Re: What the hell...
i agree with the last 5 posts.
congrats to crawley, they did a job on us. as always.
we always struggle against teams that get in our faces and stop us having the flowing football we win so many games with.
midfield was largely bypassed tonight and when the big hoof came, farrel did the best he could, j-lo was never going to be given space by them.
ref was poor.
i don't expect too much from monday either. we never do any good at kiddy.

Re: What the hell...
I can hardly believe some of the comments on this thread.
The players have been magnificent for the last 3 months, way above expectations.
I think we can forgive a slightly off the pace performance against a difficult opponent. Any one who has seen the last 2 away games knows how much the players have given to get those superb results - a 3rd. monumental effort in 6 days was expecting rather a lot.
I am perfectly happy with last night's point.

Re: What the hell...
Nice to read some sense, I cannot believe what I have logged on this morning to read. Players not deserving their money? Huke terrible? JE a muppet for playing the game on a Friday?rushdenman wrote:I can hardly believe some of the comments on this thread.

Bunch of arrogant and quite frankly clueless crybabies on this thread if that is their true opinion in the cold light of day, and if they feel the need to rant like that after the final whistle, just a few childish muppets themselves throwing their toys out of the pram because we didn't win 5-0.
Last night was not a great performance. It was a tired performance against a well-organised physical and dirty team intent on not playing football. It comes in the middle of a fantastic, energy sapping run where every player has done the club proud. I suggest those that only turn up to certain games and are too busy posting their ill-informed opinions all over this website every week get more informed before letting rant.
Rarrely would I be this annoyed, but after what we have had to put up with during recent years, one home draw against Crawley is not the end of the world, so grow up and dont act like it.
Support the players, they have earned it!

Re: What the hell...
I don't know if some of those comments are aimed at me, but i attend all home matches and the majority of away matches so i'd say i was perfectly placed to say whatever i liked.
However, i do regret some of the things i said yesterday i was just pissed off because the game was so frustrating to watch, particularly coming after such a great performance on Tuesday. I certainly didn't boo because in reality the hard work the lads have put in the last few months means the result probably won't even matter. I'll be there against Kiddy on Tuesday supporting the boys.
One thing i won't retract is what i said about Jefferson Louis, he didn't have a good game at all and i still don't know why he played.

Re: What the hell...
I believe that JE started with Louis because he probably felt he may have had a point to proove to Steve Evans and could unsettle those burly Crawley defenders. Unfortunately, he wasn't on song and at times was isolated relying on a punted service from Dale and I guess Jefferson be the first to admit that he didn't have his best game for us last evening.
However, I feel that Louis, on balance, has been a great signing for us and hope he is given a permanent deal in the summer. ;)

Re: What the hell...
I would agree with that. I think he has added something to our attack, although he didn't have the best of games last night. In the second half it didn't help that he always had two on him.Trek wrote:I believe that JE started with Louis because he probably felt he may have had a point to proove to Steve Evans and could unsettle those burly Crawley defenders.

Re: What the hell...
I'd agree with that too - and he really seems to bonded with the rest of the squad - look at his celebration after the Stevenage goal for a good example. He didn't have a bad first half last night, showing decent pace a couple of times, but did tire on the soft pitch.Mad Dog wrote:I would agree with that.

Unfortunately he seems to have had his best games away from Nene Park, which means that some who rarely travel away have got a false impression of his contribution - although some of the opinions seem rather blinkered.

I agree with you, Would you prefer us to be mid or bottom table? We are in the best posn table wise that we have been in some time, we have a REALLY good team that i believe will take us to the playoffs, something i could only dream could happen at the start of the season,and yet they have to endure comments like this,booing them and making comments
