  1. Yes plenty of positives. After we lost to Stevenage and Shrewsbury in October, if someone said with 6 games to go you'll be 4 points clear of 3rd. Every one of us would have taken it. Infact every single one of us would have probably taken Bolton's position after those games. Yes yesterday was poor, but if we'd taken those huge chances we win that game comfortably and we go away happy. We have more than enough to beat Blackpool at home. Bolton have a tricky game at Stevenage. Who knows we could be 7 points clear by next Friday night. Wycombe away is 2 and a half weeks away. We could have Gayle, Barkhuizen back for then.
  2. Had time to calm down a bit now after yesterday to give my honest opinion. First 20 minutes of the first half, I thought we looked good. It was all us, but we didn't create any chances at all. Scored from a corner. We go in at half time and you just think come out and get the second goal. But we started so poorly. Despite us being poor, we were still ok and Charlton did not look dangerous at all. Then Wildsmith decides to give the most ludicrous penalty away you will see (exactly the same as Oxford away) unforgiveable. Clearly not learnt his lesson. You cannot legislate for that at all. As soon as Vickers is fit, he would be going back in. Then i'd be looking for a new number 1 in the summer. Then it just gave them hope, when they had none. Another mistake and another goal. I was ok after the Barnsley game, thought it was tight, neither team created a lot. Both scored a set piece. The difference was they scored a really great finish, Neither keeper had anything to do. Draw would have been fair. But last night, we are playing against a team that has not won for 18 games. Regardless of the fact that they have good players and are underperforming. I cannot remember their keeper making a save or us testing him at all. At no point did I think we would score in open play, we could still be out there now and not scored. Which against a team 20th in the league is unacceptable. Warne comes out after every game saying we moved the ball to slow, we weren't brave enough on the ball. Yet every game we do it again. I am not a fan of Warne or the football. You can forgive the football if we win games. But last night was hideous and inexcusable. I saw people moaning he took Smith off. But Smith was blowing out his arse and was done after 50 odd minutes. Not sure why Thompson didn't get on to replace the energy vacated by Smith. Really not sure why Cashin was left back either. We simply have to win the next 3 games. All winnable. But my biggest concern is that we just are not creating any chances at all. 2 games in a row now I can't remember the opposition keeper having to make a save. Even last night if their keeper had made save after save and we were creating chances. You would have come out thinking, its one of them days, Gave 2 poor goals away but we are creating chances so carry on like that and we will be fine. The best I have seen us play this season was the second half at Oxford. We were on the front foot, brilliant. That's what we need. We have nothing to lose now, I want to see us come out, create chances and put teams to bed. Sitting on a 1-0 lead at home is criminal and has cost us so many points this season. 3 last night, 2 against Wycombe, 2 against Shrewsbury. We aren't sacking Warne now. So we have just got to get behind them and hope we can do enough to get up.
  3. How can you either be out for the season or fine for a game in 2 days 😭😭
  4. He was sprinting around, closing down, right up until the very last minute. The doctor and physio went on and assessed him and cleared him to play. If there was any doubt at all he should have been off. Then at 3-0, if he is sore, he needs to take some responsibility and say, look I am a bit sore here, and then just get him off. The game was over. If he is out for any period of time, we probably need to try and bring Gayle in.
  5. Some of the reactions on here and twitter last night were beyond a joke to be honest. "No prem club is going to trust Warne with their young players" "Max Bird probably left because he cant stand Warnes football" "Warne can't attract players, the club are lying to us" "Warne hasn't got the contacts" "The club said we had money, a good budget, this is a lie" Amongst other things. Yet if you take time to wait to hear the reasons and let the club have their say. We were two young strikers first choices, but unfortunately the clubs in question could not get cover and therefore wouldn't let them go. But apparently we have a manager who cant attract these young players because no premier league manager would trust Warne. Max Bird was leaving anyway. It really sounds like even if we had got promoted this season, he would have gone. He has been here for a long time. He wants a fresh challenge. Simple as that. No ulterior motives, no hate of the manager, he just wants a fresh challenge. A deal agreed with a striker, all pretty much done, till at 8pm the gaffer of the club in question pulls the plug. What can we do about that? We knew of every striker available, we left no stone unturned. But we just couldn't get one done. Despite trying our best and essentially having one agreed until the plug gets pulled at the 11th hour. We clearly had a but of money left to bring one in, but through no fault of the manager or the club, it has not happened. Yet yesterday the club, the manager got dogs abuse for failing to get a striker in. Washington and Waghorn will be back in 3 weeks. You have Barkhuizen that can play through the middle, NML if needed. In the next 5 games we have one midweek game, so the others are all a full week apart. Plenty of times for Collins to recover. We have ended the window with a better midfield than when we started & wingers that would be the envy of most clubs in this league. Lets get behind them now and stop looking to pin blame and point the finger at. UTR
  6. I mean in fairness to Warne. If you have agreed everything, medical booked, clubs agreed, players agreed. For their gaffer to say at 8pm actually no, I have changed my mind. There really isn't a lot you can do is there.
  7. Remember when we were linked with Jordan Rhodes? Some people on here did the exact same thing. "No thanks" "Hes past it" People pointed to his goal scoring record being poor. He ended up at Blackpool and hes second top scorer with 15 goals in 19 games. I bet we all would take him now. Now we are doing the same with Gayle.
  8. Mendez-Laing, Nyambe and now Cashin. Maybe players do like playing under Warne after all.
  9. If you cant see it as good news then you're beyond help mate
  10. He has one year left on his deal and Brighton bid £4 million for him. You can double this now. They are on about £10 million for Ronnie Edwards at Peterborough.
  11. Yeah it was. I just could not say exactly what it was as I was told in secret. I just realised the mood was low so wanted to pick it up and just say look good news is coming.
  12. This was what it was. I was swore to secrecy so I couldnt say exactly what it was because its not fair on the person who told me. I just recognised people were unhappy yesterday so wanted to try and say look good news is coming.
  13. Nothing to be concerned about mate. It's good news.
  14. Again though. Just because it came out from the Sheffield Wednesday end. Not our end. They would not have been the only strikers we looked at But the fact we even looked at Lee Gregory should give you an idea how little money we have.
