Mid table is my aspiration for the season . Anything above that would be amazing and anything below is also acceptable as long as we keep in the division 🐏

I'm not too concerned about the loss of Wildsmith.
He did well for us, but personally I'd only say he is a decent keeper. He isn't commanding, he isn't the best with the ball at his feet, and when the pressure is on he is likely to make a mistake. I also hate his ridiculous time wasting which winds up the opposition and turns the referees against us in close games.

Job half down, now let's finish it. Cracking finish by Max Bird. Shocking hairstyle though. Even if I could still grow hair on my head, that wouldn't be my choice. 

I thought this was gonna be about revealing Simmo's true allegiance after the game!  🤣 

That’s the spirit ! Well done that man. 

Never in doubt

 

 

Full time Bolton 2-2! 

Is that similar to a transit van ?

We do need that third goal though…
As it is , if they nick one back u can just see the mega nerves coming into things and us end up hanging on…

Sibs playing with confidence, Tommo a live wire. Smith looking sharp. There looks to be real intent from all of them. Orient look rattled. Just hope we don’t sit too deep in the second half

Two goals from a corner. 
Orient created nowt.
Derby look quicker, stronger and are getting to all the second balls.
Dominating position without actually creating very much, mostly playing in front of Orient and trying to swing in crosses and win corners. Working so far, no complaints.

And because we had such a small squad, we had to make plenty of signings in a single season. We're still playing catch up.

I always try to strip away the dressing and focus on what I see. Had we taken any of the 3 or 4 gilt edged opportunities we carved out in the first 40, I think conversations on here would be rather different. As someone else said, fine margins. The second half I thought saw an emboldened Wycombe and I don't think that would have been the case were they 2 or 3 down. Likewise, when NML blasts the ball over the sticks, or CBT fumbles a sitter, can we seriously suggest that these are tactical or coaching deficiencies. With the amount of experienced players we had on the park, calmer heads should have prevailed IMO, though none of this negates the view that at times, PW has clearly got it wrong.
I've not reiterated my sense of it recently, as a pet hate of mine is posters who relentlessly post the same material, but whilst I support Warne currently (likewise the playing roster), I opposed his appointment and can also see how we'd likely need a very different formula to prosper were we to secure promotion. I have enjoyed some performances, Pompey only a game back, I thought was a fantastic game between two sides playing good attacking football, despite the atrocious conditions, but I'm not blind to the occasions where we've looked all over the place either. My view though, is that we are just a L1 side after all, despite being 'massive' and perhaps these inconsistencies come with the territory.

I would never assume anything with Derby , but I can hope .
All I meant was there will be a couple more twists and turns in the next few weeks and let’s hope they are favourable for us 🤞

Bolton won’t get maximum points from their remaining games . Neither will PBoro .
Tonight was predictably poor against one of our favourite foes in this Division but the fun will run to the final Saturday.
Embrace the ride and here’s to nicking promotion on the final day . 🐏

Every time I start to feel slightly positive towards Warne, a performance like this comes along and ruins it. Absolutely nothing all game. I don't even know how to describe it. I can't even remember much details of the game. It's just a blur of nothingness.  

1.26 am just got home after numerous road closures and diversions.
It's hard work sometimes. 

Poor game but I don't think this is the disaster people are making it out to be.
Personally I was always slightly worried about this fixture and on my predictor I had us drawing this game and we still go on to make automatic promotion.
If we win the last 3 games Bolton will have to win all their 4 to go above us including beating portsmouth and peterborough.
It's not in our hands right now but it could all turn again after saturday. We just need to be in pole position come the last game of the season.
I still back us to do this.

We had the chances to win that, gave them very little, 3 games left, I still believe we will get over the line, there will be twists and turns like there has been before, lets all keep the faith, and get behind the lads on saturday, lets get the win, and see where we are come 17.05 on saturday. 
Also thought Adams was excellent again tonight. 
Once A Ram Always A Ram. 

Adams? Cashin? Nelson?  Yes tonight was disappointing, but nothing has been won or lost yet.

I think if we win our final 3 then we will get 2nd, even if that’s not guaranteed now.
Peterborough or Bolton are realistically still going to have to win all their remaining games to finish above us, as I think that’s our last points dropped of the season.
Peterborough are two games in to a run of 7 games in 20 days. They’ve won the two so far, but if they go on to win the next 5 in 17 days then fair play to them.
For Bolton I think the key turning point is going to be Saturday, if they beat Pompey then we may be in trouble. They then have Shrewsbury and Port Vale at home which should be nothing less than 6 points.
I personally see it going in to the final day with Derby 89, Bolton 88, Peterborough 86. If we can’t get promoted before the final game, then having both Bolton & Peterborough within reach of us is better than only having one. If one of the two can’t get automatics, then I wouldn’t be surprised if that side rested a few.
It’s strange because despite how poor tonight was, and despite it no longer being in our hands, it still feels like it is.
9 points from 9, we can do it. I still think we’ll go up.
