Best Of

Er, Wrexham (and Charlton) are also playing on Tuesday, so if we both win, Wrexham will still remain in 2nd place.

Huddersfield away is our game in hand over Wrexham, not Shrewsbury.

I shouted 'get it forward' a lot but they didn't. It's almost as if they think someone angrily shouting at them is something to be ignored. The lino didn't 'keep up' either.🙂

We pay their wages an' all.

Yes Wrexham are away to Cambridge, I have had thoughts as to whether I could best support our efforts by wearing a Wycombe shirt in the home end at the Abbey, which is almost walking distance away from mine, and singing "Shit Referee" and "It's Disney, its make believe".

It is correct, they were both garbage regardless of the stats. Particularly Rotherham, I think I may have pstd from the first half. Good points nevertheless.

Well said @railwaysteve btw , plenty of positives amongst some very strange times this season.

I've got no desire to see Dodds leave or us lose games but find selection baffling. Have some posters leaned into that a bit much out of loyalty to Blooms? probably. But also no need to talk up poor games, opposition or selections. We've got our ridiculously positive posters as much as our negative nellies. Maybe people could just say what they see.

Tbh posting regularly on a site but then saying you'll never criticise anything that the club, team or manager say is pointless and takes away from what is no doubt an experienced and knowledgeable poster.

Tuesday is a proper match day, Wrexham and Charlton are both playing

The Wrexham game was a real downer, and very understandably so. The handball by their player in their penalty area is exactly the sort of decision that Wrexham are getting seemingly every week and that feeling that the dice are loaded is a real invitation to give up.

For me there are five places where the mood matters. The team manager / head coach / whatever, he is definitely positive and obviously working hard to mould the team into something he can tweak and improve during a match. I don't think it is coincidence that we have been a better second half team recently and would offer up evidence from yesterday that our options for attacking seem to grow and flourish as the game progressed. There was less and less of the horrible sideways passes between centre backs as the game wore on. So I have no worries there. Oh and

Secondly there is the team. They all worked hard all game. Josh personifies that. Cameron played a blinder. You could see how much Joe Low wanted a goal when towards the end he was working away with his feet, trying to get a shot away, I believe it was around the edge of their penalty area. I saw Richard Kone trying runs against their back line and then could sense his frustration when the ball didn't come. Key players all involved and sharp. The job looks harder than it might have been, but they look well up for it. And some of the coherency from the best part of the early season was there again at the end.

Thirdly there is the crowd. I was on the terrace yesterday. Decent singing and support all game. Hopeful and supportive I would have said the mood was. Not over confident, but that is not surprising with the previous home Saturday game being the Wrexham game in front of a capacity crowd, the nil - nil quid a kid game against Wigan and the nil - nil against Northampton back on 25th Jan.

Number four - we have the best media team in the division if not in the 92. Enagaged, almost infinitely knowledgeable and both realistic and positive - I love them to bits.

Last and maybe not least, there is the Gasroom, traumatised but still there, still the best debating of all football forums, still a place to savour and feel good about, even when the dish served is salty.

You say we struggled to beat two teams in poor form but that’s not correct. Rotherham had lost only one of their previous four games (1-0 against Wrexham) including beating Orient, whilst Lincoln had also lost only one of their previously four (1-0 against Birmingham) which included scoring 5 goals against Bristol Rovers and 4 goals against Crawley.

Walsall were run away leaders in league 2, currently only 2 wins in their last 12 games. Now only top by a single point.

Wrexham are grinding results out every week, yes they are getting lucky but regardless we need to do the same to get promotion . We all love the free flowing football but just maybe dodds is doing this to get us over the line making sure we don’t concede firstly and get the required goal. If it doesn’t come or we concede then as per Rotherham we switch to the team earlier in the season. Let’s just hope that maybe on Tuesday we get that goal a little earlier and push on to get a big win.
