TLF10 4,440 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 11 minutes ago, Old Codger said: I think the fact that Fry is playing alongside Dijksteel and Paddy rather than Friend and Howson might be helping him a little, he can move around a bit knowing that he will be covered by other people with speed and strength. Fry for me struggled badly when he was asked to play on left hand side of defence. He looks fine in centrally and looks fine on right hand side. Am very happy he performing well again as it benefits us if he stays and benefits us if he leaves as he putting his price back up to a good level which in last 9 months had fallen due to his performances. Not advocating we sell him but harsh reality of current finances is why I make the point. Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 167 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I've been completely taken by surprise by our start to the season, it's been far better than I expected. I'm honestly starting to look forward to games again (barring the fact I can't be there) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Reading won again as well meaning we're currently the only team to take any points off them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Without context of the rest of the reffing performance, it looks a penalty. I think he's a lucky boy, there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,553 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 penna? they never got near our goal all ame and when the lad did we went down like hed been shot. ref must have laughed in his face. but if they were battering us it might wel have been one the ref would give them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,553 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 we look solid and horrible to play against. teams starting to not look forward to playing us again. add a cutting edge and keep the shots against down like we have and we could quite easily start winning runs on regular basis.

ladyspite 381 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Its looks good or well better than I thought, even if it looked ok end of last season too I just wish Warnock would hav gotten more players that he wanted, think we might have been an outsider for promotion then actually, Now I dont know, depends on if we can stay fit I think Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,407 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I love the team being tough to break down again. We were the better team last night anyway, but I've missed it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,964 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) We got 3 points by weathering a onslaught over the last 20 mins. It’s not the way I would like to win games but it’s winning, horrible yes, but winning. I think the team is now tougher even fitter but still goal shy and a small sized squad. We needed a couple more players and it shows and other teams know we are a bit of a bark without the bite I think NW is over cautious as we seen yesterday but he knows his players and there condition and he took 3 points against another inform team, now who would have put money on that? Im not getting carried away the football to watch is dire and it’s very early in the season, and who is to say the teams at the top we played will sustain there status. I think we tend to agree the league will start to reveal itself in 10 to 15 games and we will know much more about our club and the players. conclusion. i fear the squad is to small, we lack goals and the football is hard to swallow... UTB. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it, ok the game can be played in spite of the restrictions in Wales but I would not think it would be encouraged to stay in the area longer than required. You are talking 4 days before the game so back to the Boro bubble asap Link to post Share on other sites
