You clearly didn't watch the same game as me, although I had had several beers, no way on earth did we deserve anything out of that game today. Quite simple dire. We huffed and puffed for ten minutes at the start of the second half, and that was it for the whole game. No idea how to break a team down. I like your posts, they usually contain far more sense than I could ever wish to post, but I can't agree with that. Dire.
FaIr enough. Lots of posters whose opinions I respect (including you) disagree with me (although it's always nice to read Ancient Moaner's ultra-positive match reports when he's been to a game!) and I've got no problem with that. However, I still think we played better today than we did at Chesterfield who were there for the taking - our second half performance there was disgraceful. I was worried that we'd capitulate in the second half today but was pleasantly surprised that we came out and had a go. Secondly, I thought we created more chances today than we did at Huddersfield, Stevenage, Hartlepool, Tranmere or Chesterfield. That's not saying much but it's a start. Thirdly, I think my posts can be slightly biased towards the positive because I get genuinely depressed by the knee jerk pessimism that chokes this board after a defeat - often from people that haven't gone (obviously this is not a comment aimed at you).
Are we a poor team? Yes. Are we going down? I think it's 50/50 at the moment and will entirely depend on the new faces we bring in when the window opens. Other points from today's game:
How come Gigg Lane is home to two football teams yet looks ten times better than our pitch?
Bury's square programme is ace. I love square programmes!
Why didn't Belge acknowledge me when I waved and shouted at half time? I know he was embarrassed that I had to finish his half time pint for him at Chesterfield but blanking me was a bit harsh!
I don't know, and I don't actually know how you are (although I probably do if you know Belg) If I had to take a guess, it may be something to do with the 12 pints + he had before the game :lol:
and yeah, on reflection, today may not have been as bad as I have said, but it was still bad.
