“I want to see a reaction from my players and there’s no better place than to play the best team in the league”
Hang on……
Does that mean we get to play against ourselves
It’s a tough one but it’s like this Last 7 games Plymouth Won 4 Drew 3 For 13 Against 8
BOLTON Won 3 Lost 4 For 11 Against 12 and there in lies the problem
Always try to be optimistic since IE dragged us up out of League 1 but not so optimistic about this game tonight
What say you???

I'm not feeling optimistic at all and I think we'll get beat.

After a disastrous performance on Saturday, a quick chance to redeem ourselves.
Normally, I am Mr Optimistic as I slightly agree with the manager’s “we are the best team in the league”. I agree to the extent that we pass the ball well and when it comes off, we are devastating but we are falling short in goal scoring and defending which is a pretty basic component of football matches.
I am worried about injuries/suspensions.
Santos was stupid with a number of his needless bookings this season so we will have a strange looking defence tonight.
Likewise, the absence of Lee and the supposed injury to Sarcevic – why do players play when they have an injury – makes the midfield a bit odd looking.
I would stick with Brockbank & Gordon at full back. Brockbank needs more help so Isgrove needs to be in front of him and maybe the experience of Baptiste instead of Aimson to help him.
Midfield, we need help for Williams so Thomason could be in as Sheehan does little defensively.
Upfront, I would stick with Doyle as I strongly believe that a lot of this year’s goal scoring problems for him has been lack of service.
If Sarcevic is fit – truly fit not hobbling on 1 leg – I would play him and Sheehan would have to be on the bench.
One other thing I would love to see is a Plan B if required.
If we are losing with 20 minutes to go, don’t replace a wide man with a wide man, a midfielder with a midfielder – put Bakayoko on to play alongside Doyle and shake it up a bit. We are too predictable in defeat.
Having said all that – optimism has returned. A tight nail biting1-0 win.

“I want to see a reaction from my players and there’s no better place than to play the best team in the league” Hang on…… Does that mean we get to play against ourselves ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ Think Salford won the Papa Johns trophy on Saturday and Sunderland won it on the Sunday last April so they were PJ Champd for a day. So our run of being self awarded best team in the league for a week is quite lengthy. Also they are only top as Wigan and Sunderland have played less games. Points per games come back and they get knocked off so not sure why Evatt is keen to award this rosette to best in show after a dozen games. Get on with it and see whos where in May. Think stats can be forged. If you told the players you wanted to be known as the team who has more shots than anyone in the league you could tell your players to take shots from kick off, 30 yards out. Little lobs for the keeper. You'd lose the game but pat on the back for hitting the target. Same with possession. If we want to make sure we have 65% possession. Keep the ball at the back, keeper to CB to CM to keeper. Especially if they're 1 up we can have as much possession as we like. I do think we need more changes tonight. Sarce, Doyle out. Thomason Isgrove in. Play it faster out hit Dapo and Isgrove on the wings early. GT and Sheehan to really start fizzing the ball about more. But alas the best team in the league will be too much for the former best team in the league. 3-0

Isn't this what being a Wanderer is all about one week we will do a team then just when we thought we were the best thing going, we go and get thumped ourselves so we will just have to dust ourselves down and start again. It's not the end of our season and I've never even thought of them pie eaters as our so called rival's just another team we need to play.At the moment we are going through a tough set of fixtures it will depend on how we respond at the end of it. Injuries and lack of form are killing us at the moment but I do think we will get over this little set back onwards and upwards stay safe one and all COYWM

Clearly Ian has been reading the BN or this forum🤪🤪 With Doyle and Sarce on the bench, he’s not made that decision based on his experiences, he’s done it from fan pressure!!! He must have🤔🤔
Interesting though
COYWM Let’s surprise some!!!!⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

If that were true the coach would have picked Politic up by the side of the M6 on the way down.
The right decision based on hefty injury(Sarce) and awful form (Doyle). Theyve not been exiled. Rested/rotated or dropped however it is the next game they'll probably start. Not sure why weve stuck so rigid with the players when it hasnt been working.
Question marks with the team but in truth probably the same team i'd pick (i havent seen Aimson though) cant really come on here at 10pm and moan too much then. Can I?

Awful defending from a set piece and we once again fall behind.
No excuses 5 mins in and just let the player peel off and head it into danger.
So little training being done on set pieces in both ends. Could be a long night.

No closing down on the edge of the area brilliant strike but if you have nobody in front of you you can do that rubbish

Well it looks like our Tuesday night run could be coming to an end that could have been three we seem to be all over the place with nobody getting hold of the ball it's very poor at the moment COYWM
