Chairboys v The Gas, New Years Day MDT

Has that ever been confirmed or just made up on here? (and now Gaschat fact!!!)

At last some common sense. 

Disappointing today and a few players had a nightmare, I’m sure Taylor will not play as badly again this season. But he’s been excellent so far so I’ll give him some slack for today. Overall we looked a bit tired after several games recently. I know Wycombe have had the same but looking at their results I bet after who we played and how we had to battle it took more out of us than Wycombe have expended recently. I’ll put today down as a bad day at the office. Cox played very well but he was caught out on the first goal being wrong footed. Had he dived Im sure he’d have turned it over the bar. But a good day for him. Another two goals for Chris M but we do have to play a certain way for that to happen and we didn’t do that enough early on today.

We have fought ourselves into a decent position on the edge of the playoff challengers but we are as you say okebourne, a bog standard mid table League 1 team. With anspirations to be better!!  And of course we can still challenge if we can repeat the wins we had before today. 

Tbf I thought Wycombe played well today after a bad run and produced the kind of effort we all want our sides to give. Their keeper played well but I thought he was booked earlier and then when he was booked after trying to hold the ball after our first goal I was expecting a red to be shown. Presumably it was someone else. The ref did ok although Vokes was lucky to be still on the pitch after avoiding the second yellow.  I would imagine the Wycombe player sent off will be in even deeper trouble after refusing to leave the field and he’ll miss an extra game for that.

But the team came back well and had Jevani B not shot just wide with the last touch we’d have completed the best comeback of the season. So we need to take that into the next match. Instead of inter passing on the edge of our own penalty area this time I thought we overdid the passing around on the edge of their box. We saw at the end what happened when we crossed and got the ball into their box. Had we done that more often earlier on we saw that they struggled with Chris M and John M in the box.

Sure that Matt T would have learnt something today, more bad than good but we’ve got a bit of a league gap now so time to have time coaching them into his ways.

UTG!

Lovely drop of the f bomb by Taylor there at 1.46.

Fully deserved. Should have used it more.

well at least you have admitted in your reply that your statement was stupid. I have played in goal and probably much more than you but that is irrelevent. Coxs positioning is his main strength as he leaves his line and takes up good positions which stop attacks before they have happened as he did on a few occasions today. Again he was let down by poor defending which in fact got worse when Hoole came on. I today thought that Brown and Ward were both improvements. We seem to be very susceptible to teams who play little football but have physical strength and play to that strength. I always fear when we play teams we should beat as it seems to have the opposite effect. I will also repeat what i have said previously that JCH is the type of player we should be looking to sign now as well as a strong centre half and a midfielder who can make strong challenges. Cox is the least of our worries!!

Fair comment, I just think he needs another chance, can’t be worse than Grant, we need a replacement for Wilson as he’s a sicknote, look at his career history.

IMO Hoole is not up to League 1 standard at either RB or CB and gets caught out of position far too often. We always seem to concede when he comes on as substitute. We desperately need to sign two strong CBs in January and i would love JCH to sign and another winger if Sinclair is not going to be considered.

Totally agree , Friend, what a waste of money, another over the hill signing.

Have said this about Wilson since day one but some people on here wouldn’t have it
