Match Thread vs. Chesterfield 01.03.22 [NL]

Players end up at the level they deserve to be at………
Ruben and Roberts are talented but generally at best inconsistent at worst just plain lazy and wasteful

How dare you call Ruben lazy!!!???

I've got a lot of posts to get through from last night's game plus I need to tally up or the fans who didn't comment after Saturday's victory but have emerged after tonight's very disappointing defeat. Could take some time but I can't let that statement go by without highlighting and challenging.

He didn't, his actual words were "at best inconsistent at worst just plain lazy and wasteful". I wouldn't call Ruben lazy, but he is definitely inconsistent. He has at least as many ineffective games as good games, and for a player who is supposed to be way too good for this level for whatever reason he's not performing anywhere near as well as he should be doing.

Why do you need to do that? We know some posters are more active after a defeat than a win, it's the same on any football messageboard.
Is anyone bothered apart from you?

I think Laddo’s comment was tongue in cheek

Ruben is one of a number of our players who are for some reason massively over-rated. Just like our performance against Halifax last week was massively over-rated. I read some of the comments after that game and wondered if I had watched the same 90 minutes. From what IB said he thought it was fantastic too and we were just unlucky not to stick 5 past em.

Sounds like last night was a bit of a wake up call about how good we actually are, which if IB realises it might be a good thing. I think our chances of promotion are pretty much non existent, but I still have a fairly decent degree of confidence that the changes will be made over the summer to put us in a better position for next season.

That would be a ''No''.

Oooooo Gumpy what have you done?!?!

I know one person for sure who is not going to like you talking on behalf of others on this message board

Sorry, that includes me.

I think this pattern has something to do with the fact that we're in the NL! Hence wins against very modest opposition are not generally seen as a cause for great rejoicing, whereas defeats to the small number of contenders (for 1 or 2 promotion berths) are demoralising.
