Just Back (Merged)

Quoted from the driver

My take on the match
The wind spoiled the game
The pitch too dry
The ref was awful
They wanted the game more than town
Very poor from town
Craig Clay  should play every game
Some may agree some may disagree just my thoughts

Thought the ref had a good game. One of the better in this league. One or two decisions that looked dodgy but not too much to complain about. Agreed about Clay, don't see all this fuss about Brown, 'best midfielder in this league' we got told when he signed...

The good news today was that we never looked remotely capable of creating a  decent chance to be missed.  

The bad news was the "nothingness" of our performance that was punctuated with comical, unforced errors.  

Play like that in the play-offs and we will not score against anybody.

We probably need to win in the first leg because we cannot trust our home form.  

The better news (?):
Maybe we have got one terrible performance out of our system before it really matters. Surely we cannot put in a nother non-poerformance as bad as that?  

We are isolated in third place with no pressure and that the 2 dropped points at Chester no longer matter. Hurst has different player options to consider for the last 2 league games.

Dooooooooooooooooom and glooooooooooooooooom! Chill!! We can still do it. We'll be at home in 2nd leg, good result (as per our away form) in 1st and we'll be grand!!

We are Town!!

If we revert back to the basic line up in the 7 goal displays earlier in the season - (is it a coincidence Craig D was on the bench for both?), I think Town can be on the front foot to see off the opponents in the play offs.

Points have been accumulated with a compact brand of football, pinching goals as and when (usually Craig being the hero in this type of scenario), but a brutal approach to seeing off opponents is needed in the play offs - must break the mould of the last 2 seasons.

Also, this has to be done quickly to get the fans back on board

A post that could have been written at the same time last year and the year before. Wrexham lost two play off semi's, followed by a play off final and then went downhill. That is what i fear.

It is, and always has been the awful lack of goals when needed that is killing us. Look at the latest scoring stats;

31 Akinde(Barnet)
23 Parkin(Forest Green)
23 Rendell(Woking)

No Town player in the top 5, and then the most ridiculous stat, the 5th placed top scorer..

17 Gray (Telford)

17 for a relegated side! How hard is it to get a team scoring?

The key is to remain positive. We're still in with a chance and that's all that matters. We've got a bad performance out of the way for when it really matters. Realistically, we weren't going to win the title anyway.

That wasn't good, wouldn't have put brown in for clay myself but that was a real non performance. On a side note the wind made the game worse and the pitch is shite!
Definitely the play offs now and I think we've a pretty good chance, not too much tinkering for me, pick your best team and play it for the three games of you can.

Note on the ref thought he missed a couple of big decisions, Robertson was practically assaulted and there was a horror tackle on disley that was knee high but didn't even warrant a free kick. Should have had at least one pen for hand ball but that doesn't excuse a poor performance.

I do not want to call the team after that awful performance,

They have done well to get us where we are,

So I will just tell you about the 3 highlights of the day,

1.  The fish + chips after the game.

2.  The game at half time by the little school boys,

3. The ref when he blew the final whistle.

If we do not improve our home form we will be down here for years.

For me that performance was solely the responsibility of the players. They can't hide behind Hurst, grow a pair and accept responsibility for your NON performance

How many times is that now?
