Now the negative bit

Newsflash ! Your comments will this be here in the morning  

I don't think there's anything wrong with someone airing their negative opinion or constructive criticism after a victory. Can't really have rules on when we're allowed to make negative comments. As long as its constructive or backed up by some reasoning, then I don't have a problem with it, and it can be debated rather than just shut down.

Pretty much sums up my post. There’s no doubt in my mind that Hurst and Doig will watch that back and be concerned about what happened defensively today.

“Now for the negative bit”

Why? We’re unbeaten in 3 with two wins and a good away point at well fancied Stockport.

We went two goals behind and managed to pull it back and get a win. What does that say about this group of players and their attitudes…

5k+ for the second game in a row.

BP was rocking and there is a feel good factor around our club again.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re all entitled to an opinion but let’s just have a while to enjoy this after one of the worst years of our lives as GTFC fans - there will be plenty of time for talking about negatives along the way…

Bunch of drama queens. Don't spoil the positive energy bulllshit. As if anything OC could say should make a blind bit of difference to what any fan or player should be feeling tonight, no offence OC. Maybe everyone wants to line up and have a go at Hurst re his post match interview as well. He was quite scathing at times and named names. We scored four, great, we conceded three, not so great. Why not have a bit of a balanced debate on here like grown ups instead of behaving like spoilt three year olds..

Exactly. I’m as thrilled with today as anyone. I just think we can get better. We could have put them away 5 or 6 today, surely that’s a positive? I see a weakness, what’s wrong with calling it out?

Tend to agree re Macca and also believe Shaun should have done better in his challenge which led to the first goal and McAtee should have done better with when laying the ball off straight to a Barnet player that led to the second. For a change I sat in the Pontoon so can’t comment on what went wrong for their third.

But without their goals we wouldn’t have had the great drama and excitement so like 50 years ago the second home game was won 4-3, albeit that was a league cup game. Personally felt the defenders did ok but in the latter part of the first half they got on top in midfield and to be fair we’re fairly sharp with their passing and had a few decent players who caused us problems. Second half our midfield totally dominated and I can’t remember a game where we spent so much time in the oppositions half for many a season.

Still need a couple of players but a great match, good football and a late winner so pretty much a perfect afternoon.

Not sure what he was doing for their 3rd but the first two were down to poor defending and not Macca's fault.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I totally agree. Problem is that he’s quite slight in stature compared to many keepers, including Crocombe, and I worry that a more savvy team will work out that it’s a weakness. Yes, we had a great day today but we also got a bit lucky.

Slight? Are you kidding me?! That’s preposterous. Whatever we think of Macca, he’s an athlete and definitely not slight.

Whilst people are entitled to post what they like I think the bloke’s done enough in the last ten years to deserve a bit more respect. He started the season with two clean sheets and a very solid looking defence. There were various reasons in different areas of the pitch why we conceded 3 goals against Barnet but to single out Macca is baffling. There are very few keeper who command their box at all times and can claim the majority of crosses. Dave Beasant is the only one I’ve seen do it for town. For me it’s a cheap shot and strange to post something negative on a day of so many positives. I wouldn’t swap him for another keeper in the conference as didn’t see many better in League Two. Remember some of the jokers we had in goal before Macca and be careful what you wish for.
