Last night reminded me of the game Tuesday 17th August 2021 08:30 - Aug 17 with 946 viewsKeno

We played a sh1tthouse of a team (Cheltenham) who threw everything into the box and, despite having taken the lead, for done 2-1

Last night felt so much better

And yet in that match we completely dominated the first half, had the lead and several chances to go further ahead. Had Hladky not made a basic error we might have seen it out as we were far more comfortable than much of last night at that point. After that we crumbled which became a habit.

There's a slight tendency to re-write last season at the moment to over-emphasise this season's positives. And I say that as someone who was very obviously not impressed by Paul Cook.

'Had Hladky not made a basic error' is a common theme from the beginning of last season. Walton is such a difference maker.

Yeah, its a fair point.

I thought, particularly aroun minute 55/56... when Ladapo missed the one on one, and they went down the other end and Walton pulled off that save.... last year, we'd have ended up 1-0 down.... its just the way it was, every chance seemed to go against us. This year, yes, we are probably playing better, but we are also getting that bit of luck that we didn't seem to have before.

Had Bonne tapped the ball into the empty net we’d have won at a canter and last season may have been totally different ha.

Makes you think doesn't it. Bonne scores, maybe we go on a bit of a run from confidence. Cook gets more time, by then KM is snapped up by another club.

So basically, if we get promoted it's down to Bonne.

Undoubtedly. He certainly wasn't the only problem - central midfield off the ball was glaringly absent - but it's very clear how big an upgrade Walton is.

Exactly. We were good that first half down there.

Rode our luck last night which we never seemed to do under Cook. Having a GK as good as Walton clearly helps. Harness, much like Celina, has that ability to pull a goal from nowhere. Similar to Chaplin his shooting is outstanding.

Hladky barely made a genuine save in those opening games. Near enough every half decent attempt resulted in a goal. He simply cannot have been as poor as he seemed. Cook definitely brought him to be Number 1 but soon realised that he wasn't good enough.
