You may be right in the end, and I thought we were definitely down before Flitcroft left, but it’s not over yet.

Considering the poor form of Burton and Cheltenham, who have won a combined 1 of their last 17, I don’t think 50 points will be needed.

Burton would need 10 out of 15 points, and Cheltenham 12 out of 21.

I think it’s going to be more like 46/47. 

Anything at Wigan is good. Home games will decide if for us. Win 2 of them and I reckon we’ll scrape it.

Dm said in his presser that they might still have been tired from Friday. Really?! The mantra at the start of the season was to be fitter and stronger. Poor.

Steve, if the players were tired from Friday does that mean that we’re now going to target the winnable games in our last six remaining games and look at damage limitation in the Peterborough and Bolton games. It’s a risky strategy, I’d rather go more defensive in those two games.

If the players are tired from Friday then they are in the wrong profession !

We don’t have much other options. I’m sure you’d find something negative moan about if all 4 were sat on the bench 🥱 

Why don't you just give your mouth a rest. It's a forum so I'm saying what I think. If you want to praise their performance do so but don't say I'm negative because IMO it's the truth. Now go and get ya mates to come on here and back you up. Cause that's what you do isn't it.
If I was making toffee I'd ask Sang to bring me some of that treacle he was running in for the 2nd goal.
Now bore yourself off.

We score first we win that game 

[Valiiant]

Shows what a poor league it is when they are 11th. Absolutely nothing about them stands out. Such a wasted opportunity.

[darren1810]

This tiredness malarkey is making me unnecessarily angry 😠. 

We strolled to a win on Friday against a team who simply weren't at the races.

It's not like we expended all our energy in a 4-3 nail biter.

A really poor excuse if Moore has said that. 

We even had the luxury of subbing a sub on Friday to save him for today. An easier win we couldn't of hoped for.

For my part I think they were only marginally better than the Gas today and we did t have the same approach we had last week. 

Also, if the game had been at Vale Park, I think we'd have won that. 

Onwards and upwards to next week 

So why did the manager change the tactics. After the last 2 games you'd have thought that we could see what our best formation/tactics ought to have been!!!

Poor lads on 3k a week and tired

[RayWalkers40yarder]

At the end of the day they are paid thousands more than what the fans get paid in their jobs. Some of the attitudes have been downright disrespectful and a certain few doubt deserve to call them selves professional footballers. 

Attitude is everything and that is what makes clubs successful.. Whether that be players, managers or owner... Not to mention the 'circus upstairs'

I seriously doubt the cash dictates if you're tired or not.

But it is a piss poor excuse nontheless
