Hi Rams, I commented on the reverse fixture when you battered us earlier in the season so thought I would do the same just to give some context from the other side.
A very different game to the one at Pride Park earlier in the season. The San Sixfields pitch is much smaller which definitely helps us, particularly against the big boys in the division. We have taken a pasting of pretty much all of the teams at the top of the table away from home this season, whilst at home managed mostly narrow defeats instead.
No doubt that you should have scored at least one of the two chances in the first half, or at the very least worked the keeper, one of them goes in and you dont lose the game without a shadow of a doubt. The game earlier in the season you were picking holes in between our midfield and defense with ease, also NML pace was a constant threat. However in this game were clearly more compact and outside of those opportunities it didn't feel like you created a huge amount of clear cut chances. It was noticeable that you were much more direct this game for whatever reason, which I am far more confident of us deadling with. I know you have a number of bodies out, but we have 10 out (mostly in defence) so the injury list was similar on both sides.
I thought the goal was a really well taken finish, definite foul in the build up but the defending after that would be pretty poor. Your full back (Wilson I think) also definitely handled it in the second half with no one around him. 
I sit in the end where Bradley got his red, he definitely put his head in. Don't get me wrong i dont think Monthe is going to require a trip to the hospital but unfortunately you have to go down to almost bring it to attention. Thought it was poor from a guy who is that experienced and was seemingly always looking for physicality in the game. Yes we tried to slow down the game, no doubt about it. If i was an away fan I would be furious and hope the ref would stop it. But to add some context our season has been petering out to a degree with mid table safety and clearly our manager has given them a rocket pointing out there are still points to play for, there was not a lack of effort on our point despite little to play for seemingly. To be honest we are doing about as well as a club our size could be expected to do, as we were on of the favorites for the drop.
I hope you go up, clearly a huge club that should not be at this level (plus dont want Peterborough to go up). I am guessing there is a big split in the fanbase over the manager, that was evident by the booing of one of the substitutions which you don't expect from a team that are fighting for the title. As a completely neutral observer Warne to me sits in the Gareth Ainsworth esque category of managers. Likeable character and personable, but with limitations at a higher level and in developing a more free flowing style, it dosnt seem like the best fit. Playing Pompey and Peterborough recently (both away so different challenges I guess) but they seemed much more composed in their style of play and just seemed to have more ways to hurt us.
Hopefully your injury woes ease up a little and all the best for the rest of the season.

I was wrong. So what, I didn't sign him, our manager did and takes every opportunity to shoe-horn him into the team.

He obviously must have meant Curtis Nelson

Why didn't we play in white?

He is a weak link, but no need for the brain dead remark surely.

Not that overheard🤣😂

Best season we have had in a bloody long time , ground was full to the ginnells Saturday with most staying long after the whistle to celebrate and leaving extremely happy , I was surrounded by singing all the way back to the car , seen some great goals scored and seen some not so great performances in games at times over a long season , if we get promoted this season will live long in the memory of this old boy who’s seen the great times and the lowest of lows ,it will live long as the warne promotion season that I really enjoyed ,
simple fact is we have one or two posters who are intent on rubbishing anything achieved and winding people up trying to stop them enjoying all the good stuff that’s happening for our club and us fans,
honestly ? Just stick them on ignore or read there stuff , see it for what it is , laugh and move on without replying and giving them the pleasure of winding you up ,
it really is that simple 🤷🏻‍♂️
 

Tbf, he never had any in the first place.

Teachers 😁

Fozzy much better captain in my opinion. At least he knows what he is doing, and I am a fan who doesn't like getting on players backs.

I was a dinner lady, that was the sort of remarks we heard in the playground not from adults

He was dreadful today.

Take a moment to compare Bradley and Forsyth. Football ability. Temperament. Professionalism. Chalk and cheese. 

He made changes, bad ones, he got it wrong. The players were abject. What more do you want me to say? No amount of moaning about it online will change it.
 
If it helps people feel better getting their thoughts about Warne off their chests then carry on. I’ve long since accepted he’s here and has his limitations, IF we go up I’ll worry about the championship then. IF we go up and Warne can’t get the team winning games he’ll be sacked and that’ll be that, next one up gets the chance to do better and we go again.

You shouldn’t need to aim for anyone if you’re putting balls across the six yard box. That’s where our players should be. Where they actually are you’d need laser guided crosses to find. 

Running out of steam as a team . How houirhane and Bradley have stayed on I’ll never know 

Mel just threw money at problems, that's why we are where we are.

Most entertainment there's been is waiting to see if anyone I know uses away end Ladies toilet

Very pleased Thompson starts

It’s a back three rather than a back five isn’t it!
previously we’d end up with only about three creative players on the pitch! Is a lot more balanced now.

Exactly.  This formation has lo9kwd so much better with Sibley and Ward/Wilson.
