towards the pitch..

And to think that I used to think chucking toilet rolls was daft and annoying.

I was sat feet away from him and he looked like he was sulking from the start and totally disinterested. He not once spoke to any of the other subs and most certainly is p...ed off with something. Not good for team spirit, I would suggest

How often do you do a 'subs watch'?
For the next game, could you watch Cundy, please? I want to know who he talks to and when.
I remember a thread from a year ago when you said you felt uncomfortable when Dan Crowley mentioned his religion in interviews. You've posted a very subjective thread suggesting a player is harming team spirit, but isn't there an agenda here, be it conscious or subconscious?
