Gas v Burton match day thread

We keep losing away to poor sides (not table wise) be glad when we have everyone back to pick from!

4-1 is a hammering, scoreline wise, regardless of the performance.

that would certainly make sense so unlikely to happen.after they went in front that was it as any form of entertainment. Fine if you like just to have a result but not for me.

Well it’s been a cracking day so far.
Got absolutely stuffed by South Africa at the cricket.
Got absolutely stuffed by sh**ty Burton.
The rugby is next, what could possibly go wrong 😂
Page 18 of this thread already, not surprising plenty to come yet after a loss from the Barton out brigade.

Friday night.

Just got back (staying in Buxton) and most of my frustration is with their time wasting and with Woods for his reaction. Felt we were in the ascendency and that’s why they tried to take the momentum out of the game by feigning injuries. But had woods stayed on reckon we would have got something from the game or at least had a v good chance.

It wasn’t terrible but it was another massive failure to handle sh**ty lower league shenanigans and an awful result. A sending off that could have a big impact on our season especially as he’s out for three games now.

But we were well on top when Woods foolishly got sent off, so we can't really blame injuries for today's loss.

he looked frustrated all game. He saw less of the ball when ward was in the middle with him in the 1st half as they occupied the same area. Should have started with Bogarde instead of ward who is a bid disappointment as a supposed championship player

We started off well but the 2 goals we concede are really soft. We’ve given it away cheaply in the final third and when the balls come back and crosses have come in I thought the centre halves should have dealt with them better . Clearly the game changes massively on the red card because we were well on top and looked like scoring I thought. But I felt that Barton got the 2 subs right at half time. Sinclair looked well off it and Vale was getting absolutely murdered down the left. But when he went to the right wing he was having much more joy than Sinclair and was more of a threat, whilst on the other side gibbons was dealing with the threat of their right winger much better than vale did by winning his battles and he also got himself forward to create some chances too. Until the red I thought woods was doing well in midfield but it totally finished us off and there was never going to be a way back after that. I felt Taylor seemed to get worse once he started making mistakes with his distribution. Coxs kicking wasn’t as good as usual either. Collins was ever a threat, as was Evans, but a couple of times they elected to shoot when we had players in wider areas and arguably better positions. How unlucky were we when the ref blew for a head injury the moment the ball was crossed for vale to finish early in the second half……. If only he’d waited a second. I couldn’t help but notice what a strange lopsided formation we played with for most of the game. When we had the ball the left back and right winger went as high as possible, leaving us with 3 at the back. Which at times just left us going right and left at the back, constantly looking for openings. You sit there and hear the groans in the crowd, wanting the players to launch it forward but clearly this is how theyre told to play. At times it makes for a very boring spectacle. I know it ended up being an absolute dicking after the red but I felt Collins and gibbons were the pick of the bunch and until his red Wods was playing well. I wonder what tinkering were going to see on Tuesday?
