Match Thread vs. Bromley 15.05.21 [NL]

[laddo]

Hit the woodwork twice, countless incisive attacks, pace, tempo, taking people on, playing forwards, Ruben plucking balls out the sky like Bergkamp and spinning away from people like Zidane, Ely Sam producing a high speed mazy dribble down the middle while rolling his foot over the ball like peak Stallard.

Before anyone tells me I'm getting carried away - I know I am, but I don't care. I feel like I've got my team back.

No point driving with the handbrake on.

Delighted to see so many be so positive based on performances over the past half dozen games.

I think if we make the P/O's and get to the semi final stage, we'll win promotion.

I'm beginning to think the same. Bromley were a decent team today but we were unlucky not to win.
Momentum is everything and we look to be playing our best football of the season right when it matters.
Win on Tuesday and it's hard not to believe.

That game would have looked good, two divisions higher. Very impressive

I thought on the whole we were excellent today. I had my doubts about IB but haven’t now, especially with him playing Brindley over Turner, clearly we are going to sign more young athletic competent footballers as per the Brentford model with the ethos we attack teams. He’s done well with what he’s had at his disposal as the last few games it’s been night and day to previous performances and I have to admit I didn’t think Ardley was doing that bad.

Yes we are conceding almost every game
Bread and butter crosses are not dealt with game after game but we are going the right way!!
Jesus are we gonna come down to earth with a huge bump. At the expense of repeating myself we cannot win the playoffs conceding 2 goals a game

We can if we score 3 a game.

Yep, the defence was poor today and I described the performance at ht as ‘Ardleyesque’.

The big difference now is that IB wasn’t afraid to make the change at HT and we came out looking much more threatening and got in behind a very stubborn Bromley defence time and again. Our most talented attacking players, who by and large looked lost under the previous manager were also our best players.

To me we look a massively improved side to the one that’s been on show for most of the season.

I suppose a point is better than nothing, but I think today was really a must win (particularly with the other results going against us).

Still... while there is mathematically still a chance... you never know, we could yet scrape in.

Scrape in? We are in a play-off position. Not sure what you mean mathematically still a chance. That usually applies when you need to win all your games and others lose all theirs.

A very watchable game where we were a bit unlucky not to win. First half we had a lot of the ball but the better chances went to them. Second half we had a go at them, and it was disappointing that we conceded the equaliser. Miller and Ruben caused them lots of problems, overall more positives to take than negatives.
