Thank you, as always, to my great patrons and hopefully welcome to a couple more as well.
Bostwick was sensational against Gillingham the sooner him and Eardley get new contracts the better. Coventry won me over a bit too had a pretty steady game.
Biggest positive is Bostwick being back. No wonder we got our first cleansheet since weeks. I love this guy.
Edun had a good game too.
We need to respect this point. Even more when you consider that we played 9 man from the start. With Hesketh and Hopper in the team that unfortunately is the case. Not sure what Payne done to MA but the fact is that he can play only better than Hesketh. Playing worse is impossible. Give him a go…
As for Hopper I struggle to believe that he singed 3.5 year contract and we have paid money for him. Absolutely uselles again. Early days? Yes. But there is no single bit of quality to see in him at all. Zero.
We have nothing or very little to offer going forward. No strikers. Barely any wingers. No number 10….
I’m happy with that point though. Especially with that being a one point more over tranmere.
Oh and Gillingham fans were awful. Worst lot at SB this season I think.
Great content! Super high-quality! Keep it up! 🙂
Hopper has a 3+ year deal, the team has been chopped and changed since his arrival, it must be difficult not only for him but others as well. I don’t think we will see his or the others true ability until we get a settled side. That I doubt will not be until next season… Diana, that was harsh! ?
Didn’t miss Shackell’s scary back-passing. Bolger and Bozzie are now the real backbone of an improved defence. That said, there doesn’t seem to be much improvement up front and we are getting too easily pushed off the ball, Scully a good example. Where was Hopper – again? As per usual the only real determined penetration of the opposition defence came from Harry Anderson. The Gills were mediocre. Hard to believe how their record of 7 wins and 7 draws on the bounce came about. We should have taken 3 points. We played much better football.
At the moment we are 16 points above Tranmere in the Drop Zone. We got to play them, Wimbledon, Rochdale and Bolton. We really should get a couple of decent wins from these 4. Poor bl**dy show if we can’t! Surely, we don’t want to scrape back into Div One by ending up just above the “drop zone”? Hardly a ringing endorsement for MA! Worth adding that our task is made harder as Blackpool and Shrewsbury currently have 3 games (possible 9 points) and MK Dons and Rochdale 2 games (6 points) in hand over us. Getting my season ticket renewed this week. Act of faith.
Lots of negative comments about Hopper, when you compare him to Tyler Walker he is National league standard. I was always a harsh critic of John Akinde, but at least with John he had some attributes, I havent seen any in Hopper yet.
So you have added another one! ? Give the man a break, he has been here 5 mins….
