What a beautiful day, just imagine the buzz in the town today, just imagine the atmosphere…
The Way We Used To Live…
Competition for places is huge, we have attacking options a plenty, we haven’t conceded a goal for well over 7 hours, we are on a roll. It’s bonkers to think that a few months ago we were deciding who would be least shit out of Grigg and Graham to start the game?
”The Past was yours, the futures Wyke…..”
SAFCBlog Data Analytics Club…
Part of the dossier I sent KLD focused on Key Areas of Opportunity, most people will agree we, concede too many free kicks, are shite at corners & get caught on the break? Highlighting it is one thing, scientifically analysing the data and providing solutions is another thing altogether. Over the next three match days I focus on these 3 Key Areas of Opportunity….
- Getting caught on the break, the defence has been great of late. The win 4-0 win at then leaders Lincoln was a great result, we were actually caught out twice on the break at 0-0, we didn’t concede thankfully. Last Sunday Tranmere almost scored from our corner, at Accrington the other night we again nearly conceded from our own corner at 0-0. We’re going to get punished for this at some stage?
- I’m totally on board with Sanderson going up for corners, he’s big, he’s a handful and he scored the other week. Your CH being a temporary attacker has it’s pitfalls as he can’t then defend a break, having looked, (scientifically), at the data, this could be solved by telling Scowen or Winchester to stand at the back when we have a corner, neither of them could score in the Bigg Market during Freshers Week anyway and they are both qualified to boot the ball out. The following graphic shows this in more, (scientific), detail…
No idea what the line up will be today, but Lee will get it right….
3pm …. GAME ON….. just fucking imagine how bouncing the SOL would be now in the real world?
The pitch looks fantastic, once again added credence to the often cited link of, having a pot to piss into and getting things that cost money done
3.15pm referee is a complete whopper of the very highest order, I appreciate it’s the biggest game of his career, but he is a look at me ref. If he played golf he’d have white keks, a tour bag with his name on and play off 28 – absolute cockwomble, 100%
25 minutes…. poor game, very frantic, to be fair Lincoln look lively. The game is crying out for a moment of quality? We have the majority of the quality players so hopefully we will nudge ahead soon.
38 minutes…. the 1st goal in any game is always important, today has a feel of it being vital?
40 minutes…. 1-0⚽️what a cross from Max Power, almost Jordan Jones-esque? Great header from McFadzean, delighted for him, similar to Burge he’s done brilliant after a very difficult period 💥⚽️🔴⚫️⚪️
Half time… 1-0, job, (half), done. Lincoln not offered lots, but you’d have to say no team has come close to their management teams level of swearing from the bench, the highlight for me was, Fucks sake, 5 fucking minutes til half fucking time, not easy to weave 3 expletives into that sentence?
Delighted to be ahead, to be fair there wasn’t much between the teams, but…. we are ahead. Lincoln look half decent, they also look good whenever they get the ball wide, plenty of work still to do, but so far so good, if we can keep a clean sheet til 65mins, the strength of our bench should see us home? I guess every game is big now, but this feels huge, Peterborough home and hosed at Rochdale, we need to keep winning, we can then agree a draw with Peterborough, Hull are shit and that should be job done?
62 minutes….. SHIT 1-1, poor defending, no chance for Burge. Big 30 minutes Lads, very big
70 minutes…. chances imminent at both ends, this probably won’t finish 1-1? Let’s win 2-1 rather than lose 2-1 Lads, please, please, please……
82 minutes…. Lincoln look the more likely, def want to win, but let’s not lose. We are still in touch, I’d take going to Hull needing to beat them – 100%
90 minutes…. Credit to Lincoln, looking like a draw and probably a fair result? Apart from Peterborough, we won’t meet as good a side as this again this season.
5 minutes added on… 1-1 is ok
Full time ….. 1-1. We go again next Saturday 👍⚽️ Fair result today
