Match Thread vs. Stockport County 15.03.22 [NL]

Having just watched the post match interview with IB why the f**k wasn't the game postponed???!! Absolutely disgraceful player management, they should not be playing.

I don't get this either, if the day before a game away to the best team you're having to discuss playing your centre forward at centre back then call the game off ffs.

That was my first thought after watching the interview. Naïve in the extreme especially during a season of postponements. Play the game Ian, join the postponement party. Madness.

Shame the interviewer didn't pose that question and put him on the spot

Is this playing out from the back an IB obsession? Doesn't seem to have any alternatives and this style will not get us promoted. It is too easily sussed out.

Whenever there goalie had the ball he got rid straight away before we could get back, Their second goal came from a punt down the field, whilst we were looking up at the planes coming into land . Whenever our keeper had the ball he was slow in releasing it, and when he did it was a panic ball out to our defence who by that time were all marked up.. Causing unnecessary pressure... It was CRAP

This. If we really have so many players sick that we can’t field a team then apply to get the game called off. If the league refuse then call them out, it’s hardly unreasonable when teams have had games called off for one or two Covid cases. If we have to play, stick Doyle in, call the loanees back and play the kids. We’d understand that and get behind them.

What isn’t really fair on anyone is to put in 90 minutes where the entire team looks like they’re about to pass out, drag a few hundred of us up to watch it and then go ‘well, everyone was throwing up, what can you do?’.

We have been just as crap in the last few games, when we had no one sick. Its just an excuse...

IB must be wondering what on earth he can do to sort this!

Thought that is what he was supposed to think 12 months ago when he arrived lol

I didn't go but are you sure? We were as crap against Wrexham, Solihull and Yeovil as we were last night against Stockport?

Anyone else who went to those games agree?

You forgot to mention Wealdstone, Bromley, Grimsby, Yeovil and the 10 men of Halifax.. Wrexham was a cup game in which most of the second string played... Also, we were outplayed for much of the second half against Solihull... We were very lucky to come away with a point..

Nah we’ve been bad at times this season but last night was basically unique this season for me as a performance. All of the stuff we usually struggle with was there, over committing to passing out from the back, troubled by the press etc, but with a complete lethargy from the entire team that, to be fair, we don’t normally have. We looked like a team full of sick players, to be honest.

Someone has dumped our "Bandwagon" on top of a pile of old scrap

It wasn't ''dumped'', it was ''ecologically-recycled'', the wheels fell off.
