We have the same points (36) as Barnsley did in mid December last season and they finished second. In fact we've reached that total a week earlier than they did.
PS: But we do need to start turning draws into wins.
Should have been out of sight at half time, played some lovely stuff. Best Ive seen us pass the ball since I don't know when.
Second half we let them build up a head of steam. They are a good side and very strong at home so it was unreasonable perhaps to expect us to boss the game from start to finish but the way some of our midfielders disappeared was frustrating.
Pluses: Keane was unplayable in the first half, Dozzell looked as good as he can and Downes and Woolfenden...you can see why we will be lucky to hold onto them if we don't go up.
Our midfielders HAVE to start making better choices in the final third (Edwards overcooked his cross in the first half when a more measured ball would have given Judge a tap-in) and maybe shoot once in a while. Judge, Nolan and Edwards in particular were known for scoring long-range screamers before they came to us. People get fixated on the strikers when we don't kill off games but the midfield needs to weigh in with some goals soon.
Was looking forward to a huge turnout at the league game at St Andrews but suspect this will be diluted somewhat by the cup match. Not that I'm complaining - good confidence-booster last night
Why didn't we play a stronger side against Lincoln so we could earn a plum draw against Coventry away, which if we'd won we could still draw another L1 club in the third round.
Offer everyone who says it's made up a villa on The Maldives, but they have to agree to live there until 2050. If the science isn't real, you'll be fine. If it is, you'll need to develop gills.
Just looking at train tickets for the game at St Andrews. Wonder how many tickets we'll get? Coventry getting crowds of 5,000 ish despite their good start
Then Murphy might have over-egged things a touch. Most of us realised the total was close and although I've donated to the fund myself, I'm more concerned with the future of the club than the past.
Signing two strikers - one permanent and one loan. With Sears and Lankester out for such a long time, three months of a promising Prem striker would be a big help with so many fixtures.
So frustrating to draw that one, but the plus point is that we easily contained one of the pre-season promotion favourites and a club with parachute payments still. Actually feel sorry for Chambers, he broke off from the handshake line before kick off ahead of all the rest of the Town players and sprinted to the area looking genuinely delighted to be back on the pitch. Must have felt pretty low afterwards because as Lambert said, without that mistake we win the game - Sunderland didn't open us up once.
Rowe looked dangerous and Woolfenden was superb. Downes was great as well. The manager makes a lot of the fact that we have a young team and that might count against us at times but today it was the senior players who let us down, Chambers and then Judge. Did depress me a bit how quickly some of our knuckle draggers got on Judge's back though, including one lad in front of me who kept shouting "just go" whenever he made a mistake. Transfer window's closed pal. And he'll come good.
