Re: BURTON ALBION V CHELTENHAM TOWN

Sorry, this 'member' is fully expecting another tepid performance and poor result, helped by more terrible officiating. Will obviously be pleasantly surprised if the outcome is otherwise. Luckily, none of the players will be (or bloody well shouldn't be) looking on here.

Re: Referee for Burton - he owes us one.......

I'm almost half tempted to go through all of the match day threads from this season and see how many times i've mentioned a s#!t decision going against us from a ref/big calls that have gone against us when it looked impossible to not give it.

Re: FFS JUST WIN!!!+

I'm actually surprised anyone still believes that we've even got a chance. Even if we do somehow get some luck or, God forbid, put in a performance and win tonight, I'm personally of the opinion that we're already down, given the last 3 fixtures. I'm tired of having renewed hope only for it to be da...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

Although Wycombe at home on 3rd February was the first properly poor performance in a while, 23rd February is when everything seemed to turn against us. The 1-1 draw at Wigan. We had ridden out the bad decisions away at Derby and Bolton and the mess of that Wycombe game and had just won 3 in a row. ...

No way I'd be thinking about letting Clarke go. Last 2 games he's got wrong yes, but maybe we're simply a poor side and it's only DC's miracle work that's put us anywhere near safety. Not sure. He had a team that was doing pretty well, but they've turned to utter s#!t and he can't seem to sort them...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

The goalkeeper seems to actually be injured for once, the defence is an absolute mess, the midfield is virtually non-existant and the strikers haven't had a touch around the opposition penalty box, and both of our relegation rivals are winning. Other than that, it's fine.

He's in a lose-lose situation. Not sticking up for DC, per se, as he shouldn't have bothered waiting for half time again when it obviously wasn't working. But, if he'd left it as it was again, and we'd played the same way as we did in the first half against Exeter and Orient, then he'd be getting st...

For me, all this began with the disastrous five minutes at home to Reading.
If you're going back to that, why not 10 or so days earlier when we lost a 1-0 lead in the 89th minute and lost 2-1 to Orient.

Amazed DC changed the formation in a game which was going to be massive in our survival hopes. Clearly wasn't working after 25 mins and did nothing to change it. And it's cost us the game.
